Yes, this thread -- is going nowhere.


P.S. I keep getting the following message with every thread I post. It's annoying to say the least, due to the grammatical errors it contains.

A place for Orthodox prayer, study, repentance, and theosis.

What about this one?

Some people don't know how to pray properly. Lord give me this. Lord give me that.
Study doesn't always lead to God. However repentance and theosis are needed to enter into the Kingdom of God. We must repent and put on Christ.

So what about:

A place for Orthodox prayer, study, kenosis, repentance, and theosis.

Or is this too much Greek for the average person to handle. Kind of adds a bit of mystery.

C'mon!! We can do it!! We can make this decision!! Do I need to go get my pom-poms to cheer us on?

This is typical of the Orthodox. It usually takes us a couple hundred years (or more) to decide anything so this should be no different. We should take our time, lest we fall into error.

Love,
Suzannah

I like it too.

Nothing I thought up was really anything but spin-offs of what I already voted for.

Yes yes...we wouldn't want to rush into anything on such a weighty matter. Kind of like my un-decision to wait for 10-15 years then decide definitely if I will ever see The Passion or not.
However, we must remind ourselves that the descriptive title "A place for permanent threads" is not as accurate as it needs to be, and therefore may be capable of causing some poor person undue stress...or even worse, because of the vagueness of the description, maybe some person is being deprived of further spiritual study and reading because of our negligence and stubborness. That is something that I have no interest in being charged with. Therefore, I ask my brothers and sisters to re-consider and decide for certain what our descriptive title will become. To leave it as it is for much longer...well....IS OUTRAGE!!
