I have arrived safe and sound in my new home. It took 12 hours of driving to get here with the big U-Haul towing my car and my two cats in the cab of the truck with me yeowling almost constantly (with some exhausted sleeping for up to 10 minutes at a time.) I left at 12 midnight and arrived...

Thanks for your good wishes. I did get the job. The offer came this morning. The only thing that could go wrong is not passing the physical and I am not that worried about it. I have never heard of anyone not passing the physical. I have heard of them failing the drug screen but I don't use...

:clap::clap::clap: I was offered the job! :crosseo::crosseo::crosseo: Glory to God, the Lord of boundless bounty who has had mercy on me!

Thank you all for your prayers. Here is the latest: Today I was informed that the regional manager of psychological services has recommended me to the Director of psychological services (for the state) for the position. There is still a "background check" of which I know there will be a...

Thanks for the prayers. As it turned out the interview was for 2 positions at 2 different prisons but mostly for the initial one I applied for. (They said if not chosen for that one they would consider me for the other one.) It is both a great opportunity and a horrible opportunity with...

I have worked with many of the mods on the current list and they are very understanding and wonderfully objective. I myself decided not not ever return as a staffer to TAW. You have no idea how challenging it is and how badly staff are treated by members at times. I do agree that it is...

Hello, I have been unemployed and have had no source of income since the first week in October. Things are getting desperate because I have only had a food bank for food and a little money from my parish to survive on. I have not had hardly any job interviews and the few I have did not offer...

You need to discover the Orthodox Church. We are not so ethnic as you presume. Tons of people have converted. Many of us who converted had attended Baptist, Nazarene, Church of Christ, and a wide arrange of other denominations before finding the Eastern Orthodox Church. One thing about the...

Actually you bring up a great point. All of Christianity has Traditions with a capital T and with a small t. It is just that they are not called "Traditions" but they are there just the same. The belief in the Trinity, the belief in the Bible are Traditions of Christianity that we all share...

Mod Hat Post. Please do not personalize your posts towards other members. Stick to the topic and debate it without fussing about what you assume are other people's agenda's.

Just a reminder about the topic here. Let's stay on topic.

I once attended a Church for over three years before I discovered that they did not believe in the Trinity. They read from the Scriptures and sang praise and worship songs as well as having hour long sermons. But it wasn't until I left and had to ask later about the baptism I had there that I...
