PhuturePriest Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 [quote name='missionseeker' timestamp='1329706302' post='2389786'] I propped that on the basis that it was one prop from being crazy dope, yo. This is VERY different from this: This is why Red says you use too many absolutes. I'm not trying to rehash this, but as someone who was a teenager (not tooooo long ago) there are a couple of things that I would like to point out. Not out of malice, but honestly, for your own good. Around this age you should start to write serious essays. By that I mean essays which express an idea, or opinion in a clear, concise and PRECISE manner. Soon you will need to write applications for college or seminary. Do you use a homeschooling curriculum? If so, you will probably be required to submit thoughtfully prepared, eloquently stated papers. Like I said earlier, rhetoric is an art. It takes practice. And none of us here expect you to perfect at it, BUT on Open Mic is supposed to be a means of communication. Communicating ideas is part of what separates us from animals (that and the ability to love) and the ability to do so well is something that should be utilized and practiced, especially in a public phorum. This is a large reason why so many people were upset by how you posted. I do not think that this is a great approach to the problem. What if you run into someone!? Also, the point of challenges is to overcome them. Temptations exist so that we may take the problem by the root and yank it out of our souls. This may be a decent start, but honestly, as a woman, it is more unsettling to me when a guy is scared to look at me because he's scared he might have impure thoughts than when a guy hits on me in an objectifying way. I do not know if I can explain this well, since you are a 15 year old male, but I think it has something to do with the idea the way BOTH men are thinking of women is objectifying, but one is aware he is objectifying and scared of and cannot accept/deal with an integral part of my person, my body. ooooooooh but when they master the art of smelling good.... ^_^ heaven. Oh emm geeeeeee. lol. same here. [/quote] This post is very good, but there was only one thing wrong: I never plan to go to college. The only thing I will go to if I decide it is my calling is Seminary, but I won't ever go to a college. I have too many problems with the college system, plus, I'm strapped for cash, so I'm sorry American colleges, but your ridiculous prices have run off a customer. Did you know that you can study at the Vatican for four years, and pay as much as you would at a standard American college that isn't special at all for two? That's just ridiculous.[quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1329706793' post='2389790'] [img]http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2009/6/13/128894234423378967.jpg[/img] [/quote] I love that movie.

Totus Tuus Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 [quote name='Hasan' timestamp='1329710765' post='2389823'] If you want to join the FFR (those seem to be renewal Franciscans in your picture) then you need a four year degree in Philosophy, I believe, to enter.

[/quote] Another problem with his post (and this is NOT an attack, FP!) is that God calls some people to go to college, and deciding not to do so is to rule out a calling that you might have and not yet know about. Maybe you really will never go to college. That would be fine. But to refuse to go on the basis of having problems with the system, is, unfortunately, limiting what you will allow God to do in your life.

They prefer that you have a degree, but it's not a requirement. Also, I don't want to join them. I want to enter the Franciscan Brothers Minor.

In Georgia, or perhaps Colorado. Instead I wound up spending 5 years in college (switched between four different majors and was 3 classes (of each, one semester) away from three degrees. I have no idea what I want to do, still AND.... I'm applying to grad school?! Yeah, did NOT see that coming. My point is, we really don't know what's in store. I didn't think I could afford college either, but by working my arse off (literally. ) and determination I was. So don't rule things out just because you think you can't afford it. Let God work. Also, many seminaries and orders require four year degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not just saying that because I'm working on my third degree and forget what life is like outside of a semester based system. I also say that because a lot of orders require a Masters degree after joining; my friend S. is a Franciscan novitiate. He had to have a certain number of hours in Philosophy to even be considered, four year degree preferred. He got the 4 year degree, and then they told him after he becomes a Brother they'll send him to get his Masters before he continues onward toward his goal of the priesthood.
