actually there ARE egyptian girls who not only don't care if u r circumcised (sorry i couldn't spell it earlier!) but they are not very interested. obviously i can't tell u more, but p.m. me in a few years and maybe i can sort u out ;) ok, better…

as someone who knows about surgery, i can confirm it's no more difficult to circumsize a 20-30 year old man than a 14 year old. actually to do it after teenage years gives a better cosmetic result. you should do it at least 2 months before marriage…

maybe it's easier to put on an act at school, but in church u r in front of God, so u r more 'yourself'. actually that's not so strange. in my work place i have to be very confident and tell people what to do (it's my job) but in church sometimes i …

that's v sweet of u. esp as i got it wrong! u r also v cool 8)

kyrie eleson is actually greek. je nai nan is coptic for the same thing. lots of 'coptic' stuff in church is actually greek! useful if u want to visit a greek orthodox church, u will understand nearly 10%! i think irhamna ya Allah should be Efiot n…

i would like to again advertise the orthodox study Bible, maybe it's not perfect, but i think it's the best so far that's readily available. i would also like to quote a great scholar we know on the subject of Bible study: (thanks, hezekiel for the …

may God guide you all and heal him. He is great and worthy of all praise and honour.

sorry, only saw this now. i pray God will continue to glorify His name and guide us with all wisdom.

i used to be shy as a kid, and i remember my teenage years were especially difficult because of this and i found it hard to make friends. but actually being shy is not such a big deal. it gets easier as u get older. i found that as a young adult, i …

ioannes, hang on in there, we all care and are praying for you. :) :) the other posts were so good and said what i would have said if i had had time to look at the computer. we all have spiritual battles and difficult days, i also had that sometim…

hi, can u send us the (hopefully legal!) link to the 99 cents version? i went to lots of sites offering to download the movie but they didn't work. i reckon my computer is holy and didn't want to break the law ;) seriously, though, i thought once …

the sound 'ayn' or '3ayn', which is also sometimes written as ' instead of 3. it is made by saying 'a' or 'e', whilst constricting the muscles at the back of the mouth. it sounds a little bit like the sound you make just before you vomit. i hope i …

correction to my correction! this year 31st oct is a sunday so all saints day is 31st. (according to catholic website is usually 1st, but depends on which day is a sunday).
-
errm... back to the thread (!) i need to make a small correction: all saints day in the catholic and anglican churches is on november 1st. the day before that is hallow(old english for saint) evening; shortened to 'hallow-een'. the pagans celebrate…

cultural note: in english speaking countries we translate 'habibi' as 'mate' or 'friend' or even 'dear friend / dear brother'. if we say 'dear' it usually means we are married to the person we are speaking to. when i first started learning arabic, …

found nothing on this website under arabic songs. could these poss be the lyrics in english? http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=1135 if so, you can search the web in english and then translate it and sing to that melody! ;)

when i was in school, i did an experiment that proved gravity was 3.8 :o i got the dunce prize and everyone laughed! :-[ glad there are people here who can help you better ;)

if she's not up to reading, take a nice-smelling flower (if it's allowed) or a spiritual picture. stay half an hour max, and only stay more if she really begs you. when people feel ill, they usually only want visitors for half an hour. it's better t…

hey, i am like you! lots of people find me funny coz i say silly things by mistake and then go red really quickly. but we don't just have 1 or 2 'talents' that define us. instead we often change as we get older, and we are sometimes good at some thi…

i'm not sure this is a very reliable source...

certainly we can ask, but there isn't a good answer yet. the anti-Christ might even be a system or government, not necessarily a person. many people who thought that they alone have worked out who the anti-Christ is have gone on to make crazy claim…

i have visited more than 30 or 40 british churches over the years and most slip in the idea of santa claus and don't explain that the guy at the north pole doesn't really exist. in my experience it does confuse children. when i was about 7 (having …

i agree with this excellent post from father peter: "With respect, I do not think that we need to worry about this at all. The problems we face are square in our face and have nothing to do with trying to interpret Revelation. This has never been …
-
we don't know who is the anti-Christ. no-one knows. as father peter said, the church fathers don't tell us who it is, so maybe he/she/it wasn't even born yet. lots of people waste time making internet videos to show who it is, and many of the so-cal…

thanks for yr ideas john s. sorry, there were some technical problems our end, so the streaming didn't go to plan. i can write down some of my notes if there is not a more official report available, but basically we had an introduction to some of th…

also (to continue form the last thread of yours where i posted), look outside yourself and help someone else. if you are not strong emotionally, do something physical, like walk the dog for an old person, tidy up books after church, help a parent or…
-
just saw the thread today, some seriously good advice here :) i would also add that it's good to talk to your father of confession to say, i have some problems forgiving someone and am feeling low, and most priests will give good spiritual advice …

u could tell him something personal, like how God helped you in an exam to be less stressed, or helped you to be nice to your irritating brother/sister, or something about why you know God exists and loves you. in romans chapters 1 to 5, saint paul …

try looking at these 2 links, each has further links to sermons etc which may help you. http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=9557.0 http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=7618.0 remember the best way to tell your frie…

i personally still think it's because not enough people know. if something is announced only once in church and it's a new thing, people tend to think 'i don't recognise this idea, maybe it's not for me'. i am often surprised when i don't understand…
