  • [quote author=glorybetohim link=topic=4961.msg67128#msg67128 date=1170731255] what should i do if one of my old best friends is going out with a boy who is 4 years older than her...shes only 14...and she stopped going inside the meetings at church b…
  • i think you should pray for him. and talk to him about talking to his FOC and your friend should also pray to God so that he can lead to the right direction so he can make the right decision. God Bless
  • [quote author=baladoos link=topic=5019.msg67819#msg67819 date=1171943854] God be with you lol, don't be scared or worried from anything, God is with you and will sort out everything for you, so don't worryyy yalla take care [/quote] i totally agr…
  • no, she is white (american), she is not coptic. she is christian. i don't know what branch because whenever i ask her she says that she doesn't have a "branch" she just beleives in God. but if that is how she feels, then i don't want to interfere wi…
  • in my opinion, i don't think jesus will be upset, as long as you have him in your heart and prayers, God knows that you don't mean any harm. but i do agree with Coptic-Irini about having a picture of your savior is beautiful to have on your phone
  • hi Believer in God, i had a grandma that passed a way a few years ago (old age) and i the last time i saw her was when i was 4. i am now 16. so i feel your pain (about you being worried about your grandmother), but i just want you to know, that i am…
  • thanks jydeacon, its good to be back
  • well, i go to Saint Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Delware :)
  • i think since they were only ten, they were probably treated similarly to this from there parents or some kind of family member because what kind of 10 year olds have those horrible ideas to torture people like that. and not just "people" but a 3 y…
  • i think the best thing to do is to not worry about it. God will lead you to the what is right and guard you from the devil. all you need to do is pray and have faith and God will always be there for you. :)
  • that was really nice. one time when me and my friends were on this philly trip (school thing), we saw many homeless people on the street. and i had money with me, and i was going to give it to them, but my friends told me i shouldn't do it, cause y…
  • thanks gods kid, but i really don't want to be the one to change her mind cause i think it will def. not work out. but thank you soooo much for your opinion. :)
  • i think they were guardian angels cause in the begining she said that she had angels walk beside her so i'm guessing they were angels :)
  • [quote author=KBibo8 link=board=13;threadid=3987;start=0#msg56011 date=1149723512] No we don't believe in superistition and bad luck, but due to the prevelnce of such thinking in Egyptian society many people believe in superstition anyway. [/quote] …
  • i'm sorry, i still don't really understand why the word macbeth is/might be bad luck. i mean, it's just a word and if it is only the sword fights, then there are probably a lot of words that should be bad luck. i still don't really understand????
  • Thank You soooo much guys for all your help and advice. sorry, i couldn't right sooner, i was just soo busy with school, anyways, i try the best i can to ignore him and keep him out of my mind, sometimes, it works and then sometimes i can't help but…
  • i feel worried for some of my family who live in egypt. think what might happen on easter day or tomorrow or something when they are in churches. :-\
  • i think homosexuals are born that way. Because they probably don't know that they are attracted to the same sex and they might even deny it until they realize that they like someone who is the same sex. But i have a question, is it ok to have a bi-…
  • i think there is nothing wrong with talking to her on the phone. i mean, it is just talking to another human body. i think that you shouldn't talk about religions though. cause it could lead you to a lot of commotion between your relationship with h…
  • my parents won't let me have a dorm. because they think that (as cookiesalib813 said) i will be tempted to sin from the freedom from home. they say that coptic orthodox people shouldn't stay in a dorm for that matter. are they right? or are they wro…
  • mazza, i know how you feel. sometimes i feel the same way too. but i never let it get to me cause i know it is so not God. if you pray and work hard and have enough confidence that you will do good on it, you will def. get a good grade. if i get a b…
  • to tell you the truth i don't really know but i am curious about it too. it is a really weird feeling, i'll tell you that. and when i do something or say something, it feels that i did it (exact same thing) before. and i get creeped out because i kn…
  • i got that all the time especially when i was in intermediate school because there were a lot of mexicans there and people would think i am one of them. i actually got asked if i was hawaiin or italian. and i always until now, get "i thought you wer…
  • well i will agree if their clothes are disgraceful or inapropriate but if they are appropriate and just a little dressy, (since it is easter) people would like to celebrate that day and just get dressed up. however, you go to church to thank God and…
  • yeah, well my friend gets hit all the time not once in a while over dumb stuff. and yes, shrink is phsyc. but that is abuse if she keeps getting hit like that. and to her it isn't normal or anything to get hit. (she is not egyptian)
  • i think hassan1's first question is how long should we confess. i am not really sure about that. but abouna at my church lets us take communion and then confess that same day. but you can't take communion if you don't confess at all.
  • welcome lost soul and diana, hope you both enjoy this fantastic website, hope to see lots of posts from you! God Bless ;D
  • yeah, that is a good idea (talking with abouna) and maybe going to an ortodox church a few times will help. then when she agrees and reads the creed, she could get baptised.
  • does your friend know all about the orthodox beliefs? and just out of curiousity, why does she want to be orthodox?
  • yeah, i will def. be responsible and christian at these dances. and pray to keep the devil away from me but my parents are strict....really strict. they will think that i will learn from the people there. but i don't and i will never with the help o…
