Religion / Re: Jehovah's Witness Dies After Rejecting Blood Transfusion by roqchiq(f): 4:56pm On Nov 12, 2014
RikoduoSennin:


Bias news at its finest! Please remove this malicious news piece from this forum or at least change the title.

Did you notice the bolded section of your report. How did refusing blood transfusion kill her a whole month after. Can someone with shortage of blood during surgery survive for a month? Don't you realise she may have died from other thing?

Why not right report about JW who have refused blood transfusions and STILL survived or better yet about people who took blood transfusions and still die.

Do you think blood transfusions save lives 100%. Do you think blood transfusions is the BEST/ New technological way to achieve successful surgery?





@bolded section, JW did not say, God through the bible said so. We simply obey no matter what why others choose what they obey. (If God told them to sacrifice their child, they would tell him no! They lack the kind of faith Abramham had)

Controversies and many death? What about the many lifes that decision has saved- both now and in the resurrection. Focus on the positive.



Trying to stay alive? For how long? Is it quaranteed that after disobeying God by taking blood transfusions- the person will survive the surgery.

Is obeying God less important than our short miserable life on this earth?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the post above are just based on ignorance and lack of proper information. I am not surprised because Satan said to God, "whatever a man has he will give to save his soul". In this case, many are ready to sacrifice their Faith, Loyalty, Obedience,and Love for God and commandments for TRYING (NB:no quarantee) to save their soul only to discover that they can't outrun death.



God is also the giver of life.....what about IVF? on whose authority do you approve of IVF? If God says you won't have children naturally, then why do you use booster drugs and IVF.

soonpoint: To all those calling the doctor greedy, you didn't know what went down, you don't know of his relationship with the diplomat, you don't know if he was just unfortunate to have met the man and treated his as d symptoms presented which is quite similar to malaria, you don't know if he's oblivious of the fact of the man being a diplomat..there are manythings you don't know, this man tried saving a life, ended up losing his. Till we get our facts right, let's desist from calling him names.

Yes, nobody knows what happened, but as a medical personnel,who should be more enlightened on the risks involved, knowing that the man is a diplomat who just came into the country, why didn't he report the case...since fa. In fact,if you go pharmacy to buy malaria drugs they'll call ebola police for you, even aboki wey sell you panadol go call ebola police for you, and you are telling me a doctor decided to keep his mouth shut, and spread the virus,going as far as attending to other non-ebola patients, despite full knowledge that he had come in contact with the virus or something similar. Not until he died,that the whole thing is coming to light.

How come its our medical personnel that are being careless? thank God for some, like the late female doctor, who know their stuff.

**sneaked**??
I don't understand the meaning of the term ''sneaked''. If a full grown man, working with an international body like ECOWAS, can go to an airport, buy an airline ticket,have his passport stamped, board a plane with a sizeable number of his colleagues,get to Nigerian airport, welcomed by his other colleagues in Nigeria, taken to their office (or wherever)....and no liberian authority hinted Nigeria that ''hey this guy is under surveillance isolate him'', instead you are now apologising,For what??
As far as am concerned He could have been a biological terrorist, and USA a so-called,self appointed world power is hoarding a cure for this virus. US should be ORDERED to make the drug available,or they shall be held viable for any deaths that occur.

My fellow Nigerians should wake up,sit up and realise that WE are better than the west, stop tagging along, we don't have to wait for a cure, shey them say na african disease,then,only african medicine can cure it. Fund our research labs, equip them, lets find our ow solution. These westerners are nothing but trouble with their ''designer diseases'', its part of their plan to keep us on a leash.

Religion / Re: A Thread For Catholics by roqchiq(f): 1:13pm On Jan 09, 2014
In a new move aimed at reforming the clergy and eliminating careerism in the
Catholic Church, Pope Francis has abolished the conferral of the Pontifical Honor of
‘Monsignor’ on secular priests under the age of 65. Henceforth, the only Pontifical Honor that will be conferred on ‘secular priests’ will be
that of ‘Chaplain to His Holiness’ and this will be conferred only on ‘worthy priests’
who are over 65 years of age. (‘Secular priests’ are priests in a diocese, who are not
monks or members of religious institutes or orders). The Vatican’s Secretariat of State has communicated this news to Apostolic Nuncios
around the world, and has asked them to inform all bishops in their respective
countries of the decision in this regard taken by Pope Francis. Thus, for example, on January 2, the Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop
Antonio Mennini, wrote to all the bishops in Great Britain to inform them of the
Pope’s decision. He confirmed that “the privileges in this regard” that have already
been granted by the Roman Pontiff to “physical or juridical persons” remain in force.
This would suggest that the papal decree is not retroactive, those who are already
monsignors will not lose their title.




