Get to learning it its amazing.

Here is a little story from the desert fathers i think:

There was this group of monks who always prayed tasbha together and one of them had the wrost off tune voice any of them had ever heard, so one day he couldnt make it to tasbeha and they. Were all so so happy that they could pray without his voice. After they finished tasbha an angel appeared to th abbot And said why havent u done a tasbha today? The abbot responded saying we did all our voices were loud and beautiful! He said no, you didnt bec God didnt hear the monk that always sings from his heart![/quote]


Hahaha wow...I didn't see ur post before I posted mine since we have kind of the same stories. Sorry I didn't see that post before lol  And u put the story waaaaaayyyyyyy better than I did. Anyways thx and God bless!]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9403/having-difficulty-coping Sun, 27 Jun 2010 02:38:01 +0000 Ioannes 9403@/community/discussions They never call me anymore, they have birthday parties and do not invite me. Maybe I am a bit delusional, maybe I am not. I am back on my Lithium which is supposed to stop that, but I just dont feel anything is working to be honest. I dont want to go to church tomorrow. I am not sure what is going on in my head. I feel like I am screaming and nobody can hear me, I feel that nobody ever hears what the hell I am saying.

Nobody can know or understand bipolar's unless they are one. Abouna tells me not to stay home all day, because I am getting disability soon so I am not working, but nobody is ever around, they always have something to do. Nobody answers their phone or texts, not even on facebook. No other medicine has worked, and I have tried everything, if this stuff stops working then I am in trouble. I havent even touched my book I am working on because I cannot stop my mind, I am getting angry again, delusional, my mind does not stop. I feel actual hate for people, resentment.

I am so out of my mind right now. Is there anything that works for this? This is the lonliest disease in the world. And people wonder why manic depressives have such a high suicide rate.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9285/i-just-can-t-take-it-anymore Wed, 26 May 2010 19:46:08 +0000 [Deleted User] 9285@/community/discussions The user and all related content has been deleted.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9375/easily-irritated Fri, 18 Jun 2010 21:18:20 +0000 garyr9001 9375@/community/discussions

I know this may seem childish or obvious but i'm not very smart,

is it wrong to reap in the flesh by getting your eyebrows done?
I have always been confused on what our Church thinks about it.

My Church is planning a prayer meeting to pray for the topic witnessing for Christ. I am looking for sites, sayings of the Fathers, etc. on how to treat the people you are witnessing to, how to talk to them, how to convince ppl at different levels, (ex: Atheist vs Agnostic vs Other Religions etc). I hope to get this information before Saturday, i know its short notice but it was for me too and i really need your help guys. Thanks and God Bless

Recently, i when i was in the library at my school, there was a Holy Bible on one of the tables and this boy said something like Yuck- God doesn't belong in schools.
Then i said Actually, God belongs everywhere and is everywhere.
We got in a little argument and he said if God exist show me the evidence and i was like there is plenty of evidence.
But i wasn't able to address them since i don't know them well. If any of you guys ever had this problem or know anything i can do to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out and inform me.

Thanks an ignorant sinner

He wants to become an Orthodox and be baptized, I heard many different priests views on it, saying it's sinful? and others said just get him baptized and get a paper that proves he's never been married before.

Does anyone know what I should do, or believe according to this? I don't see why marrying from another country could be wrong if both belong to the same Church.

Thank you very much.

I wanted to ask something and I really need your honest answers. I've been always a very forgiving person and so humble, I like being simple and follow Christ's steps by being very humble, the last at everything and I ALWAYS forgive whoever hurts me and I always say that Christ asked us to forgive one another and love one another. But I always get hurt and people take advantage of me, fool me, and deceive me. Sometimes my friends call me weak and stupid for being forgiving and humble person. I want to know if it is really stupid of me for being simple, humble and forgiving person and why people these days understand this as being weak and stupid. I am starting to believe that I am really stupid and should do like everyone, lie, deceive, not forgive and take revenge whenever someone hurts me. Thanks for your answers and please pray for me. ]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9231/being-nice Thu, 13 May 2010 08:26:43 +0000 Tzegemariam 9231@/community/discussions
Happy Acesnsion of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ ,



So my brother has some friends that came over yesterday, and whenever they come over they use the restroom and sometimes get something to drink.
I don't mind them but their house is literally about 2 mins away. They live like 5-7 houses away from us.
I know its good to give to people food and stuff when they ask, but i just don't understand why they just come over and use our stuff when they have their own stuff.

What should i tell them...

