[QUOTE=Mrs. Robinson;1428838]Are you saying that because this church is not a Christian church, it is no good and worthless?

That's what I am understanding from your quote which indicates you have no tolerance for Unitarianism.

No, I am continually offended by the uninformed that assume that because a place is called a church, it is "Christian". If a church does not acknowledge, and attempt to obey, Jesus Christ as God, they are not "Christ-followers" - CHRISTian.
That goes for Westboro Baptist too, by the way, as far as I'm concerned.

[QUOTE=Barefoot;1428787]I have no doubt that most mediums are money-hungry imposters; but a special few are genuine.
I had a private reading with Suzanne about 6 years ago. (She now has a two-year waiting list).
Suzanne is an evidence-based medium, and she offered me indisputable (to me) evidence of contact with the spirit world.
I've also attended Suzanne's monthly sessions at the Unity Church for the past seven years.
I've grown to believe that Suzanne is a genuine and gifted medium.
I understand that some people are skeptics -- belief systems are complex and personal.
I'm posting to answer Tal's question, not to
try to change anyone's mind.
[/QUO

I know that Suzanne is evidenced base. This means that she feels she will tell you something about somebody who she would have no way of knowing. If she is u able to do this, she will tell you.

I know quite a few people who have seen her, and they all said their was no way she could have known ahead of the reading about the people who "spoke" to her.

In terms of the $10 dollar fee, she does not keep this money, but donates it all to the church.

She will also inform you prior to your session with her, that she can not always contact spirits everytime she gives a reading.

I found this thread interesting to read, but it would be good if some of you checked on the accuracy of your statements.

Occam's Razor

No, the local Medium is scheduled into the Unity Church, which is not the same as the Unitarian Church.

However, neither of these belief systems are considered to be in the mainstream of Christian tradition.

Now, let's apply Occam's Razor to the issue of Mediums, as I did back at post #48.

Either:

A. These psychics are frauds who are in the game for fame and money, or

B. They are genuine Mediums, and Christians are forbidden to consult them.

See post #48 for references.

While it might not be popular with some, I believe this meets your guidelines and IMHO gets to the core of the issue regarding mediums/clairvoyants/soothsayers/Etc.

I don't think gullible is the descriptor I would use.

I think grieving might be the word that needs to be used and also to say that most of us who have been church goers do believe in the spirit and everlasting life.

There should be no blame placed on people missing their loved one in death, nor aspersion cast on them. Only skepticism and disbelief and criticism if a person would take advantage of the universal sadness of death for their profit.

I think THAT happens a lot and I look down on THAT.

I've been to Cassadaga; and I'm skeptical that a whole town is full of genuine psychics and mediums.
I've known Suzanne Giesemann for years, and I can only speak knowledgeably about her.
Suzanne is a retired US Military Commander and her husband is a retired Submarine Captain. I highly doubt she is seeking fame and fortune.
She found she had abilities as a medium after she retired, as a result of her pregnant step-daughter being killed by lightening.
I am convinced that Suzanne is genuine; but in no way am I trying to convince anyone to change their belief system.

Go buy a OUIJI Board and then you can communicate directly with the spirit of your choice with no middleman.
