Hey all, I wanted to make a general Orthodox thread to gain more knowledge and information about it because I'm very curious. Apologies if I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject just yet, I may not get all the definitions right.
I was born and raised a roman catholic (Lithuania is majority Catholics followed by Orthodox which are mostly followed by the Slavic residents) but soon lost interest and due to time and work, I never really got back into studying it. It's a custom here to attend church including what I think is baptism (with the oil on your head) and where you must confess your sins in the booth which I never went through with because I had to emigrate west.
Anyway, now with more free time on my hands, I've begun studying history, philosophy and politics which naturally led to the study of theology. Im on the fence with Christianity again but I'm not exactly sure I want to be a Catholic even though I was baptised. So I have a few general questions to gain some perspective.
What are your general thoughts on Orthodoxy?
Is it worth converting? If so, what is the process?
Lastly, Is there a specific version of the bible to buy or is the KJV one ok?
Would appreciate your thoughts since I would be very interested.
