Spit in the water system? I knew werewolves were vicious, bloodthirsty, and amoral—but that’s just plain yucky.
 
First off, thanks for making my day with this topic. What a fun read. 🙂

Well, the first thing I would do is fly to Rome and contact Father Armoth and get an exorcism. Usually, such a curse would be the result of a spiritual attack or posession. Such an attack might come from a curse (as you mentioned) or from a personal choice: a person selling there soul to become a werewolf.

If it was a matter of choice, then repentance, the sacarment of reconciliation, and penance would definitly be needed to get out of that situation… along with an exorcism.

Now for some interesting Werewolf facts:

The term “were” comes from the old saxon word for man. So, the term were-wolf means “man-wolf” or “wolf man”.

The term “warg”… notably coined in the Tolkien novels is also old saxon and means an evil werewolf.

Okay werewolf buffs…

If you want a good book about werewolves, then check out “The Book of Werewolves” by Sabine Baring-Gould. It’s the definitive source on werewolf legends and lycanthropy. It’s also available online:

That is not any fun though. If I were a werewolf I would want to have some fun with it and act like a wolf and hunt. There is no sin in hunting for food. Though as I mentioned earlier I would try to be in an area that does not have humans on werewolf nights. I assume werewolfs can eat other things like deer and there are an abundance of deer everywhere in this country.

Golly, you know what, people around these parts would pay werewolves to take down the deer population. (Do you have any idea how slow you have to drive at night, to see a deer before it lands on your windshield???)
See: problem solved.👍 👍

:eek: Sabine Baring-Gould wrote a book about werewolves??? Sabine Baring-Gould the** hymnwriter**???:bigyikes:
 
The mere thought might land you in Hell, and you can not be one hundred percent sure that an excorcism will be the “silver bullet” in any individual case.

I cant find werewolf in the CCC so it must not exist.😛

The same. It’s a very good book, too – not fiction, but a treatise on the myth throughout history. In a similar vein, Sir Walter Scott (yes, the Sir Walter Scott) wrote a book entitled Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft which is a compilation of letters on the two subjects and their nature and history in Europe. It’s fascinating, and I highly recommend both books 🙂

Yes, it is yucky, but it was the only way that I could think of to give my disease to a mass quantity of humans.:o

Face it, if everyone was werewolves, then werewolves wouldn’t be a danger.

Problem solved.😃

Hello, all. I have an hypothetical question for the forum.

Suppose you were a werewolf, cursed to changed form once every full moon and stalk and kill human prey. Knowing this, what would you do? Telling anyone is right out - no one would believe you. The curse may well be tricky enough, too, that you might “hold your breath” for a month just to paint yourself a liar before any people you’d convinced to watch you transform. Month after month, the bodies pile up, while you continue to live your life. Do you melt down your silver crucifix into a bullet and shoot yourself, or what?

Definitlely contact the appologists at Catholic Answers, then contanct the USCCB’s council for bio-medical ethics, finally stop taking drugs and realize that you are not a werewolf.🙂
 
Hmmm. This OP WAS—you know—hypothetical, right? Right? :eek:

I’m getting out my torch and pitchfork. It’s castle-storming time! Or am I getting werewolves mixed up with some other monster?

I know. I am just joking.
 
You know, if I had to be a monster, I’d rather be a vampire.

Or a werecat.

This IS just for fun, right? I don’t have to go confess this, right?
 
My room mate would definitely love to be a vampire. I think I would rather be the Dark Lord of the Sith.😃
 
No one wants to be a were-toad. 🤓 We’ve just got an image problem, I think.

Uh–No! No! I’m not accusing you of being a----gulp----no, I’m not accusing you of anything. Please believe me. And don’t harm me. And I won’t tell anyone else. I mean, if there were anything to tell. Which there isn’t. :nope:

The moon is currently waxing crescent – You have ~a week and a half to hide. (Or procure yourself some wolfsbane and silver bullets)

Who wonders if Coors beer is sufficient to keep the werewolves at bay? :confused:
 
i want to be wolverine.

the sword fingers have got to be useful. but is he a monster?

i heard a segment on This American Life about superhero powers. wouldja rather fly or be invisible?

i absolutely would rather fly, but am surrounded by a country of untrustworthy people. overwhelmingly people chose invisibility-- my own family even.

i feel insecure in all relationships now. those sword fingers sure would come in handy. (i punned?)
