It DOES sound heavily edited ! I haven't heard that expression "New-Platina" but it does seem to fit.
Quite a sea change between then and - when ? - the going under the Serbian Patriarchate. Or before, maybe ?

Re: Unusual summer time fruits - dragon fruit, etc.
Hmm, too bad. I feel sorry for the tree. I suspect that fruit trees enjoy producing fruit to help humans ! I always go out of my way to lavishly compliment my pear tree, while wheedling my near-defunct apricot tree to snap back to life and produce crops like it used to, around St Vladimir's Day each...

Re: Icon corners - please post pictures
Yeah, I see what you mean. The menorah suddenly present with the rest does show how various objects can compete with Icons for a small space.

Re: An ex-Calvinist outsider strongly drawn to Palamism

Interesting examples above given by Maria faarther above, too.

Re: Unusual summer time fruits - dragon fruit, etc.
I don't think i have eaten ANY of these !
Inspiring to seek out.
So was the tree or the house cut down, Kostacc ?! I am asking for a very serious reason, not to make fun at all.

Re: Inquirer into True Orthodoxy-question
Those are good posts, everyone. Maria is right to not confuse him with The Name Worshippers - that's so complex for a new arrival to our midst. Wow, I didn't know, or remember, about Elder Paisios' asking his spiritual children for cigarettes. What ?? I want to read that article on the New Calendar ...
