Is it a bad idea to become a nun? How hard would it be to become one? I'm 23 and have given up on the idea of finding a soul mate or whatever. I'm capable of finding a boyfriend and have had boyfriends before but finding someone who is a pious catholic, who will wait till marriage, and I could raise a nice family with seems too hard to ask for.
Is it a bad idea to become a nun? How hard would it be to become one...
Really? No one like that goes to the church nearest to you?
Just talk to any priest about it, they should be able to tell you the details of how to become a nun.
I live near a nunnery that's taken a vow of silence. Shits scary. Good luck, talk to a priest

>Is it a bad idea to throw your life away?
Were you a slut?
No, I've not done much.
Not particularly, at least ones who are single.
Wew, have you tried using some dating site specifically targeted for Christians? There's some pious people saving themselves for marriage out there, you just have to find them.
>Girl... I am a pious Catholic.

Also I know I completely screwed up the green text. I just got off of a 10 hr work shift.
>wait till marriage
Good luck with that. Nobody with any sense wants to do something so damaging to a relationship.
Those definitely aren't the reasons to become a nun.
>pious catholic
Yes
>who will wait till marriage
Yes
>I could raise a nice family
No
Two out of three is all I am able to offer you.
Are you a virgin?
Holy shit this guy is desperate
I'm not. Just curious why a non virgin would become a nun.
John 14:15-26 KJV
If ye love me, keep my commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. [21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. [22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. [25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. [26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Are you a retard? Taking on a cute of celibacy is hardly a big deal if you don't know what you're missing out on. Do you assume all priests are virgins too? Christ almighty.
Non virgins shouldn't be in the chruch.
Interesting
So you're retarded, cool
Nah. Bible frowns on whores.
Please quote the part of the Bible that says you cannot be a member of the clergy once having slept with someone. I'll be waiting for your response eagerly.
I'm waiting for either CoLDS or "but my feefees"
Why don't you google it then retard. Plently of passages about non virgin women.
So if it's that easy, it will be simple for you to find one of these passages about non virgin women not being able to join the clergy, obviously.
I mean, we both know the reason you're not quoting something so simple is because it doesnt exist as Jesus had a literal whore in his clergy, but please feel free to prove yourself.
How can I get in contact with you?
The "hurrdurr google it" defense, when you said something retarded and realize you can't back it up.
And the immediate and obvious silence when they get called out on it, too
Whores get raped in hell.
I mean there are other reasons then the fact that I can't find someone. I wouldn't mind dedicating my life to helping others and praying to God. I'm not going to have sex until I'm married and if marriage isn't in sight then I guess I should do something else productive.
I'm not posting my contact info on here.
Aaaand he squeaks under pressure to the tune of "but my feefees".
I'm pretty religious, you're a retard who tries to grasp at straws when offended.
I don't mind if the other person isn't a virgin. As long as they repent for their sin and are willing to wait to have sex again with me when we're married. However, catholic men who I've stumbled across in my area would not wait for marriage in general.
Why exactly though? If you want to talk then you can just post your info.
I know it seems hard to find anyone that meets your standards, but it's honestly not unreasonable. Unless you've got some uncompromising & unreasonable physical standards too you're not telling us about. I personally know several guys who would meet your criteria.
Oh and btw, my own sister wanted the same thing, but she ended up falling in love with an atheist. However, he loved her too and he ended up converting to Catholicism on his own and they go to church every Sunday now.
Have faith in God and above all be patient.
I understand. I am a trainwreck of a human anyway. I hope you find someone though.
HEY BABYGIRL IM THA RICKSTER AND YOU CAN BE A NUN AND WORSHIP AT THIS ALTAR BABY COME ON OVER I GOT CHIPS, DIP, WEED, MOUNTAIN DEW AND BEER ONLY HABIT YOU GOTTA WEAR IS MY TEE SHIRT BABY HELL YEAH HIT ME UP
I can't get a job. I don't deserve you.
Very few people want to wait until marriage because it simply makes no sense and only has negatives, no positives.
HELL NO YOU DONT FAGGOT
Don't say that about yourself please. Try to be kind and patient to yourself, you deserve that. Just because there are certain circumstances in your that are not going well it does not mean that you're a mess as a person because of it.
Thank you though user. I do hope you'll feel better and life gets back on track for you. You'll be able to find a job eventually, it look me a really long time to find one myself.
