Is Sylvia Browne a fraud? - Personal Development for Smart People Forums — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:41:47 +0000

[...] For the record I am not here to argue about whether sylvia is real or a fraud. But your proof that she is a fraud is pretty one-sided and not proof at all. It’s easy to discern from your post that you are feeling anger at Sylvia because she is rich, famous, and psychic and you once believed in her and you feel she broke that trust. Now you must find evidence that she is fake to assuage your self esteem. To briefly address each of your points: 1. Psychics are not mind readers. Any more than a doctor is a mind reader. Read my blog entry Psychics are like Doctors for more info on that. 2. I totally agree with you that that is very suspicious. I sometimes think Sylvia is trying so hard to put on a show and come across as very confident that she doesn’t really give the information time to come through. I would have to hear the show to really comment though. 3. Agree with you on this one. 4. Psychics do sometimes misinterpret information they receive. But are you looking at ONLY the predictions she got wrong and failing to look at all the ones she got right? If we are to be open minded and skeptical but not cynical then you have to look at her entire track record and not just pick out the ones she got wrong. It’s like if you watch the news you figure the whole world is in a state of murder, rape, robbery, and war. They never report the good news and likewise where are the statistics on the predictions she got right? 5. You’re assuming that the world will end when Christ comes again. That’s not at all provable nor is it universally believed. 6. Her husband? Yeah, what do you expect from a guy who lost out on millions of dollars when they got divorced. You expect him to sing her praises? Not a credible witness in my opinion but certainly someone with a possible grudge. 7. This is where you reveal how angry you are at Sylvia. I agree that no one should idolize anyone. People idolize movie stars, physicians, politicians, etc. It’s not Sylvia’s fault. she can’t control how people view her. 8. Same as before. I think she needs to stop making predictions about global things. It’s extremely hard to predict something when there are that many consciousnesses involved. But again I would want to see her entire track record. Doctors sometimes make mistakes, even mistakes that kill people, but they are still doctors the next day. The videos… have you looked around for any videos that show her making accurate predictions? Have you gone to her for a reading yourself? If you are wanting to be open minded, you should do some due diligence and test her for yourself. Don’t rely on what you hear or see on tv when you’re not seeing the whole thing. I agree that she has made some very bad predictions. Other than that, I’m not seeing a problem with her. But I have not tested her myself so I cannot say for certain. She did a mini reading for Steve that was accurate and definitely seemed specific to him. But other than that I don’t have enough information on this woman to claim she is a fraud. __________________ Erin Pavlina, Psychic Medium "Remember Where You Came From" Book a Reading | Read Testimonials| Get Info [...]
