Because they don't exist. Spiritualists are just con artists or misguided misfits.

A few possible reasons would be that, first, they are phonies and it is not real. Second, if they do have any kind of 'power' it's possible that they are sensitive in more of a 'psychic' kind of way and they can guess correctly when they are claiming they are speaking to a dead loved one. Some people can do that. I don't think it's actually a magical power, just a type of mind power that allows them to be able to think of people who once lived and describe them and things that may have happened when they were alive. That wouldn't be entirely a hoax but I don't believe they are contacting an actual 'spirit from the heavens'.
The other option would be that they are contacting a spirit and that there is no God or heaven as most people know it. It may be more of a spirit world where our ideas of a God character and Heaven being an actual place are completely different from what actually happens. OR, if there is a God and Heaven in the traditional sense, for some reason the spirits don't want to talk about it.

Because, spiritualism is merely a cult created by humans based on self interpretted half truths and conjectures nt anything creating or promoting confidence, whereas a true religion has its source from divine inspiration which bestows confidence and conviction followed by strength.When the spiritualists are talking to a spirit in the afterlife, it is a mere bluff.By the way, what benfit they can drive by talking to an unknown spirit, except for creating false sensation?

Because its to controversial. I believe in God and the afterlife and Im a spiritualist. BUt I avoide the name God if I can and substitute it with Creator or powers that be. And this is Christianitys fault, making people uncomfortable about anything the churches arent readily teaching.

My my all the things one learns here. Spirits are demons deceptions of Satan, there are spirits etc. a fountain of knowledge and insight. How about there are no such things. People are simply gullible and uneducated always willing to accept the outrageous over reality. It's a sham a performance a way of making a living. God is a good thing to mention since most certainly if you believe in spirits, the afterlife, Satan etc you also believe in the ultimate irrationality god. Throw him in for good measure to ad weight to the "answers". Sorry have to go now my poltergeist friend is calling me.

because it was not the question, and it will not be mentioned. They assume that you know it all about God and heaven. Next time you go for a visit asked specifically to get an answer, and my guess is that you would need to go and see a medium.

I have read lots of channeling, and by their own admission, the
"spirits" we talk to are not perfect. The majority of telepathic
contact with other lifeforms is with beings on the dimensions
closest to ours. But they are still low compared to the whole of
Creation. These beings have thier own interests and free will, and
form their own conclusions about things.
"Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God."

Because they don't ask to Channel God or Jesus Christ. Another reason is that your nearest priest, pastor and other clergy are doing God and Jesus Christ. They want to talk to spirits that God told them not to communicate with.This is how they get your attention, your local church already has God covered.

Spirits can be expressions of God. And heaven is what you make of it. Unexamined and/or untreated paranoid schizophrenic types underestimate God and/or Jesus when they put them into their box (mind). and their heart is troubled. They are seemingly stuck in a quagmire of delusion barely cultivating any means to find the cause of their ignorance.
Bless them for they not know what they do.

Why is it that all these "spirits", supposedly knowing all the secrets of the afterlife just come back to say " Grandad's dentures are down the back of the couch" ?

"Never" is a big word, honey, with all due respect. Jeanne Dixon said that her gift was from God. I agree that sometimes these spiritists are communicating with demons. Why try and communicate with the deceased, if it were possible, when we can talk directly to God?
