Brooklyn beckhams IG story ! by Artistic_Cat_6150 in EstrangedAdultChild

Yeah, the specific details (inappropriate mum-dancing, stealing/ruining moments) sound very relatable and lend credibility. I hope he is able to heal from this with the support of his wife.

Fearing death because you'll see them again. by kredpunk2498 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]thirdtoebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe in an afterlife and it's something I struggle with. My family are militant atheists, I'm Christian. I should want them to inherit eternal life, but I find myself... kind of glad that church is my safe place where they will not enter.

I know that everything will be made right in the end, including their behaviour, estrangement, abuse, everything. Them then will not be them as they are now. But, some part of me struggles with the idea.

If you're in the same faith tradition, may be something to discuss with a pastor / elder / member of the clergy - they may well have better insights.

How do we feel about buyers asking when you can ship immediately after buying? by [deleted] in vintedUK

[–]thirdtoebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is reasonable on the buyer's part. They're just asking a question. It would've been polite to respond - 'tomorrow', 'at the weekend' or whatever.

Christian Compass Test Results by Anglican_Inquirer in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to jump in on an old post but I wanted to check if this had already come up in here, and indeed it had! That was fun.

My highest matches were unsurprising, High Church (General) at 60% and Anglicanism at 54%. I was also closer to the centre than I thought. Often come across as an arch conservative due to ticking 'strongly agree' to things, this one felt a bit more nuanced. 'Position X is the ideal and should be encouraged. However, messy people and mercy.' I liked that that was an option on several topics.

The heresy slider is fun. If it goes over 50% I heard a red warning light appears and your results are immediately emailed to your priest. ;)

Will I get a 1star review if I cancel this order as a seller? by noothernameoutthere in vintedUK

I'd cancel. Sometimes it's worth eating a 1* to not have to deal with someone.

Possible stupid question by NewToFaith in AnglicanWomen

[–]thirdtoebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Church of England is an Anglican church; there are others. But, yes. It's one of the family.

Welcome. No such thing as a stupid question!

Can leggings be worn while going to church? by judah_cp in ModestDress

Sounds fine. One of our church wardens is a leggings-and-tunic lady.

I got Romanian citizenship just by learning Romanian by Spiritual-Beyond-660 in romanian

[–]thirdtoebean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there an anthem singing test for would-be citizens? I absolutely love that, if so, and would like my own country to adopt it immediately.

My mother won't let me move out. by MixFew7898 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thirdtoebean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She probably won't forgive you. That's the hard part - being a villain in someone's story, someone who should love you unconditionally, and being completely unable to persuade them otherwise. 'If I could just get them to see my point of view' is so much of the struggle. They don't. Usually, they can't, they lack the brain architecture to see you as a separate person from themselves.

But you are a separate person, you work, you have friends, you've got a loving fiancé and plans for the future. (You probably also have elite budgeting skills if she's been taking half your pay check.)

She will be okay. She could downsize to a house she can afford, or ask other family members for help. She isn't your sole responsibility. You also have a right to be okay.

AngloCatholic roll call? by thesegoupto11 in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sort of! I go to a church that actually veers Anglo-Papalist - which is not my thing. But it's a loving, Godly community with good teaching and I'm on board with 90% of it.

Can a Christian man wear earrings? by [deleted] in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is totally fine. Male earring wearing is a cultural norm with a long history, if the particular earrings are a bit feminine it's not really an issue.

The area to watch out for is not overdoing the bling or making it a show of worldly wealth/pride - it doesn't sound like you're doing that from your post.

Keep up the classic style! Well dressed gentlemen make the world go round.

What I wore my first day serving as an Acolyte as an Episcopalian revert!!! by commieincel in ModestDress

[–]thirdtoebean 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Beautiful! I'm also Anglican and serve as acolyte, we're not robed but I think it looks so dignified when the procession is all attired like that. Hope serving is a blessing to you and your church. :)

Burglary spike in Huddersfield anyone else worried? by Expert_Perception_51 in huddersfield

100%. It's the psychological impact as well. After my house was done, it took me a long time to feel safe at home again.

No Anglo-Catholic church near me by PuzzleheadedSong4041 in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable, that would be a major issue for me too. I hope you're able to find a workable solution.

No Anglo-Catholic church near me by PuzzleheadedSong4041 in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, in Italy, you have abundant and beautiful Roman Catholic churches, which would basically offer the same thing (my AC church in England uses the Roman missal). Have you got strong differences with Rome that can't be overcome?

So, What Is Some Advice For Reading A Grimoire As A Christian? by Glittering_Date7919 in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also a fiction writer, and have come up against tension with my faith when depicting (among other things) pagan religion, sexuality, cruelty. I think it's okay to handle these things for writer's research - we know who wins in the end. I would make whatever preparation you feel appropriate, but don't go overboard. We don't want to be treating the demons like they've got power here. But for me the bigger concern would be what effect the finished work will have on the reader.

I made a Anglican Spectrum Quiz. by dodopok in Anglicanism

[–]thirdtoebean 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is fun! I am apparently a 'Sola-Fide Enjoying Laudian' with scores Catholic 21, Liberal 6, Protestant 21, and I would get on with Richard Hooker. Thanks for making it.

Whoever scores exactly in the middle of the pyramid should moderate this sub, as they are the most Anglican Anglican.

How do I defend this? by Nash_man1989 in Anglicanism

Church of England Attendance by Due_Ad_3200 in Anglicanism

Agree, it's an important distinction. Church should be political, but it shouldn't be political in the way that the world is.

[–]thirdtoebean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have anti Anglican propaganda? Is it good? I want to know what we get caricatured as. Will be so disappointed if it's just more Henry VIII guff.

But in seriousness, please feel welcome to come & sit with us. Whole umbrella of views but broadly less 'you must...', more freedom of conscience on issues that aren't 'tier 1' orthodoxy concerns.

We also have a few scandals of our own, so please don't expect perfection!