I don't agree or disagree with it. I know a young priest who is now a monsignor, and he really worked hard for it. The Pope had his reasons for restricting the title. Bydway, i believe 'father' is enough for any priest. ----my 2kobo!!

Religion / Re: A Thread To Pray For Roman Catholics And To Help Them To Reform by roqchiq(f): 5:13pm On Jan 02, 2014
kamura:


Why are you quoting Luke 1:48 halfway?. . .It is true that Mary said all generation shall call her blessed, and not blessed virgin, cause ..

1. she was used as a vessel of honor. . The Bible says, a virgin concieved, and brought her firstborn son. . . So its obvious, that afterwards, she performed her duties as a wife to her husband David. . . They lived as husband and wife and had other children.

2. She said it, not the angels nor God, she was talking to Elizabeth, mother of John the baptist. . . . that all generation shall call her blessed because God regarded her among women, even at her lowly state as a maidservant. . . Luke 1:48. . to bring forth the saviour to the world. . . for her being granted the grace of being the mother of her Lord. . Luke 1:43.

3. So, must catholic church crave an image of her everywhere, must i build an altar for her in my house with candles and bow to her because i want to call her blessed Mary?.

. . What are the purpose of the saints? when the Blood of Jesus is available to wash away our sins

. . Do i need a rosary to guide my prayer points? when the holy spirit is available to teach, guide and direct my prayer life. . for we dont know what to prayer, but He intercede for us. . Rom 8:26

4. God has given us commandment to living a holy life. Bowing before a crave image is idolatory. . dont sugar coat. . .

. . . . Salvation does not comes from any other , for there is no name under heaven, given among men that man must be save. . .,other than Jesus Christ. . . not a priest, pope, Mary or your Church can save you. . . Work out your salvation personal through Jesus. . . . . .Act 4:12, Phi 2:9


May God bless you all. .


okay mister, i see you are delusional.....

1. Joseph the carpenter, not David (geez even a nursery school child knows that, am suprised your bible study classes missed that point)....

Oh and based on that point alone, i can safely conclude that you have absolutely no idea of the content of the christian religion you claim to belong, ergo, i have no business discussing advanced issues with you. I'll suggest you join Judaism, let them start you on the basics....''in the begining was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.'' (oh my!..hope i didnt confuse you with that quote).

adsonstone: These roman catholics and their usual false claim of 'we gave the world the bible'.

--We gave you the bible, why bash us with it?-- (actual meaning)

.and when one says the truth and there is no hiding place/lies to put foward, they just ask that 'what is the name of your church?'....and when a reply is given and there's no criticism, they just 'shy' away in ignorance.

Well, as for me, I will not stop praying for the Roman Catholics.


False claim Really, you have a million intelligent things to say, and google to help verify that 'false claim' and you come up with this??smh. You reek of desperation!

". For behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed...'' Luke 1:48
---or maybe that verse isn't in your own bible--. Like it or not, the blessed virgin has the singular privelege/Grace that will NEVER be bestowed on another. I, who am of the generation of Abraham, partaking of the blessings promised him, call her blessed, what do you call her??

@truthislight......which bible is he using? The one the Roman Catholic church gave the world? Abi there's another one?

Everytime you want to attack the Catholic Church you dig out the bible, why not use the koran or another holy book not compiled by the same church? Stop deceiving yourselves, the scriptures written by the prophets of old were compiled into what is known as the bible by the church. Do you actually believe that only 66 books were written? Those were the books you accepted, the catholic bible has more. And yet even more were not included, and still more are being discovered.

How many of the rites of the old testament do you practise, including passover which even our Lord Jesus Christ himself, practised. You people are beginning to sound like the pharisees and saducees, yapping about stuff you do not understand, and quoting scriptures you cannot begin to fathom.

I will refer you to ''the gospel of james'', sorry it's not in the bible, google it and read. There are many other such books, educate yourselves, find out the origin of your ''bible'', ask why some books were included and others were not. If you really want to liberate a people, find out the roots of their beliefs. Learn from, The whites that carted away your idols, and left you floundering and grasping desperately at the offered panache, whose roots you couldn't ascertain, and you are still floundering, thats why you jump from church to church to mosque to shrine.

Find a place and settle firmly, every being has a place. I have found mine in the Catholic Church, i will say my 'hail marys' without fear of ridicule, i'll say my 'our fathers' without fear of castigation, i will seek the intercessions of ''saints'' who are alive in Christ, i will welcome the 'holy spirit' as per the example of 'mary', least i flounder. Or you can go to judaism(no offence intended please) and await your saviour!