I don't think I'm too picky. Physically, I just want someone who I don't find repulsive, like someone very fat and unhygienic. I have tried to settle for non catholics before but I didnt want to pressure someone to convert and they didn't feel comfortable with the idea that I would want to raise a catholic family.
That story with your sister is very heartwarming though. Thanks for sharing that. I'll do my best.
Thanks.
You should become a nun if you are really interested in being a nun. Don't become a nun because you think you can't find a good husband.
Soulmate in Plato referred to something inside each person, its mystical. Not a super-best unique boyfriend or girlfriend.
>Physically, I just want someone who I don't find repulsive, like someone very fat and unhygienic
How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
I went to catholic school which was led by a nunnery; very few fo the nuns there have had whatever you envision to be a morally doubtless life before (and for some, not even after). One of my favourite teachers among them had severe drug problems before she decided to become a nun.
Oh hey, kind of the same boat here, I'm 30 and am starting to wonder the same thing. I've had girlfriends but all of my Catholic female acquaintances are either already engaged/married, or just aren't romantically interested in me. But maybe I'm just to bad at dating in my demographic specifically.
But that's what's been said. He stays stuff about humans being two headed, 4 arms, 4 legs and a round body. They got cut in half and love is trying to find that missing part of you
Stop reading fanfiction, hell is absence of God
I want to do kinky stuff with a nun!
>is """Cathlolic"""
>won't wait until marriage

Uh, it's a very closed off way of living.
I was never raised religious, so I don't really understand the whole religious community thing, but a monastery of dude monks is set up near my house. They make absolutely amazing fudge and chocolates, but aside from that I have no idea what they do all day. I don't think I could live without travel and adventure, but your mileage may vary.
The idea of holding off on sex till marriage is deeply unpopular. A lot of guys are going to bounce just because it seems like obvious gold digging, with you using sex as a bargaining chip to get them to sign away their lives. It'd be a sign that they have no respect for themselves if they were allowed to be "controlled" by their penises in that way.
It feels to them like a deeply unequal negotiation in what should be a message of reciprocity. Plus what if you find out after you get married that you just don't enjoy having sex with them. Yeah it's hedonism, but sex also = intimacy, and a marriage without intimacy is deeply unsatisfying for both parents and projects bad outcomes for the children as well as they can tell that their parents aren't connected fully and don't grow up with a good role model for a loving relationship.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the input.
Would you settle for other kinds of Christianity? Eastern Orthodox? Lutheran? etc
>Is it a bad idea to become a nun?
No, it's certainly better than joining the rest of modern society (what's left of it) with all of its faults. Whatever you do, never give up your sense of morality. It's a rarity these days especially.
You are a true bottom-dwelling retard if you think it's damaging to either relationship quality or stability, and it's pure delusion on your part to cope with a life of degeneracy.
t. waiting until marriage, not religious
If I could raise my children catholic, then yes I would settle.
>A lot of guys are going to bounce just because it seems like obvious gold digging, with you using sex as a bargaining chip to get them to sign away their lives.
It acts like a filter. While certainly disheartening to see men just bail when they can't use your body, those that do stay will offer better prospects. Pic related.
> it simply makes no sense and only has negatives, no positives
Where do you dipshits come from? I swear, there has to be some hole in the ground that the hedonist legions spawn in. Probably somewhere in California.

>Bivariate results suggested that delaying sexual involvement was associated with higher relationship quality across several dimensions. The multivariate results indicated that the speed of entry into sexual relationships was negatively associated with marital quality, but only among women."
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
>"I find that premarital sex or premarital cohabitation that is limited to a woman's husband is not associated with an elevated risk of marital disruption. However, women who have more than one intimate premarital relationship have an increased risk of marital dissolution."
psycnet.apa.org
>"Both structural equation and group comparison analyses demonstrated that sexual restraint was associated with better relationship outcomes, even when controlling for education, the number of sexual partners, religiosity, and relationship length."
In a similar position as a male with ample access to sex except my beliefs align more with orthodoxy rather than catholicism/protestantism. Not a south-slavic though so meeting women like that would be very difficult.
where you at i'm coming in
>I'm 23 and have given up on the idea of finding a soul mate or whatever. I'm capable of finding a boyfriend and have had boyfriends before but finding someone who is a pious catholic, who will wait till marriage, and I could raise a nice family with seems too hard to ask for
So being a mom and wife is your first choice, but there's no true believer guys around who will voluntary keep in their pants until marriage (not really surprising, you're statistically in the same boat as someone who will only marry a double amputee that's really into Mongolian throat singing), and your second choice is a life of temperance, rigidity, and spiritual exploration (I assume, I'm not a Christian).
