>I would go further than this and say that it crashed and burned because it did have a direction of sort, and that was hateful retaliation to r/OrthodoxChristianity, and it had a potential user base to draw from, and many of those people hate the platform. I think if you want a successful userbase they need to be people moved by love and with an intention to spread the Gospel, not just moved by hate with an urge to yell at degenerates.
Yep, which is why I think a positive focus on learning about Tradition could be a way to go, although I'm leaving the door open for politics posting and philosophy etc.
>I like the idea, but I don't really know the best way to do it, whether megapost or chapter by chapter. I do like the idea of knowing ahead of time though so I can read some relevant material ahead of time.
Maybe the best way would be to just go straight ahead and test things. Will probably start trying stuff out later today.

Love your ideas so far and would love to participate, but at least right now I'm not going to start any of my own threads probably.
I don't expect anyone to put in effort on something I haven't done anything on yet.
>I only just realized you are poorjohn. How the heck did you not get banned for so long? I kept seeing you posts and wondering how they hadn't gotten rid of you yet. I know that people don't like reddit links on here, but could you say the thread you got the ban for posting in?
I don't know precisely as mods ignored messages asking for clarification but given that it was for "antisemitism" it would have been that post by xTheotokosx:
>I just had another back and fourth exchange with someone on the Christian page on Reddit and the guy was saying that the Orthodox Church is anti Semitic. He says they won't condemn Hamas like hey do Israel. What do you guys make of this? Is the Church really anti Semitic ?
I would have been banned for one of these:
>Semites are a race. All races are welcome in the Church. Individual Jews might complain about anti-zionism or anti-judaism but that really has nothing to do with antisemitism. Also, Israel is a terrorist state and so is the USA - especially the US and its many war-crimes.
"The Jews must also be free to remain Jews" - aletheia
>This is why the Church is an existential threat to them and many hate Christianity. It denies them the special privileges in the eyes of God that they invented. If you use that definition the Church's very existence is intrinsically antisemitic.
>Or, given that Christ was only incarnated because of Mary's assent and the Jewish people, the Church has an intrinsic positive link to Judaism. This reinforced by liturgy, early conversions, scripture, and so on.
What do you mean by "invented"? The scriptures make it clear that the Jews are chosen among the nations to fulfil God's economy. - 10101011010
>Well, let's define things better then. The Church has an intrinsic positive link to certain aspects of 2nd Temple Judaism and inherits the Hebrew Scriptures. Modern Rabbinic Judaism is a heretical offshoot of the true Israel which is the Church which St Paul points out many times (Rom 9, Gal 4).
God's economy is fulfilled and the nations have been re-inherited by God. To maintain an earthly Israel is Judaizing.
"I assume this is well-known by members of this forum.
However, ideas like that expressed in your last sentence of the above post risk equivocating between both and are used to justify (properly) anti-semitic beliefs.
You offered one definition, I countered with another. Do you think any of us gain anything from this game? Or do we make it clearer to someone reading this thread?" - 1011001000101
>Honestly, I couldn't care less about being called antisemitic for some fabricated reason. I'd rather maintain the beliefs of the Church and be called an antisemite than compromise them. My comment above is clear enough for that.

Yeah, brokehugs is a shithole. I don't really see what they're going to do