I love listverse....and i won't blame them, because we (nigerians), tend to concern ourselves with trival issues, while ignoring the things that really matter. You give gays (two conscientous adults) 14yrs sentence, how many times have they tried and sentenced; child/baby molesters, wife/women batterers, incest offenders, corrupt leaders, producers of fake products, to mention a few.

Before the bashing start oo, am not giving an excuse for gays, neither am i in support of a rather disgusting act, but i believe its their business, as long as it isn't affecting others negatively.

I pray that in 2014, we won't let ourselves be overwhelmed by trival issues, but we will focus of developing ourselves and our country, without religious, political,or tribal sentiments.

Happy New Year!
Religion / Re: The Origin Of Christmas by roqchiq(f): 10:35am On Dec 23, 2013
hmmm OP guess you have joined Kumuiyi in his believe.

just out of curioisity let me ask a question..''do you attend church on sunday or saturday''

There's something most people tend to forget about Christianity, this religion has a lot of tradition entwined with it. You cannot accept a religion without accepting its attendant tradition. It just won't work, and you'll end up questioning the said religion's practises. Ask the muslims, the pagans, whatever religion you decide to follow you have to accept its traditions, if you can't do that drop it and pick another one.

The Catholics brought you the Bible (not scriptures oo), and by extension Christianity (if am wrong, please show me another religion that has claims to the origin of bible and/or christianity).
The protestants, protested the catholic practises and adapted varying versions for themselves, each as it suits them. Now all those splinter groups are floundering in a mire created by unbelief, doubts and displacement. They don't know where they belong, so they repeatedly attempt to drag others down with them.

Faith is a powerful thing, whatever you believe in, do it completely and fully, don't entertain doubts, and it'll work for you.

If you are a christian, and you don't want to celebrate the birth of ''The Christ'', (no matter what date), then you don't believe you have been saved. You can join judaism (with all due respect to the religion), and keep waiting for your own savior.


P.S; Christmas is a period of joy, it marks the beginning of our journey of salvation, its not all about giving gifts or partying, its about making room in your heart and home for Christ to be born anew. Its about remebering that you are one of the saved. The Catholic church celebrates Advent before christmas, a period of expectancy, we are expected to prepare during advent, repent of our sins, clean our hearts, mend our ways, be at peace with one another, submit to the will of God (like Joseph and Mary did), so that when Christ is born, our hearts will be the manger, our lives the gifts we give Him. Then we would spread the love, joy and peace, only He can give.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS!!!

Religion / Re: How Often Do You Recite The Lords Prayer, And Why by roqchiq(f): 7:03pm On Nov 17, 2013
swhiss:

God the hearer of prayer urges us to pour out our heart to him, we shld mke known our INNER FEELINGS to him....reciting de lords prayer is like repeating de same kind of prayer over nd over again, it is nt from the heart!...its jes a standard we must stick to while praying.


Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless[a] I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. "......

Ermm...well i guess since Jesus repeated the same words thrice He wasn't praying from his heart.

Oh and that smart talk about muslims praying towards the east, go read Dan 6:10...turned towards Jerusalem and prayed...''

Religion / Re: Why Do God Have To Create People GAY? Why? by roqchiq(f): 8:30am On Nov 05, 2013
Lets get this right, there is nothing like ''gay people'', its not like saying ''white people'' or ''black people''. Your sexuality can never define you, if you choose to allow it define you then you become a slave to it, people who willingly classify themselves as ''gay'' are enslaving themselves to their sexual natures. Yes, you find yourself attracted to same sex, So? Its a habit, get over it. People have different urges, to steal, to kill, to have sex anywhere and everywhere, to embezzle, to backstab etc, but we don't all give in to these urges, sometimes because of society morals.

Nobody has to be gay, but you can decide to be gay.

Religion / Re: Famous Rosary Miracles (for Believers). by roqchiq(f): 8:19am On Oct 08, 2013
The Rosary is a wonderful prayer, reflecting on the life, death, ressurection and ascension of Christ. I can't count the many times my rosary has saved me. Faith is a very strong thing. I met a protestant in nysc camp who told me how she learnt to pray the rosary, and Our Lady helped her with a difficult lecturer, she was actually preaching to me not knowing i was a catholic, she just told me, why dont you try praying the catholic rosary, you'll be suprised, i just smiled and told her i would.

