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 work of this blog is to critically expose the lies and delusions of selected internet personalities who pretend to be Orthodox or think they are Orthodox when they are not. 
    The methods are mostly solid evidence and straightforward testimony, presented satirically.

ri•dic•u•lous
adjective
deserving or inviting derision or mockery; absurd.
"When you realize how ridiculous these scenarios are, you will have to laugh."
synonyms: laughable, absurd, comical, funny, hilarious, risible, droll, amusing, farcical, silly, ludicrous;


What is ridiculous?  Ridiculous are the groups out there calling themselves "Orthodox" who are hardly anything Orthodox.  There is a point where apostates and vigantes cross the line over into the absurd, when they may even have become aggressive or ill-willed.

KFTU addresses certain examples of those that have crossed that line over into "anti-orthodoxy".   Some of the address is just straightforward information, but most of it is satire.  Satire is not appreciated by everyone, some people tend to see it as sarcasm.  But there is a difference.  Sarcasm has a deriding tone.  Satire is more of an exposé.  Satire exaggerates the ridiculous.

KFTU is one man's way of expressing his incredulity over the audacity, the circus, the theatrics of anti-orthodoxy.  The mockery anti-orthodoxy has made of our Faith calls for response.  There is much intellectual material out there written in defense of true Orthodoxy, but not everyone can understand it or has time to read it.  Also, most of what is written addresses absurdities from the past, such as the "Living Church".  The subjects of KFTU satirical memes are the absurdities of today, such as the vigante Milan synod and the charismatics calling themselves "Orthodox".   Those who consider this manner of expression uncivilized will not be impressed.  But the rest of us think it is hilarious. 

(Blogger will not censure satire.  Even if it is tasteless.)

  1. I wonder how long it's going to take Suaiden to find this and write another cranky post.

  2. I predict he will find it right away. He should, though, be embarrassed to write anything, because it would show again how obsessed he is with what we do. If he would mind his own business, and conduct his business honestly, then he would not even be in our field of vision.
