Spiritualists fruad or more?

Question

Anyone had an incident with a medium that was more than a lucky guess??.

Answer 1

What, like Derren Brown's seance, which was better than most mediums :)

Answer 2

Lets get something straight first, Spiritualism is a recognised religion in Great Britain, and not all Spiritualists are mediums. Just the same that not all mediums are Spiritualists. A medium's role is to give evidence of the continuation of life after so-called physical death, not fortune telling.

Being a Spiritualist Medium myself I have many friends that are also mediums. I have personally had evidence given to me by mediums, I have also given evidence of survival to others. These are not "lucky guesses". How can a lucky guess give you the physical discription, what their personality is like, memories etc of a passed loved one?

On the other hand, you do have to be aware of frauds, unfortunately they are around. If anyone wants to have a reading with a medium I would say to go on personal recommendation or visit a Spiritualist Church.

Answer 3

If faith is a good method to know the existence of God, why is the same method not used in a court of law to determine who murdered someone? Before you send someone to die, isn’t it a good idea to make sure it’s the right person? Should you pick anybody off the street and ask them to prove they did not commit the murder, and if they don’t know what you are talking about, they are obviously guilty? Should the burden of proving you did not do the murder rest on you or on he who claims it was you and accuses you? If I start claiming that I feel God within myself, shouldn’t I show you some evidence? Or since you don’t know what I am talking about, you are obviously deaf, and have no eyes to see, no introspective ability, so you must be obviously illogical, and all I have to tell you is “Pray and have faith!.”

In the Middle Ages someone who couldn’t prove that the Devil DID NOT talk to him, was guilty anyway and had to be tortured and killed. We could still do that experiment and just pick anyone off the street and tell him or her that WE KNOW that Satan has possessed him/her. We KNOW, not by proof of evidence, but because the Blue Angel spoke to us. How about that method in a court of law? It would cost expensive lawyers, and it would save the taxpayers money.

Since when it comes to practical application faith is the same in every religion, why don’t all faithful join together in Iran and form the new country of the AlmightyAllahJehovaShivaVishnu Incorporated?

Answer 4

I think it is mostly auto-suggestion or self hypnosis. My sister usted to give 'readings' tarot card ones but she quit in part because the clients told her more than she told them. They would fill in the gaps of what she had said and they would tall her she had said things she would be unlikely to say.
Also some people always wanted the cards to say someting else.

At best it is wishful thinking. Mostly it is a way to be seen as 'special' without doing anything special.

Answer 5

Fruad?
