Will Adopting the Homosexual Agenda Force Orthodoxy into ‘Mainstream Irrelevance’?
Lol…well, it was about time for me to buy another keyboard. Waste of a perfectly good glass of ice-tea though.

Matt is another member of Leonova’s coven. Thing’s must have gotten dull on her site (understandable since only one point-of-view is allowed) to occasion their arrival en mass.

Look, I have no interest in “forcing the Church to change its tradition”…
Really Joseph? Then what exactly was the manifesto you authored, signed, and circulated for other members of Leonova’s coven to sign before forwarding it to the bishops of the OCA? Your attempt at being disingenuous on this matter borders on being an outright lie. Stop dissembling and simply say what you mean & mean what you say.

From 105 to 50 in a New York Minute — Part III. Syosset: Ends, Means, Wants and Necessities
While working on another project, I was reminded that in just a few weeks we will mark the seventh anniversary of the Lush of the West’s DUI accident / Drunk & Disorderly incident in Nevada. To highlight this ever-memorial event in the OCA’s history since autocephaly, I composed the following image, which is titled “Benny on Board” and may be viewed here: http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff436/Heracleides/

Spoken like one of Leonova’s tried & true minions…. hold please, I sense a touchy-feelie moment coming on.

How truly bizarre Helga… (I guess great minds think alike
Wouldn’t that outcome place the “Holy” Synod on the horns of a dilema.

Fr. Partrick Henry Reardon: Delegation to Syria
Looks like Fr. Patrick missed a significant propaganda photo-op last month with his Muslim pal, Syria’s Grand Mufti Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun. No doubt the Despots’ were not pleased with the snafu. Seriously though, the photograph inside an Antiochian Patriarchate church says it all: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_162-57372175-503543/syrias-christians-stand-by-assad/

Isa: “I am a little confused: if you wife was a native Syrian Muslim, how were you able to live with her as her husband in Syria?”
Denny: “About three months prior to the protests breaking out, my then fiance, now wife, informed me…”
That would have been about a year ago, and Denny states elsewhere they left Syria in mid-April. Small window of time (what, 14 or so weeks at the utmost) so it would appear they either married very shortly before departing or sometime thereafter.

George, it is interesting to note that in his televised rant, the Grand Mufti makes a point of stating that the Muslim suicide bombers he threatens to unleash will be native American & European converts to Islam. Myself, I would not be at all surprised if his bluster holds more than a grain of truth.
When completing my graduate studies at one of the largest state universities in the nation shortly after 911, I had the misfortune to run afoul of an American convert to Islam who was by far and away the more fanatical Muslim than any of the “cradle” Islamists who frequented the Muslim Center on campus. While I hate to admit it, I can quite easily see that white, middle-class undergrad nutcase elbowing his “cradle” pals out of the way to be at the front of the line to strap on a suicide vest.
Only thing worse than a “naturalized” foreign born fifth column is a native Quisling class in our midst.

Most enlightening. Perhaps for your next propaganda photo-op your master will send you to dine with Hasan Nasrallah of Hezbollah. You can then share your deep insights as to your utter shock, sorrow and amazement when he shows his true colors just a few days after your visit. Thankfully, he will have kept his true nature cloaked prior too and during your pow-wow so as not to spoil your extended gastronomic extravaganza.

Since they are acquainted and, if photographs are any indication, get along splendidly, perhaps Fr. Reardon can have a word with the Grand Mufti and ask that he show continued restraint and only condone the bombing of non-Christians in Syria… er, Europe and the US.

How does my commenting on Bp. Philip’s preference in titles somehow equate to expert knowledge of life in Syria for Christians under the Dictator Assad? Please enlighten me Tamara as to your muddled thinking in this regard and perhaps we can go from there.
» Posted By Heracleides On October 10, 2011 @ 9:12 pm
Ummm, Peter… you are aware that “Despot” is one of Bp. Philip’s preferred titles? The man positively glows when he is acclaimed as such. When I use said title in relation to the ever-so-holy-and-all-exalted-bishop-lord-and-master of Englewood and All Creation, it is with the utmost sincerity, as the nature of the man fits the definition of the word just as hand fits glove.

Tamara dear, I was speaking of a missed Koran kissing photo-op in terms of Fr. Reardon’s propaganda tour with an oblique reference to another cleric who let himself be used for propaganda purposes by Muslims when he smacked the Koran with puckered lips. No doubt that flew right past you. I suppose photographs of Priest Reardon hobnobbing with the Grand Mufti will have to suffice in this instance – perhaps next time Fr. can fit the Koran kissing photo-op into his busy schedule as he is selectively shepherded through the streets of Damascus by his minders.
In any event Tamara, Fr. Reardon knows who I am as we have communicated privately in the past. So deal with my moniker – or not – as I simply don’t care if my use of it entails loss of sleep on your part.

