Is that the way to get someone thrown out of the diaconate? Wow. I'm going to start handing out cigarettes to 98% of the deacons.

Godlovesme, See, a girl (young lady) had to come and bring things into completion. Something that Minagir was not capable of achieving. I thank you most righteously.

How about: The Star-Spangled Banner?

TITL, It was a cut/paste of my oldies. Minagir, Better yet, I will make you eat two-week-old korban.
-
So, my dear internet pal, you were trying to subvert me into thinking I was incomplete. If I ever see, as a Marine Drill Sergeant, I will make you do 10 metanias while carrying a sack of flour on your back. Thereafter, do ten laps around the church…

Yo Phoebe, Your assumption is incorrect: There was never a Liturgical Role for women in the Church....Not in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,....,19th, 20th, 21st centuries. The Role of the Deaconess, in the past, as well as their recent re-commissio…

What, my dear Minagir?

I think that was the longest post in the History of Tasbeha.org If it seems like I have a lot of thoughts on the issue: YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!! Consider this: THE GREATEST HITS OF ILOVESAINTMARK I saved you the effort of having to read my previous…

Lesson #1: Teach how to make the Sign of the Cross (not the stomach thing or the swatting the fly technique) but actually saying the Prayer of the Signing of the Cross. Lesson #2: The way I see it, the Deacons are the Marines. The laity are the Fo…

Dude, Let me be blunt: Read the Book.

Since it is okay to have those features towards such a project, would it justify the following: 1. Having a bar in the orphanage so the adults can have something to break the difficulties of the day? 2. Teach the kids to play the different casino…

Muslim Brotherhood = Satan in charge Mubarak = Son of Satan in charge

Muslim Brotherhood wants Egypt. The Rich want to get richer. The poor want to be like the rich. The only problem is, everything is being manipulated by the Muslim Brotherhood for their ultimate takeover.

What if the Church gets labeled as being immoral for accepting ill-gotten funds? It would be easy to say that the Church sanctioned a break-away organization, knowing that this would be a method to raise these incredible amounts of money, and then…
-
This has nothing to do with deacons. It is basically a warning that there has been a shift in the character of our people. There are new trends of using immoral and inappropriate associative techniques to try to raise money for an orphanage. Thi…

Well, yes, actually: Fundraising activities-- 1. Marathon 2. Super Bowl Party (keg, hard liquor, etc) 3. Dinners (inc. of DJ, hard liquor, etc) 4. Monte Carlo night (casino chips that you buy and can win prizes--not directly a gambling situatio…
-
This one is not about deacons. It is about an organization, using an orphanage as ends to justify the above issues. I'm asking if it is justifiable act.
-
Gambling, without the long discussion is taking a gift from God and throwing it away. It is a sin. So, can one use that sin as a means to obtain money for a charitable situation? Can you throw a party to booze it up and dance for the same? Is it ju…

Can I be invited to the wedding?
-
A Lottery is gambling. Here's a thought: Is a Monte Carlo night to do fundraising acceptable? Even for a cause to raise money for an orphanage. Is a boozer's night acceptable to raise money even for poor starving orphans?
-
Godlovesme, Be careful. You have taken the bait. Watch what you say, because you will be entering very mirky territory. I warned you. Actually, that goes for everyone. You have been warned.
-
Of course, I am just speaking theoretically--mind you.
-
Really. So how would you deal with a given scenario that I posed with a particular charitable organization? They have some pretty interesting activities; all with a delightful cause of helping poor orphans. Contemplate that, please.
-
I want to become Protestant. Can someone teach me the methods? What must I do? I am looking for tangible approaches and methods. How do I leave the Orthodox Church? Is there a ticket I need to purchase or a passport? My friend told me, I would…

You can donate a portion or all of the money. There are so many variables. Only you know your heart. Only God can judge your heart.

I know a lot about girls. You have to disarm them and submit to them in the same sweep. When confronted with a wrong, you say: 1. I'm sorry for doing it. 2. I don't know what came over me. 3. It will never happen again. If men espouse this si…

I was just throwing it out there for contemplation for one thing. Godlovesme, I actually visited Machiavelli's tomb in Italy to get a sense of the guy. I do not espouse his faulty philosophy. I was a philosophy minor in college. I just find thi…

I think it is Phoebe.

I think we should start counting the days until the Second Coming of the Lord. It seems His Time is approaching.

I'm going to make some coffee, warm up, and go outside and deal with the snow. Either I come back in and become nastier or I will be tired and mellow out. Looking forward to chatting later. I'm sure I will be burned at the stake in absentia. Mar…
