anyone with the real gift that supposedly can speak with the dead DO NOT CHARGE ITS THEIR GIFT
SO IF ANYONE IS GONNA CHARGE YA THEN THE REASON IS .. IS COZ THEY SRE FAKE .. THE REAL SPYCICS DONT CHARGE A PENNY

......................well said......................

Anyway - I should make it clear that I am not disputing that there may well be a form of life after death.....I hope so.... what I despise is the celebrity status accorded to these cold reading charlatans who make lots of money from peoples grief, vulnerability and gullibility.

They are, in my view, shameless parasites who should be kept in windowless cells for the remainder of their lives.

Elderick night night
it makes me feel better if i think i know that im gonna see all the people in my life that have died when i have .. its what keeps me going .
take care and night night sweet dreams and lolly pops

lol Rose - nice style!

But I'm going to live this life to its absolute maximum on the chance....rightly or wrongly...that when I croak it, as we all must do, then thats it.

And if Im wrong and there is something else, great!

And if I'm right....well, I wont have wasted my time on false hopes and I will have had a ball!

But you're right, we're all wired differently and it makes for interesting discussions.

Sleep well :-)

night WC xxxxxxx

Hi, think Dizzi meant it way you see it Ian.
Night Rose :)

Elderick that ok if you dont believe
sometimes it makes life better to think there is something before you die..
there maybe nothing and the soo called (people who say this and that) but it can be a real healer .. i personally would rather know there was more to death than just death ..
i wanna think i can float the skies and haunt all the horrid people that i want lol
i know what you mean and i respect your views.. but they aint mine and that kool coz im a kool person ..
and im also of to play games so night night ...
Rosex
ps i mean after you die im a doofus lol

Not that sort of prof help........................

Maybe I misread it...............................

No, she hasn't got a point and I hope she meant it differently to the way I read it!

If it is meant to read that I go to see a professional medium, then I already have, several times.

I see nothing to commend their craft to me. I see plenty to indicate it is total fraud done by very amateurish cold reading and Barnum statement methods, which I think I am quite good at!

Eldrick.....................

Dizzi may have a point................!!

This is a transcript of a Greek Doctor of Psychiatry who challenged Gordon Smith on live television.....it puts it into perspective for me....

'I dont want to ask you about what you do, how you do it, are there any tricks etc...but rather about the reason why you do it. You've mentioned several times that you dont benefit from this financially, only through your sales of your books which as an author of course you have every right to do so, but the argument that you maintain of doing this in order to ease human pain i feel is-to put it mildly- "heavy"(meaning over-the-top) in my perception.

Do you know why i say this? Because following the loss of a loved one, grief is natural and only becomes pathological when prolongued. Conversing with spirits prolongues, in the mind of a person not only in Scotland as the previous psychologist mentioned, but also here in Greece where people always have believed in the existence of ghosts and i refer you to Homer, what you do prolonges this idea they that have conjured in their minds and thus prolonges their pain.

I don't think that this lady's pain has been eased, perhaps only during that second, but it would have been wiser in such a case to undergo therapy which would aim to eliminate this pain from the source. We are all mortals, and will all eventually die.

There is no point in prolonging, or rather it goes against science and medicine to prolongue grief in the human mind. Indeed, if I may say so, it borders on unethical in terms of medical ethics. Because we psychiatrists are trying to do exactly the opposite, we are trying to eradicate grief not prolongue it."

Dizzi....

I take it you arent suggesting I need professional help....

Please tell me you aren't!

:-)

Elderick
i understand where ya coming from..
but if someone said to me your mum was happy and died the way she wanted ( which i know it was) .. god i would be happy
i dont care whether i you believe or not (thats what i wanna hear ).
sometimes when one is grieving anything said can make a person feel better . but i wouldn't be in argument if someone didnt believe each to their own . i still believe in farther Christmas god help anyone who says he dont exist

HELLO E

I'M TIRED SO YOU KNOW MY WORDS GO WRONG
WHY NOT GET PROFFESSIONAL ADVICE
DONT KNOW WHERE,BECAUE I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE,

BUT IM,SURE YOU CAN

NITE NITE ,,,NITE ALL 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ditto Rose :)
Well said there Ian

Oh, absolutely. I totally agree, Rose.

As everyone has the right to disbelieve - and lay their case out for being a non - believer.

As long as it doesn't turn into a personal slagging match, there is no problem. Although there are plenty of people on these boards who are not capable of discussing anythng without getting into personal arguments!

elderick .. sometimes i think people believe what they want to believe
and if it makes em feel better .. then so be it .
if you dont believe the you dont ..
no problem ..

Quite likely put them out of business :-)