From here that doesn't really look like it follows. That was the dichotomy, like, 100 years ago, and I think it had more to do with a system that evolved because it provided social stability that what God really wanted you to do. I don't actually believe in God, I'm sorta operating on that hypothetical (and hopefully not being disrespectful in the process). So to me it seems wanting to have your ideal family is a great goal, and wanting to have a spiritual life and rack up some karma is a great goal, but maybe it would be better to look at other ways you can accomplish these and be a bit more flexible.
I have a great deal of gratitude to the sisters who took care of my father when he was ill, so I don't want to say "no, don't do it," I just think you should do it for the right reasons. I want you to do it if it's fulfilling your life goal and not just because you psychologically NEED the approval of the Church, or think that God values the good deeds of a monastic more than the good deeds of some Muslim helping animists in a village without a doctor.
Also wtf are you doing on Jow Forums lol.
>you're statistically in the same boat as someone who will only marry a double amputee that's really into Mongolian throat singing
That's an exaggeration. While the numbers are abysmal and far lower than they should be, there are still about 5% of people in the US who do wait until marriage, and that will obviously be a more religious group anyway. I would assume that they're concentrated in the Midwest and South, but on that OP should be cautious, since shotgun marriages done to get around the "waiting" defeat the whole purpose and drive the high divorce rates in the Bible Belt. They're also not Catholics, of course.
>wtf are you doing on Jow Forums
I don't know how OP got here, but there's a sizable Christian contingent on Jow Forums, Catholics included.
You can be religious and still browse Jow Forums.
That's a little different. OP isn't a virgin. Normally that wouldn't matter, but the fact that other guys were alright in the past but now you have to risk a lot is going to strike deep.
Like, I'm not opposed to the idea of abstaining from sex for a long time, but marriage is a hugely important thing, and if people are going to enter into marriage they should do it for the right reasons, not because they're thinking is being overrided by their thirst.
Just by gazing upon this god forsaken Pages she Lost her virginity...
Which virginity? The one she already Gave away?
>Waiting until marriage without having waited until marriage
Wait, what?
Where did OP say that?
Implies that OP actually is a virgin. Hopefully not one of the degenerates that thinks anything but penetration is acceptable, though.
>if people are going to enter into marriage they should do it for the right reasons, not because they're thinking is being overrided by their thirst.
That's largely the point of waiting, though. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I read this as a tacit endorsement of premarital sex, which I would disagree with.
I think we would agree that the kinds of people who marry after a few weeks just so they can have sex are completely squandering the purpose of waiting, but that's a problem when waiting is done incorrectly, not in the act of waiting itself.
So can Someone please explain why a girl who IS NOT a virgin would want to wait until marriage? Isnt virginity the whole point?
Who would be the cuck to accept such a request from a non pure woman?
She categorically Said that she is no virgin, when asked if se had been a slut OP answered "no, i've not done much"
I haven't had sex before.
I'mAs you can imagine, I spend a fair amount of time on this particular issue, and the so-called "born-again virgins" come in two common categories, I'd imagine:
1. They're addicted to the feeling of Christianity without actually practicing any of its teachings. They do some things as a phase or accessory, and 'waiting until marriage' is one of them--not that the marriage is particularly likely to last. Basically, they like the sound of being in their own redemption arc.
2. They're delusional ex-degenerates who have cognitive dissonance from coming to an understanding that their past actions were wrong, and they try to wash their hands of it as hard as they can.
I pity some of them. Society in general is so thoroughly corrupted with filth that you have to be exceedingly lucky to even learn there's a better alternative in time to practice it. The second category in many cases will be people who acted degenerate because that's what everyone else did and expected, and they only found out about faith and/or morality after the fact.
That could just be a figure of speech. The British like understatements, for example.
Ok then, but tou know that:
Would imply that you have had, right?
Luke Dashjr is the most catholic guy I know. Start backing him up on his angry twitter rants, and maybe it'll lead to something.
Oh i know all that is Just that i get in to a questioning rage with that kind of thing
Anyway seems like she is a virgin, which means it's understandable
Can't you find one of these guys in some church youth groups or clubs?
That I've had what?
It's only a bad idea if it isn't what you want to do. Like others have said, don't do it just because you can't find a good husband.
Guys are out there that are willing to wait. They're just hard to find. I wish you the best of luck on your search.
