Ok, serious thread.

Are performing mediums the real deal or are they people who profit by preying on the bereaved?

I personally can see absolutely no evidence at all that they are genuine, but maybe someone can tell me differently. I have an open mind on the matter.

Like in all walks of life there are good ones and bad ones.

I don't think anyone will be able to convince you because to me it's a personal experience.

I've never been to a one, but there are so many questions that I would want to ask before hand that I think it would just put them right off.

Eldrick Report 3 May 2008 20:00

so what happens when you go to see one? What is the process, if I can put it that way

The thing is that once you start you say nothing ...absolutely nothing that way you know for sure they are not picking a story from your answers

tarot cards? I always thought that was a separate thing.

I sort of imagined them going into a trance and passing messages over fgrom the other side

the first time we went to our spiritualist church they
dindn`t know me from adam but the speeker of the night new more than I coud have told anyone about my father and my thoughts and a certain thing I used to do when talking to my past on father.

they also told me I had three gardians around me all the time I know these and whom they are .
we all have the gateway with in us but many are closed by our minds which are in denial to such things.

lol.Eldrick...they don't go into a trance...well mine doesn't...its just like sitting having a chat with someone x

Eldrick

Eldrick Report 3 May 2008 20:08

so do they say who it is or is it dead vague?

Like do they tell you 'I have your grandad Joe here?'
and then pass a message over?

Twinklyoceanblue Report 3 May 2008 20:10
