What was the strangest thing you discovered this week? I had to go to a chapel in a nunnery yesterday....

I discovered nuns do not wear those "nun" things on their heads anymore. That's weird.

    My daughter  raises chickens for eggs. She learned that the color of the first egg will be the color they will produce for life.

    Some do, some still sport the traditional habit, though it is far less common.

    Anyway, nothing big.  I did notice that I have 3 different gmail accounts, and I am signed into Google under one, into email under another, and into YT under the 3rd...that seemed rather odd considering I only use a single device online.

  • Fear the google! That does seem odd with the email . I am not a reléguons person. So I was expecting first time in a nunnery see people freezes as nuns like I know from movies and television. Was weird for me see they just dress like normal elderly ladies. I was more freaked out by the ceremony with all the chanting and people drinking from same glass. I was afraid ask a question about the cooties though cos I know may offended some people. I would think people should be afraid of cold sores even if they are relçgous. Was trippy. And I can't  make my phone suss word re- lig- ous :)

    Yeah, I can't figure how I can be signed into Google under three different accounts on one device...

    I only know because I had a friend who became a nun and her order wears the traditional, long, black habit.  

    I've never attended Catholic services except for baptisms.

  • I have 2 google email accounts but only one that's attached to my device , so yeah ... that is strange. I wouldn't like that at all. Yesterday was first time i went to a real catholic service. Was so weird for me. Stand up... sit down ... stand up. I'm or knocking it for people who believe. But it's a cult in my opinion. amyway all the nuns sat at side benches , and they were wearing regular clothing. There was only one wearing a habit and she was sitting beside me and kept saying " peace be with you" to me. I didn't like that either. also no one wear suit heals shoes in a nunnery chapel so I felt Lou de when I walked. I just didn't like it at all. :)

    Can't say as I'd feel comfortable either.  I won't knock others for doing such things, but it's not for me.  My faith is between God and me...and I don't believe anything rests on rituals created by man.  JMHO  :) This post was edited by Bozette at July 28, 2017 6:03 PM MDT

    I was raised a Catholic in Catholic grade school I always was in and out of all the nun things, like the place they lived (what was that called again?) and the chappel in the nunnery was commonplace as well.

    The nunsies hold no mystery to me.  I had them for at least 8 years of my life.  That was more than enough.

  • I was expecting to see "nuns" looking like what I think "nuns" should look like... based on movies and television. I was surprised they just like regular old ladies now. What up with the everyone ink from one glass and wipe it with a cloth deal? No offence I t'es des to your religion... that was just weird for me to see...

    Nuns' wardrobes are determined by their order.

    I found my great-great-great-grandfather's head stone in Ostersund, Sweden.  It is the biggest, grandest headstone in the whole cemetery because he founded that town.
