From your posts, it is clear that you have no actual information.
I think humans were made to experience all that life offers, not cloisture themselves away. I agree with your “sad” statement. A waste of a good and long life.
So you never met a nun you liked? But willing to put your self out there with statements only? No intelligent discourse? Very smart position if we do not want to answer? How to make a statement without truly knowing? But let’s state it anyway?
Judith, you know fully well there are historical and current records of such incidences....and that throuhgout the church History. But now as then catholics will generally always “demand” evidence from any who comment or have an opinion of such....which the next stage is to attack whatever the evidence is...via the author, the writer, the even or whatever the source is...it’s always going to be disputed regardless.
So it should not wonder you that I will not enduldge that game. I have stated my comments and am quite fine with doing so....without referencing the research or documentation from.
Perhaps you and others might rather present your research that this has NOT happened? that it’s all manufactured by so called anti-catholics? that unless the Pope says it’s so it’s a not? So prove that it’s not happened, isn’t happening....and then we’ll talk.
It is mind reading for you to tell me that I know something. In fact, I know NO SUCH THING. I do know nuns and priests; I have worked with convent nuns in a school setting and in a hospital setting. That is, worked right along side them. I have worshipped with them, gotten to know them, attended social functions with them, laughed with them, prayed with them, cleaned incontinent patients with them, given medications with them, sung with them, had them teaching my children — not only is it “mind reading” for you to tell me what I know, it is WRONG.
Then you post: “So it should not wonder you that I will not enduldge that game. I have stated my comments and am quite fine with doing so....without referencing the research or documentation from.”
I don’t care why you have no proof, I just observe that all you have done is state falsehood. When someone tells a falsehood, it is not a game to demand that they either prove the falsehood, or cease.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Perhaps I should have said ‘some know’...thank you for reminding me better to frame comments not personal.
Well then you might google “cloisture abuse”....or you could the ‘Vatican website’, where Rome attests to the problems. Then you might write the Pope and their counsels, and voice you’re complaint they are mistaken as well....never can tell your imput might set the record straight from your perspective.
CAWW “”conclusions based on critical thinking along with extensive research.”
JG ; “ Really? You figured this all out by yourself with this great research you do?”
Are you claiming you did the research because by your statements, I get that YOU did the research. If that isn’t so, please clear it up.
Relying on OTHERS research is not reseach per se unless you are attempting to prove a statement or promote a theory or new fact.
If your opinion is simply on some reading, I wouldn’t quantify that as “research.”
” You can rebutt all you want but it has no bearing on my opinion”
Ah. So you have an opinion. Not research. Thanks for clearing that up for us.
You know what they say about opinions don’t you?
Just trying to help out another poster find a beginning... the Internet has ome fasinating discoveries....but my research and sources remain that...mine....and will not be presented on this forum.
“It is a complete mystery to me, why you would tell me to look for evidence to prove the false statements you have posted.”
What can you expect from the anti’s:
That’s the last fallback on a bad argument: Prove me right.
A beginning of what? Research into what? Are you saying your "internet research" is your intellectual property? If so, we need a lolcat or two around here.
It's interesting when a poster makes a FALSE STATEMENT and then says something about "research" and "sources" supposedly found on a google search but then kept private...
Internet research.
Sure.
The Anti- books and anti-site are so brainwashing to common sense.
Nun holds holds World Record: 84 years of Cloistered Life!
Somebody better tell Anna from the Bible.
Luke 2: 36 And there was a prophetess, [n]Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in [o]years and had lived with her husband seven years after her [p]marriage, 37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers. 38 At that very [q]moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking
**cloisture**
What kind of a word is that?
Gee sounds like another name for a Nun. What a wasted way of Life. What no second husband. Another wasted life in the Lord. Well let's chalk it up to History these wasted Lives. Just terrible! How many Saints of note are Nuns just like this Anna. The one that has influenced me has been Sister Faustina. The Divine Mercy Chaplet has warped speed G forced my prayer life. I am more in the Spirit than any other time in my life since this Prayer.
Praise Jesus!!
I would think if the Vatican itself heavily uses the Internet for searches, and as well a topic they might be researching, it should be good enough for it's members wouldn't you think? Much of the Vatican's library is accessible from the Internet for study etc. You might try to utilize that...very interesting reads once you wade thru the clutter.
“**cloisture**

It’s the sequel to Waterworld.
In this sequel, the kid with the map on her back stays on the only dry land, Mt. Everest’s peak, and reinvents the Rule of Benedict.
