Mykael,
If you came to this forum for anything "spirtitually profitable", you have wasted your time; in an earlier time, maybe.
I check back from time to time; same garbage I heard six months ago. Just a bunch of schismatic, power hungry, childish, one-trick pony morons.
They quote the canons as if they were Latins.

Exactly. They want a Pope so bad that they will follow anyone who will tell them what to do. THINKING, they believe, is just so "of this world"

They say that I am bad news. They say "Stay Away."

Let me attack people to show how bad attacking is ... ???
Thank you paleocon for showing us exactly what sometimes happens here where people find it easier to just attack people instead of living up to the Christian ideal and apologizing for our own failures and explaining things with love. It is not easy being a Christian and living up to the standards set for us, sometimes we all slip into a prideful defense where we want to be offensive and personally attack anyone that does not agree with us completely. This is sad and sadly has happened here too often of late.
While this type of behavior usually happens here and in the misc. section, I would disagree that there is nothing spiritually of profit. If one will read through the praxis prayer & tradition sections of this forum, one can learn a lot that will help them on the path to theosis.
Without the Rudder, a ship will veer off into danger and be destroted. However, some, including myself may have been guilty of trying to use the Rudder as a weapon or the motor, and for that I apologize. But using the canons like a Latin? Have we changed them many times over the year like the Latins? I think not. I find that attack to be unfitting.
