I've got mixed feelings about this and I'll explain why.

Today I chatted to a close friend who recently went through something absolutely devastating. She had therapy but that didn't seem to help. Its very unlike her but she decided to go and see a medium a few weeks ago and since then her spirits have lifted. The medium didn't offer her a solution but she did tell my friend that her grandmother was watching over her and guarding her.

From what she has told me, it sounds like this particular medium just gave her something that she desperately needs right now. Maybe her grandmother is with her, maybe she's not but if her belief helps her, then in my opinion, that has to be good don't you think?

There is so much we don't know, don't understand and for that reason I prefer to keep an open mind about such things.

I believe the exact same thing, some may say it's exploitative and many may get addicted to receiving 'messages' from loved ones who have passed... I personally feel there's something in it and would love to think that it was a way to connect, I'm really conflicted on this too.

what the medium did was prey on her and extort money from her. Its disgusting. She preyed on human wishful thinking.

The dead person is dead, does not exist and cannot comeback, ever.

What she needs is time to grieve and come to terms with a very natural thing - what she does not need is some conperson taking money from her and talking 6 kinds of bollocks

utterly vile

Possibly but then what about that big money making industry called the church? I don't see much difference between this and a minister saying comforting words like "never forget the power of prayer" or "Jesus is always with you, you just need to allow him into your heart"

We don't know if Jesus is always with us. Its never been proved or disproved. If we were to offer a million quid to someone who could categorically prove that Jesus was always with us, would someone come forward with tangible evidence?

A minister will not charge you to tell you bollocks