Once i had a really bad sore throat and after a visit with the doctor i was told i had tonsilitis and my tonsils had to be removed, i was soo afraid, especially after reading up about tonsils. On the eve of the operation, i couldnt sleep, i started praying my rosary, i begged Our Mother, Blessed Virgin, to intercede for me that i didnt want to have any operation, while i was praying, i felt the urge to put the rosary around my neck (i have never done that before because i felt it was wrong to wear the rosary like a necklace), immediately i put it round my neck, i started coughing, i felt like i was choking, then instead of spitting, i swallowed. The pain of weeks, was gone, i hadnt been able to eat solid food, or even swallow without pain, sometimes i couldnt even talk. I was so happy, i started screaming, my roomates thought it had gotten worse, i smiled and told them i was fine now, My Mama had made me good. I went to the hospital for the operation but the doctor told me it was no longer necessary, he looked puzzled, but he said sometimes it corrects itself, but not overnite. Then he said maybe the diagnosis was wrong, i just told him he won't understand.

That is my Mama Mary. I am a #nwamary confirmed.

SSS killings: Police have no say, Okiro, PSC boss

Our Reporter September 24, 2013
Abuja

Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) and chairman of Police Service Commission
(PSC), [/b] Mike Okiro, yesterday said the police had no case to answer over the Apo
killings by men of the Department of the State Security Services (SSS). Okiro said not even the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar, could
speak on the matter since the SSS did not carry the police along for the operation. [b]
At least seven people were killed during an alleged shoot out between men of the SSS
and suspected Boko Haram members at Apo, last weekend. The PSC boss, who spoke during a media briefing to mark his first 100 days in office,
however, [/b] challenged members of the media to probe deeper into the matter as he
refused to make further comment.[b]
This was just as one of the suspected Boko Haram victims shot by the SSS, who had been
on admission at the Asokoro General Hospital, died yesterday morning. Speaking on challenges facing the police, the former IGP said the force, currently being
repositioned was faced with some challenges like terrorism, kidnapping, gang rape,
armed robbery and other violent crimes. According to him, this has made re-positioning a more herculean task. Okiro listed under funding, poor inter-agency collaboration, absence of a national policy
and strategy on crime prevention and control, national criminal Intelligence sharing plan
as well as a national policy on deliberate planned police/public partnership in crime
control as some of the ingredients needed to curb terrorism and other violent crimes in
the country. The former IGP said that some cadet inspectors, who found their ways into the police
college with fake credentials had been shown the way out, adding that he would
concentrate more on issues of recruitment, promotion, welfare of staff of his
commission, delay in determining police disciplinary matters, dress code for members of
the police and restructuring the police. On restructuring of the police for greater efficiency and effectiveness, Okiro said the PSC,
has recommended that Deputy Inspectors General of Police (DIGs), be deployed to the
zonal headquarters and replaced with Assistant Inspectors General of Police at the Force,
Headquarters to the presidency for urgent consideration.

Religion / Re: Catholic Priests May Be Allowed To Marry Amid Papal Changes by roqchiq(f): 2:27pm On Sep 13, 2013
Firstly; the topic of this thread should be changed, it was not The Papacy that was interveiwed, it was the arch bishop, who cannot speak on behalf of the Papacy.

Secondly; it was during a personal interveiw with Archbishop Pietro Parolin, who is set to replace Cardinal Tarciscio Berone as the head of the Vatican’s Secretariat of State.in which he aired his personal opinions not the papacy's....

Thirdly; this was the exchange,that led to the statement...
interveiwer--- Aren't there two types of dogmas? Aren't there unmovable dogmas that were instituted by Jesus and then there are those that came afterwards, during the course of the church's history, created by men and therefore susceptible to change?
Archbishop---Certainly.There are dogmas that are defined and untouchable.

Interveiwer---Celibacy is not.....
Archbishop--- It is not a church dogma and ''it can be discussed because it is a church tradition.''

p.s...the line in quote was what led to the assumption that is being discussed on this thread.

Fourthly; —there are, in fact, married priests today, even in the Latin rite of the Catholic Church, where most priests are required to be celibate (that is, unmarried). But beyond the non-newness of this, there is also the forum in which the exchange occurred: It was a concluding interview with the local nunicio in a local newspaper. This is not the place that the Church uses to make dramatic, official statements. In fact, this was not an official statement at all. It was a personal interview.

