Does the Church follow the Western calendar for Lent every year?

well, it was nothing short of a miracle! At the physical exam 3wks ago, the doctor felt tumors. At today's ultrasound, they found nothing. The tech did the exam and, then she had the doctor double check it. They found nothing! The good news, that rules out cancer, but we're back to square...

I LOVE Pandora. I usually have it running all day long, in the background.

My ultrasound is this afternoon!

BTW, I found rainbowbright's thread on page 2. I didn't think it was "zapped".

bumping this, just to prove it wasn't "zapped"

In a sense, you are correct. Usually, threads get moved or deleted after there's been a report. The thread about blessings had a problem with an obvious troll. However, it could have been cleaned up and reopened. I didn't even know it was deleted. Are you sure it was and not back on page 3 or 4?

as far as I can tell, no. There are some things that are required to be yanked, such as suicide topics, trolling stuff like inappropriate content or other filth, talk of illegal activity like drug use.

they don't moderate for theological content, just rules. One doesn't have to be Orthodox to recognize when a post is overly rude, a flame or a troll.

Thank you! St Andrew of Crete.

prayers for you and your wife, Clem!

That is a great idea! Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to get a confession in :D The symptoms that are accompanying this have prevented me to going to church on a regular basis. I'm sure he'd feel better knowing there was a reason instead of thinking I was just "ditching class".

My given name is Andrea. Thanks for the prayers!

This is going to be a hard week, filled with doctor visits. My doctor felt multiple tumors in my uterus and this week, I'll be doing a ton of tests to find out what exactly they are and what kind of treatment will be needed. It's most likely that I'll be having a hysterectomy. Please keep me...

Here's one of the articles that got me started http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/reading/ortho_cath.html

The Libertarian Party hasn't chosen their candidate yet, so I'm not sure.

There are quite a few of us here that were raised Catholic. To join the Orthodox Church, you will be chrismated. The service for a Catholic is a little bit shorter than for a Protestant, though. I heard a few in my parish say mine was the shortest they had ever seen. Before christmation, you...

At the national level, there are no Liberatarian elected officials. However, there are Liberatarians in state and local offices all across the country. http://chelm.freeyellow.com/libsusa.html He turned his back on his party. The American people will not truly have voting options until Third...

If you truly believe yourself to be a Libertarian, don't fall for this Republican. You need to get behind the Libertarian Party and support the true Libertarian candidate. Right now, there are 3 possible men running for the Libertarian nomination. Some of us have been fighting the good fight...
