I have acctualy never meet any unpleasant Serb, they all seems to be so polite.
I'm sure they are welcoming ones too... I've visted one in Sweden and was stared at, and not in a curious, who are you way. People kept walking by and staring but when I said hello or just nodding as a greeting I never got an answer. I've heard a few of my friends say the same thing about other parishes but I'm sure we hit the bad apples possibly.

I apologize in their name... What a bunch... Way you describe them they look more like some secret cult then loving brothers and sisters... Sorry for such bad experience.

I've been yo one Orthodox Church like this (not Serbian), but I don't think it had anything to do with rudeness or anything like that, but just that they weren't used to visitors, and honestly didn't know how to react. Their website, liturgy, and all of the chat I heard was in their own language. For the moment I had to speak with their priest, he was very friendly. I think if I made it a habit of showing up regularly, the most introverted of parishioners there would have opened up. I was painfully shy growing up, and people always attributed my uncommunicativeness to rudeness.

Oh and I want to apology for the times when I have semi-flamed our Radical Moslem friend here at your forum. I have noticed my own aggressiveness and when I am fully responsible for my actions, it should be noticed that I am exposed to evil occultist magic every time I go to school, they have "magical" crystals, pentagrams in the classrooms, the detention room is pyramid shaped and there is an relief depicting Jupiter, we do occult dances ("eurhythmics") at some lessons (I often skip those) and so on. This may affect my personality, if it works.

Anyway, I'm sorry for any hateful comments here. I promise I will try to improve my posting style. :)

Don't worry, your posts have been more amusing than anything. Radical, huh? I wouldn't know about that. I might be more pro-jihad than most, but I'm not one of those who wants to see the Western world go down in flames.

Have you any experience of this church? As Khaleas states they are eeeeeeeeeextremely Liberal. Its Christianitry withou Theism. The current archbishop believes that Joseph where Jesus father!!! (monophysite heresy!) Even the JW bible is probably more accurate s their bible is translated and approved by the former Socialist gowernment (or should I say soviet?) of Sweden.


Would that be the 2000 edition? That's the one I have currently, should I throw it to *beeep* and get a better one?
