Jonathan Jackson “How I became Orthodox” Holywood actor, recipient of five Emmy Awards, at an interview given in “Pemptousia” during his recent visit to the Monastery of Vatopedi – Mount Athos, speaks about how he became Orthodox.
Saker Message:
First we make all Latin America orthodox, then we come for the Poles
Vatican puts on some red lights and competes with Thailand’s Pattaya
as a travel destination for lady-boy-lovers.
I imagine this was meant tongue-in-cheek but there is already a large Orthodox Church in Poland. 800,000 people, according to Wikipedia. They even changed back to the proper, Canonical Julian calendar from the mess that is the reformed Gregorian. There is hope for Poland yet!
Truth is very powerful.
Marvelous testimonial by Mr. Jackson.
A Journey to Christ.
The intelligence coneheads of the planet understand that the Orthodox can not be made to return to Catholicism, so the ecumenical movement must be run in reverse, with wayward Western Christians encouraged to return to the fold via a well organized counter-reformation, of sorts.
The theological errors of Western Christendom have caused it to disintegrate, yet, what is offered up by Orthodoxy is no more threatening to the Zionist Power Elite, so they believe, therefore they are engineering globo-Orthodoxy for a worldwide class of worker-slaves, to be presided over by essentially Darwinist Naturalist technocrats, and all under the umbrella of a Zionist Brahmin-Abrahamite Priestly class of absolute rulers.
There are no other governments but theocracies, and the times in between.
Our subject is an actor, and although he may be sincere his performance is an aspect of a grand ecumenical psychological operation, supported unfortunately by Putin, as when he ordered the Russian Patriarch to meet with the Jesuit Pope in Cuba.
As promoted by Hollywood in various movies, a new global caste system is being constructed, to keep everyone in their place.
In the meantime we are being deconstructed psychologically, by the Donald Trumps and Nikki Haleys of this world, to be delivered into a New World Order, like slowly boiled frogs, and after some terrible genocidal crisis, to the social positions we are assigned.
You offer no proof for your claims. The Orthodox Church, being the Body of Christ, is the mortal enemy of Zionism/Talmudism/Satanism. This is why the Satanists have tried, in every generation, to destroy the Orthodox Church and Orthodox Christian countries. Nonetheless, regardless of the persecution, we survive and flourish. The God we worship triumphed over sin, death, and the devil. We have nothing to fear.
this ‘Where-wolf’ surely talks like ‘Twilight’:
“Orthodox can not be made to return to Catholicism”
and I ask when did it ever leave it?
the rest of the comment is just bad-mouthing Orthodoxy,
just as propagandist comments say China/Russia are no
better than the Empire – pure trolling
and yes, you in the West are fast-tracking to a neo-feudal system,
but not the East. What caste do you think you will be assigned to?
There is a small group of Greek Orthodox people in the american television/film industry who have managed to become very popular, despite being somewhat outsiders and a minority. Very mainstream, uncontroversial lot. Not heard any of them who have “rocked the boat”, though, like Oliver Stone has.
Wonderful to watch a video with the love of the sacred so sincerely expressed.
So good to hear someone say he had long “loved God” and was simply looking for the appropriate formal way to honor this fact. The fact comes first. It’s built in. Even atheists feel it, and find whatever words they need to give it a framework for expression.
Religion comes after the fact. The love of “God” is the primordial feeling, something we wake up with in this life, and struggle to make sense of. Call it what you want, but the feeling is real and innate – a gift from creation, one could say.
Tragic the one who does not feel this, or who feels this and denies it for lack of words to make it fit one’s sense of self or sense of worldly reality.
We live in an age when these expressions are quite rare. Excellent to find it here, and thank you, Saker, for the chance to encounter one person’s testimony of one person’s experience of the sacred and ultimate
Grieved, I too deeply feel that sense of love for God, and it seems to me that Orthodoxy is the only framework available for me to express such sacred love. Unfortunately for us in the West, finding proper Orthodox churches is difficult. I was a Roman Catholic, and my last visit to a Roman Catholic Church, seeking Holy Communion, left me in emplty and in tears. The washed and hollowed out nature of a modern Roman Catholic mass is a terrible and horrible thing and it’s getting worse. But that’s the nature of the evil isn’t it? To remove all the good from the world and replace it with desperation, folly, and self-aggrandizement.
Here are two audio interviews (with transcripts) with Jonathan Jackson regarding his journey to Orthodox Christianity.
