Hey guys... so I don't seem (or I guees "Feel") too disingenuous, I will most likely stop by from time to time to read something or more likely just to see how some of you are doing. But I won't be commenting. That's where I get myself into trouble, wasting my time in what I believe FOR ME has...

Yes... the dramatic "Leaving" thread... LOL But I assure you there is no CF drama behind this thread. But it is for real. It's been really fun and informative (seriously) but I find myself wasting too much time here and using CF as an excuse to avoid or at least put off (less exciting)...

I love king of Queens. One line I love and that so well exemplifies the show's humor is: Carrie: “Hey whatcha doin babe?” Doug: “Nothin, just putting two packets of icing on one Toaster Strudel…Happy Now, Sad Later” My wife and I laughed at that one so much...

Are you typing all of these from memory? Also... as much as I like Kramer, I can probably only take about two more days of seeing that animation in your sig. lol

Right, and "hash those out" does not necessarily have to mean saying one is wrong. It might. It might not. But we need to respect the fact that there are fundamental differences in perspective and between the two and respect the boundaries that lie between the two approaches (I didn't say...

I can see your point and I do get what you mean by pop psychology. Also, I looked up the word in the dictionary just now and realized that it can be understood in slightly different ways (nuances that can make a world of difference). I suppose my understanding of dichotomy is highlighted best...

This.

But the dichotomy doesn't have to create two separate rooms. Are we suggesting that all differences East and West are of no import for understanding?

gasp-- If there is, that's a who different problem... of moral and soul-destroying proportions.

hmmm... you admitted something in there... but I'm not sure what exactly that is,.... lol ;)

Also, learn a little bit about your local water. Places rate the water and I have found municipalities often to be brutally honest about their water safety (I can't swear that such is the norm, though). Because, in a lot of places, the water is just fine for people with normal immunity. I...

That's an awesome story. I've heard of this happening throughout the history of the Church will men will be "tricked" into becoming priests, bishops, etc. Also, I have heard much the same said about His Holiness. Sounds like an amazing man of God. I assume some of his books are translated...

Congratulations, Spiritual Muse. As for others who take a slower course, I think that can be really good. I have seen many people take the plunge quickly even without some major concerns dealt with. For some tht has worked out great. For others it can be bad.

No one (Orthodox) here is disputing that fact. At least I haven't seen anyone come close to that here.

No one said or even implied otherwise. It contributes to healing. It is an essntial part of theosis... but it is not the only part. No, but friendly and loving is. That too. I am quite sure the Church down the road has that. The poster never mentioned or implied that she would just not be...

I don't know her parish... but if it is as she ays it is where the community never really accepts you and everyone is more concerned with worldly success and such then, yes, it is very possible that the Orthodox Church down the road is a more spiritually healthy place to be. The point IS that...

There is a strong correlation in the US between tooth decay and lack of flouride. But, I would say more importantly thatn flouride is working to dispell the myth that little kids need juice or that juice is really that healthy. If we add vitamin C and other nutrients to sodas (which they can...

Yeah, I can't say I like Eastern European food all that much... except for their sausages and I say that reservation because I am sure that there are bizarre versions of sausage... they probably pickle it. (pickled watermelon... that's a new one). Well, to each his own!

I'm sure the poster would agree with you.... if she didn't have a spiritually healthier option down the road.

I'd like to hear more about your guys' thoughts and feelings for him. Always knew of him, but not much about him.
