Re: Russian Orthodox demand that Apple change its logo

Jonathan is serious, right ? Or mocking ? I couldn't tell. I had neighbors who seemed friendly and invited me in to chat. Over the conversation, a word was conspicously dropped about Masons. I chose to question them as to whether i had heard that correctly. Oh Yes, they assured me, and the husband w...

Re: Vegan Diet And the Teachings in Holy Scriptures

To back to Maria's post on this page about her friend -
that was obscure about the "a brother" - is that a monk ?
Or someone's brother?
I am not clear.
It sounds useful.
I am totally anti-alcohol myself, by the way. No way, no shape,nor form !

Re: Elder Isidore - Salt of the Earth

Thank you, Joasia, for the suggestion ! I in fact looked at my copy today, sitting facing me as I jumped in the car. Time to pick it up and READ it. Yes, then we can discuss it. I know i was hesitating all these years because of what Jonathan mentioned, which is true. But your description makes him ...

Re: Russian Orthodox demand that Apple change its logo

Still, it;s really a good goal to be able to raise such fruits and vegetables oneself. I think it is time to learn many things such as farming on a small scale, raising plants for health, and a lot of basic skills which could help in the future if things do unravel somehow, as so many predictions me...

Re: Bishop Akakije's Words

Very exciting news ! It IS amazing that the American new nun would be able to survive over there in so many difficulties all these 3 years and then resolve to be tonsured. I only read half of that sermon, as I want to concentrate perfectly ; it's too late at night. The part I didn't exactly grasp fr...

Re: Elder Isidore - Salt of the Earth

How funny to find this book mentioned ! For I have been carrying it around in my car ever since i can remember, thinking I will read it when waiting for appointment or something like that. I never have been able to really pick it up and launch into a concerted reading of this. I love the title, Salt...

Re: Vegan Diet And the Teachings in Holy Scriptures

Great riposte, Joasia. I was trying to think of how to counter that, but you covered it well. Personally, I get sick even at the mention or sight of meat. I haven't eaten any since I was at university. Even then I was never thrilled with it, and probably ate little relatively. Peanut butter sounded ...
