WARNING

NOT EVERYTHING THAT

CALLS ITSELF ORTHODOX IS

TRULY ORTHODOX


The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986. Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the Royal Path. For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation. And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten. For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the Royal Path, especially who speak English. Hopefully this website will be a place where Newcomers to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring."

The 'MP' in the "ROCOR-MP' becomes clearer

Who could I ask to explain this to me?  When Rdr. Daniel Everiss was alive, I would ask him.  And Daniel would ask Eugene Magerovsky.  The translation is not clear to me, but even if it were, I don't understand politics well enough.

Is this true...?

     The ROCOR-MP is being accused of being a tool for the Soviets.  ROCOR-MP is thus a threat to US National Security.  If so, then who is making the accusation?  Is the accuser an American like maybe the FBI?  If so, then remember that Konstantine Preobrahensky pointed this out long ago.
     So, is this article saying that the American FBI finally figured out what we tried to warn them about back in 2009?

KGB/FSB's New Trojan Horse: Americans of Russian Descent

When Fr. Gregory died †2016, SJKP had plenty of copies of this book in stock.  World Orthodox relatives took over the SJKP about a year later.  First thing they did was to box up all the back issues of Living Orthodoxy magazines and stick them high away in the attic.  I bet we could find the cases of the "New Trojan Horse" book up there with the magazines.  Contact me if you can't find a copy for a fair price.

This is the pragmatism of Vatican II in Orthodoxy

ROCOR-MP has fallen into world orthodoxy so deep, it is now experiencing symptoms that the Roman Church manifested with Vatican II.

Excerpt from interview
  from 39:21 to 41:17


Evan Stern: ...once you see it, you see it everywhere.
          Like the latest synodal statement about the things that are happening in Russia — they don't have the teeth to say: "communism."  They use a euphemism.   They say, "dangerous 20th century ideologies" or something.  They're completely neutered.  They can't even name the demonic force that they claim to stand against.  Because it would cause too much of a rift in the former Soviet Union.  

Sbn Nektarios:  [ROCOR had an 80-year witness against Sergianism.  MP is on the cusp of canonizing Sergius Stragorodsky.  It will be interesting to see what ROCOR-MP does about that. paraphrased ~jh]

Evan Stern:   I actually got a chance to ask Fr. Dcn. Psarev about that in person and I said, "it seems like they're going to canonize Sergius pretty soon."  And he said, "I don't doubt that they will."  And my question was, "how will you teach at Jordanville when we have all of our modern saints who are, — I mean there is no gray area here, again —  Sergius of sorry memory.  He is a traitor. He is an agent of the devil."  And he said, "Well, we will respect their decision, but we won't agree with it."

And that again, it's just we've returned to this pragmatic church.  This is the pragmatism of Vatican II in Orthodoxy.

Foods That Cause Sickness

WFPB (whole food plant based)

...."the food which caused the sickness..."

St. John Chrysostom
Hebrews 10:2-9
excerpt on verse 7


. . . . Tell me now, if when you have been well for forty days after a long illness, you should again give yourself up to the food which caused the sickness, have you not lost your former labor too?  For if natural things are changed, much more those which depend on choice.  As for instance, by nature we see, and naturally we have healthy eyes; but oftentimes from a bad habit [of body] our power of vision is injured. . . . .

Reading this part of the homily, I remembered an incident from sometime soon before covid.  One Sunday coffee hour after liturgy, an older catechumen complained about his high blood sugar and having to restrict himself eating sweets.  I told him that there is now a cure known for type II diabetes,  He was very interested to know it, but when he found out that the cure is the same as our strict Church fast, his excitement totally deflated.  Apparently, he considered the cure just as onerous as the disease.  

He asked how long will it take.  Well, it depends on the degree of compliance, but Dr. McDougall would take his diabetic patients on a 10-day cruise and have them off all medications by the end of the cruise.  His next question:  "Then, after that, can I go back to eating regular?"
 
What are these foods that cause illness?  It's clear to me it is the non-fasting foods: meat/dairy/oil.  (Wine is considered medicinal, — ok for serious illness and even mild indigestion.)  Our Church used to know this.  Somehow we have forgotten.  So many diseases are caused by the rich western-American diet:  including glaucoma which is caused by fats/oils, and non-diabetic (nuclear) cataracts which are caused by excess proteins.  Also look at the wording: ...when you have been well for forty days after a long illness...  This implies that fasting was normally used as a treatment for serious diseases.  Remember that in the old days, rich diets caused "king's diseases," like gout.  The peasants who ate roots and barley and potatoes did not get "king's diseases."  Our Church fasting fare is ancient wisdom which we have somehow forgotten, maybe we deliberately suppressed it.  It is interesting that St. John uses the word "injured" when speaking about the cause of vision impairment.  This is the same language the wfpb doctors are using — that we "injure" ourselves by eating fats/proteins, that we do violence to our organs and our brain. 

