Eleventh Doctor Q&A

[Eleventh Doctor]

I more interested in the cold than the snow

Favorite season is Fall, not too cold and the leaves

[aragtaghooligan]

Duuuuude yes! Toronto isn't super cold or snow something about bring so close to a great lake and all the tall buildings getting in the way of the wind - just a heads up for if you do go there. What is your fav holiday? Mine is Thanksgiving which we have in the Fall here and near ish my bday and its so pretty and simple just food, family, and thanks to God instead of all the hupla of other holidays.

[Eleventh Doctor]

Mine is Pascha, also know as Easter, for my church Pascha is the high point of the year. The 40 days of Lent before is a time of reflection and somber prayer. Then the week before is known as Holy Week where we have services every day that walk us through the last week of Christ's life before the Crucifixion. Then Saturday evening at midnight we have the Paschal service which lasts till around 3, it is an incredibly moving service that celebrates Christ's Resurrection. Then immediately after we have a huge feast until about 5.

[Miss Friendship]

Is that the way the early Christians celebrated?

[Eleventh Doctor]

Good question, I know that at the very beginning Easter and Christmas were celebrated together since tradition holds that Christ died on the same day He was born. But then they separated into different holidays as the Church calendar developed more. By around the middle of the 2nd century we have historical records indicating universal observance of the holiday in its current form. The 40 days of Lent were historically a time for new members who were being baptized to be preparing for entry into the church and over time the rest of the church started practicing Lent with them.

[aragtaghooligan]

Hmm that's all very interesting I never liked Easter it made me anxious

Sorry I have no more questions

[Miss Friendship]

Do you prefer car or pick up truck?

How often do you witness?

Does your church actively witness as a group? If so, how?

[Eleventh Doctor]

Car, I've never seen the appeal of a pick up truck.

The young adult group that I'm a part of usually works at a homeless shelter about once a month. Sometimes we do other outreach events as they arise. My church as a whole hosts several groups open to the public on mental illness and depression. We also have a Wednesday night education class open to inquirers.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by witnessing though, can you define it?

[Miss Friendship]

Car, I've never seen the appeal of a pick up truck.

Are you a true man then? I'm just kidding.

Yes, you understood perfectly what I meant by witnessing and answered my two questions in one.

What color do you think were Jesus's eyes?

What was your favorite thing to do as a child?

More than one computer? What do you think of tablets?

Apple or Android?

[Eleventh Doctor]

I have no idea, what do you think?

My favorite thing to do as a child was read. I would read a book a day as a child, a couple hundred pages.

I have three laptops and a desktop. I think tablets are neat I just don't have a need for one right now.

Apple, I have an iPhone and I've never used an Android.

[Miss Friendship]

You don't know? I have always been told brown most likely, which is sad...

Really? That's exactly what I did too. Except not quite a whole book a day....

Are you a fast reader?

Are all your computers apple? How do you use three laptops at once?

[Eleventh Doctor]

Why is that sad?

I am a fast reader, I'm trying to finish reading the last 20% of the Idiot by Dostoevsky right now.

None of my computers are Apple. One is my travel laptop, one is hooked up to a projector in the basement, and the third is my backup laptop.

[Miss Friendship]

Because my eyes are blue and not brown. (Yes I already know I am weird)

Is that a long book? It's Russian, what's the plot?

What's your favorite computer game? Ever played Sim City?

Would you rather by a game where you win by chance or by brains?

[Eleventh Doctor]

It is long, 656 pages. It's about a Russian prince returning to St. Petersburg after being in an asylum in Switzerland for several years.

My favorite computer game is probably X-Com which is a game about an alien invasion of earth. I played Sim City and all the Sim games growing up, some of my favorite were Sim Ant and Sim Tower.

I would prefer more brains but I don't mind some elements of chance.

[Miss Friendship]

Hmmm sounds intriguing. A new book or a few years old?

Do you like trampolines?

[Eleventh Doctor]

It was written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1869, so a few years old.

I do not

[Tarol]

Not trampolines.

What is your favorite Orthodox hymn?

And (if they are different) what is your favorite Protestant hymn?

[Eleventh Doctor]

My favorite Orthodox hymn is Rejoice O Bethany, we sing this during Lent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rju5GyVtfnQ

There is no overlap between Orthodox and Protestant hymns so my favorite Protestant hymn is Amazing Grace.

[Wakko]

Why don't you like trampolines? =o

[Tarol]

That song sounds really fun!!! Chants are really cool. ^_^ Do you usually sing them in English?

Can you use any other Bible translation than the Orthodox one?