Them thanks and May God Bless You all]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9219/my-future Mon, 10 May 2010 20:13:14 +0000 abanoub2000 9219@/community/discussions
Today I decided to bring this up with them and one of them just got up and left the house!! The other one started yelling about how she left her family and friends to move here for my education.

I am so confused right now.... I don't really want to become a doctor but I can't ignore the sacrifices my parents made for me.

AND to make matters worse.... I am not sure what I want to do with my life, the only thing I really do and enjoy is probably going to church, which isnt a career, unfortunately.

I am a uni student and although God helped me get into the course i am currently studying, every since my first year everything has been going down hill and i feel like God isn't there at all i used to pray a lot and read the Bible but i have started to give up on praying, reading and even worse i have started to lose my faith, as i can't do it anymore. I can't keep praying and asking for success after having studied only to fail and those around me who have not studied or cheat in exams, end up passing. recently i got results for an exam that i was prepared for only to find i failed and those i had help with their studies passed how can that be fair, we say God is fair but honestly in my time at uni i have not noticed that at all.

Please pray for me

Writing about the details of this issue may take ages; therefore, I will try to tell you what this is about in a nutshell.

I have a friend that I have known all my life. I am very close to him (let’s call him Mister X) and enjoy the time I spend with him. Mister X has always been a popular person with great qualities. However, Mister X has had a major problem ever since he was a kid: he constantly lies, exaggerates and makes up fake stories that shed the best light on him. For instance, he can say that he went to do humanitarian work in Africa for 2 weeks when in reality, he never took a trip to Africa in his life. Mister X can describe the details of his fake trip with complete confidence as if it were really true. I am writing this example simply to demonstrate the seriousness of the lies. I know about ALL his lies, I spend so much time with him that I know whether or not he is lying. 

Mister X is not a kid; he is in his mid twenties. Only the people extremely close to him realize that he is lying. When you question Mr. X about his lies, he becomes angry, defensive and talks behind your back. Me and 2-3 other close friends have always known about the lying problem of Mister X; however, we subconsciously neglected it and pretended as if it were not there. It’s also very important to mention that WE DID NOT realize the seriousness of this situation up until the past few weeks.

Basically what happened is that we put the pieces of the puzzle together and did our research and we are now convinced that Mr X suffers from the “pathological lying disorder”. What triggered us to solve this puzzle were the beyond ridiculous fake stories Mister X was inventing lately. Mr. X gets praised and credit for the fake stories he tells people. 

We love Mister X and we REALLY want to help him. We have absolutely no idea what to do. We are the only ones who know about his problem. Please do not tell me that “maybe he does not have a disorder” or that “you are not a psychologist” because, as certain we are about the color of milk, we are certain about his problem. We have never confronted him as we are scared that he will get defensive and eliminate us from his life.  We love him so much and this could not be said enough. We are never going to tell anyone about this problem unless we are certain that there will be a good outcome.

Any ideas? We thought about speaking to our father of confession and leaving Mister X’s name anonymous. Please, please let us know what you think. We think we have a responsibility to help him but the question is how? Pray for us...Thank you in advance.

I haven't been on Tasbeha.org for almost 2 years now, but I felt that I really need help from everyone that visits this website.

I'm 26 years old guy, working in a stable job. I serve in my church as a deacon leader & I teach hymns to kids & adults. Last year I got engaged to one my friends from church, & after staying together for almost 11 month she started treating me in a bad way. Then she told me that she wants to break the engagement because she doesn't have feelings for me anymore. I was very hurt & talked with Abouna (he is her Father of Confession as well) & he told me that I deserve a lot better person. & that she is immature & doesn't deserve me. Anyway.....things started getting worse, all my friends started leaving me, most of them left to other countries for work, & the rest of them started treating me in a different way. They started ignoring me completely. I don't know what to do, I feel that life is very tough without good friends that truly care about me. I don't know who to talk to or who to open up & share my stories with. I sometimes think about immigrating to another country to find good friends, but I come back to myself & say "I have a stable job, & I want to live near my parents". On the same time I want to get married, but there are no suitable girls in my church. The feeling of lonliness is killing me everyday.  Everyday I come back from work & I don't find anything to do, I find myself lonely & sad...I really don't know what to do. I really need your help. Please let me know what you think ]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9113/judging Fri, 16 Apr 2010 00:38:57 +0000 Sevant of Jesus Christ 9113@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/9152/forgiveness Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:54:03 +0000 vomo 9152@/community/discussions
