I dont think that she really knows what she is talking about it seems to me that she just rambles alot!

Sylvia Brown has made some claims...such as helping solve murder cases for CA police (or whereever she lives)....they say...nope, it never happened. Not with Sylvia any way....

I have yet to hear her tell anyone anything that they could confirm themselves. Nope, don't believe Sylvia...

I believed when I was younger but then I learned about scams and such things. I don't believe in mediums or fortune tellers. Your loved one's that passed don't need a medium to contact you, that's what dreams are for. Sometimes you can hear them yourself, talking to you. Thats God helping you heal, not some medium. I personally think it's a bunch of crock. It's just suggestive guessing. People believe because they want to believe what they say is true.

That's what I was talking about above. I don't need John Edwards....

I don't think psychics are all a crock either....and I am not talking about that group of "Sister Mary's Palm Readers" with the neon signs....they are BS. But I've been to a psychic....I did NOT provide any information. She didn't fish for information either. Not to go into specifics...but this gal hit squarely on the head my circumstances at the time...everything. I didn't even acknowledge how right she was.....and she kept telling ME stuff. Maybe my mother was whispering in her ear, but she d-mn sure knew from somewhere.

Same here, and if they had told me to bring in a bag of twenty dollar bill and she needed to burn it after I was gone, to remove hex on me, I think I would be able to figure those ones out.
It's not to change your life in anyway.

I believe in mediums, but I think Edwards is a joke. I think Sylvia Browne is awesome and I think that she is annoying to some people because she is not convential - she is so overwhelmed by the outside world that she is all over the place, but I do believe she has the gift.

This is not a knock at religious people, but I think many people look at religion and God the same way as others look at psychics and think 'what a joke' or 'how can you possibly believe that?'. I don't want to give this thread a religious spin, but I believe that the way some people turn to psychics as a crutch is very similiar to the way that others turn to God as a crutch or a teller-of-all.

The one book I have, can't remember who's it is, but it tells you how to tune into your own ability ,,and not to flip anyone out... but I did it for weeks and eventually got the sign I was asking to receive, and it wasn't something I imagined or anything like that.. It happened. You know they say we all have the ability. I believe that.. even a womans intuition, is part of it.. and we all know how right on that is.

I so agree, and I believe that is why most religions are so against anything to do with psychics.

Rhonda - I know what you mean. I think that it has to do w/ the fact that humans only use 10% of their brains. When you put your mind to it, you channel the parts that you don't normally use.

As you can tell, I am really interesed in this topic

Hmmm, I don't remember that commandment....

Don't understand why religions would be against it. Just who do they think gave some people these powers or the ability to tap into it? I am not trying to start an argument here either. I understand some people's religious views are against this.....

I did some serious religious reading after my mother died...no psychic mum boo jumbo....it was of great comfort. I was really looking for WHY. I may have told you guys already....but I couldn't understand why someone would die that had so many people praying for another outcome. I asked our preacher....how come if God answers prayers, he didn't this time? His rely was..."Deb, he does answer prayers, it's just sometimes the answer is no."

right on sister....
