Ummmmm, i'm not sure I'd recommend that. :-\ I know what I'd do in that situation... God bless, CS

I'm not gonna say much more here... :) I hope that God works in us all to teach us our weakness. God bless, CS

Thats fine but how are you judging if music is good? CS
-
Oh, it is definetly on the strict side but basically do you think you should be paying money to artists and record companies that invest so much time end effort into making something destructive? God bless, CS

Its a hard one because you will get different fathers who give different advice because they have different ideas about what we should do so its always a good idea not to compare. However I think Marian was not given a blanket ban on all music? Mo…

In popular music you have artists who have a bad attitude towards fashion and sexuality that they show off. Some take drugs and swear. None of that happens in the church! The lyrics are always very clean and are about praise. Praising God in mus…

You should always obey your father in confession because a command in confession is very powerful and binding and much more so that something your asked to do something somewhere else becaue it is a specific spiritual reform that you have been asked…

Yeah but a lot of people would argue the same thing, no talking on the phone either when unsupervised. Believe it or not Anba Surial was raised that way and he was not allowed to go to the shops with friends until he entered uni and he was not allo…

The problem is like with dating that your with a person of the opposite sex unsupervised and it can be an issue if you know this person locally because you will meet them face to face. Its just not recommended.

Its still problematic because we don't guage the issue by sins done in person... There are problems with sending pictures and the devil can still tempt people who are a distance a part and we might do something sinful because our guard is down. I …

The only thing I've heard about that is Anba Surial said to us that he doesn't like it when boys and girls chat on the internet unsupervised, its like the dating issue. Its okay here on the board because its in an open forum but when its done with …

The coptic church has never formally declared that he was a heretic and he has added a lot to our faith. I understand there were concerns about him because of certain actions (like chopping off his you know what) and being made into a priest in a d…

My understanding is that in the original greek the word used for hate means to put something second... God bless, CS

I tend to think that so much of the music we listen to today is destructive. I only really listen to either music without lyrics or church music... God bless, CS

[quote author=sleepymusician link=board=1;threadid=470;start=30#msg7747 date=1090688308] Yea, there are psychological tricks that you can use, and those can include using ways at getting back at them undirectly. That's what I use. There is a 6 year …

What I mean is punishing siblings is a bad idea because you live with each other and you do something that they'll most likley say, who gave you the right to do that? I'm not sure what sort of stuff you fight about but there are psychological trick…
