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!
"James Randi's million dollar prize for the first genuine, documented paranormal event has never been claimed. I stand by my comment."
I wouldn't use THAT as your evidence. It only takes a shred of research to know that James Randi is an established lying fraud himself, and there is no ambiguity about that.
I hear the warnings, I also hear the ridicule and condemnation for my question that I poaed.
I should not have told anyone about any of this, I was warned.
I know real psychics don't advertise the fact they are psychic, KInow I know why.
The frauds and the fakes all have given them reason to keep to themselves.
I see what you all are saying, for the sake of my soul stay away from occultish things
I have never really gotten into such an blatent disregarde of God's Word. He says, stay away and I will.
There is a great deal of high-quality evidence to support the existence of so-called "psychic" activity. This comment isn't directed at you so much as the close-minded fools on this thread.
P.S. I am a scientist.
Now half of FreeRepiblic probably thinks I'm a real nut-case!
I wish I could be able to pose A question without looking dumb or nieve or gilible or really stupid!
Thanks! :o)
Check your Freepmail.
FR has the right thinkers and if your thinking is a little nutty...spend enough time at FR and you'll either leave or lose that nutty way of thinking.
Thanks, Got it!
I really am regretting putting up this thread,I was under the impression that the only dumb question was the unasked question.
BUT, Please don't call me nutty!
I wasn't calling you a nut, at all. I was I thought answering your question. If you're left leaning...well
I'm a conservative and proud of it.
I agree on what you meant by globalism, but have seen in misused frequently on this site.
All cleared up now. :)
I don't think anyone is denying 'psychic activity.' Just attributing its source properly.
Pippin isn't even slightly left-leaning. Not even close.
I have a large print Bible.
Oh..........I suppose I should have signed that 'Closed-minded fool,' eh?
The Randi challenge is your standard?
According to Randi's own website:
Randi's people conduct the preliminary test, and Randi (who has been quoted as saying that anything paranormal is impossible) is the sole arbite of whether it's been passed. Is it any wonder that no one has passed the preliminary test?
Randi gets to control all publicity and use of any data generated from the challenge.
And applicants must waive their right to sue Randi or JREF.
The so-called "million-dollar challenge" is set up to validate Ranid and in a way that makes sure no one can win it. And most people who look into it know this.
Randi admitted to sponsoring a fake psychic. They did an extensive tour of Australia.
His description of the room where Uri Geller worked was simply wrong in major respects.
He saw a person doing what is called "psychic writing" and said he could easily do the same thing with "parlor tricks" but when challenged, refused to do so.
Randi has been quoted (by a fellow skeptic) as saying "I always have an out."
And if you read Randi, he's a militant atheist who hates religion, especially Christianity, as much as he despises the paranormal charlatans.
But while 99 percent of them are confirmable charlatans,not all are.
So I can blame my Sunday School teachers from fifty years ago for making me a globalist.
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
