glad your mom did OK ciscop - that's good news
- don't get me wrong here if someone HAS a genuine ability ( rare as hens teeth IMO) and has no other means of earning a crust , then it would be churlish of me to deny them that - as you said the guy had a donations bowl - and if individuals considered his help ( or hers as the case may be ) worthy of recompense - then fair dos
but you and i know there are lots of fakes out there who use their "supposed "abilities to rake it in , either by charging for readings , appearing on TV , writing endless books etc -THESE are the people I rail against - they are conning people - and using the field for materialistic ends -( like wise those who use it to promote their own EGO ) - i have coined the term "PAYCHIC'S " to describe them
and THESE are the people who pollute the field so much that the proper study of claims is becoming nigh impossible ( IMO )
likewise i get pissed at all the " wannabies " who read a few books or watch a couple of episodes of ghost hunters etc and then set them selves up as the next best thing to ,well whatever - they are full of the proverbial - and i have met quite a few - about as "psychic " as my right knee ( which can predict rain BTW
or is that the arthritis in it ?? )
hope that gos some way to explaining my thinking /attitude to the money issue ??
