  • Wow! I just finished reading Islam Unveiled: Disturbing Questions about the world's Fastest-Growing Faith by Robert Spencer. It is an amazing book (thanks SMS for the recommendation). I think everyone should read it. It finally says what the world h…

  • How To Learn Coptic - Chris
  • The Pope was the one who came to the decision that fish is ok to eat during the Apostle's Fast. But our religion came up with "Things We Can't Eat During Fasts" for people who don't know what they like, or are just so picky they have to know every r…

  • Maged and the Tasbeha.org team of Administrators are just here so we don't go off into things that don't benefit us spiritually, or things that don't involve spiritual matters at all. Just like administrators at any other forum, they are here to kee…
  • Or tell him to read Islam Unveiled: Disturbing Questions about the World's Fastest-Growing Faith by Robert Spencer (this book was recommended by another member, SMS). Why would he want to convert to a religion that has killed our people, the Copts,…
  • Mike and Team, Yes I tried that. It was a zip file I was trying to upload. And it was less than the 100 MB limit. Yet, I still got the same message.
  • Uncle Nagy...oh he's not old then. Really good guy. Lol. Then I made a big vocabulary mistake. Really sorry :-[ Yea, that would be funny if there were masses like that. Yea, sorry about the mix-up :-[. But I'm sure you guys still get what I mean …
  • Yea. My church for example. St. Abraam's in LI, NY. We follow a tone that leans towards polyphonic. What I mean by polyphonic is more about pitch of the lahn than the actual tune. I know that in St. George, your head deacon, lol, i guess he refuses…
  • Wasim, First off, "rules" is probably stretching it. More like "guidelines". Second, yes, I believe that each church having their own separate guidelines makes our Coptic Church so unified. What I mean is that because the Holy Synod does not se…
  • Mike, there was already a "How To:" thread. I created the title "How to:" to leave it open for other questions other than my own. If you don't mind can you move your post to that thread? It surely will be answered there just the same. Thanks, - C…

  • Yea, every church has their own separate kind of rules. Believe it or not, but that's what makes our Church so unified. - Chris By the way, you guys call your priest's wife Tasoni? "Tasoni" means "sister" in Coptic. I don't get that.
  • Ah. Sorry, my fault. Ok....back to the topic of flirting now..... - Chris

  • Paul, Yea, I'll keep an eye out. Sorry again. - Chris
  • Yea Mike's got a point Nardin. You don't need a thousand million exclamation points to make your point. Now its much more uncomfortable to read this thread. - chris
  • lololol. hahaha. Thank God you're not married to her NC. lol. How in the world do you come up with these types of things? lol. - Chris

  • Whoa Michael Thoma. That was amazing. True words of wisdom. It brought a tear to my eye :'( (im not tryin to be sarcastic). Honestly, very very very well put. I agree whole-heartedly! :) - Chris
  • Wasim, I was talking about Defender's method of ending a thread. "2 Parties". Whatever. It doesn't matter right? Whoever starts it can choose to end it. Case closed, right? - Chris
  • OK. That sounds like a good idea. Whoever starts the thread can choose to end it. Then there's always just locking a thread so no more posts can be added. I like that idea better guys. - Chris
  • lol. My brain hurts after reading that. I doubt everyone in here can follow that Mike. Did you guys ever consider just letting a thread continue on forever? I mean, think about it...first, its too complicated to find a way to conclude the thread...…
  • Paul, I am very sad to report to you that I officially cannot find a single site existing on the internet with the annual verses of the cymbals. It's crazy, you'd think such a regular hymn that we say every Saturday during vespers would be all ove…
  • Mark, lol. ;D NC, Well then, speaking in that sense, we are all aliens. Christ himself said that His children are not of this world. And we are all His children. So I guess we're all aliens. John 17 15 I pray not that thou shouldest ta…

  • lol. I thought Abby died?!!? She's back?! - Chris
  • Illegal immigrants? lol. Good question. As far as I know, I don't think it mentions them. I could be wrong. - Chris

  • Wasim, sounds like a good idea. How would we agree on who would write it though? NC, lol. Nice try. Maybe next time!! lol ;D :D - Chris
  • Whoa. That might've been the best pro-Bush response I've ever read. Period. Really Nice Job Mark. Really! ;D ;D HIGH FIVE FOR YOU! - Chris
  • Yea I understand. Nah, man, we're good. ;D Your Brother in Christ, - Chris
  • Mike, I hope you weren't referring to my previous posts. They dealt with this topic to the greatest possible extent. Pray for who? People can post here to ask for other people to pray for them or someone they know, but we don't have to respon…
  • Hey All, I was flipping through the Bible today and I saw this awesome verse. And it applies to this topic in general. Hope you all like it. James 5 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hav…
  • Lover, All I can suggest is check these threads out and then form your own decision. Don't let anyone tell you to do anything. Let them advise you, but don't let their advise be the only thing you hear. Check these out: Views on Dating Views on…
  • Mike, This might be a simplistic response. But the most obvious difference between a dictatorship and a democracy is that in a dictatorship, the people in power are usually demagogues and tyrants with little or no respect for their people's belief…
