Why would you be dis-honest?

No I meant selfish
Please do not put words in my mouth. I am not going to elaborate on my selfishess, but those who know what I am talking about are out there.

So, why do you think that we should contribute to your sin?

Olympiada, have you had any bad experiences with monastics, or do you know anyone who is thinking of entering a monastery? Don't let a few bad examples give you a negative feeling towards a holy way of life that has nurtured many saints, and led a multitude of souls to the heavenly kingdom. I suggest making a pilgrimage and seeing for yourself.
Bad experiences
I have not bad experiences with monastics. I have had bad experiences within my own soul. I have been to monasteries every since I became a catechumen. Never mind.
