You make a great point and I stand humbly corrected. Still, just as it's hard to know who's a Christian, who's not, etc, it's also hard to know who is truly mentally ill and in need of prayer and who is trolling. Tough call and I'm glad I don't have to be the one to make it ---- in this case...

We should be begging for HER prayers. ;) Nonetheless, I do praise God for this newly illumined! Glory to God! Ask her to pray for all of us okay???

Well...that was edifying and helpful. This post is proof that Christians can be just as sinful, irrational and cold-hearted as the rest of the world. What else would you like to prove?

Hi Julina, If praying separately isn't helping either one of you right now, I do not see what "praying together" might accomplish, other than trying to "out humble" each other as a form of spiritual one-upman ship.. Additionally, I don't want it to be your friend who has to say this to you so...

Justin, On a serious note: you, as a modern young person, who lives in the lap of luxury in the west, enjoys this luxury of "choice" (to wear women's clothing/cross dress. This has nothing to do with sexuality. Many "straight" men engage in cross-dressing.) Consider yourself lucky, that you...

OH I don't know....I think most Orthodox men would look just fabulous in skirts and dresses. The only problem is how to age gracefully.....Like this:

Dear Sister, I understand your struggle. Realize that it may very well be that not all of these thoughts are your own and have been planted in your mind, and especially your dreams, for the purpose of deterring you from faith. I am not saying that your doubts are not real. I am saying that...

God bless you for posting this. A very timely reminder. It's time for the EO to wake up, pray for their brethren in Turkey and stop pretending it's not their problem because they are not under the EP, or firmly entrenched behind Moscow's claim to the seat of primacy. If the EP is assaulted by...

Interesting. I am a European and I completely disagree with you. Although I am not a Franky-fan, I can appreciate his point of view. And I love him as my brother in Christ, although I think he is off-centre on his presentation.

Allright so you now have at least six Orthodox women praying for you (and at least 1 Orthodox man judging by this thread) ...GO TO HOSPITAL! There were hospitals in 19th century Russia you know...very good ones, too! LOL Go call 911...please? Love to you, R.

Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy!!!!! :crosseo: I am praying for you....if you are still on line, what the heck are you doing here??? Get on the phone to 911 and go to hospital....(I'm not trying to be unkind, just practical...God bless you dearheart...what in the world are you8 are...

Several years ago, I attended the funeral of a relative. He was, quite frankly, a "no-good" who beat his wives (all eight of them) , lied to them every chance he got, beat the children (drunk AND sober, made no difference to him, he enjoyed it all the same---only one went on to lead a "normal"...

Hello again! I just wanted to mention that on a whim, I went to my bookshelf and pulled down the book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future." Inside, on the frontispiece is a notation about the icon on the cover. It says: "The triumph of the Archangel Michael over the antichrist, who is...

I think this is the one you are looking for. It's Russian. You can order it on this page: http://www.skete.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=888&Category_ID=48&CFID=34632419&CFTOKEN=38053017 I don't know the answer to your other question but it sure is interesting! I...

My situation is a bit complicated and fraught with gossip. So I don't want to go into great detail. Please pray for me: I was attending a Greek parish and was very happy there, until some odd things happened and some things were said about someone else whom I love and respect. Please pray...

Hello! Glory to God and thank you for all your hard work. I appreciate your offer of friendship! Gratefully accepted... God bless you. R.

Dear brother in Christ, I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. I will pray for you at Church today and light a candle for you. I know that it hurts to think "is this all there is"???? I have had similar thoughts many times and I suffer from depression also. All these things happen to us...

I also wanted to share with you nicknika that we have beautiful temples here in America too! Here is the cathedral where I was baptized: http://www.westsrbdio.org/info/images/church_alhambra.jpg And this is the inside : http://www.westsrbdio.org/Bishop/pictures/Saint_Stevens_Cathedral2.gif...

Hello nicknika!!! I live in California near the ocean. I was baptised in the Serbian church but I moved to another city, and so now I go to an "OCA" church. OCA means Orthodox Church in America. It has many Americans who converted to Orthodoxy in it, and it comes from the Russian Orthodox...

Dearheart, God bless you...now you listen to an old bat like me (if anyone doubts my "youthful" age, make something of it! LOL) : sometimes we have something comforting to say: Please do not be sad: she attacked you today (out of ignorance, fear and misunderstanding) and you defended...
