<2021-11-07T14:11:44.000Z> JSDorn: I'm kinda curious if you will oblige, but are you located in an EST state? 
<2021-11-07T14:11:47.000Z> JSDorn: I am
<2021-11-07T14:18:34.000Z> Robert_Edwardly: I just moved to the midwest. I was in (large blue area)
<2021-11-07T14:20:01.000Z> JSDorn: Ah, okay so we are not close.
<2021-11-07T14:24:40.000Z> JSDorn: I had no idea how we would have triangulated further than this so maybe it's for the best
<2021-11-08T15:12:54.000Z> Robert_Edwardly: I definitely met Stella irl but that was before Biden got elected lol
<2021-11-09T06:19:46.000Z> JSDorn: I have only been able to connect with our kind of guys through church, which I suppose is plenty good on it's own
<2021-11-09T15:34:49.000Z> Robert_Edwardly: More or less same
<2022-03-14T03:54:39.000Z> Robert_Edwardly: Please don't tell anyone this but I undertook the process of becoming a catechumen in the orthodox church tonight.
<2022-03-14T04:01:20.000Z> JSDorn: 😲
<2022-03-14T04:01:28.000Z> JSDorn: Wow bro. Congrats
<2022-03-14T04:01:35.000Z> JSDorn: I'll keep it under my hat.
<2022-03-14T04:02:05.000Z> JSDorn: But I've been there. It's a big deal, especially for family.
<2022-03-14T04:02:17.000Z> JSDorn: If it means anything I'm proud of you
<2022-03-14T04:03:14.000Z> JSDorn: Not even just because you chose orthodoxy but because this sort of thing takes a lot of courage 
<2022-03-14T04:06:21.000Z> Robert_Edwardly: It doesn't even mean I've shifted my views on monergism much is the thing. I just can't deal with American protestants as an in group anymore. And I feel a draw to the liturgy. It's long road as a catechumen. I need grace to hear and wisdom to choose my doctrinal path
<2022-03-14T04:09:43.000Z> JSDorn: Your heart knows more than you head. It happened to me too.
<2022-03-14T04:10:37.000Z> JSDorn: I think you already understand what you need. Patience and humility.
<2022-03-14T04:20:22.000Z> Robert_Edwardly: I do
