Tell me something I don't know...

The Tyburn Benedictine Nuns (look them up online, they exist!) shave their heads in order to wear their veils. They also sew all of their own clothing with the exception of underwear, and, in the hot climates, change the colour of their habit with the season, off-white for summer, black for winter.

They also have a rule of silence, do not speak at meals and do not use computers.

I know this because I spent two years there. During that time I left the convent grounds twice, once to visit a doctor and once to buy sandals. I did not use a computer at all and the telephone, on avarage, once a month.

I also never, ever saw the sun rise. We were already awake and in the chapel when the sun rose.

Arlington Cemetery was originally Robert E. Lee's family property but when Lee refused to fight for the Union, Lincoln created the cemetery. Recently the Lee family won the property back but what the hell are you supposed to do with a bunch of rotten corpses?

You can have sex with a pregnant woman and not poke the baby in the head with your penis. My friend once asked a Catholic priest if you could and his response was, "Let's just say....God made enough room for everyone..." and then he raped a toddler.

That's beyond tasteless.

I had forgotten that I wrote that and when I just went to read it, I laughed.

Worse things have been said about Catholic priests, and deservedly so. And the baby part, that's true! You can!

I knew the baby bit, but just because you feel they deserve it doesn't mean they do.

Do priests deserve all the pedo jokes because less then one percent of them recant on their vows of celibacy in the worst way possible? No.

If you buy a Vizio TV, prepare to throw it away after two years, yep mine bit the dust today.........fuck

Well I bought mine at Costco, so that pretty much means I have an unlimited return policy. Sucks for you though. My TV got stolen and I liked it so much that I bought the exact same one again. 47"TV/PC Monitor FTW!

It's less than 1%? How many priests are there!?!? Didn't 200 handicapped kids get.....pedo'd recently?

Even if it is less than 1%, I think the Catholic church has some work to do because they are not attracting the right type of person to become a priest. If doing away with the vow of celibacy makes the position more appealing to a more mentally stable type of person who wants to do the job for the right reasons, then please, get rid of it.

Something has to be done. Pedophiles are being drawn to that profession and it's only going to get worse once more pedophiles see it as a means to pursue their urges. One is too many.

I apologize if my comment offended you. I was only joking.

I accept your apology.

How many priests are there? Thousands and thousands. There can be several priests in one catholic church building, with up to twenty churches in any big city, plus small towns, etc.

And gay pedophiles aren't supposed to be attracted to priesthood. The idea is that the celibatic priest of forty years can't stand it any more and NEEDS - SEX - NOW. And then... bad things happen.

I happen to be against the celibatic vow as well, by the way.

Why did you leave the convent? The obvious reasons? Disagreements with your superiors?

Because I began to display signs of mental illness and they did not have the facilities to care for me.

I can't go back now, I'm officially (three or so doctors!) diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Sometimes I miss it. For all the strictness, it was very peaceful.

A fact I just learned last night.

Limp Bizkit is actually fantastic live. They took the vibe we got from Rob Zombie and multiplied it by 1000.

Did you know the movie "Field of Dreams" was an adaptation of the book Shoeless Joe. When the director filming the movie asked the author what the original title of the book would have been,the Author said "Dream Field". Lol they had no idea that the original book title and the name of the movie would have be almost identical. The reason the book title was changed to Shoeless Joe before release was simply that the writer didn't like the title.

That's just my opinion of the whole mess. I think that once other pedophiles see that this method is working for getting what they urge, they will pursue it. What's a few years studying and faking their way through a few vows to a pedophile? Their minds are not chemically balanced, I imagine this is not out of the realm of possibility. And, to my knowledge, these guys are not "gay pedophiles", they're attracted to pre-pubescents, and boys are available.

Also, I assume the internet is becoming a no-no for pedophiles because of "To Catch a Predator" so they'll need to find new ways to do their perverted business. (I know this is Hollywood Catholocism but) If you've seen the movie "Doubt", the priest just transfers when he gets caught and keeps working as a priest. If there is any truth in that, it's despicable on behalf of the church. It's sad, and it's not the church's fault, but they need to be proactive about the whole thing and get it under control.

FYI, I am not Catholic, but I went to a Catholic high school for 4 years and attended mass during those 4 years. There were religious figures at that school that I would not put this past.

It's not attractive to pedophiles because pedo priests get waaaaaay too much coverage for comfort. Every priest gets an omnipresent eye now.

How sad. I think having someone who was in a convent and liked it could be a good thing for this forum.

I'm...actually okay with that. Tim Curry is awesome.

When making nitroglycerine, if the temperature of the reaction rises above 30 degrees Centigrade, the solution must be drowned (dumped into cold water) to prevent the formation of nitrogen dioxide and to prevent explosion.
