Answer 4
Hypothetically, or my actual brothers and sisters? Because if it were my actual brothers and sisters, I would laugh my @ss off at the hypocrisy, but hypothetically, if my siblings were normal, healthy people, I'd be happy for them.

Answer 5
Depends on which sibling. If my younger ones wanted to join, then I would ask them if they are sure (because it's a big responsibility) and then let them do what they want to do. If it was my older sister, I would pack her bags for her, give her $10, and push her out the door. =P

Answer 8
This incident has never happen to me but I hope that I would handle it as I have other things my sister has decided to do. Not to judge but to be there for her. To know that even if I don't agree that she has a right to make her own choices. The great thing about it is that even when she made some messed up choices she learned from it as well as I myself have. Becoming a monk or nun does not happen over night there is alot to getting there. Minds can change during the process and if not then maybe just maybe it was supposed to be. I just love her to the otherside what ever the outcome maybe.
