Shares for religious conversion

Postby The Archregimancy » Sun Apr 01, 2012 1:12 am

I will give away 5000 shares to anyone who sincerely and truly converts to the Orthodox Church by the end of the share trading period.

Please make sure you post a copy of your conversion certificate, signed by a bishop of a canonical Orthodox jurisdiction in communion with the Patriarchs of Constantinople and Moscow, and clearly listing whether you converted via baptism or chrismation.

Other than 5000 shares, what does the Orthodox Church truly offer?

Never. It must have been a typo.

Well, I'd mutter something about eternal salvation in the next life and a rich liturgical and theological tradition built up over 2000 years in this one - but judging by Aelosia's thread, that's not going to convince many of you.

So how about bling?

Gold.

Lots and lots of lovely, lovely gold.

This is the interior of the main chapel of the monastery of Vatopedi, one of the senior monasteries on Mount Athos, the centre of Orthodox monasticism:

Hmmmm.... sweet, nutritious life-giving gold....

Gold gives you life, huh?
I'd prefer silver. Especially since it's rarer than gold anyway. :)

I'm sorry Arch. I consider you a wise man, but I can't support heresy. May God bless and keep safe the Bishop of Rome!

The power of self is unlimited and ultimate, an unending wave of pure energy and being that could never be stopped, apart from time and forever ingrained into the fabrics of all being, this is the truth of Korrelian Existentialism.

⚧Copy and paste this in your sig if you passed biology and know gender and sex aren't the same thing ⚧
Pronouns? Just use whatever, it's all the same to me :P
You will always have your friends, with your friends, you will never be alone. There will always be a light. Friendship is Magic, its the magic that brings the most glimmering lights of hope to the darkest of worlds. And as long as you have it, you will never have to be afraid of the dark. - Me, New Babylonia ^^
