Is it a sin that I'm kind of relieved that I get to sleep in for 15 extra minutes in the morning?
-
Since you're the only person on this forum who loves me, I guess I can invite you under one circumstance: no more "let me say this to see how much TITL will freak out". We should name our forum "Preference vs. Time Constraint: Americans Only". It'…

I'm making my own forum. And in case anyone was wondering, no one from here is invited.
-
FATHER PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You asked for it.
-
Mina. Go away. If any OTHER American Tasbahians have anything supportive to say about their country, please feel free to.
-
As a native English speaker, and even more as a British speaker (since we are continuing the Britain vs. American fued) How come I wasn't invited to this? You can't have a Britain vs. America feud without an AMERICAN! You British people are really s…
-
TITL, it is true that Americans do not have an accent like any British person, but the accents which you do have....!!!!! ...makes the entire world jealous. You really ought to finish your sentences, Father Peter, instead of misquoting mine. :P
-
As a native English speaker I am aware that I have an advantage over many here on the forum whose first language is American. This time, can I say you started it (the whole american vs. british war we have in every thread)? Since Lent is coming to …

Aw man. I spent 23 bucks on this from Amazon! >:( It's a great documentary nonetheless, and I also recommend it. :)
-
I don't understand why everyone thinks excuses are bad. Why is reason always something positive and excuse unfavorable? I think you're giving an excuse, Fr. Peter :P I guess the example you gave makes sense, but it also makes sense to say "I have a…

Did I say something wrong? lol
-
Remnkemi, My last post was directed to Mina. I understand completely what you are alluding to and I agree to some extent (not fully because I have not witnessed most of your examples in my own parish). In my previous reply to you, I mentioned tha…

Forget it, Mina. Just focus on the 'judging = sin' thing :P
-
Father of Confession :) The only acronym I know..
-
What are you trying to prove? :P I'm saying if you have an excuse for occasional skipping, then you can't say "since we had an excuse once, we're allowed to give excuses for every single church service".
-
But in the big picture, if there is a valid, spiritual reason to skip hymns occasionally, then there could be a valid, spiritual reason to skip hymns and rush every time. I do not agree. What causes a church to skip hymns and rush through the Litur…
-
Remnkemi, imikhail was saying if this was a general trend in churches then there is something wrong. You previously gave the example of skipping hymns occasionally, per request of Abouna, but that' not the same as rushing through everything, everyt…
-
Imikhail, I'll be talking to myself if I open a thread about this. As you can see, Mina won't even bother explaining his side (maybe cause he's told me 5 million times and I still don't agree/understand his point). So unless he joins into the dis…
-
What in the world!! Priests can't agree that judging isn't a sin! Stop hypnotizing priests to agree with you! I'm going to use ILSM's homosexuality formula: Judging = Sin.
-
So now that we're all in Kumbaya mood, can we convince Mina that judging is a sin? :P It ties into this thread, nobody yell at me.
-
Sorry! Nobody ever agrees with me when I say things.. so welcome to the club :P No, I'm kidding. You did make a valid point, but your statement is only half true. If churches are skipping hymns and rushing through the Liturgy then there is someth…
-
I was completing your sentence, not giving you my opinion. lol But I actually do agree with Mina and JY. So, "wrong" could have worked either way :P
-
If the general trend is to skip hymns and rush services, then there is something spiritually. ..wrong. :)
-
I'm saying things are not cut and dry so that you can say people are lazy or unwilling to stay for a longer liturgy simply because they lack spiritual depth and maturity. I'm sorry, you lost me. I read it 68 times and still don't understand. Wait,…
-
Also, praying mighalo will not deprive people from earning a living to feed their families. looool I know seriously, what was that JY? :P I didn't seem to quite understand the less-fortunate scenario either regarding extended services due to hymns.…

Easter is on April 24th, not this Sunday, but the following! :) And Jews don't celebrate Easter, unless you're referring to Passover?
-
It's hard to make a simple generalization for all the churches, because each priest, congregation, and area varies. If the priest is strong on preferences, then the congregation will get used to it and start to think more of it. If the priest usuall…
-
I personally think time contraints weigh more than preferences. If a church is limited on time, for whatever reason (baptism, long sermon, started late..etc), then preferences wouldn't really matter, because they have to finish within a period of ti…

Good question. I'm going to color my post, so it's easier to read :) Last semester, I got in quite a bit of trouble in school and made a mistake that was going to affect and ruin my entire future. I desperately called to the help of Anba Karas, h…

I think the responses in this thread will help a little:http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,7819.0.html
