Why do so many have to whine and fret over how something is said or the tone in which it said. What a bunch of cry babies! Why not just present your point of view with your arguments and let everyone else do the same. Get your feelings off your shoulders! If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen! This is said in love.

I have no clue what this is about but I do think we should be concern with how we express our thoughts and views as we are all real people. We're all unique and have our life stories and experiences and we react sometimes differently and atleast we can try say things with some added thought too it.

I'm swedish so I'm sorry if my thoughts wont come through in this language but atleast I tried.

All the Best

joseph,

We definatly should say what we think about the issues, but we cannot (and there is no reason to) critique a person. Personal attacks are not allowed.

Petros,

You came across loud and clear, and I think we all agree.

Estimated in Christ Katya:

Forgive me if I offended you or I scandalized you, or to somebody I offended or I scandalized with my comment. That was not my intention

I know that there are many good people that work to change things and to straighten what is bent. You are surely one of those people. But it is a very difficult job to try to change to an entire Synod which thinks that is do correct thing, and that forget the correct way of the faith. Those that their same predecessors taught them. It cannot be that it has changed MP so quickly. and the EP etc etc, the one that seems that it has changed it is ROCOR. For example, when ROCOR defending the faith gave Hierarchy to the Old Calendarist of Greece, and not only gave them hierarchy but the communion. Now a bishop ROCOR said that they made the sin of helping to "schismatic" doing this. That is to say they call "schismatic" to the Genuine Church of Greece. Then now they defend to the Greek Church Ecumenist, new calendarist, etc and they are against the genuine orthodox christian of Greece.

It is not Christian to judge, me only tries to notice to help. As for this comment it is a drop in the immense sea.

Excuse me for my poor English

With Love in Christ

OOD:

Does it really matter to you or anyone else what my efforts really are? I do what I can within the limits of my abilities. I am but one small grain of sand in the sea of this confusion. While I hope my efforts will amount to something I can do no more than hope that God heeds my efforts. If more people banded together maybe something stronger could be done. But then what do you care? You are not part of ROCOR and you have already condemned me and others like me for staying with ROCOR. All I get so far is you and George and others critizing me for my hopes and my prayers for something you have already condemned as worthless.

Any way I think I'm going to stop posting til after Easter. I need to concentrate on that for a while. I find that I am not profiting from being here.

Dear Ekaterina:

Who has condemned you? I do not believe that somebody has condemned you. Why do you think this thing?

With love in Christ

Forgive me Father,
But if you condemn my church as having "fallen" away and in error, then you are also condemning me as a member of that Church.
