organwerke Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Wow!! Life sometimes is really strange and mysterious things happen! Last night I dreamt about a sister friend of mine (whom I haven't seen in a long time), and today seeing one of the video Deusdedit posted, I saw my friend and the video of her story in the related links that appear at the end of youtube videos!!!!! but after the vision of the video, when I logged in again, it disappeared and now I can't no longer see it! Really strange coincidences and funny jokes happen when internet and religious persons are involved!!! Edited November 12, 2010 by organwerke
Klaudi87 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 [quote name='Lilllabettt' timestamp='1289565975' post='2186692'] I think from the perspective of communities that do this, acne is a health issue, and Sisters should use medicine to treat it the same way they would any other health issue. Plucking eyebrows is the same ... some people get ingrown hair if they don't pluck! There is also the wish for Sisters to be "becoming" of their state in life. The Church says what Sister's wear should be "becoming." Not pretty. But "becoming," appropriate for the dignity of their vocation. In that case ,something that makes a Sister look childish (acne) or untidy and unkempt (a unabrow!) would be dealt with. I have also heard the reason given that religious life is countercultural and unusual enough that Sisters feel an obligation not to make it seem unnecessarily weird or strange. So Sisters take care of themselves so as to not cause an unnecessary stumbling block for people. [/quote] Oh ok I see
