You should get to know an Orthodox priest and direct your questions to him so that you could get consistent answers. Asking them here is like asking a committee of folks who aren\'t aware of where each other, let alone yourself, is coming from. A priest who is a spiritual father, try the parish nearest you, is your best resource for resolving your confusion. Whatever opinions you receive here could, I\'m afraid, have the same effect as all those articles--confusion.
