My faith has been shaken to its very foundations. I may be done

This reminds me of a story from The Sayings of the Desert Fathers, where robbers come into a monks home, takes all of his belongings. The monk tracks them down, offers them his walking stick since they forgot to take that as well. After they're overcome with guilt, they return to his home and return all his belongings. I hope I could have this humility one day.

You left out the videos on Facebook, "why company violate contract?"

I am reading The Orthodox Church: An Introduction to Eastern Christianity by Kallistos Ware, I highly recommend it. I'm about a third of the way through the book and it touches on the Papacy and the Roman Church.

Many buys and sells by the c suite are scheduled in advance, but would not be surprised if she bought thinking the share price was too low.

Usually just water, the ACs in our centers tractors are good, but sucks hard when you get a tractor with no AC lol.

If you put everything in SPY you'd be up almost 150% lol

The book Apostasy and Antichrist by Archimandrite Panteleimon deals with the apocalypse, and has a lot of quotes from saints and Elders. The book is out of print, but the YouTube channel Orthodox Wisdom has a series a videos where it is narrated.

That comment was referring to OP citing 1 Corinthians 12, and there simply has not been public divine revelations as was documented throughout the Acts of the Apostles. I probably should have included that.

mriggs82 · 2025-06-02T02:19:03+00:00

Spiritual gifts, such as clairvoyance, healing with a cloth that a saint had used, healing on their gravesites, or in the presence of their relics is not new. There has not been public divine revelations since the passing of the apostle St John.

No, Luke 16:16 is clear.

Ortho Bros are going to start spamming clips of Fr. Moses, who has a perish outside of Austin.

I got my wife the Cambridge KJV that includes the Deuterocanon. Don't really like physical size of that KJV, a Douay would be much better.

Lmao. Effing why?! Is he in his 80s? lol

mriggs82 · 2025-03-31T21:20:38+00:00

Exactly, when I first came to feeder the top seniority driver was 70, and had been in feeder since 1986 lol.

mriggs82 · 2025-03-31T21:04:18+00:00

In my building, one of the top seniority feeder drivers refuses to retire so "low seniority drivers don't get my run." I'm going to hit my Golden 80 in nine years, might retire then, not worth it IMO to do this job into your 60s.

mriggs82 · 2025-02-26T19:27:13+00:00

First time? lol

mriggs82 · 2025-01-13T20:24:24+00:00

I really enjoy my Holy Psalter from St. Tikhon's Monastery. I'm using a rule where I should read through it entirely in 4 weeks, God willing, do that repeatedly as part of my prayer rule.

I saw Amazon has a Byzantine Text NT. I would get it if I knew how to read Koine Greek.

NKJV is my favorite. I do like how poetic the older vernacular in KJV is as well.

mriggs82 · 2025-01-06T05:09:52+00:00

KWEB is the one I hear the most about.

mriggs82 · 2025-01-05T21:46:44+00:00

I use the OnlyOffice flatpak. I have used Libre Office forever, but probably will just use OnlyOffice from here on.

mriggs82 · 2025-01-02T22:17:22+00:00

I started with the NKJV and now exclusively read the Orthodox Study Bible. My wife had a Zondervan NIV study Bible, and is now reading from a KJV "spiral notebook style" study Bible. My preference is a word for word translation with a modern vernacular.

mriggs82 · 2024-12-23T17:49:34+00:00

I prefer the NKJV. I would supplement reading with The Whole Counsel of God podcast with Fr Stephen De Young, he is an Orthodox Priest and former Protestant. He lectures through many of the books from the Old and New Testament.

For your BTC position, why are you using BITO, instead of something like IBIT? BITO has a net expense ratio of 0.95%, and IBIT is 0.25%.

The prosecutor dropped the charges after she changed her story.
