Can't remember his name. An Atheist guy who used to come here a little while ago.:)

Why's it a heresy when it appeared to be the view of the early church?

I understand why people would think it was wrong, but there seems to be a lot of good that comes with it as well. http://sexuality.about.com/od/masturbation/p/masturbation_fx.htm (not sure about the first two paragraphs but the rest of them are good).

Sometimes I go through certain phases where I've had enough of the idea of religion and could easily go to Internet Infidels and convince myself of Atheism or something like that, but for some reason I never go there, and I let the feeling pass and just go back to my Christian ways (which, don't...

Lately I've had a real bee in my bonnet about being gay and how the church condemns it and stuff, but the truth is, I don't really know why, because I'm not really ready to label myself as gay anyway (excuse my terminology Rusmeister and other people, it's just the easiest way to explain it). I...

I feel a little bit of an update's in order. Well, yeah, I've been a little lazy lately and it's not good. I've been rather preoccupied with other stuff, like songwriting, and always trying and usually failing to become more social at high-school (having no friends gets one down after a while...

I searched the memberlist and he must have changed his name? The poster formerly known as "repentant". I believe his title was "Debunking heretics since 33AD". Don't know why but I'm just curious.

A lot of the older (2007) crowd seems to have died off, and all people are talking about is politics. :|

I feel like I'm rehashing old questions I used to ask since late 2006. :D Anyway, quite frankly I'm not a fan of the idea, at least not the literal idea, which I'd like to think is a rather new invention. I've yet to actually read the "River of Fire" thing, but are there any other accepted...

What are y'all opinions on online "ex-gay" ministries? I doubt most of you would have personal experience with them since you're all straight (lucky), but maybe perhaps some of you have done some research or have known someone who has taken up some program? By the way, yes, I am going to chat...

Saturday, 26th April 2008, 9:00am, I finally went to a liturgy. It served communion and everything. It was a good day. My legs got sore from standing, but hey, whatever. :D It was one of the Easter ones (not sure which). It was also nice to see a monk there that I was wanting to speak to again...

So there's no baby for the moment. However, they're going to try for another one seeing as we all got so excited about the first. My Mum didn't get properly checked or anything, but she said there was a lot of blood, so she thinks so. Also, Bushmaster and others, my Mother and her boyfriend are...

I thought this thread may have been too 'controversial' for the main TAW. So anyway, I know that it's encouraged in Orthodoxy. I want to stop. I have for ages. It never lasts. Longest I stopped was for a month...Also, my other trouble is that it's fellow males who I touch for. I don't want...

We all found out a couple of days ago. She's 2 months along already, due in November. I'm really excited. I'm glad I'll be there when he (I have a hunch it will be a boy) is born, but a couple of months later I'll probably be off to Wellington (New Zealand capital city) to study music at...

First of all, I've had a great weekend. It was the annual Church of Christ camp where I live (well, not really a camp, since nobody stayed in tents), but we had two great speakers come. For the first time in ages, I felt like I was proud of my Christian heritage. Did I mention the speakers were...

Life's pretty good right now. I passed an assignment pretty good (my determined effort to use the computer less has helped immensely), and so I thought I'd pop back for a moment. I don't wanna get addicted to CF like before though, so I'll probably check back in about a few days maybe to see...

My life's been pretty off-track lately. Not only with Orthodox-related things but with school and other stuff too. I spend too much time on the computer. It's doing more harm than good. Orthosdoxa, I've still got those books and stuff you sent me so I can get my Orthodox fix from those. I'm not...

Does anyone here like them? Um, well I'm only 16, and I seem far too young for them, but I've really developed a taste for their music. A lot of people say that they're amateurish, but music doesn't have to technical to be good. :D Yeah, I like their music and am thinking of one day buying...

I've never actually had an Orthodox perspective on Judas, about his salvation, and whether he would ultimately be rewarded for the role he played in man's salvation.
