winnie the pooh Jay Dyer
>2018, be me
>agnostic, bordering on apathetic
>start rediscovering Christianity
>since I was highly online, and took 2 semesters of Russian in college, and a history nerd, Jay Dyer and the Orthodox crowd sucked me in
>saw all the orthoboo memes mocking protestants, I agreed with them as I viewed the modern world as highly corrupt and toxic
>Learned more and more, eventually the Orthodox view of hell and their distributed architecture vs Papist bulls— sealed it for me
>Started attending a mission church in my city
>begomecatechumen.jpg
>Started attending cathechumen classes/catechesis
>8 months later I left, I had had enough endless mocking of protestants in these classes, not that I was protestant, agreed with any of it or even knew about their doctrines, but the incessant b—-ing about them was just so winnie the pooh offputting and childish. Like a butthurt lefty in 2016 or a dumped ex. Talk about your church more or just shut the winnie the pooh up. Its 2 years later and it still kind of pisses me off that I sat through all that.
>decided to take a breather after pascha service; I did not have a good time, in fact, for some reason I hated it. I tried to like it, I knew I should be liking it, but something just felt really really wrong about being there.
>2 months into breather so many issues with orthodoxy arose that I felt I couldn't go back
>started learning about other sects; mostly just Catholicism and various forms of Protestantism
>learned Catholics aren't the schismatics that Orthodox like to screech about, Prots aren't the heretics that Catholics/Orthodox like to screech about
I'm still learning, but winnie the pooh Jay Dyer and the rest of that bulls- gang. It is all a big circlejerk, which gets its primary convertive power from internet memes made by terminally online people, and from people running away from ugliness in the modern world, not necessarily from people being attracted to its own beauty. I'm happy that I experienced it, because I am much more knowledgeable about things now, but also winnie the pooh these people for poisoning the well with their bulls- about heretics this schismatics that.
