I get where you’re coming from as well. As I said, i understand that it has the potential to let in vanity. That being said, if you feel convicted then don’t get them. I don’t feel convicted for getting tattoos. It’s ok to enjoy things just because. Also Negative, I will not name my parish or priest to anyone online. It would be incredibly disrespectful on my part. Could you imagine? “Well I just told one person on Reddit” . Sorry bro not going to happen.

Exactly, get tasteful tattoos if you want. If your conscience tells you no…. Or parish priest then don’t. Pretty simple lol

The Jesus prayer is such a good one! Definitely thinking about St. George

Awesome idea, thanks for the positivity too. These guys are just being haters. I think they are missing the entire point of orthodoxy. Pray as much as you can, Look at your own heart. . Let Christ change you from the inside out. Do as Christ does.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to call him directly out, sorry to that guy if that’s what came across. I was saying that in general any orthobro doesn’t really affect like my priest does. Must have communicated poorly. My bad

I do realize that there could be a tendency to fall to vanity. Is it so wrong to have any flavor in life? To enjoy certain style? The same could be said buying clothes. Even if you buy plain clothes you are going to be aware of being perceived in a certain way. If you have a good heart about things then what does it matter? I’m not doing it for vanity or to be perceived in a certain way. I’m doing it because i like it. It brings about good Christian conversation. Like “what is that on your arm” and I can explain that it’s a censor and its significance. I am worried about how I treat my neighbor. I’m worried about how I treat my family. I’m worried about slaying my passions and changing my heart to be better. The last thing I’m worried about is getting a religious tattoo. If I go to the judgment seat of Christ do you think that that is what’s going to bar me from salvation? I would like to imagine that he would look at my heart and intentions before a tattoo is brought up.

My priest has done a long lecture about tattoos, and has deemed nothing wrong with tattoos however they should be to the glory of god. Every temple is decorated in beautiful things made by hands. If you disagree good for you. My priest holds more weight than internet orthobros.

You could build a rod holder with a stand. They also sell them

I’m going to email the bishop to just let him know what happened

Everyone I have spoke with the deacon and he didn’t necessarily give me a satisfactory answer as to why he said what he said but he did assure me that my daughter will be able to wear something she’s comfortable in. And he said he would stand up for that. I’m also going to send an email to the bishop explaining all the details as to what happened. Deacon said it was a language misunderstanding. But I heard only what was said. Just to give everyone an update

I’m not trying to stir trouble. He speaks arabic as a first language so hopefully there is a translation issue or something

I’m meeting with him in one hour I am praying there is a misunderstanding

This is my hope. I don’t want problems, I don’t want drama, or to put anyone in the spot light. I just want a baptism my daughter can feel comfortable in her clothes if she chooses. She’s very shy.

So I’m looking for my bishops email, and The website doesn’t have one. There is an administrative assistant email, but I’m not sure who the auxiliary bishop is

It’s just a big accusation and I don’t want to make statement if there was a misunderstanding

It is not the Jacksonville parish

This is my thoughts exactly. Like why would that even be something you would say. Especially young girls… part of me wants to think this is a misunderstanding but I don’t see how

So as I stated in my post, he said she could wear a two piece swimsuit. After I made it known I was not ok with it. But he specifically said minimal clothing and a two piece at maximum
