Умер Глеб Подмошенский

Gleb Podmoshensky was a remarkable man. He had an energetic charism, and vitality and bright intelligence and many talents. Everyone who met him, loved him instantly. He loved to be around people. He saw himself as a persecuted elder, like those of the Northern Russian monastic tradition.[ the so-called, 'Non-possessors '] He believed that all bishops, always persecuted righteous elders.[ as with Vladyka John Maksimovich... and himself too] He did not trust or like bishops, except Archbishop John Maksimovich.. In his life, he accomplished many things, some good, some bad. But, he made schism, he presented himself as a wise spiritual staretz, he gathered many around him, in a personality cult, especially here in America, with young people, both naeve converts and grand-children of Russian emigrants and others. He mislead many, into harmful ways. He made his own personal war on our church and set himself up, as his own church. He created a cult around himself, as do many schismatics and heretics of all past ages.
Many of these confused people still think of him as a saint.
I predict that soon they will paint icons of him! and pray TO HIM.
Therefore, now at his passing from this world, we should indeed remember his good deeds, PRAY FOR HIS SOUL, but because of the tremendous evil that he also did, we dare not overly praise him, or elevate him as some sort of prophet-saint..
HE WAS NOT A SAINT!
However, many will see him as a saint. That is why I give my testimony about him.
And those, as myself, who speak the truth about him, we are vilified and made to seem as liars.
Long ago, making an oath and kissing the Gospels and the Cross, in front of Vladyka Anthony(Medvede v), I gave my own personal sworn testimony, as did a number of others.
I KNOW OF WHAT I TESTIFY. And, I DO NOT LIE!
But I do not hate Herman, I feel profound sorrow for him.
He and I were close friends, long ago.
He had serious mental and spiritual unbalance.
In human affairs, there is a common tendency to...overly glorify the departed, and to brush over or ignore OR DENY their faults, and in some cases to even proclaim them as some sort of 'a saint'.
In this case of Herman (Gleb) Podmoshensky), only those who personally closely knew him [ and who suffered from him] and who have been in this Western US ROCOR diocese for many many years, as I have, can possibly know the full truth about him, good and bad,
Others, only hear pros or cons, [ gossip] from the mouths of others, and they do not know the full story.
He will no doubt be buried at Platina Monastery.
May God have mercy upon his soul!
We need to avoid false elders, and false prophets, in these terrible End times. (Fr, Herman himself, taught this warning!)
Gleb Podmoshensky, was among these false elders.
Rd. Daniel

В книге "Не от мира сего" он как то принижает значение о. Серафима , рисуя его идущим под своим чутким руководством. Также Герман имел какую то странную неприязнь к епархиальному архиерею , архиеп. Антонию . Почему ?
