1. My friend who I showed this video to: "Do you know any people like this?"

   Me: "Well of course… they're me"

2. From my interactions with various Orthodox Deus Vultists, I just tell them that I pray that God keep them in their high place of judgment that allows them to judge me, that may they always be better than I, and that may they keep their spirit of joy over my sin, since Jesus Christ only died for them and no one else.

3. Great video, other than the music.

5. interesting, thanks.

6. I agree with all views that you describe, they make me more or less. I hope that I will get to change my relationship with God in the future.

7. I was initially interested because the Church seemed to be the most traditional, conservative, and least philo-semitic of any Christian sect. Of course my love for the Church is much deeper now.

8. Wow! The castaways are the dominant population of english speaking orthodox converts in our parish.

9. Very creative… we all know these characters because we know ourselves.

10. Haha I'm activist but of course the Lord is all-knowing.

11. I am closest to the Refugee. I couldn’t ( and still can’t) stand Calvinism. Eventually, I found the Christian Faith that disagreed with Calvinism the most and migrated towards Orthodoxy. A Rubin with a Prosperity Theologist who allowed unqualified members to be Sunday School Teachers. I accepted my status as a perpetual visitor until a few years later, the Priest told me that I was ready. Because the Priest (and possibly the Bishop) deemed that the website I maintained for the Church was equivalent to the work I had to do as a Cathecumen, I was allowed (and asked) to join outright.

12. I'm a permanent Stargazer XD

13. I'll be perfectly honest, I got interested in christianity – first Catholicism, then Orthodoxy, as a deus vultist and to a lesser extent a wifehunter (though that was more in the back of my mind). However, at some point, it was like a switch flicked. That bitterness, anger, and fear went away, and my attention snapped to the scriptures. My advice to the Orthodox is not to turn those people away, but to catechize them very well.

14. Wait a minute. Not all crazy people in monasteries are clairvoyant? Now I have to rethink this. Thanks.

15. So in other words as you see it the Orthodox Church gets conformed by its members to the world? 😱😅

16. Much of the same holds true to to Protestant congregations. Jesus gave us parables of the sheep and goats, then the wheat and tares. I like how you’ve developed the human behaviors among the goats and tares. Peace be to you in the name of our Lord Yeshua Hamashiach.

17. monarchy was definitely better than what we have now.

18. I think I am a floatsum…

19. I'm definitely a Deus Vultist.

20. Goodness are we not all guilty in a way ?This video helps us to search our motives !

21. Помаже Бог брате Бојане! на 13:19 минуту си напоменуо да би овај тип људи заштитио цркву од екуменизма. Тако и треба, јер је православље истина, не требамо прљати истину са лажима. Те лажи су углавном "хришћани" који су отпали од истине 1054. године.

    Свако добро !

22. What's wrong with liking your church and what's wrong with a catholic or protestant converting and still doing their prayers or hymns and you know sometimes you need truth and you get tired of false teaching oh and evangelicals becoming Orthodox will bring more people in why because they will knock on doors to convert people also Orthodoxy is cool are you gonna say it's not

23. This is an amazing, amazing video! No one could put it together better!

24. as a chilean, you got me dying on the easter pun!
    fun fact chileans call Santa claus "the easter old man" and fruit cake "easter bread"
    don't ask why

25. Please pray for me, I am an ex Roman Catholic, ex gang member, ex Protestant, ex nondenominationalist, ex reformed, ex Orthodox Catachumen who still loves his sins and is kind of but not really trying to repent of them yet is flirting with Orthodoxy because God is calling me to repentance and I believe it is the correct faith to worship God in and serve Him in as it has been since it’s beginning when Jesus Christ started it.
    I have said I love God and my neighbor but, it is merely words without actions (demonic faith) and I realize when compared to the Saints of the church in reality I am not a Christian but instead a hypocrite. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on us all! 🙏

26. This video made me really look inward at myself. I converted to Orthodoxy because I felt lost with my current church and felt like the non-denominational church made me become fairly delusional with it. Once I did become Orthodox, I wanted to plant myself and make sure I wasn't a poster. I refused to take communion that isn't Orthodox and I don't really pray with heterodox Christians. But I definitely needed a video like this as a check up to make sure if I had a loosened root. Thanks.

27. I LOST IT AT THE MYRRHBEARERS God I wish there was a similar video for Traditional Catholics.

28. Love the spy vs spy reference!!

29. is it wrong to use the old way of making sign of the cross?

30. Lol the cast-away is kinda me with the anglican church, but I converted because is like catholicism but more reformed, I like the theology and ideas, plus I love the UK and British history, anyway, thanks Boja for teaching me so much about the Lord, Jesus, Saints and the Most Holy Mother🤧🤙❣️❣️💟