Finally; what is the pope's veiw on celibacy?? Here is an excerpt from an interveiw with Pope Francis, before he became Pope.....
''Let’s see . . . I’ll begin with the last question: whether or not the Church is ever going to change its position with regard to celibacy. First, let me say I don’t like to play mind-reader. But assuming that the Church did change its position, I don’t believe it would be because of a lack of priests. Nor do I think celibacy would be a requirement for all who wanted to embrace priesthood. If it did, hypothetically, do so, it would be for cultural reasons, as is the case in the East, where married men can be ordained. There, at a particular time and in that particular culture, it was so, and it continues to be so today. I can’t stress enough that if the Church were to change its position at some point, it would be to confront a cultural problem in a particular place; it would not be a global issue or an issue of personal choice. That is my belief. . . . Right now I stand by Benedict XVI, who said that celibacy should be maintained. Now, what kind of effect will this have on the number of those called to the priesthood? I am not convinced that eliminating celibacy would cause such an increase in those called to the priesthood as to make up for the shortage.''



In summary....i believe we should wait for the papacy to speak before we conclude, and until then, sory priest you can't marry your choir mistress!!!

There are other scriptures that where not included, not because they were false or heretic but because they were not seen as teachings, they were mostly AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL RECORDS that had no spiritual teachings but merely contained information, and most times duplicated other scriptures. The council then decided that, for the Bible to be concise, these scriptures should not be included.

That said...i'll encourage you to do research, thanks to google, so many things can be explained. If you are interested in learning (genuinely and not to argue or condemn or judge or....just to be annoying), i'll give you names of such scriptures that were not included, but i'll advice you not to read them because they'll give rise to more questions.

Oh....and to those that have been to hell (and seen us catholics there), well.....*whispers* i'll suggest you see a psychologist it might help !!

pulease...its not in the bible,its not in the bible....look around you and tell me how many things are not in the bible, is protestanism in the bible?? Read your history,@ least catholics have a history, you all are just floundering,trying to be relevant by making noise. You make a lot of noise about knowing the bible, is the word 'bible' in the bible. Catholics put the scriptures together named it 'Bible' and gave it to you, and you are feeling like you know what you are talking about. Its just like arguing your birthdate with your mother, or insisting you know who your father is,when your mama never tell you.
Martin Luther misled you all when he started protestanism,even the name protestant is suggestive, King James worsened it when he started the anglican church.

Antiphon.
Who is she that comes forth as
the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright
as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle
array?

My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices
in God, my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in her lowliness;
henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy is his name!
His mercy is from age to age, on those who
fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength and
scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things, sends
the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant, remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons forever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end,
Amen.



Happy Birthday Blessed Virgin Mary, My Mother.

1 Corinthians 5 Good News Translation (GNT)

Immorality in the Church Now, it is actually being said that there is sexual immorality among you so terrible that not even the heathen would be guilty of it. I am told that
a man is sleeping with his stepmother! 2 How, then, can you be proud? On the contrary, you should be filled with sadness, and the man who has
done such a thing should be expelled from your fellowship. 3-4 And even though I am far away from you in body, still I am there with you in spirit;
and as though I were there with you, I have in the name of our Lord Jesus
already passed judgment on the man who has done this terrible thing. As
you meet together, and I meet with you in my spirit, by the power of our
Lord Jesus present with us, 5 you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the
Lord. 6 It is not right for you to be proud! You know the saying, “A little bit of yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.” 7 You must remove the old yeast of sin so that you will be entirely pure. Then you will be like a new
batch of dough without any yeast, as indeed I know you actually are. For
our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has
been sacrificed. 8 Let us celebrate our Passover, then, not with bread having the old yeast of sin and wickedness, but with the bread that has
no yeast, the bread of purity and truth. 9 In the letter that I wrote you I told you not to associate with immoral people. 10 Now I did not mean pagans who are immoral or greedy or are thieves, or who worship idols. To avoid them you would have to get out
of the world completely. 11 What I meant was that you should not associate with a person who calls himself a believer but is immoral or
greedy or worships idols or is a slanderer or a drunkard or a thief. Don't
even sit down to eat with such a person. 12-13 After all, it is none of my business to judge outsiders. God will judge them. But should you not judge the members of your own
fellowship? As the scripture says, “Remove the evil person from your
group.”

1 Corinthians 5 King James Version (KJV)

It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one
should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out
of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer,
or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

With all these signs (if you are telling the truth) you dey wait for God to physical pluck you and deposit you in a monastery?

You can join at any age,not priesthood because seminary school takes about 30years the whole shebag! But you can definitely be a monk.

Am a selfish child of our Mother, i don't want more people to believe in her, because it would take Her attention from me, so am not preaching. But take a few minutes and google ''our Lady of Fatima'', it will help some of you talking here to understand more. Check other Marian pages online. Even some catholics don't fully understand some Marian dogma, thats why we get so defensive everytime. When we do understand a bit, we won't need to defend, only pray for them.
