Hello -

I hope that all of you are well.

I have left Mr. Bawden's seminary and I am no longer with the group that believes that Mr. Bawden is actually the True Pope of the RCC.

I am willing to answer questions that are constructive and decent; I am not going to smear or disrespect anyone associated with Mr. Bawden -- Nor will I mock or disrespect the life, feelings, and desires of Mr. Bawden.

I have made mistakes and have confessed and repented of my mistakes -- Others have not apologized or acknowledged their faults as I have. I was abandoned and treated very harshly, according to the Spirit and Soul.

I had a prophetic dream in April 2013 regarding what has occurred during my time with this group of people. You can disbelieve that above sentence as you wish -- God knows that I do not lie.

My Spiritual Gifts were submerged because of the desires of other people who have no true supernatural experiences with God -- And my intimate life with God was mocked; spit upon; and manipulated by people who feel that they have the final say from Heaven itself.

Thank You and God Bless.

So, what are you doing?

Please specifically detail and clarify what you mean by this.  To parse it out, I would like to know the following:

1.  What are your spiritual gifts?

2.  The people who submerged your gifts--who were these people and what were their desires to which you refer?

3.  How was your intate life with God mocked, spat upon, and manipulated?

4.  Who are the people who believe that they have the final say from Heaven to whom you refer.

Please specifically detail and clarify what you mean by this.  To parse it out, I would like to know the following:

1.  What are your spiritual gifts?

Answer: Many of The Gifts of the Holy Ghost.


2.  The people who submerged your gifts--who were these people and what were t heir desires to which you refer?

Answer: Mr. David Bawden and Mr. Robert Biarnesen. Mr. Bawden felt that he had the right to tell me what God was saying to me; and Mr. Biarnesen gave some acknowledgment, but in the end, he choose to do his own will.

3.  How was your intate life with God mocked, spat upon, and manipulated?

Mr. Phillip Friedl and Mr. Bawden made rude and obnoxious comments about things I had shared with them -- They wanted it Pope's way or the highway !!

So I figured, why waste time and     :argue:    with the papal infallibility of Mr. Bawden .... And I took the highway  

LOL

 :dwarf:

Cause if not .... this may have happened to me ......  :heretic:

(Humor helps us get through this life, does it not.)


4.  Who are the people who believe that they have the final say from Heaven to whom you refer.

Really, just Mr. Bawden -- Because since he feels that he is the POPE, he can call upon the chair of saint peter and make an ex-cathedra statement.

Because of this mindset, my TRUE gifts from God were mistreated.

Those were good questions.

62myer-

I happy for you that you are no longer associated with Mr Bawden's sect. If God is leading you to the vocation of marriage (as He led me) then I wish you and your fiancee all of God's blessings and graces.

I watched the "Pope Michael" docuмentary two years ago and found it greatly disturbing and tragic. Mr Bawden and his parents seemed to me to be very sincere in their belief that he is the pope. That sincerity, of course, does not diminish the gravity of schism and the establishment of an anti-papacy, but I pray that it will mitigate their culpability for those crimes. I also pray, of course, that Mr. Bawden and his family will renounce their errors and be converted back to the Catholic Church. The Modernist Crisis is truly the maddest age in Church history, and only such an age of madness could produce a tragic case like the Bawden family's. I hold out hope that God will show His Mercy to those who desire in good faith to reject Modernism and to be Catholics as Catholics have always been.

The docuмentary showed Mr. Bawden's acceptance of a young "seminarian" named Phil Friedl. Young Mr. Friedl struck me as a simple and naive but well-meaning young man who was unfortunate enough to have fallen under Bawden's sway. Was Phil Friedl still with the Bawdens when you were there, 62myer? Did you hear anything about him? I ask because I hope that he - like you - eventually left the Bawdenist sect and returned to Catholic Tradition.

Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Hello friend.

Last summer, I spoke with Phillip quite often. Since November 2013, I have only spoken with him a handful of times. When I spent 12 days with Mr. Bawden, I saw Phillip maybe 4 or 5 times.

As far as I know, Phillip is working a job and continuing his education. That is really all that I know. Phillip is really a dedicated, disciplined young man who has learned from the circuмstances around him and he is doing the best he can to carry his cross each day.

...watched the "Pope Michael" docuмentary... and found it greatly disturbing and tragic. Mr Bawden and his parents seemed to me to be very sincere in their belief that he is the pope. That sincerity, of course, does not diminish the gravity of schism and the establishment of an anti-papacy, but I pray that it will mitigate their culpability for those crimes.

Strange people are everywhere!

In Tennessee, I encountered a man who looked like Gandalf in a burlap sack.  He claimed to be descended from the prophet Elias.  He lived in a rusted-out old schoolbus that someone probably ran into the woods in the 1940s.  "The Prophet," as he called himself, wrote in English with Hebrew letters, going left to right.  A very thoughtless friend of mine gave him my address and I received a marriage proposal!  
 :fryingpan:He's most fortunate I turned him down!!!

I wish others here would post any supernatural gifts that God has given them.

I honestly can say, lately, I have been strongly favored to compose prayers.  I love doing this, it seems to bring me closer to God.  

Not sure if you could call this a supernatural gift but I don't mind saying, it has helped me to understand what God expects of me, at least that is what I seem to be getting from this "gift".  Sometime I spend hours just thinking of the correct word, that is the hardest part.  I have decided that there really are no words to be found that can express what I am trying to say to God, but I keep trying.  

Not sure this is a gift or just wishing it was.  

Sorry I did not mean to hijack your thread 62myer, just reading your notes here reminded me that maybe we all have a little gift from God, and it would be nice to share.  A few Sundays ago I recall a reading from the Bible, that God does give to different people different favors, or gifts, not all to one, but a little to all.
