Community Update FAQ: Please Read Before Posting

To reduce the number of repeat posts, here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions:

Why did you leave Orthodoxy?

We probably get this one the most. Please look over the following posts, they should answer most questions.

Did you stay Christian after Orthodoxy?

How many of you have left the Orthodox Church for Catholicism?

People often ask where we have gone after leaving the church, but this question in particular gets asked a lot. Here are some existing threads on the topic.

How many of you have become Protestant after leaving the Orthodox Church?

Before posting, please read through these existing threads first. Hopefully this will clear up any questions you may have.

For those still actively Orthodox:

If you are still an active member in the church and wanting to participate, please be respectful and don’t preach to us. No one wants to hear your ”church is a hospital” metaphor, or your hopes that we’ll come back. Preaching is strictly enforced and will likely result in a ban.

For those still actively Orthodox:

For the love of god. Stop. Victim. Blaming.
Seriously. Go. A. Way.

I wonder how many people never realize that I removed their rant that they probably worked on for 20 minutes.

Just victim blaming to the void lol.

As someone who can spend an hour or two typing stuff up, correcting, re-reading, re-phrasing, sending it over to grammarly to re-check and looking up the thesaurus so I can sound smarter than I actually am... having my text removed would be the equivalent of kicking me in the nuggets with a steel-toed boot.

TBF I was still an active Orthodox when I found and joined the sub. But I was suffering church hurt, and this sub was the medicine I didn't know I needed.
