Weird happening number one and religion question (not religious)
Stick to your guns. There is NO way you should be putting your future on the line for your sister - especially in this scenario.Plus, I have NEVER cosigned for ANYONE; it's been a lifelong policy of mine not to cosign
What do I do with a rosary I was gifted with today by a very Catholic neighbour. I am an atheist, so obviously won't be using it to pray with. I am thinking of donating it to one of the Catholic churches in town to be given to a child who doesn't have one. Do churches give out rosaries in those sorts of cases? It's very pretty. Sterling silver with hematite beads and a frighteningly realistic crucifix.
Meanwhile, what is a respectful way to store the thing. Right now, I've got it wrapped in a bit of sheepskin to protect it from damage and stored in my my jewelry box.
Not quite sure why anyone would give a rosary to an atheist
Not quite sure why anyone would give a rosary to an atheist...but I just wanted to say how absolutely wonderful and sweet of you to care about treating it with respect! I'm not even Catholic and that just really touched me. I'm sure that what you've done to store it is just fine. As for the donation, I'm sure some Catholic charity would know where best to donate it. Maybe just call the local Diocese office?
As for your sister, co-signing for anyone is a sure fire way to make bad feelings worse! It sounds like she's bad with money and it might well bite you in the tuckus.
Jabber, you're probably thinking of a fundamentalist Protestant person here, as most Catholics I know don't try to "save" people. I grew up Protestant and am now Catholic, and there's a pretty big difference in that respect.My guess would be that its a precursor to "The Talk" where they will try to "Save You". Hopefully not as I consider this to be fairly rude.
