Yeah. Wouldn't work. I'm way too selfish to live a life of service.
-
yeah I'd love to become a monk have a lot of vices and would be so happy if I could get red of them. Doubt it would happen but hey who knows.
-
I've made comments about becoming a nun. Than realized they probably frown on non-christians becoming nuns just to get away from society.
-
There are times I've imagined running away from life and living a life of silence and solitude, but for completely selfish reasons!
-
What! and not be able to be promisucious! NEVER!
-

No. Celibacy is one of the biggest curses in history. We all can see the results in these days and the Vatican continues to cover-up the perpetrators. My 2 cents.
-
No, I can't say that it has.
-
I pretty much do..well except for the religious side of it..lol :)
-
every day

Yes, I have seriously concidered becoming a monk and devotiong my self to God. I came pretty close to going in to the seminary 2 years ago and decided to go to college instead.
-
I have attended seminary classes in the past, but was forced to abandon that pursuit due to personal issues that required my immediate full attention at the time. I have been contemplating monistary living as of late because even though I'm born again and have accepted Jesus as my all sufficiant substitution for all my shortcomings I still feel a lack of peace with life. Hopefully a more structured devotional regiment will help God to see my sincerity in love for Him. What's the point of being freed from the law of sin and death if your still looked down upon every time you come short. That's how I continuously feel right now and I need that to end. I love God and want Him to really know it.
-
Yes, it has.
-
Yes...when I was a child...eventually I decided it wasn't for me. But retreating to a convent for a few weeks is something I still think about.
-
As I am a monk, yes.
-
The closest I came, was wanting to live in a castle with a moat!
-
Yes, I would love to live a life of contemplation where someone else prepares my food and I have a free place to sleep.
-
Yes!
-
Yes! A monk!
-
No, that one has never crossed my mind.

Yes, I had a calling to religious life when I was about 17 but squashed it flat as was totally ignorant on how to actually implement it and follow that call. No one in my peer group was even religious never mind considering a monastic life. I used to go to church alone in secret at that age. I have of late come to regret that decision, not that I would change my children now obviously but there is some sense of a missed vocation. I am in my postulancy [for want of a better word] year of becoming an Benedictine Oblate which I can do and live in the secular world with my family. I think that this is going some way towards regressing the balance of that missed vocation in my youth [i'm 46 now]. If I had my time again I would certainly give it more consideration and look into the possibility before dismissing it out of hand quite so quickly. Hope this helps you. Every blessing CC x

no, but I'm Jewish, and I once thought about studying to be a cantor...
-
No. I'd be setting myself up for failure. I like sex way too much.
-
Hey just cause I'm not getting any doesn't mean I'm willing to give it up forever.
-
Yes I have. I am a teenager and I am seriously thinking about becoming a nun and devoting my life to God. I would love to do that one day. It would totally be awesome to worship him everyday and just surrender everything to Him!!
-
Oooooh the irony of your question... It's only fairly recently that the Catholic church managed to tame down the free for all monastaries and nunneries. "Get thee to a nunnery!" Specialists in Shakespeare's bawdy language are fond of noting that "nunnery" was common Elizabethan slang for "brothel," http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/get-thee-nunn-ry

I wanted to be a cloistered Carmelite nun until my teens. I would have preferred to be a Trappist monk. I think this world needs a lot of prayer. +4
-
I might consider the life of a nun if the other nuns were young and pretty.
-
It was a passing thought when I was about 9.
