CONNIE SONNE, Dowser

Looks like there's some news now!
 
At least Ms. Sonne indicated to put her money where her mouth is. How ever the test goes, it takes a lot to actually step up to the plate.

Kudos, Connie.
 
Guts, personal integrity, willingness to demonstrate what she thinks she can do.
 
I'd have to retract a whole lot of attributes in my last post if she doesn't.
 
Hi all, of cause I will turn up. I bought my tickets and hotel for a while ago. And JREF have the copies, otherwise they would`nt put me into the program. Of cause they make sure that I will turn up, other people didn`t show up earlier....but I will... I`m NOT doing this for fun! And Dann, hopefully you have a very huge and long nose, because as I can see, you can`t look longer than your nosetip!!! :D

Connie, the question is still this: If you should fail the test are you prepared to at least consider that you might not have the powers you think you do?

If no, then why are you taking the test at all?

She has already made clear what her explanation for failure will be (here and here). She will conclude that the mysterious powers with whom she is in contact have decided that the world is still not ready for the paranormal to be revealed.
 
Which also puts the superlatives into perspective:You don't need to ascribe virtues such asto CS. A delusion is all that it takes for her to go to TAM7.

I'll take sincere delusion over an attempt at fraud any day. It's useful to have people that genuinely believe in such things to be willing to test themselves. Useful for that person in the long run if they think about what happened, and certainly useful to those that may be on the fence to see actual evidence. I'm NOT going to bad mouth this person for trying.

And technically - technically - she could succeed, right?
 
And if she does, we'll learn something very interesting.

Nobody's asking you to badmouth anybody. And CS is not one of those people who are "willing to test themselves". She goes to TAM7 with the delusion that she'll convince everybody that she has the powers (or spirit guides ... whatever) and thus is entitled to receive 1.000.000 $$.

And technically - technically - she could succeed, right?

No, she couldn't! This is pure fiction, but it is the kind of fiction that goes into the preparations of an MDC test: That even though we all know that CS cannot possibly prove any paranormal powers since no such thing exists, the designers of the test have to pretend that it might exist. But it doesn't. So why do you pretend that you believe in it - "technically"?

And if she does, we'll learn something very interesting.

But she doesn't, so we won't.

How about a bit of respect, and some patience, for someone who's stepped up to the mark that so many others run from?
I'd prefer that she felt welcomed to the event, than intimidated, or that she's being placed in a highly adverserial environment.
