Proof of Life After Death!!

Agreed! Lol

I would imagine anyone truly possessing such an extraordinary gift would busy themselves with truly important communications with deceased brilliant great thinkers like scientists, perhaps find lost and abducted children, find the holy grail....I dunno, anything but fridge chat! Eye roll.

A good point and the loss of what would have been a perfect opportunity:

Robin: "Ask my father what nicknames he used for his grandchildren."

JE: "Does one of the names have an ST sound?"

Robin: "Are you asking me or my father?"

Why does no one ever seem to do this in these settings?

xterra, who does not mean this in an insulting way.
 
Robin, I hope you're at least lurking.
Non-believers as you call them, can be fun people.
I'm not one of the fun people, but I have laughed a few times at them.

Here's what I think we're missing:

Data mining.
There are a bunch of companies that do it.
If you dig into it a bit, it's quite stunning what information can be obtained about anyone and everyone.

If you reverse engineer this, and data mine for people that are interested in psychics, you've narrowed the search. We leave a constant trail of collectible data. It would be easy to have a picture of the customer and spot them as they came in.

With a hidden head set, a compatriot could send relevant data on the spot, wirelessly, regarding many people in the crowd. This sort of thing is getting easier and easier.
there's a very cool documentary about data mining companies; I forget the name; saw it on streaming netflix. It is quite stunning what is available.

I suspect what appears to be the occasional very lucky (but inevitable) really hot channeling, is the psychic going easy. If you knew too much, it would draw too much attention and doubt. It's important to be human, I guess.

But I think it's absurd to discount the technology of data-mining, and wireless transmission devices that are tiny.

If I was a psychic, and you were in pain over the loss of your dad, and would hang out with you, and be very kind, and listen to your stories and feelings...and even your religious inclinations and hopes...with absolutely no mockery. I would hold your hand, if you wanted. I would make you tea. I'd help you make a photo album.

I do this sort of thing, as do most of us, I suspect. I don't charge any money, and have nothing to sell. I would spend no time trying to convince you of my super power. What's that got to do with you and your dad? Refrigerator? Valerie? You're aching to make some bond with your father, and you end up making it with the psychic instead.

That seems a shame to me. Come here. I'm a believer in the power of non-believers believing in the belief of believers and non-believers alike. Yet, I'm dizzy.
 
What a silly little tangent. If I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the dead were constantly communicating the word 'Cantaloupe', the response would be "Harharhar, dumb dead people!"?

I mean, really, it's one thing to be skeptical of someone's experience and say that their evidence isn't good enough, and an entirely different one to crap all over their experience and mock what they believe their dead relative was trying to communicate to them.
 
He doesn't need to hack into your credit card to find out information about you. These days all you need is a name. I found out a lot of information about you and pix of your three kids etc etc. It's remarkably easy.

In addition I was able to find out how your father died and your maiden name on sites that charged for you to join. I would imagine it's very easy for John Edwards to have a team of people who research potential guests with the aim of it being an huge event that you've spent quite a bit of money on and he wants you to have a good time. To feel you've walked away with something.

As a public speaker myself who charges people, when I have a bad class it bothers me tremendously.

He's a show man and wants to set up a good audience experience. Even the apostles did this in the Bible when they would speak to crowds. They'd slightly change the sermon to match the type of audience to whom they were speaking.

If your brother didn't realize the Valerie Harper connection until the next day it is just a coincidence. I can't tell you the number of times I've mentioned a celebrity or something like that and then days later they are in the news. Coincidences like this happen all the time.

I read your "slippers" story about your Nana and that also is a weird coincidence but one that you forced. Your nana kept saying don't forget the slippers, but there was no connection to your nana with the slippers until after the fact. You created the connection based on a coincidence.

This is something people do all the time. It's a normal reaction. It doesn't mean John Edwards is psychic or that your Nana visited you in a dream.


Thanks for replying though.
 
Robin, I hope you will trek back through the thread and read my posts. You asked for a skeptic who has seen John Edward do something amazing in person. Right here.
 
Yes you found out a lot of information about me..exactly the information that would NOT impress me if a medium told me because I KNOW that is all easily verifiable information through the Internet. And so I will pose a final challenge to the members of this thread...What did I buy on my credit card today?

Food. Do I win?
 
RemieV, thank you for posting about....among other things.. your experience with John Edward and your own very interesting "coincidences." Perhaps you have some psychic ability of your own that can be nurtured? Just sayin.
 
I'm new to the whole psychic thing, and don't post much over here.
What I'm seeing is people desiring evidence of life after death...for their own peace of mind...and not so much a desire to communicate with a dead relative.

As an agnostic sort of nerd, I can happily bare philosophical discussions on various possibilities of consciousness beyond this lump of flesh. I've started several. Had tomatoes thrown at me. In retrospect, that was sweet of the bastards. It could have been rocks.

But to promote JE is like a brand endorsement sort of thing.
One loses sight of the product.
If what you seek is evidence of life after death, I think there could be a cool rap.
If what you seek is to promote JE, that would be less fun.

nothing.

good for you!
 
It's not about finding out what you bought on your credit card. That's what you seem to have missed. You were saying that he said to you ST and you weren't sure if he was talking to you. So you changed what you said in the beginning. You were in a group of four and he was doing a classic cold read.

I'm sensing an ST ??? You say "Oh is that maybe me?" He says "Are you the one that bought a new refrigerator" and you go nuts and say yes. Then he follows up with a completely unpsychic normal conversation that people have about fridges, "fingerprints" and then you attributed that to his psychic ability as well.

You see. What you don't seem to understand is that even if you had said no, he would have made it work anyway.

Also you have not answered some questions. How long did he work with you and are those the only two things he said. Did he miss with other details at all?
