[I still care]

I read a very interesting expose last year in the Christian Research Institite magazine on telephone psychics. The person writing it worked as a telephone psychic. He rationalized it by telling himself that he was doing a lot of good - he would tell people to go to a professional counselor if they needed it, etc. People seemed to really need someone to talk to, and he took it to heart.

However, it bothered him that these people were paying by the minute, and ended up leaving because he realized, at the end, no matter how he thought he might help a person, in the end, he was just decieving them.

I recommend the Christian Research Journal for those who like to delve deeply into Christian theology, apologetics, and fraud. After reading it regularly one is much less likely to be taken in by religious scams such as John Edwards.

religious scams such as John Edwards

I didn't realize that John Edward's show is a religious scam. I've watched it extensively, and there is absolutely NO religious content. Makes me think that YOU have NOT watched him.

As for him helping people, I had suffered the loss of my Dad and my favorite nephew, within two months of each other. I began watching John Edward, and I must say, he made me realize that I should open my eyes and be aware that there ARE "messages" being sent. No need for a medium, he even SAYS that. And I do get the messages now, quite frequently. Thanks to John Edwards.
