OrthodoxLearner,
Greetings! My advice to anyone interested in true Orthodoxy is to find
bishops and priests who stand for the truth without compromise. These
bishops and priests can be found in the ROAC without a doubt. They take
alot of flak from everyone, but after talking to them with an open mind
and heart you will see what I am talking about. After many years of
frustration in the confusing religious world in search of true
Christianity, I first crossed off all Protestantism as a contender due
to simple history. Its absolutely impossible for any Prostestant group
to be the true Church. That left Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism. I
recommend Hans Kung's book "The Catholic Church" to finally dispel
any doubts that they are not the true church {along with many other
reasons}. That leaves Orthodoxy. I believe all "world" Orthodox
churches can be struck off the list due to Ecumenism, Masonry,
Modernism, trampling the canons, etc.... I used to be with the GOA but
even as a convert I was struck with their similarity with the world
Protestants. A GOA priest that was never baptized by triple
immersion told me personally that Buddhists would make it to heaven!
Anyway, call Bishop Gregory or Fr. George at their monastery and
and you will be impressed by their love for the lost and their logic.
P.S. This is how we can combat the world: band together with true
Orthodox and never give in to the world's ways , i.e. "the little
things". Hope this helps!
