Sensing bullshit

[007XX]

What? Defending that utter tripe/magnificent reflection of Kiwi life, now, are we?
PS - ever get the feeling that you can't win?
PPS - and you needn't think you can use the 'Fine' word. I'm used to that one.

Ok then, How about : "Bite me!"??

Unfortunately for you, I am a medium, and I can sense that within two days, your willy is going to have trouble looking up, and you will be looking for a more holistic approach to life...

Rightihoo good topic, in my opinion the only way I will be fully convinced that these psychics are true and for real indeed, is if I encountered them personally.

One of the psychics from sensing murder, Deb Webber is doing a show here in NZ and critics are invited to tag along. I wonder what would happen if one of us went to the show and she turned out to "read" us or "sense" to one of our deceased ones and provided detailed private information.

I'd freak myself out and convert to believe them. Here's more info:

Knock yourself out. And let me predict what the next few posts will be, "Who's gonna pay $70 to see that shit" hehe if you really and truly want to prove them wrong or want to know about it you might as well go to the show and see for yourself. I am thinking of going just to see what the feck this is all about.

P.S. 0oh if in case you lot are thinking it's a load of shit, then there are equally opposites in the society and I can see her shows are sellouts !! Aaaaaaaah...

[MSTRS:Me]

Thanks for the prediction, O Wise Woman. I'll be sure to remember not to really annoy you.....
Nice plug, Mynameis. Hope you got your kickback contract in writing

The thing is, as skeptical as I am, she is the one that would make me think twice about it!

She is either a very good make believer, or she's the real deal...

Well that's what it is mate I get where you're coming from. Say if someone buys a ticket for $70 and sits there and she doesn't do your "predictions" then it's a waste. But hey it all comes down to individual choice, she doesn't guarantee she will "read" everyone in the audience. I am just really curious on wtf this whole thing is about so might tag along a "believer" who's paying for my tickets hum hum hum hohoho0o0

Before dismissing someone/somebody's theory, abilities ect just by looking at a TV show it is only wise to see it first hand and experience it first hand. You will then be in a better position to judge.

[fireball]

each to their own eh?

this could very well be a who believes in god thread too

people pay hundreds to see a raving man claiming to listen and talk to god how is this much different?


its all about faith and who believes in what and if TVNZ are getting good ratings from people watching it then someone has to believe in this.

dont moan if you cant do any better.

I'm not personally criticising anyone's faith... just that I'm sick of places like TVNZ exploiting it!

I say if lots of someones buy a ticket @ $70...then she gets very well paid. Doesn't matter if the 'show' is Bullshit or not.

I've been to one show where the medium was very vague, and would prod for information... To me it all seemed like a huge set up... I do think it is extremely low that people out there play on peoples emotions in order to make money...

HOWEVER...

I've not let that one show stop me from still being open minded about it.. And I do believe that there ARE people out there who do actually have abilities that just can't be explained..

Also... There is someone very close to me who has had a personal reading done... And the women managed to come out with things that no one should have known.. But sure enough.. She knew it all... And she even mentioned things that would happen in 2 years... And what do you know... It happened!

I'd love to have a reading with a psychic done...

It could all turn to custard... And I could find out its all a load of bollocks, and that every psychic/medium is a fake..

Or..........

Something worthwhile could come out of it... Which in turn could ease alot of hurt for myself and my family..

I'd rather find out for myself than always sit here wondering... "what if"

I believe in psychics purely because my own experiences make it difficult for me not to believe in them. Yeah, I guess this means that people can have super powers

I've seen Deb Webber live (and no, I didn't pay for my own ticket). When her show was finished, I left feeling unsure about whether or not it was real. It's always possible that there were people planted in the audience for her to talk to.

She walked up to one particular lady and said "I've got loads of people wanting to talk to you. I'm seeing them in coffins." It turns out this particular lady was a funeral director so that kind of explained it!

The problem is, anyone who is able to expose these people are very very quickly shut down.

I remember reading about a lady who went on Oprah as a "critical thinker" to provide resistance to a team of psychics. She was ridiculed, given an unfair amount of coverage and shot down in every way. Of course the audience was completely against her as well.

These people come in packs and they're relentless when together to defend their "abilities".

[Curious_AJ]

I've only ever been able to watch 5mins of the show before I turn it off.. its total crap on that show...

I believe psychics may exist, but they probably wouldnt go flaunting it stupidly on tv like that.... I saw the advert of the one show with "just one blade of grass moving"... there were actually a BUNCH of them moving around the one that the camera was focussed on...

I think the show is an insult to so many people, in so many ways.

Just one reading and you'd be convinced?

Another thing is that a lot of us seem to undermine the fact that if you spew enough bullshit out there, regardless of the success ratio...something will probably hit home.

What happens is that when the information is spread far, wide and vaguely...loads of it can have nothing to do with you but the moment one little thing relates, you feel shocked and amazed that they could have known. If the psychic or medium or whatever picks up that they've hit something, they will exploit it. They'll then throw a whole lot more "information" out there until something hits again...when that happens your reaction is bigger as this magical person has now hit on two things that they shouldn't have known!

I understand exactly what you have to say don't get me wrong, I am fully aware of what you just posted. I have already seen a "psychic" do exactly that. She would pick people out of the audience, she would also ask them questions, and people would give her answers that she needed. What made it seem like more of a crock is that she wouldn't do private readings for anyone. One bad apple hasn't put me off though.

As for the meeting, I guess that it would depend on what information they came out with. All I can do is find out for myself, if I'm satisfied I'm satisfied.
