I kinda meant that her god spoke back to her with the whole PT Cruiser idea, now thats flibbery jibbery... My god tells me that I will win the lottery...

I have on occasion been disappointed that I am not the kind of psychic who is able to foresee winning lottery numbers.

What kind of psychic are you?

I read Tarot, Runes, and do the occasional bit of Channelling.

Interesting. I always enjoy watching those ghost shows thay have on Discovery, etc. with the psychics who can sense presences, etc. I'm really not sure I believe in any of it, but I find it a fascinating subject. I tried my hand at reading runes in HS and college but found myself more interested in the history and mythology behind them than in actually learning how to use them.

One of the tastier bits of irony for me is that they have John Edwards on Sci Fi.

Well, he strikes me as a hack and a criminal of the worst kind. He preys on peoples emotions, telling them what they want to hear. It's funny that he's wrong so often, but when he gets the occasional "hit" people will believe anything he says. I believe that whether psychic sensitivities are real or not, some people genuinely believe they have them, and I really believe that he knows for a fact that he doesn't. He's just smarter than the average bear and doesn't mind making money selling snake oil.

John Edwards is an extremely well paid cold reader. (in case you don't know what a cold reader is ... I agree with Perth)

cold reader + gullible demographic = $$$

God just told me to go get a coke so I can make it through the afternoon.
 

I got one for you, my mother-in-law is getting bids for a new roof. You’d think this would be easy, but well you’d have to meet her. When we were over there for mother’s day I was idly looking through all the different bids and brochures she had I noticed that one of them had a rather prominent Jebus fish on the cover. I made some remark about it. I have to tread softly because they are Presbyterian and I’m well uh hm not.

I affected my most professional dealing with clients demeanor and pointed it out and said that what bothers me about that type of thing is that I believe that religion should be a personal and not a business matter. If he put a fish in the cover of his brochure, he did it for a reason and I would be willing to bet money that it has to do with what my daddy always calls “churching”.

She called Angie’s List. I don’t know how wide spread Angie’s List is so that may not make sense. It’s a group that tracks customer satisfaction for home repair work.

So, Christ the Adderall has worn off where was I.

Ah yes, Angie’s List informed her that he had several complaints against him, not covering roof leading to rain damage that he refused to fix, damaging gutter systems that he refused to fix, not showing up when he was supposed to. It was a hell of a rap sheet.

If I were a Christian, that kind of thing would piss me off. I mean, what kind of message does that send to people like me.

Re: God just told me to go get a coke so I can make it through the afternoon.
 

That the christfish guy must like having shitty home repair done unto him?

What, you don't think people (good and bad) of other faiths, use their religions to drum up business?;)

Hey, Wolf, if you'll do the Tarot on me, I'll throw the I CHING for you and give you its unblemished reply if you agree to do the same.;)

Lj, how old is the woman to beging with?

This account gave me an idea for another thread. (if y'all don't mind, of course.(if you do, speak up: the sweaky wheel is the one that gets oiled.)

she's 54. been saved for 12 years now.....i wasn;t kidding about the 30 minutes...i know all about her life now. woopee
