Oh my goodness...I don't know how I missed that you were new, Dicran, but I did! Welcome! I hope you find Christian Forums to be edifying, and I look forward to what you can teach us all about Armenia's rich Christian traditions. Even though I am Coptic Orthodox (so we are family, you and I :)), Armenians are the one people who I have not yet worshiped with, because my local community did not have any, so I am always curious about what you guys do, why you do it the way that you do it, and things like that.

Anyway, again welcome! May God bless you, strengthen you, and guide you in everything.

Dzheremi ~ You seem ~ it seems weird ~ your using the Word Weird ~ in combination with ~ Armenian practice or belief ~ perhaps you mis typed or mistook ```
If you are without understanding ~ it's quite alright to ask for empty to be filled or lack of knowledge educated ~ if you are Orthodox ~ if that is your faith ~ it is rude and unkind to speak of brothers or sisters as if they are missing truth or holding foolish thinking ~ well that is ~ unless you feel yourself the Spark plug of Christian Faith ~ intending to pick a fight ```

If I misunderstand or have the wrong impression of your meaning or intention ~ please forgive my jumping out of my tree ~ I'll have another look at your post ~ to see if a friendly meaning can be found ```

Yes, I respect the Coptic Church and People ~ and hurt with them the trouble they are having in the mid East ```

Yes ~ we worship together ~ our Churches and practice so alike ```

Forgive my post ~ above ~ if it show my lack or getting the point ```

We will talk much closer ~ I'm sure ```

As far as telling all about ~ Armenian Culture ~ I'm not ~ don't pretend to know everything about anything ~ I'm just an Armenian Orthodox Christian ~ a deacon ~ I've come this far in life ~ Thanks to the Father ```

Thank you for the welcome ~ I accept ~ I have wanted ~ needed the fellowship of Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters ~ it would be very nice ~ if that is what I've found here ```

God bless you Dzheremi as well and all who love you ```

At first I intended to change my writing so it would be longer in finding me out ~ but it was too confining ~ so ```

I am at the lower ranch ~ I've a " Valve Body " to clean in a Chevy Van today ~ that takes more time on a van because ~ the dog house covering the engine has ~ first to be removed ~ can't put it off much longer ```

What is up with your awful use of the ~ symbol. For the love of all that is holy, cease and desist ASAP for the sake of the retinas of all in here! I'm going to look like Master Po on Kung Fu if I look at much more of this!

It's %%% an interesting %%% idea %%% to say the least %%% to separate %%% words %%% with unnecessarily annoying words %%%, however, %%% I think %%% I'll refrain %%% myself.

Those are there ~ to weed out ~ the unworthy ~ and these are here to ~ gather in the faithful ```

At least it's not a wall of pasted TEXT in alternating colors with lots of CAPS and bolding of various words for no apparent reason ...



:D





That actually takes a lot of time to do and is annoying to prepare ... now I really wonder why people do it!
