I think there are more “new” charisms than the Holy Spirit actually inspired. So instead of inventing things why not give your life to one already. No offense to anyone, but there is nothing more pathetic for a person to say “I’m a founder” when its only her and some crazy person. This is not the begginings of a religious order.
It is the beggining of a possible circle of attention with rules and regulations.

I used she because men seem to be less crazy about founding.
It is usually a priest that does these things. And they rarely work.

Ever heard of the joke…

There only somethings God does not know…

How much money the Franciscans have…

What the Jesuits are planning next…

And how many female religious orders are there…
I would definitely be careful on saying that these ideas were not Holy Spirit-inspired. How do you know that? There are those who are serious about such things because they have received internal conversions from the Lord. So before you say all of us are joking, you might want to take a look at some founders’ stories and see that most of the posts on here are very similar. I don’t necessary like what you are insinuating. I will pray for you.

What is your point in posting this? Are you actually saying that all of us here are planning to start our own religious order because we just posted some ideas? This was strictly an idea forum. I know that most of just purely love religious life, so I don’t think there is any harm in showing that. I think you are taking this way too seriously.

Hello CG…I think perhaps this thread can be taken way too seriously too and it is easily done, I don’t know how many times I have been posting into a thread and then noticed the title of the thread which had gone from my mind, to realize that I was off the topic completely.

The title of the thread and the opening question tells it all I think:
“If you were to form you own order…?”
This is indeed an idea, speculating, or theorizing thread only and some interesting ideas have cropped up I think and interesting discussions too. Whether these ideas would actually work in practise is another matter and another subject entirely asking far more thought, prayer and spiritual guidance than is the purpose of this thread…well my ideas certainly would,

I meant it in response to those who actually said they were wanting to actually found an order. Read back a bit.
