Do you think Sylvia Browne is a fake?

Question

Sylvia Browne is that phsycic that comes out on the Montel Show at Wednesdays and Fridays.People ask her questions about unusual events and she answers them.For example:A lady asks her how her mothers doing in heaven or something and then she describes how she thinks her mother looks like and she says to the lady that her mother is right on back of her.

Answer 1

I think that she has been deceived by a seducing spirit who feeds her truth when it suits it's purposes of getting her to lead other people away from God and into the occult.

Are Sylvia Browne’s Teachings Dangerous?
by Stacie Spielman

I have only recently begun tuning into the Montel Williams show when he has his friend Sylvia Browne as a guest. While I see that Sylvia is telling people what they need to hear in order to feel better, and offers what appears to be helpful information regarding crimes, I am appalled at the damage she’s doing by telling people to seek medical help when what they’re dealing with is demonic harassment.

These people come to Sylvia with the certainty that they’re being visited or attacked by a dark spirit or spirits, and Sylvia blows it away by saying, “There’s no such thing as an evil spirit. You need to see a doctor.” I have heard her say this to a woman who reported being thrown about her bedroom, one who reported seeing a demonic face any time she looks in the mirror of her dead grandfather’s house, one who reported being sexually attacked by a demon, and one who said a demonic spirit has physically put his fingers around her neck and tried to choke her. Some even report having been scratched or bruised in the conflict.

I’m not a psychiatrist, but neither is Sylvia. I have personally experienced being struck numerous times by a spirit – one blow resulting in a black eye. When my husband and I were in the process of breaking free of the spirit realm aspect of the occult, my husband was physically attacked by dark spirits on more than on occasion. A lady of my acquaintance experienced having a male ghostly figure lift the cover, climb into bed beside her, and whisper vile obscenities into her ear. Sylvia Browne would have said we all need to see a doctor. She would believe this was all in our heads. We all know better.

Sylvia Browne gets her information about the spirit realm from her spirit guide Francine. Francine takes what she likes from the Bible and denies or ignores the rest. Francine and Sylvia say flat out that Satan and dark spirits do not exist. The Bible says they do. And I say they do. I have no personal experience with Satan – only with a spirit who claimed to be him – but I’ve had plenty of experience with spirit guides who claimed to be of God, and later revealed their true identity as demons. (See my book Betrayed by Her Guardian Angel.)

By telling people such as the woman who was being strangled that she needs to see a doctor and be put on medication – without first exploring the possibility that she’s a sane victim of demonic harassment, Sylvia is closing the door to real help for this lady -- help in the form of knowledgeable advice about what brought this harassment into her life, and what needs to be done to end it.

I have no doubt that Sylvia would think half the people I counsel through my website are paranoid schizophrenics. Yet those who have cut the ties I advise them to cut, then begun saying prayers to God in Jesus’ name to stop the harassment, have solved their own problem – without the aid of medication. This is because their problems weren’t medical or psychiatric. They were related to demonic spirit harassment.

Sylvia Browne is fortunate in that her spirit guides have yet to turn against her or reveal their identities as demons. Or maybe I was the lucky one in that my guides DID turn against me, which led me to read what the Bible says about spirits – namely, to have nothing to do with them. Both the old and new testaments are replete with references to Satan and evil spirits. The Bible even assigns a name to spirits such as Sylvia Browne’s guide Francine, and people such as Sylvia who talk to these ‘familiar spirits’ and what they believe to be spirits of the dead. It calls these people spiritists and necromancers, and warns us to stay away from them.

Sylvia Browne may be helpful at times. At times, she may be funny. But Sylvia is leading people astray. Among other fallacies, she’s telling them reincarnation exists, and demonic spirits don’t. And by sending people to psychiatrists when they’re not mentally ill she is setting them up for a lifetime of demonic harassment (plus side effects from medication), without addressing the real problem.

Answer 2

I like to watch her on Montel and the people who she answers those questions for are surprised when she right on and there are times when she doesn't give them the answer I guess they want. But for the most part she tells
them enough so they are at peace about their loved ones,
some say she is a fake, but no one can really know for sure, but if she makes those families feel better then it's
really up to them whether she's right on or just a good guesser.

Answer 3

I kind of believe that she is a fake!!! I remember watching a documentary on these psychics and the psychics openly admitted that the people who ask them questions in the show, are given an opportunity to speak to the psychic before the show about the questions they have, hence the psychics knowing certain stuff about the persons!!

Answer 4

I think she is fake. She gives general answers about things, and I haven't seen them follow up on the specifics she does give like where a dead body is buried. I also watched one show where she predicted Al Gore would be the next president, and Bush won so she was wrong on that. The only thing she was right on was that Brad and Jen would get divorced, but in Hollywood you figure most marriages break up so that wasn't too surprising.

Answer 5

Hee, hee, hee! I think Sylvia has a bit of the old carnival huckster in her. From my perspective she tells people "what," they want to hear, as does John Edward.

Neither of them are bad people, I call them entertainers, because that is what they are doing.

It's entertainment, sometimes at the expense of those that want a real answer to their question. If I had a choice, between the two, as to which one to watch on TV, I would watch John, he has the "entertainment factor," down to a science. Also, he's cute!

Answer 6

yeah, i'm ver convinced she is fake. she's just like all the other psychics who summon "spirits", they may or may not know they are just using evil spirits, to tell them things. Evil spirits impersonate the departed dead just like in Genesis( i think it was genesis). Then the psychics always tell you about things that happened in the past in your life, which is easy because evil spirits in hell have seen what you do so they just tell and/or play it back to them what happened. and then the psychic makes some calculations of what might happen in the future but they cant ever see the future because the evil spirits are of course evil. Only God can see the future, him and people who receive the Holy Spirit and worship God through Jesus Christ, because you get many benefits from worshipping and praising God like deliverence from destruction and evil, healing, and prophecy.

Answer 7

Very fake, my brother can do the same thing, he is a mentalist. Banachek is his stage name. He fooled scientist into believing he had psychic powers. If you want to read more about it go to this site
http://www.banachek.org/nonflash/project_alpha.htm
He worked with James Randi, who has offered a million dollars to anyone who can prove they are really psychic, no collectors yet.

Answer 8

I'm very convinced she is not fake. I have met her on several occasions. One interesting fact is this: She tried to contact John F. Kennedy and tell him NOT to go to Dallas. She even spoke to the secret service about it and TOLD THEM WHY. This is documented.

Answer 9

No, No ....na she said I was Pirate in my previous life.

Memory like an elephant, I never forgot what she said either.

Answer 10

yea cause my friend was obbsessed with her and stuff and she went to see her in person and she asked her "when is the world gonna end" and she was like "its all up to you" i mean if she was psycic then she would know~!!
