These shows always annoyed me but what really get me are those monster hunter ghost shows.
  1. It’s always in the dark with night vision
  2. Everything is always blurry.
Tickes me off how people watch that stuff.

Hi I know there are others who will have far better insight then myself. I am renewing my Catholic faith and boy am I rusty.

It would be my feeling that since the Bible states not to deal with mediums or anything of that nature my guess is that the Lord would not allow our loved ones to come through others to get to us. When a loved one appears to come through another person I believe it is satan pretending. And even though it has given you a closer belief in Heaven it actually has pulled you further and your not even aware of it. The Devil comes in many disguises and he can pretend to be good just to lead us down that path. Your already partially on that path and I’d advise to get off. If we can’t look up to God, Jesus and all the angels and saints for security in our beliefs then we are in trouble and in jeopardy. There is no reason to turn to these people or believe in them. It is all false. This would be my belief and I am sure someone else can come along and better explain.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it. I’m aware of the Bible prohibiting the use of mediums, however, I personally believe some things have to be taken with a grain of salt. For instance, I’m gay and I don’t believe I’m going to hell for it. That’s another subject matter though.

Regarding mediums, I only follow Theresa and wouldn’t visit or entertain another medium. I’ve never been to a psychic, nor do I think its a good idea to visit one based on my religion.

The thing is, what path are you referring to? The path of evil? So, despite the fact that this is bringing me closer to believing in heaven and especially God, I’d be going to hell because its satan behind it?

I guess this is going back to the scenario with Eve eating the apple, thinking it was okay to eat it and delicious, but in the end, it was a sin with Satan involved. That story sounds so fairytale like Snow white. Hard to believe in this day and age.

I’d welcome any more feedback regarding the LIM.
 
Yes the path I am referring to is the path of Evil. I was down and out and followed that path and it was not a good experience. It was so traumatic and it shook me deeply. Yes I was ignorant and consulted a medium and all that came through of my loved one was horrible negativity and extreme accuracy which made me understand it was not my loved one. They passed on and are not in this place any further. I feel it my job to warn others that this is not a line to be crossed or a subject to be taken lightly. As far as going to hell if you are then so am I. But I know now the error of my ways with this medium and will never allow that junk to enter my life again.

If it takes a medium to bring you closer to Jesus and God there is a problem my friend. I picked up the good old fashioned bible and learned and felt closer then ever. That would be my suggestion grow your faith in church and the bible and the goodness of the world.
 
Thanks for the response.

Theresa has asked God and her spirit guides to only bring in positive information that will help the person. I’m not defending her, but the readings that she does are very beneficial to the person, whether they come from satan or not.

Personally, I’m not looking to be read, nor would I like to be, but I am fascinated
with the whole concept and watching it. I’m bummed out right now, because I was such
in a happy place with my new belief, but after my friends stating its likely satan, I am sad.

I don’t know what to believe now.

Another issue I have is that its very easy for religious individuals to judge LIM right off the bat. I think I’d respect someone’s comments more if they watched plenty of episodes and then came out with a judgement.

😦
 
I can understand your feelings. It made me very sad when the medium brought through what I felt was my sister and gave me almost word for word her suicide note. It is still in police custody so nobody has seen it. It was angry, negative and hateful and so accurate it left me at a point of a mental breakdown. I then realized I was a fool and it was a stupid thing. Yea they may have good things to bring but that was enough to snap me back into the right direction. Aref your looking for someone to validate your interests in this lady? I give you and others my experience to offer the right path. But if you like that and it makes you happy do you really need others to validate this or are you hear looking for the right answer? If someone is able to communicate with God himself they would be all holy. I believe there have only been a handful who have experienced the voice of the Lord here on earth.

p.s. I used to watch many of her episodes and also John Edwards. So yes I have experience with it but no longer will I after my horrible experience. Believe it or not but I tell you this woman communicated with something and it was not my sister.:eek:
 
Thanks to whoever shared the “Cold Read” link.

