[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9217.msg114278#msg114278 date=1273501170] No I don't, but I am thinking I will send HG Bishop Angaelos a copy first. Father Peter [/quote] That's a good idea. Pass it by H.G, but we are definitely lacking a…

Here's a few ideas on how to keep yourself entertained: How about travelling, or asking abouna to see when he plans a trip with the youth? Why not go and spend sometime in a monastery!? Or, take up a hobby like fishing, or learning a new language?…

Thanks everyone, You've all supported my ideas. What then of the Christian Zionists? I am sure you must all be familiar with them?! Its quite funny that protestants criticise us over worshipping idols (icons), saints, Saint Mary, the Holy Communi…

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=9177.msg113951#msg113951 date=1272640763] Theologically, Jews have no rights to the land. God gave it to them, however many years ago. You won't find anything theologically speaking about rights to land. All of the …

Thanks, But theologically speaking what is our position as a Church. I'm not interested in the political side of this, nor is this an invitation for a debate. This question merely is addressing the theological differences between us and protestant C…

Good luck bro! If you have an iPod, or iPhone, just put it on repeat, and listen to it over and over and over and over and over again.

Hi ChildofOrthodoxy, I'm glad you think it is best for this person to be long suffering - that's good for anyone, but - for me, my advice is based on thing alone: FRIENDSHIP. Friendship is the love of commonality. Does this person also lie? Is ly…

Well, personally speaking, I was being dead serious: if that happened to me in Saudi Arabia, I'd be on the 1st plane out of the country. Otherwise, this person is definately over-doing it. The only thing that makes sense is that they are living in S…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9146.msg113688#msg113688 date=1272043433] It's not a friendship. Friends do not carry out these deceptions. If the person does not want to get help, then that is their business. If you do not want to walk a…
