Zone1 Should i do a voluntary year in a monastery?


i wrote a message, that im interested
If it stops your constant need of self-validation on these boards for a year, great.
 
Here's what I know about monestery life;

There was this guy once who decided to join a monestery. When he went to join up he met with the head priest.
The priest told him the rules; Every monk observed a vow of silence, no words in any language were to be uttered at any time , except once every five years two words could be spoken.
Five years passed, the head priest called him in and asked if he has two words to say.
He said;"food bland".
Five more years passed, same thing, the head priest calls him in to say his two words.
He said; bed hard"
Five more years passed, the head priest calls him in.
He said; "I'm leaving"
The head priest says; " This is no surprise, you've done nothing but bitch since you got here "

If you feel led by the spirit to do so then go. But there are scripture classes you can attend if you are seeking understanding of Gods word. A monastery will give you the time for deep reflection and prayer for guidance from the Holy Spirit. It maybe the very thing you need.
 
Doubt they would let you in, not meaning to offend.
 
pros: i might get spiritually closer to God, i might spend time more with God then usual
cons: i would be seperated from my mum and sister
you would also either lose 100 pounds or they will kick you out for eating their food supply....

Goddy Boy chooses whom he mixes with .
I cannot see you figuring in the first few trillion .

Unless his far more popular Lucifer takes away so many of his slaves that he needs to fill in empty time .
