Do you beleive in this stuff?

Well I have a book of answers well here are the instructions.

1. Hold the closed book in your hand, on your lap or on the table
2. take ten - 15 seconds to think of your question (yes or no answers)
3. place one hand on the front of the book and say the question out loud. The put a finger and stroke the edge of the pages and open it when you think the time is right.

well, my dad doesnt beleive in this stuff and done this and asked is this book a load of crap? and he opended the book and it sayed "never!"

I used the dictionary for this test.

My question was.."Will I eat pancakes tomorrow"

The word I got was "Bisex"

We all know what that means Sumo.

W4eused to play this game at primary. But rather than ask questions we'd get a dictionary and use the same process to define our future.

You may as well just buy the '20 questions' ball game.

It's much more fun.

My own, personal opinion on this: I don't believe in anything like this and I despise the people who profit from it (as they tend to 'prey' on, and profit from, vulnerable and emotionally unstable people)... and I'm far too skeptical, too.

My partner 'buys' (literally, unfortunately) into all of this, though...and some of the things I hear are little too close for comfort; knowing the names of certain family members who have passed on and how they are (or were ) related; passing on 'messages' which have specific relevance (and which aren't vague, either i.e. mentioning specific items or places which relate to the 'person' the message is from, etc.), but I'm still skeptical and I still don't believe any of it.

I hope that, one day, I come across someone who possesses these 'gifts', and that person does it because he or she wants to help people, not because they want to profit from it... like the one who works in an antiques shop in Grandview... I hope they're as stunning as she is, too.

Having said that, I don't think any less of anyone who does believe in 'psychics' (et al), or who has a different opinion - or belief - to mine: each to their own.

my mrs went to see a fortune teller/ psychic type woman, it was pretty accurate. she had it recorded and ive listened to the tape. she described me in great detail and my wife hadnt even told her that she was married, she also said we would win a huge cash prize sometime in the next few years (still waiting for that ) all in all the future looks positive, unlike what her mate was told. she was told her husband would die in exactly the same way her previous husband had died. suicide. she had never met the woman before and could not possibly have known about it. spooky.

anyway, im sceptical. there maybe something in it but i reckon most of these people are con artists.

Im sorry to say i dont believe in this stuff. Last year shortly after i lost someone important to me i went and saw some of these people and they were rubbish. Waste of money. There may be people who can sense things or whatever but i have never met one.
