This is just a curiosity I have from my "travels" throught the internet and "google".
Now, after about 4 years of being a Freeper, I really do have fun here!
I've met lot's a different people from all over this country and also from other countries.
Most of you know me by now (I know, the trouble maker from MD! LOL!)
My question and comment has very little to do with politics (Or shouldn't have).
I have been looking up info on psychics and thier predictions on variuos websites and listings.
I've read all sorts of "predictions" that seem to paint a very dark picture of the future, both of our nation and President Bush and indeed the world.
Most predictors seem to have made predictions with a very liberal bent.
even one that claimed President Bush is a medium or a psychic!
others say he'll either resign by the end of this year under scandal or he'll go crazy or get very ill and die or be assasinated.
No mention of impeachment, but I'm sure it's coming!
All this leads to my question
Aren't there any Conservative Psychics or mediums?
Why do the ones I read about tend to be left-leaning Bush/America-hating liberals?
Am I missing something here?
I'll have to tell you something (at risk of being called crazy)
I do have limited psychic abilities, but I am not getting any major vibes making outlandish claims.
I am a Conservative Christian and don't think there is anything wrong with having certain abilities, you just have to be careful of were these abilities come from.
God can bestow these gifts on a person and that is good
but, be careful that they ARE from God, and not the Devil.
God bless all of you!
You can just go right to the source.........John 3: 16........"For God so loved the WORLD....."
Do you think I should have this thread pulled?
Damn globalist. Then there was the Roman Catholic Church trying to convert the whole world and all these missionaries trying to do the same.
er, I'm a Catholic!
It's up to you, Pippin.
"I don't think anyone is denying 'psychic activity.'"
I'm pretty sure there are plenty here who are doing just that. Frauds like "Miss Cleo" make it an easy mistake, but doing so without properly examining the evidence does indeed make one a close-minded fool.
I don't think I'm going to, I'm gonna see how far this thread goes before it's consigned to the archives and forgotten. (I hope it's forgotten)
Old GW Bush too.......thinking that all people are of equal value in the eyes of God. What's up with that?
Could you point me to one or two of the 'plenty' who are denying that psychic activity exists?
While I haven't researched Randi as thoroughly as perhaps I should I am still unaware of a single example of documented, proven paranormal activity. I mean something contemporary, something that has held up under rigorous scientific scrutiny. If you know of such an event I would be very interested in hearing about it.
OK good for you.
Never mind. I just saw one.......
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby was a mental healer. His work was verified and it was detailed by his followers. That was a long time ago, but it's one case off the top of my head.
Give that boy of yours a big hug and kiss from this FReeper and tell him Thanks a Million. My eldest is on a pleasure cruise under the Pacific as a crew member on the sub Louisiana. He is a Nuke.
I would say Edgar Cayce did legitimate work.
Pippin, I'm in Maryland too. Where are you? (You can FReepmail me if you don't want to answer that on the board.)
LOL!!
That's not psychic....
That's just 20/20 vision....
And thank your eldest for me too. What would we do without these kids??
Both excellent writres whom I enjoy very much.
Try Judge Thomas Troward.
You do know, I assume, that a group of Biblical scholars (after extensive study and discussion) concluded that John is the LEAST reliable of teh Gospels. It has, according to these scholars, NONE of what Jesus actually said, or even his ideas. The Gospel of Thomas has more.