I really wish I could locate that old episode of “The Infidel Guy” where Reggie Finley shares his experiences as a former “psychic” and reveals so many of the tricks. It’s funny how simple the tricks really are, once you find them out.

The problem with that is this: consider the amount of quacks, fakes, con-artists, self-deluded individuals, etc. that engage in this practice.

Why should anyone give psychics the the benefit of the doubt when the profession has consistently and entirely composed of frauds, fakes, phonies, the mentally ill, etc. and none of them can produce repeatable phenomenon? Where’s the beef?

Theresa’s not a psychic. I don’t believe in psychics, nor do I follow or believe in other mediums. Theresa is the real deal. There’s no cold reading or prior information given.

What I don’t know is if her information is coming from satan.

The fact that the medium disclosed those negative things about your sister is unacceptable. It should have been positive and helped you. How would that be the devil in disguise though? He wouldn’t be disguising anything by disclosing that info. I’m sorry to hear what you went through…

Psychic, medium, yeah, I get the difference.

What makes you say she is “the real deal”? Based on what?

Unless you know her personally you can’t make that claim based on the TV show. Just because the show is called a “reality show” doesn’t mean it has anything to do with reality.
 
I’m not here to constantly debate whether or not her information is “real”. I won’t convince some people here that she is, nor will any of you convince me she isn’t. Let’s not waste time on this matter.

So you don’t know her.
 
There was another topic here on the forum that upset me (nothing to do with this topic) and I discussed it with my husband over dinner. My husband grew up in a large devout Irish Catholic family and has very strong faith. We have good conversations and it amazes me how deep his knowledge is. I told him I did not like the response and how could it be? And he simply said as a Catholic what do you expect? The forum to tell you what you want to hear? It’s their job to give you accurate information to guide you in the faith.

I hope this helps.
 
Hi, I have been reading these posts on Theresa Caputo, and of course the position on mediums in general.

First, mediumship is not to be confused with fortune-telling, witchcraft, necromency, psychic ability, or any other ability. The Bible does not do that.

Each of the five scriptures on “mediums” (Leviticus 19:31, 20:6, 20:27, Deuteronomy 18:10-11, and Isaiah 8:19) is actually, in the King James Version, referring to “a person with a familiar spirit,” which is specifically “a spirit that attends at a call” and NOT to a medium whose contact with spirits is originated by the spirit and not the person.

You can read more on this at www.bibleforpsychics.com/read-an-excerpt which goes into more depth on the Bible’s position on mediumship.
 
I’ve decided not to watch the show any longer. Chances are she’s dealing with the dark side and I’m not willing to risk it. Will we ever get to see our loved ones or was their memory and previous life a thing of the past? Thank you.
 
Parklake,

I believe that we will connect with our loved ones again and that they are not just a distant memory passed. My heart tells me that there is far more to life and that there is no way one could love so deeply another individual as to never be with them again on the other side. Our bodies are merely a vessel for this spirit in this school of life. This is what my heart tells me and it sustains me through grief and sorrow of all my lost loved ones.
 
Parklake,

When I originally posted on this topic my emotions were extremely raw and to be honest I was completely freaked out over the medium thing. Mostly because that medium got information that nobody had or could have known anywhere. It shook me deeply and scared me.

Now that i have had adequate healing time I am no longer afraid of the possibilities that our loved departed ones can or may contact us - that fear of it being a dirty or bad thing is gone. But for me I just don’t feel my loved ones around nor have I personally felt like they are anywhere close by. If there is a possibility of them coming through for us why would they have to go through someone else? I just sometimes sit and think of my loved ones and feel a sense of comfort. I guess in the end we will know all the answers. I have watched a few episodes of LIM and she seems like a decent woman but if the spirits were really speaking to her why does she ask questions like who is the younger male? Wouldn’t the younger male say hey tell my Mom Karen that I am ok? It’s just too wishy washy.

One thing that helps me is thinking that my loved one is always somehow with me. Even though I don’t feel them it get’s me through rough times.
