Greek citizens are Moving into Macedonia

[julie]

Again, why even go to the Greek Orthodox Church for a baptism ? This is not something that happens to Macedonians only but anyone that wants to convert. You have to respect the Church you attend to. Even Catholics provide Christian names during conversion or baptism. I dont know what practices the Macedonian Church employs, but Im sure you have to respect their traditions to be a member. I think this goes for all religious organizations. Some people are overreaching.

GREEKS burnt down MACEDONIAN churches. Such wonderful christians the greeks. I suggest you start treading carefully. I have been reading your posts and you really are dribbling a lot of caca

Votron, ti milas re file mou? When you live within Greek Geo-political borders, and you are of the Orthodox Christian faith, one has no option other than to go to a church in which the cleric speaks Greek. Are we on the same page here buddy?

Now, seeings that it is an Orthodox Christian Church within a supposedly democratic country, one would think one could call ones child anything they liked - correct? No, that's totally wrong!

Is it a priests position to tell me I can't call my daughter Velika, if that is my wish, but must name her Vasiliki instead? And you support this dictatorial stance the Orthodox Church in Greece has taken!

Shame on you!

Hello Julie,

My parents sent us to Greek Sunday school and told us we were Greek. We learned Greek from our grandparents and parents. My sister has little connection to being Greek or wanting to be learn about her possible Macedonian background. She has married an American. I'm still trying to figure things out. Growing up in North Hills Pittsburgh we had a Greek community but there was no Macedonian connection for us.

Vicki a warm welcome also from me to this forum. You remind me more or less of myself. You will learn a lot from this forum, trust me

You do have options Mikail. If you dont like Greek Orthodox then dont go. Go to Macedonia one day and baptise your child there and completely disregard the Greek Church. Why is that not doable ?

John, I wonder what is your reaction as a Greek when you see these types of insults here ? Does it bother you at all ? Or have you completely turned your back on your Greek heritage ?

Seriously, what planet do you come from...?

[Voltron]

Seriously, why is that not an option ? Why the heck would I baptise my kid in an organization that has brought pain and suffering to my family ? Im sorry I dont get it.

There's such a poetic irony in that statement...classic

Voltron, as I have said a zillion times in this forum, I cannot delete just like that my entire life being raised and educated as a Greek. It feels also good though to finally realise one's true background and what was the language my grandparents were talking to me and to each other. That's why I'll say once again I'm Macedonian and proud.

[Voltron]

Who said you shouldnt be Macedonian or proud ? I just find it odd you can handle all of this and not flinch. Must be conditioning.

Voltron, Tell us why all the Macedonian living under the occupation of Greece have Greek Names..? there must be a reason why..
Wake up you idiot..
What would happen if they were to be baptised in the Republic of Macedonia..? Do you think they will be welcome back in Greece..?
How come there isn't any Macedonian churches for the Macedonian living in Greece..?
You're living LA LA LAND just like your History...

How about you watch this clip..

Being Greek - Greece

@10:15 Greek Orthodox Church: A Greek is anyone who is baptized

I don't understand what you mean that I should flinch. In which sense and towards whom??
