Brother Nathanael Thread


While he's made many insightful points in the past, I had to stop listening to him, because he's become unhinged, vulgar, and frankly un-Christlike in the last months. And yes, his antics do cause the undiscerning to paint the Orthodox Church in a bad light. This runs not only the risk of driving off those seeking Christ and the Orthodox Church, but also driving away those already in the Orthodox Church who don't want to be likened to him. I agree with the Archbishop on this.
 
If Nathaniel cannot obey, then he does not belong in the Church. Doesn't really matter if Kyrill is right or wrong, but, I agree with Kyrill because there is no point to incurring a pointless hate speech lawsuit. The laws of America favor Talmuds with "hate speech," so there really isn't any choice but to also obey those laws.
 
I went to look at the post linked on the previous page and below that are dozens of hateful and unhinged attacks on the Church and Clergy. I will pray for him and I cannot judge him personally but I also cannot condone his behavior. We don't really know the full story but based on his antics it seems clear to me that Archbishop Kyrill made the correct decision.
 
It amuses me how many folks defend Brother Nathanael. They are all against the Jews then one puts on a cassock and they hang on to their every word.

The guy is a lunatic and not a good look for the church at all. I would not be surprised if he is an outright subversive.
 
I suspected he was an infiltrator, he did an interview with crypto-jew Adam (((Greene))) who larps as a neopagan, and Greene had him cornered on the whole Chabad connection, which Nathanael weaseled his way out of with his adept jewmantics. He claimed that him and some Russian rabbi's go way back from before his conversion, yet he still keeps in touch with them and more was implied. I used to like to listen to his videos a lot, but the more I study jewish behavior and mannerisms, the more I see it conflicting with the grace of Christian living and being clean. After Baptism, a jew will struggle the most with their ingrained neurosis. There were unsubstantiated rumors about the guy, I won't spread them here, but they weren't pretty.

However, one has to remember that it was forbidden if not proscribed in European villages for centuries for lay people to even converse with a jew, for doing so would have these innocent dove-like people question their faith. The priests of yesteryear, especially before the late 1800s, would all have sermonized similar to him with vitriol against the jews just without the semitic irritiability that Nathanael carries within his genes. Perhaps if he would have went about his videos more calmly and more condemning of the so-called Christians that compromise with jews politically other priests would have followed suit. After all, the Church has to clean up its own house before dealing with it's enemies on the outside.
 
So what actually happened?
ROCOR issued a statement that essentially distanced themselves with his views. People have connected this with his simping for a girl on X but its likely unrelated and probably more to do with his general unhinged ranting on political topics.

It seems his Bishop told him to stop posting online or he would kick him out of ROCOR and Bro Nat basically said he would leave before being kicked out (this last part is afaik just based on a post from Bro Nat, nothing seems confirmed on the side of Archbishop Kirill)
