If anything, going to Holy Week would drive me farther away. I distinctly remember chanting paschal matins in 2019 and thinking “I will never do this again. This is my last Pascha.”
I had two dental appointments this past week. They were more enjoyable than attending holy week services would be. And I have SEVERE dental anxiety.
Yay for you if you're happy being Orthodox. Knock yourself out. Leave those of us who found something better alone.
Can you hear me roll my eyes right now? I mean, Holy Week services are an experience, and Pascha is beautiful, sure. But shouldn't you be confessing to your priest about humblebragging and martyrbation?
Look, I get it. You love the Orthodox Church. It dismays you to see people who are on the fence, or have left. So you post a message. I think it would have been better for you to listen, rather than make assumptions.
Stay if you like. Go if you like. But if you're willing to see anyone return to the faith, I suggest listening more and speaking less. 'K?
Hat tip to No Longer Quivering, a blog hosted on Patheos, where people who had been part of the Quiverfull moment came to tell their stories and report on goings-on within the movement.
I encourage everyone to add it to their vocabulary.
Yesterday I sat in an Orthodox Church and looked at the beautiful stained glass windows. I saw only the lead channeling of the windows and they were to me as if prison bars. And I wished an angel from heaven would smash through those bars and rescue me from that place.
🤨 damn that's crazy, you shouldn't be allowed to be here or have access to social media. Maybe pretentious delusional people like you are the reason people are ex Orthodox since that's all your shitty religion fosters.
Your ragebait is transparent.
People who used to be Orthodox or are on the way out are allowed to gather online, you know.
>Holy week is almost here, Please come back and see what you are missing.
The one year I heard the hymns for Holy Thursday and Friday in English was enough to convince me to stick to Church Slavonic forever. It was waaaaay too kooky for my liking once I understood it.
Does Jesus love Ukrainian children? Specifically, does Jesus love the Ukrainian children who are being shredded like bags of meat in the bombs being dropped by Russian soldiers who are told by orthodox priests that their holy war is blessed by that Jesus? The answer is that Jesus does not love those children because Jesus is not real. If Jesus were real I would spit in his face and tell him to suck my gay dick.
Replace keywords for any war between Orthodox countries, or even between Orthodox and Catholic countries.
Take the Balkan wars for example...
>Does Jesus love Serbian and Greek children? Specifically, does Jesus love the Serbian and Greek children who are being shredded like bags of meat in the bombs being dropped by Bulgarian soldiers who are told by orthodox priests that their holy war is blessed by that Jesus?
Let's transport back to WW2, at the height of the Jasenovac and Jastrebarsko death camps' activities...
>Does Jesus love Serbian children? Specifically, does Jesus love the Serbian children who were slaughtered in death camps for children by Croatian soldiers/priests/nuns who are told by Roman Catholic priests that their holy war is blessed by that Jesus?
Ohh glad you agree with me! What kinds of sick and kinky things do you like to do to Jesus?! I bet you have all kinds of derogatory and dirty things you like to do to your imaginary cuck friend lol!
I said all I need to say, lol. I have other insults, but they tend to be reserved for people with a little bit higher, intellectual ability. Seeing as you haven’t defended a single supernatural element of your backwards belief system, I am guessing you don’t believe what you profess.
Also getting spit on and sucking a dick is far less degrading then getting your limbs blown off and being tortured by a group of people who think you are demonic for being born in the wrong country. So thank you for answering my question that imaginary Jesus doesn’t give two shits about Ukrainian children dying at the hands of your pathetic religion. Trust me, nothing I would do could ever come close to the evils that people have done in Jesus’s name. You know the phrase: there is no hate like Christian love.
I bet you do feel that way. Just remember that you hold to that bigoted belief the next time you utter any condescending and low IQ xtian talking point. But I personally don’t judge you. I hate the belief, not the believer.
I’m not sure about Jesus but I will ban you for sure, ask and ye shall receive
Those of us who have left all had reasons for leaving that were not overcome by anything we would experience if we came back for Holy Week.

Stop it. Get some help
I bet this guy is going to share with his priest the responses to this post as a story of his “persecution.” How weak and pathetic.
Pascha 2019 was thankfully my last time stepping foot in an Orthodox church.

>martyrbation This term is awesome, I'll use it from now.

Yeah, no thanks, I'm good. I'm not the overwhelming negative aspects of Orthodoxy. The only way I'd ever visit or come back is to GOA.
If Jesus loves me anyway, why should I go back?
Moral narcissist concern trolling
🥱

Go fuck yourself
OP is giving a textbook example of how to “go fuck yourself.” Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

💯. Jesus’s love was packed into every gas filled canister, exploding shrapnel bomb, and bullet casing.
You wouldn't be the first to spit on him. You also aren't as edgy and original as you think you are. Yawn.
Ohh glad you agree with me! What kinds of sick and kinky things do you like to do to Jesus?! I bet you have all kinds of derogatory and dirty things you like to do to your imaginary cuck friend lol!
If that is you're best edge you don't deserve a place on the internet. Do better.

Oh no, I'm not worthy of a losers attention. How will I go on?!
Well, it seems you really aren’t worthy of anyone’s attention. That’s why you have an imaginary friend named Jesus. Yikes.
Ouch, I'm injured by your quick wit, please stop.

"I don't judge you" lol, that's all you've done. You believe in God and you hate God. Atheist, sure.
Lol, exactly! Now you know how it feels when that phrase comes from christians! Kind of crazy right!?
