Jackthehat //Whether you or I believe that members of Spiritualist churches are actually conversing with the dead......the majority of them really DO believe they are, and they don't seek to profit from their 'gifts' or anyone else's distress.//
Me //That much is reserved for the enlightened one . . . the one passing 'round the collection plate. //
Naomi //Actually, whilst without doubt that happens elsewhere, it doesn't happen in the Spiritualist church in the UK. As Jack says, the people there do believe they are genuine and they don't seek to profit from it.//
Preliminary research bears out your affirmation of what Jackthehat stated, Naomi. My apologies to those to which my accusation does not apply and thanks to you both for enlightening me. :o)
