OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 These colors are so drab. Can I wear my hot pink tights? Can I keep my nose ring? I don't like Sister (insert name here). Do I really have to live with her?
brandelynmarie Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) What do you mean I can't bring all six cats with me? :kitten: :kitten: :kitten: :kitten: :kitten: :kitten: :nun3: Edited August 5, 2014 by brandelynmarie
Credo in Deum Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 What do you mean I can't bring all six cats with me? Probably wouldn't be a deal breaker if the person wanted to join a Franciscan community. :hehe:
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Can I bring my pet snakes? I don't like spiritual reading so can I read Harry Potter instead? Is it OK if I stay up until midnight? I can't sleep earlier than that.
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 What's with the Grand Silence? You mean I can't listen to music or talk on the phone? Can I bring my laptop with me to watch Netflix?
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Do I really have to cut off all my long hair when I get the veil? How will I braid it or put it up? Can I go to the mall on weekends? I'm not here to be a nun forever. I'm just here long enough to get a free education.
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 This food is so boring. Can we have Filet Mignon or lobster instead?
Feankie Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I like to get tattoos to mark milestones in my life. Will you let me go to the tat parlor when I become a Novice. I'm envisioning the community motto intertwined with some flowers, my new name or something like that. My back or ankle would be a good place, no?!
nikita92 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 "Can I bring a certain pillow? I am a stomach,(side,back) sleeper and if I don't have the proper support while sleeping, my neck will cause me problems that interfer with every day activities"
AveMariaPurissima Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I've slept with this teddy bear since I was little -- can I bring it with me when I enter?
chrysostom Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 If I profess perpetual vows does that mean I don't have to pay alimony and child support anymore? I can teach you all so much! :) LOL
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 "Can I bring a certain pillow? I am a stomach,(side,back) sleeper and if I don't have the proper support while sleeping, my neck will cause me problems that interfer with every day activities" Actually, this doesn't seem like an unreasonable request if done for the right reasons and in the right setting (privately with VD or Superior). If you get a letter from your doctor, they might allow you to bring it.
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Do I really have to give up caffeine? If I don't have 5 cups of coffee, I can't function. Your Sister chef doesn't know how to cook. Can I bring my personal chef? Can I bring my DVD player?
chrysostom Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I have a girlfriend in town. Just letting you guys know that I am also discerning marriage. Don't worry, though - I'll definitely make a decision before professing perpetual vows. I think the chapel you offer Mass in is not very pretty. I have some ideas for how to improve it. I think you might attract more vocations that way - you're lucky you at least have me and the other guy, Dave.
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 The chapel is so bare! You need some bright colors and pictures to spruce it up. How about Thomas Kinkade? Do I really have to take the vow of poverty? How will I ever buy anything? Does anyone really take the vow of chastity anymore? Can't we just omit that in case I decide I want to get married?
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Can I wear my diamond necklace? I need a gin and tonic every night before bed. Do you have a bar?
chrysostom Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I joined because I like your beer. How many pints do we get to drink per day?
