Reaching out to the other side

It's hard to ignore the irony of labeling a TV program dealing with the paranormal a reality show.

I had purchased tickets as soon as I learned Lisa would be at the state theater. reccomend very highly!!!!

If they died I hear them saying they're in a better place and want you to know they're happy.
If they died suddenly I hear them saying that they didn't feel any pain and want you to know they're happy.
If they commited suicide I hear them saying it wasen't your fault, don't blame yourself. It's better here and they're happy.
Your welcome feel free to send me your money!
This lady as well as ALL other "mediums" (or whatever con artists are calling themselves these days) are QUACKS!!! Pure and simple they have never nor will they ever "talk" to the dead.
Read about Houdini and the way he debunked these liars sometime.

If you go solely for entertainment value, then have a blast. Beyond that, mediums are con artists who prey upon the grieving. That aspect of their business puts them among the lowest of the low.

I've seen the TV show. If nothing else, Lisa Williams is entertaining. I like when she gives histories. I don't care where she got the information. I love hearing history humanized. If she's for real, all the better. If she's not, it really doesn't matter.

If you go, print out the bingo card and play along...

Even lower than Lawyers? I don't know about that. With either one, I know I'm dealing with a dishonest person. The "Psychic / Medium / Whatever they call them these days" can't really do much harm other than take a few bucks.

You know what, I will go that far. There are times when you NEED a lawyer. I can't imagine a time when you would NEED a con artist.

I urge you all to check out the following website if you are at all interested in the paranormal, mariannemichaels.com .
It belongs to a local, Bethlehem, PA, medium who is every bit as good as Lisa Williams. She has helped me connect to my loved ones on the other side on numerous occasions.

I have been to several of her communication circles and she has never disappointed anyone who attended. She has validated her gift and has made believers out of many who were once none believers of life after death.

I'll believe in this hocus pocus BS when I see the headline..."Psychic wins lottery, again!" Save your money, sweetie. This person is nothing more than a very skilled con artist.

that Doris Stokes said she'd come back and show us all, but so far ? as usual, nothing . Mediums are on the same level as spoonbenders like Uri Geller - just tricksters. Magicians do much better tricks without claiming any supernatural powers.

I put them on the same level as Al Gore.
