Looking for Skeptics

The JREF has just announced their keynote speaker at TAM (https://www.amazingmeeting.com/) as well as the evening events. It ends as usual with the live Million Dollar Challenge. It seems that they usually leap and hope that the net will appear. Will Cassidy be their net this year? It's certainly possible, but she'd better get her act together. Tickets to Vegas ain't cheap and the earlier she buys, the cheaper they should be. But she should not buy until she locks down a protocol.

I've emailed and outlined how I can demonstrate these abilities, and await a response. When I hear word back, I can work out a good/fair protocol.

Last week you said that you had already sent the JREF your protocol:
Cassidy said:
February 14th 2015 I received an email informing me that my application was complete, that I was responsible for all costs, and did I have a protocol in mind. I forwarded a suggested test protocol on the 17th February and await a reply.

I've sent a polite reminder but haven't received any reply. I don't mind the waiting, I'm sure the JREF are an extremely busy organisation.

Just wondering if any members have an idea of how long completed applications take before a preliminary test usually takes place?

I've long purchased the equipment required, gathering dust but ready to be delivered to a JREF rep here in the UK for inspection.

I am quite confident.

It's a challenge I'm willing to take from start to finish, and see how it plays out (Under strict observing conditions) I've done enough practice and it's been costly. I've presented the JREF with some media coverage, and had the GP involved with a mini diamond test, in order for him to feel confident enough to write a letter to support my taking this challenge.

The voices that emit my PC, can hold short conversation when working with vibration. I understand this can be considered pareidolia, despite the sense these "short conversations" reveal. Which I understand can be considered a delusion, despite these words correlating to their actions. I actually find it more strange that folk expect me to believe it's just "noise"

Altering the insides of a diamond, by a big increase of black carbon, and possible fractures (by wear) is more straight forward and cannot be considered anything but paranormal (Or a delusion)

Would you mind sharing your suggested test protocol with us?

ETA: Just to be clear, I am asking for the exact text you sent to the JREF.

Why do you avoid questions of this sort? You wrote something down as a suggested protocol for the JREF to consider. It should be easy to repeat the exact same thing here.

How about realizing that, as a normal human being, you're as susceptible to erroneous conclusions as anyone else. How about a reasonable concession to the possibility that you could be wrong about these paranormal perceptions of yours, no matter how slim you personally feel that possibility to be?

And, finally, how about an admission on your part that failing a mutually agreed upon MDC protocol would undermine your paranormal claims, at least to some degree?

Nobody is going to finance this trial because you haven't been able to get any agreement on a protocol in the years since you've been ranting here.

No, you are not. We have been around and around this hamster wheel for a long time. Put up your proposed scenario.

3 PCs one of which must be new? Why?

A diamond ring?

A drum? WTF?

An elastic band? Sweet baby FSM (bless his noodly appendage).

If you have a proposed protocol, wheel it out. What is with this coy nonsense?

This is going to turn out just like the first 164 pages, isn't it? :(

I think Cassidy has the EVP claim from two years ago confused with her diamond-breaking claim. And why would she need a rubber band for either?

:confused:

Pretty much. The MO does not change.

The diamond claim is not new, though at the time it was incidental to the EVP claim, just another nugget to drip feed the thread. Now, it is the central claim and the EVP is incidental. Go figure. The proposed protocol will be the new drip feeder along with the extreme cost of live testing with actual diamonds. So many escape routes. I feel like I am in Colditz.

I've never been sure if it's deliberate obstructiveness or a symptom of disorganized thinking.

The new claim is that a proposed protocol has been submitted to JREF. Can we see it? No. Why? Can't say. What's required for the test? 3 drops of mouse blood and a sharp 2B pencil. Why? Can't say that either.

Is that obstructive or unintentional?
 
I think that everyone here is being very rude. As Cassidy said on the very first post on this thread

Hi, I'm new here, and I'm looking for good mannered :) skeptics.

Now we should be good mannered, and just ask her to post her proposed protocol here so that it may be discussed in a good mannered and polite way. Since Cassidy seems to be such a nice honest person, I am sure that she does not mind posting this basic information of her discussions with JREF, and the way she is going to demonstrate the Spirits powers, so that we can all move forward.

Isn't that so Cassidy?

Norm, the good mannered one.