"Ecumemism" found in WFPB Truth Mission


 WFPB  =  Whole-Food-Plant-Based 
search engines understand this acronym 

Doesn't this sound familiar to us?
excerpt from vegsource video
"Kidneys Matter More Than Heart" 
Jeff Nelson speaking 






  This is the same principle as the ecumenism tactic the Antichrist uses against our Church.  A doctor who used to be trusted, Dr. Fuhrman, apostasized as an individual; and Forks Over Knives fell into "ecumenism" as a group.  A parallel comes to light when we understand that Orthodoxy is truth in religion; and that WFPB is truth in diet. 

   Orthodoxy is the only true salvation.  WFPB is the only true disease-reversal diet treatment.  Both of these truths are suffering from attack from a form of ecumenism.  Add a lie to the truth and it is no longer true.  Or, put a real diamond in with a bunch of fake diamonds, and the real diamond is effectively hidden.

   Orthodoxy is infiltrated by KGB and other servants of Antichrist.  Whole Plant is infiltrated by Big Pharma and other unethical marketers.  And/or, if not infiltrated, the integrity of a leader is compromised by worldly ambitions.  We can even see how the apostates and heretics in both the Church and WFPB have the same core sickness of soul —  lack love for truth.

2Forks Over Knives is Not What It Used to Be
     "What Happened to Forks Over Knives?"
     https://vegsource.com/forks-over-knives-not-what-used-to-be/

 
WFPB diet is distinct from veganism.  But it is not so easily distinguished from the Church fasting diet.  WFPB aligns very well, too well to be coincidence, with our Church strict fast as it was intended ("no oil" means no any kind of oil,).   Our Church strict fast traditionally is used for healing of diseases, we also include prayer and unction.*  Another parallel I've noticed, listening to Dr. Doug Lisle, a WFPB psychologist, is that the psychology involved with following the WFPB diet aligns well with our Church teachings on the passions.   The corresponding "ecumenism" factor is now a 3rd parallel I have noticed.

Get ready for Antichrist

Excerpt from ROCOR Encyclical Letter 1983
Orthodox Life magazine #33 1983 (6)
published also in St. Philaret of New York – His Collected Works 

orthodoxtraditionalist.com


...we have entered a period of history when the relatively imminent appearance of the Antichrist is very probable.  And this means that we must be spiritually prepared for it.

     What does such readiness mean?  It means working to strengthen one's spiritual powers so as to develop the capability of resisting the Antichrist's temptations.  Many of these  temptations — in the sense of a weakening of faith, divinization of mankind, betrayal of faith in the one, true Church for the sake of a humanistic religious unity in a pseudo-church — are already before us, preparing even Orthodox Christians for a readiness to follow the ways of the Antichrist.  But what can we do besides just observing the signs of the times?  We must develop in ourselves, in our flocks, in all Orthodox families a firm faith in the fact that the Lord has given us the good fortune to belong to the one, true Church, which, as at the very beginning of its existence is not defined by being a minority of the believers on earth, but which, although a minority is made up only of people who are faithful and devoted to this true Church.  This is not an easy task, and it demands firm faith, spiritual strength, and devotion to the truth in the midst of a surrounding world which is alien to Christ...

The temptations:
1. weakening of faith
2. divinization of mankind
3. betrayal by ecumenism

The remedy:
1. a clear concept of the One True Church
2. gratitude for being in the One True Church
3. firm devotion to the One True Church

The Cult of Control: Exposing Big Pharma & the Mormon Church w/ Dr. Bryan Ardis
.

.
In this jaw-dropping interview, Dr. Bryan Ardis rips the veil off the medical industry’s deceptive practices, drawing chilling parallels to his escape from the Mormon Church after uncovering its hidden truths. From a faith-shattering visit to a Mormon historical site in Illinois, to exposing Big Pharma’s cult-like control tactics—media manipulation, isolation, and even mandated clothing like masks—Dr. Ardis reveals how narratives are weaponized to enforce compliance. He dives into the shocking reality of vaccine “ingredients” like animal DNA, aborted fetal tissue, and toxins like polysorbate 80, designed to breach the blood-brain barrier and wreak havoc on God’s perfect design.

Dr. Ardis drops bombshell after bombshell, exposing drugs like Ozempic as venom-based poisons directly linked to cancer and blindness, and unmasking the pharmaceutical industry’s agenda to undermine natural immunity and deceive the nations. With unwavering faith in God’s pharmacy—nature itself—he empowers viewers to break free from Big Pharma’s lies, detox from harmful substances, and reclaim their health and spiritual freedom. This episode is a must-watch wake-up call for anyone ready to challenge deception and embrace the truth!
