    Most recent flop from Archbishop Elpidophoros

    I mean, everyone must have heard by now. For context, this was a statement representing the orthodox side (or supposed to represent!) on the March For Life in Washington.

    Hi there

    That’s a good idea, I’ll do it later. I was raised as a JW. Always pretty active, became ministerial servant as I became 18. My family was JW too, but thank God they have recently left it too.

    Hi there

    Hi there, people. My name is Max Carvalho, I'm an EO catechumen from Brazil and also an ex-Jehovah's Witness! I figured since I left the cult it would be nice to meet other Christians on the Internet and understand their views and join in fellowship if possible. Nice to be here!
