    So James Cowan absolutely exists and he is the one receiving these funds. Maybe just maybe he's the one posting under the name Brogan also.

    Only somebody named James Cowan can get the funds. So you're claiming that maybe I could be pretending to be James Cowan and then having all the money go to someone named James Cowan as a scam? That is a laughable clownish conspiracy theory. But you haven't thought this through at all.
    Have some humility, man. You've asked for money, what, six times already? It's perfectly reasonable that people would be suspicious. If you are actually in need and these are genuine pleas for assistance, accept the suspicions or accusations of a FEW people as a cross that comes with the territory of receiving aid from MANY people

    • So the photos and medical records are not good enough to prove myself and now I have to involve my priest.

    I decided against doing that and edited it out. But now you have posted it anyway.

    Why don't you call him yourself? It would be the absolute most coming from a mod.

    I think there is a difference between being suspicious of someone and accusing someone of being a scam artist.  The former is unsure; the latter is not.

    If you had adopted more an attitude of humility along the lines of, "I get it.  You don't know me from Adam, and I understand if you don't want to send me anything as a result of the uncertainty.  But perhaps I could, oh, tell you the name of this [Traditional or other] priest I know that you all know, and you can find his phone number, e.g. call this priory here, and he could verify who I am."  That would be much more effective, rather than gaslighting people who have some reservations as engaging in "clownish conspiracy theory".
    Had he taken this approach, I would've apologized immediately and believed him.  As it is, now I disbelieve him much more.

    Quote
    But so long as you think that any questions or reservations along those line are personal attacks and then gaslight people who might have some reluctance due to this uncertainty ... you're only hurting your case.
    This is precisely why I challenged him.  To see his reaction.  Too many people are good-hearted on this site and I don't want them to be conned.

    • Ok thank you and may God reward you to everyone who showed us kindness and helped us out in this incredibly hard past year. I am out of here forever. I cannot handle this abuse and now it seems to be coming from the staff also.

    Please do not anyone bother Father Holland. It was against my better judgment to post his phone number and I edited it out right away, but then someone quoted me too fast and he is an old priest who is sick. Please leave him alone.

    "I cannot handle this abuse" 

    Wow, you this fragile in real life, too? No wonder.

    • I just sent a message to the site owner asking for my account to be deleted.

    Three people are relentlessly attacking me and the mod seems to be joining them now. Matthew said something like the sickness might have been my own fault. A spleen abscess is so rare that only 0.000697% Of the US population gets it each year. 50% of the people who get it die. That is not caused by me being overweight or smoking (Which I'm trying to quit.)

    Anyways, once the mod starts attacking you, it's time to leave.

    I did I spent it on diapers and food and bills while I was sick in the hospital.

    That money is gone now, but my wife and I are currently filing for bankruptcy for the hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical debt.
