Mediums offer "Comfort" to bereaved - comments?

B.S said:
Yeah, I understand. I just wanted to point out that they are not innocent of any of this, and I include what they do with what the mediums do.

Another difference though, is that I would assume most religious authorities honestly believe what they're dishing out. Whereas most mediums, on the other hand, have to know that they're just making crap up.
 
You are allowed to say yes and no to the medium but nothing else.
Guess work doesn't account for it either - I've saw mediums give 100 % accurate information on several occasions and it wasn't common details.
ie. they don't just give information about common situations or give very popular names like Mary, Margaret, John, James, Bob, Bill and Liz which would produce a hit in 99.9 % of cases anyway.
eg I've heard mediums give weird names like Henrietta & Euphenia which I can't even spell and they still get it 100 % correct.
 
Jambo372,

How many years of "yes and nos" information do they have on you? Some pretty accurate readings could be given. And this is just from information that you yourself have given them. Certainly you are well known at these spiritual churches. Ever stop to think about the information that a medium could get about you from other people that attend the same church? It might seem very innocent at the time but just a little info that you know you havn't given them but perhaps someone elese has mentioned, could be pretty convining to the sitter.

So they have been accurate on "several occasions"? Don't you realize that means the rest of the time they are not?
 
What's the point? No disrespect intended, but what's the point discussing the validity of Jambo's experience? No argument in the world can match his/her experience. He/she would never admit to being anything but an objective, intelligent and non-conable person. All research points to the fact that the experience is more or less affected by emotional preferences, beliefs and so on. But Jambo's experience is not on tape, all we -- and Jambo -- have is his/hers recollection of the much glorified moments when psychics made his/her life interesting and meaningful by channeling contact with dead people. No argument on earth will rock that boat! So why bother? Jambo won't change opinion.

Best regards,

Coming in to the conversation late but, to answer the original question, I believe Penn & Teller said it quite well. This is an approximate quote from their "Bull****" episode on "Talking to the Dead":

'We don't care about the money! These people are, in a very real sense, motherf***ers. Someone who has lost a loved one will now and forever have their memories of that person screwed up by someone who had no business interfering.'

That isn't verbatim, but it's substantially accurate.
