Why are all topics concerning recent OCA episodes being locked?

[Kristos]

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's step back here a second. Are we talking gin martinis or vodka martinis? I was thinking gin. This has the potential to derail our scheme. Maybe we never will resolve this whole OCA thing...

gin? Is outrage!!!

 

[cobweb]

I'm not exactly anonymous either. I am cobweb everywhere and the majority of y'all are on my Facebook.... so it isn't like my real name is a secret.

Not trying to start an argument here but how do you know there is no one on this forum directly involved in the OCA administration? You don't. Nobody does. Not to mention, most of us here post anonymously for safety reasons, among other reasons.

Well, the consequence of posting anonymously is nobody knows who you are, right? You can't expect to have your real life reputation in an anonymous environment. The OCA website doesn't list a "musicluvr83" anywhere.

Furthermore, the OCA isn't a big church. I would bet a lot of us who live in the Northeast, or have lived there recently, know somebody, or possibly several somebodies, who work in Syosset or are otherwise involved in the administration.

People from here know me IRL and also Facebook.

I'm surprised though, I started a thread in the St. Justin Martyr section that is dedicated to debate on the OCA issues, but only one person has posted.

That's wonderful news!

I'm kinda late, but what's happening with the OCA?

just regular church politics blown out of proportion.

And writing letters to one's bishop is a good idea.

I f they are posting anonymously than their word here is as important (or rather, un important) as anyone else's here. To say, "just trust me, I know" in an anonymous forum is an absurdity in and of itself.

Keep Philothei away from my beer fridge and cold cellar full of liquid bread!

I call it "dinner" sometimes.

Shouldn't we be having ouzo?

Ouzo is for The Taverna.

Since it is the OCA... vodka is probably mroe appropriate.

I have a bottle of REALLY good Bulgarian brandy that was given to me by a priest friend of mine!

 

[choirfiend]

We have some vodka filtered with milk that our friend brought back from Kazakhstan...It's amazing!

 

[musicluvr83]

Except for me. I am pretty open about who I am.

lol

After posting here for a while, most ppl arent anonymous. Orthodoxy is small, I imagine lots of us here know who you are and why you always agree with ArmyMatt.

Uh. Yeah. Sure. Like ArmyMatt is the only one I "always agree" with - not true in the least. Plenty of others on here I "always agree" with as well and have commented as such.

 

[Michael G]

lol

The night before the consecration of His Grace, Bishop MELCHISEDEK I was introduced by Nikolai to Jesse (Jckstraw) who also had a few friends with him. One of those friends was RedPhoenix who when she met me said to me "you are THE Michael the Iconographer?" (with a huge emphasis on "the"). I laughed and said yes.

I'm confused - are you saying that you have multiple socks or that you are a polygamist?

 

[gzt]

Perhaps she's just very agreeable.
