Sylvia Browne and her book

headscratcher4 said:
About this whole rainbow bridge thing, are animals killed by other animals, and the animal killers themselves (i.e. the mouse and the cat) crossing that rainbow bridge together? In other words, is that little wounded/maimed and eaten mouse gonna someday see the critter who maimed and ate it walking down that ol' rainbow bridge? If I were the mouse, I'd be telepathically telling Syl that it is all a gyp.

I don't see why not. From what I understand, religious fundies think that if a serial killer of children becomes "born again" in the electric chair right before they throw the switch, he'll be up in heaven with the kids he killed. So a cat and its former meal together in critter heaven shouldn't be a big deal...

Its great for the lion, gotta wonder what the lamb thinks of it all....:D
 
From the July 1 commentary:

I agree.... But I must let Sylvia have the last word here. This, I couldn't improve upon. On the Larry King show last week, promoting her silly book, she announced that there also are no skunks in heaven.

I assume there are no skunks in heaven because they are stinky. So, God doesn't like the very creatures he created? He made 'em stinky.

Does that mean other stinky critters can't get into heaven? What about tom cats? They reek!

Logic and Sylvia are un-mixy things.

Of course they'll go to heaven, only nasty creatures like insects and apparently skunks don't go to heaven. Although obviously the cats must be neutered on arrival, so it may not be the cats' idea of heaven.

Just wait - I predict that Sylvia will hear from somebody grieving for their pet skunk, and subsequently announce that skunks do go to heaven after all, but they don't stink anymore.:D
 
The bible says there will be no lions in heaven. So Sylvia is wrong! So there.

I was thinking the same thing...skunks are supposed to be fabulous pets once you get 'em de-scented. And that must mean ferrets are out too. And foxes. And civet cats. (No yuppie coffee for God!) And...well, the list goes on and on.
 
There ain't nothin' in Heaven then!

Every creature, human and non-human, stinks if you put your nose in the wrong place and breathe in deeply (or not so deeply) with your mouth closed.

This one is brilliant. This guy needs to start posting here:

Reviewer: Joseph Hatuey "Joseph Hatuey" (Brookfield, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Sylvia Browne, who correctly predicted that AIDS would be in full remission by 1998, that Breast Cancer would be absolutely prevented and cured by 1999, that Bill Bradley would win the Presidency in 2000, and that David Letterman would quit his show that same year (I wonder what he's doing now?), has turned her prodigious psychic gifts to describing the other side for children.

I highly recommend this sensitive and informative book from Sylvia and her son Chris. It's very reassuring for children to know that the scores of smashed raccoons, possums, and squirrels that they encounter on the road to soccer practice every day are intact and happy "at home" as Sylvia calls it. While this is indeed a wonderful book for children, it's filled with such amazingly precise detail about the other side that's it fascinating for adults too. Case in point: I mistakenly believed unicorns were mythological creatures, but Sylvia confirms they exist on the other side. My daughter was thrilled and now can't wait to see them.

My daughter and I also learned that the other side is always heated to "a perfect 78 degrees", and that while there is snow, its "warm and fluffy." In fact, the other side sounds so wonderful that I have increased my intake of red meat and tobacco products just to speed up the process of getting there! Now some of you naysayers and critical types may doubt that Sylvia actually knows that on the other side "we can communicate with animals telepathically", but I say to you if she's such a fraud why do people pay her $750 a pop for a telephone reading, or why would Montel put her on his show? Case closed.
 
My favorite amazon review was by Jimmy . However, I'm not sure if he's seriously joking or seriously in need of mental professionals.
 
From Jimmy .

My dog "Asparagus" (we called him Gus for short), died last year, so i read this book to learn more about him. Sylvia is TOTALLY RIGHT ON. Sometiems my leg tickles and gets a funny feeling, and I know its Gus humping my leg, like he used to do. Just now its his ghost.
Seriously, Lisa, he is joking.

No insects?

Has anybody ever seen a picture of heaven without at least one butterfly flitting around?

This just can't be right.
 
Sounds Like Camelot

A law was made a distant morn ago here,
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here,
In Camelot...

from the musical Camelot, by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe

Another comforting notion about where we go when we die is that, in a sense, we don't really go anywhere. We are a part of something truly incredible, existence, not seperate from it. We, in some form, have always been here since time began, and will remain until it's end - if it ever began or will ever end. We are individuals and yet are one with the universe. I not only find this comforting, but more believable than an afterlife.

Very well said, Beckett, and worth repeating, as was your whole post. Did you believe this as a child, as well?

Once upon a time, I would have known right away if someone was joking like that. But after having been here a year and having had the opportunity to chat with some believers, I can not be sure anymore.

Question about the 72 degrees thing: Wouldn't the penguins and polar bears be uncomfortable?

Polar bears might actually be quite happy, experience of captive breeding seems to show that they like warm & balmy just fine. Penguins on the other hand need their chill (I guess because they never entirely lose that subcutaneous blubber layer, even when near-starved).
Probably the Other Side is replete with disgusting scenes of penguins aspyxiating amongst "warm and fluffy" snowfields, only to be immediately and mercilessly re-incarnated in the same spot...
 
I really hope I get to the other side soon, Im still upset about that dog that kept chewing up my newspapers and messing my lawn every morning for months. Chasing it into the street where it got killed by that garbage truck just left me feeling empty and unsatisfied. I'm hoping to meet up with the little poop-machine on the other side and finish what I started.

From the Amazon review site...this about sums it up for me...:D (I hope they have better enforced leash law than they do around here...).
 
I hope the Easter Bunny is happy over there.

Well, I hope you're happy with yourself, DW.
My 9 year old daughter was looking over my shoulder as I was screening down to your post.
I'm sending my shirt over for cleaning.