Sort of like: ‘The Despot (Assad) of your Despot (Philip) is now our Despot (Assad)’ – sorry, but I am not buying it.
» Posted By Heracleides On October 10, 2011 @ 1:06 pm
I didn’t need permission. I’ve long been skeptical of Fr. Reardon’s words or lack thereof when it comes to the comedy that is Englewood. That he chooses to act on behalf of a pair of despots is his affair; that I choose to dismiss his actions is mine.
» Posted By Heracleides On October 9, 2011 @ 9:56 pm
What, Fr. Reardon… no photographs of you kissing the Koran whilst on your propaganda tour? I should think the Despot (the one in Englewood, not Damascus) would have wanted you to cover all bases. He (or you) must be slipping.

My apologies George for posting this message twice (both here and in another thread), but with the AAC fast approaching I wanted to have it in a recent thread with fewer posts so it wouldn’t be buried under 200+ messages!
I had hoped to attend the AAC in person, but due to an illness in the family will not be able to do so. I have therefore decided to upload a project in support of Met. Jonah that I’ve been working on for some time. The project consists of two “campaign button” style images featuring our Metropolitan and are intended to be worn while at the AAC in a show of support. Rather than going for something satirical, I decided this morning in favor of understatement and to simply let the images speak for themselves.
There are two different button images to select from, and the images can be downloaded from here: http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff436/Heracleides/AAC%20Buttons/ Click on the images without the lines and save them by right-clicking and selecting “save as” from the options listed. Once you’ve saved the images to a directory (be sure to remember where you’ve put them) you can then go to Zazzle and have buttons made up for your use quite inexpensively using the following url: http://www.zazzle.com/make_a_button-145067964138452953
Once at the url above, simply select a button size and them hit the orange “Customize It” button and follow the instructions. (The sample buttons on my Photobucket Album from where you downloaded the images depict the 3 inch buttons, but the images themselves are suitable for all sizes available. In the samples, the area inside the red lines is what will be visible, that outside the lines will of course curl underneath the button.)
I hope folks attending the AAC will find the buttons useful and go to the effort of making a few for yourself and friends too wear with pride while at the council. Better yet, make a few extra buttons and hand them out to others at the AAC – the more open support our Metropolitan receives in Seattle – the better.

Why is Bp Melchizedek Visiting 79th Street all of a Sudden?
No, simply a confirmed Stokovite tool.

Everything you’ve written above is on target and greatly appreciated. Sorry to see you go, but can very much understand the need. Godspeed.

Egad! My standing in the community has sunk to a new low – I have merited my very own posting diatribe on Stan-the-Mutilated-Man’s blog. Not sure if I should be chagrined or simply puke.

After reading Stokoe’s latest gratuitous “reflection” on OCA Spews, I couldn’t help but take pen to paper (or more accurately, mouse to screen) and compose my latest bit of satire entitled “News Clipping…” which can be viewed here: http://s1235.photobucket.com/home/Heracleides

Lol. Carl, you are such a caricature of…. yourself! Thanks once again for the laugh.

Your thoughts are the best summary I have yet seen on the matter of Stan and his issues. Kudos.

Oleksa’s reply: What Does This Mean for Autocephaly?
George – there doesn’t seem to be a link to Fr. Oleksa’s letter in the Alaska Dispatch. I tried looking for it at the paper’s website but had no luck. Could you please provide a link to the url? Thanks.

Alaska’s Pebble Project: Stolen Emails and the Promise of Reward
Ok… so by your reasoning, Fr. Fester would have been better off by simply stating that many/most bishops are worms rather than naming one in particular… To be honest, I can live with that.
In any event, I have a hard time in seeing how your calling the words of a sainted patriarch “irresponsibly vicious” as being much different from a presbyter calling a certain bishop a worm. But maybe that’s just me – perhaps in the OCA bishops are beyond criticism from the presbyterate, deaconate, or laity. In my world, a spade is a spade, no matter the headgear. Hats off to Fr. Fester. (Yes, pun intended.)

«« Back To Stats Page“What is this story about Bishop Benjamin and a reposed seminarian?”
The (limited) information on this particular scandal is also contained in Bp. Nikolai’s letter. If you do some online investigating, you can gain further information on the reposed seminarian – none of which has a happy ending. If even half of what is intimated is correct, then Bp. Benjamin has a lot to answer for in regards to this young man in the life to come.
As for Bp. Nikolai’s credibility – if even half of the negative things attributed to him are correct – can you think of any hierarch more likely to have the dirt on a fellow bishop? Something to think about.
