while we're under the danger of lockdown under our rino governor

We have a dyke lefty mayor in a republican state

Nebraska

oh

I was born in America to Finnish parents and lived there for 6 years

two chad states

except SD got rid of columbus day so might as well call it StD

It was at an Orthodox Church back in Finland where I became Orthodox and baptized

@orthodoxhardliner i see

hey u happen to know a half finnish half mexican guy named peter

hes ortho too

I don't know him

But I know there is a growing interest in the Finnish countryside in Orthodoxy

yep

i know 2 converts

I do know though they want to still keep as far away from Russia as possible

lel tru

I'm among that crowd who wants to keep as far from them as possible in relations

didnt the finn govt after ww2 soft persecute ROCOR for being russian

they did smthn of the kind i think

Not really because it wasn't an Russian Orthodox war against Finland. The Soviets treated the Orthodox Christians appallingly

true

There were a decent number of Orthodox defectors and Azeri defectors.

i know that

wait azeris?

darmn

Yeah there were Azeris conscripted to fight and a decent amount defected

My great grandfather who fought in the war told me about that fact

I only mention Azeri defectors because they were basically the one non Orthodox group who saw defectors to Finland

ye fucking muslims

I don't support Azerbaijan goes without saying but the Azeri defectors did give information to our side which helped repel the attempt to conquer the whole of Finland
