Have You Ever Been Tricked By Someone Claiming To Be Able To Contact The Dead?

[naomi24]

Driving home today I was listening to Jeremy Vine interviewing A J West about his new book, 'The Spirit Engineer', which examines, among other things, the reality or otherwise of the spirit world and the trickery used by charlatans to convince people that they are actually contacting the dearly departed. Mr West threw out a couple of 'cold' readings and asked listeners to phone in if they thought anything he said referred to them personally. I arrived home before anyone called so I've no idea of the outcome. Interesting nonetheless.

So … have you ever been tricked by a trickster - and when did you realise you had?

I never said that, naomi.... what is your view on the methods used?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm the same Shirley, I keep my powder dry, I have no need of the belief of others.

My own does me well.

[naomi24]

You said it’s all made up, pixie. You’re wrong. There’s no doubt there are very many frauds out there … but some aren’t.

[burlyshirley]

Exactly Mamya. My experiences get me through the worst of days.

[pixie374]

Naomi, what are your views, on the psychic "methods"? Agree, disagree?

[naomi24]

I’ve answered that.

[pixie374]

Where?

[pixie374]

Ok, you haven't, obviously. Let's not pretend any further. Carry on! :-)

[naomi24]

17.05

[johnny.5]

for anyone who might be interested

I shall be in contact with some spirits later

[pixie374]

Again, no answer. Awwww :-D

[naomi24]

Can you not read, pixie?

[pixie374]

Lol! Bless you. No answer at 17:05. Maybe you can't?
Don't worry, keep convincing those already convinced. It's AB.

[naomi24]

Which bit of my post at 17.05 don’t you understand, pixie?

[pixie374]

Nothing to understand, naomi. It says and proves nothing, whatsoever. Just your opinion.
Again, what do you think of the psychic methods? Genuine?

[naomi24]

What is wrong with you? I said at 17.05 some are genuine, many are not. What about that do you not understand, pixie?

[Mamyalynne]

Pixie, you are using very general terms 'the psychic methods' - unsure what you mean by that.

Many people have personal happenings without going near anyone you could describe as a psychic etc.

It occurs to me and it isn't a criticism that the autistic mind likes complete order and everything tidied up in a neat package - for some of us life just isn't like that.

[naomi24]

If pixie likes complete order she has a very strange way of showing it.

[pixie374]

Naomi. Again. There is nothing to understand. You have shown nothing to show "genuine". You refuse to answer about their methods. Your opinion, is not "fact".
You don't seem to be understanding what a question is

[pixie374]

That's my view too, mamya. People are not shallow and straightforward. Their minds are amazing. No insult taken x
I have asked naomi a question, that's all, with links. If she doesn't know,she is free to say so.
