have you or anyone you've known, ever had an experience with Sylvia Browne or John Edwards?

Answer 1

Televangelist Oral Roberts rivaled Falwell’s water-slide act with a pretty dramatic act of his own. Early last year he told his followers that he was warned by God that if he did not raise $8,000,000 by March 31, he would be “called home.” In his closing prayer he said: “Extend my life. Let me live beyond March.” His son pleaded: “Let’s not let this be my dad’s last birthday!” This emotional blackmail by Roberts and son worked. Roberts stayed in his prayer tower—supposedly it put him 200 feet [60 m] closer to God—and his television audience came up with the $8,000,000. One of his followers, however, was philosophical about it: “If he did die, that would not be bad. Heaven is a good place to be.”

One time he regaled his TV audience with a harrowing tale that ended happily. The Devil came into his bedroom and grappled with him. As Roberts reported it: “I felt those hands on my throat, and he was choking the life out of me. I yelled to my wife, ‘Honey, come!’ She came in and commanded the devil to get out. I began to breathe and came out of my bed strong.” Apparently, his wife had more power over the Devil than he did.

In 1980 when funds were lagging, he told of seeing a 900-foot [270 m] Jesus standing in His bare feet talking to him. This vision led to $5,000,000 in donations. He claims to have raised dead people. On one occasion, he reported: “I’ve had to stop a sermon, go back and raise a dead person.” All of which caused Newsweek to comment: “Oral Roberts says he has raised the dead, but raising cash is what he’s up to.”

Answer 2

Never did, never will spend a cent (or pay her standard consultation fee of $700/hr) using charlatan Browne's services. Unless she accepts and wins the James Randi $1 Million Paranormal Challenge (won't happen soon). I don't know much about Edwards, but psychic sharks usually roam the same waters.

Answer 3

Yes, Sylvia said their missing child was dead and described the location. The child was finally found, alive and kicking.

Answer 4

No. Not with either. I used to be "in awe" of John Edwards and used to watch him incessantly ("Crossing Over").

After subsequent research, I've recently come to believe he is not all that he appears to be.

Answer 5

As the kids used to say, "Eeeewww, icky!"

They are both outrageous frauds.

Answer 6

My sister went to see someone and asked where an adult child had gone off to. They were so far off that it was a joke. And the return date was off a year.
