Sorry, Tsuzuki,

I can’t be of help there.

The possibility of it being a hoax is still there. Only this gal swears it’s not. As we were visiting last night, I kept bringing up ideas of how it could be a hoax.

I suggested that her friend might have filled out a questionnaire ahead of time, and made it look like it was real.

I asked if it was hooked up to a webcam. That way it would have seen what color gum she was chewing.

She insists it wasn’t.

She is a smart young lady, just wasn’t really aware of the world of the occult. Now she is.

I recall a prank website like this from college last year. It might have just been that, and it works like this:
  1. Person visits site, presses a secret key.
  2. Person types in personal info or answer, but the site makes it look like “Please answer the following question.” is being typed.
  3. Person hits secret key again, then types out the question being asked.
  4. Person hits go. The site shows the answer. Site looks smart, but it was really just showing what the person actually typed.
EDIT: And if the person doesn’t know about the secret key, it says it can’t answer you. 🤷

Callin,

Thanks. I will ask her about this later today.

The deal is though,
I think all of us wish that the occult were fake, just tricks, like magic tricks.

Problem is, Satan is real. Satan was given power to roam the earth by God. The battle isn’t over yet, although we know who wins.

Rather than washing her soul (though that is always a good idea) the more appropriate response in this case would be to have your friend wash her computer.

I certainly won’t deny the existence of the occult, but I’ve done a decent amount of research into it, and I’ve never even heard of a case where supernatural influences could be embedded into a piece of software, much less a website, which is even more restricted in its functioning.

The far more likely scenario here is that the website was able to read some information off of your friend’s computer and then spit it back at her.

The worst case scenario is that the website actually installed some type of software onto her computer without her knowledge (could be a tracking cookie, a keylogger, a trojan, or another type of virus). Again, that is not supernatural or occult - it’s just a security hole in her Internet browser.

I would recommend that if she suspects something like that might have occurred, she scan her computer with anti-virus/anti-spyware software. Unlike computer programs with occult foundations, spyware actually does exist, and it is possible for it to be installed simply by visiting a website made by an unscrupulous individual.

I really hope this is the case.

The computer actually generated a question about what she did last summer, that would not have been anywhere on the friend’s computer.

Can you send me a link to the site mentioned in the OP I’d like to see if it is real or a prank site.

After I read White Tree’s scenario, I feel less apprehensive, and I will ask for the website location. She didn’t know what it was, but it would be on her friend’s computer browsing history.

I think it would be very wise to not let your kids go on the internet when you’re not at home, and especially not go on the internet at a friend’s house.
 
The very fact that the word “Tarot” appeared in the background of such a website means it has “hoax” written all over it.

Don’t mistake me. The Tarot itself is not a hoax. A Tarot deck is a deck of numbered cards, each depicting a different arcanum (that is, a “mystery” or a “secret”). The cards, and the symbols they depict, are used to convey various aspects of the occult teachings. Note: I’m speaking very generally here. The Tarot is actually very complex and very deep. If you want me to direct you to some courses or literature on it, I would be happy to make some recommendations.

Now, the Tarot cards are typically used for fortune telling. However, even when they are used properly (which is rare, and could never be done by a computer), the answers they give are esoteric and symbolic.

There’s absolutely no way that a Tarot deck could answer a question as specific and mundane as “What color underwear am I wearing?”

So the very fact that such a website is associating itself with the Tarot tells us that they don’t actually know anything about the Tarot, nor do they have any respect for it.

Rather, they are trying to associate themselves, in a rather stereotypical way, with a very old divination technique in order to lend credence to their hoax.

So even though the Tarot is occult, the website (at least the way you are describing it) has all the trappings of something that is masquerading as the occult, but in reality has no connection to it at all. The best analogy here would be a little girl who dresses up as a witch for Halloween. Even though she looks like a witch, and she may even want you to think that she is a witch, in reality she is not a witch in the slightest.
 
I build websites and i have yet to hear of such a technology that claims to know everything about you.

Do you have no trust in Our Lord?

Who cares whether the website is occult or not? Visiting it will do you no harm (if it does not have malicious codes written and embedded). If you’re going to be paranoid about such websites, then make sure every time you open your trusty IE, Firefox or Safari, splash a bottle of holy water on your screens. If it sizzles, then you know the evil is gone.

The other way is to download my Catholic Screensaver. 👍😃

She wasn’t alone. She was at a friend’s house.
Her friend she was with could have known the information, but not that she would have asked those questions.

Trust me, we really wish it were a hoax.

Her friend was just as scared.

She said that the computer generated questions that were pertaining only to her.

What was Adam and Eve’s sin in the garden?
Wanting to have the knowledge of God?

Didn’t the serpent say,

** "You won’t die! God knows very well that when you eat it you will become like Him - you will know good from evil!**

As soon as they ate from the tree of knowledge, they died spiritually.

God said,*** “you mustn’t eat of it or even touch it.”***

I would be interested in a discussion along this line.

If it’s not a hoax, what is it then?
The information wasn’t (name removed by moderator)ut into a computer anywhere before.

If it’s demonic in origin, HOW?

Actually, God didn’t indicate death would be spiritual and He certainly didn’t say they couldn’t touch the fruit from tree.

Of course, we can also say the same thing about your monitor if you splash holy water on it. 😃

Not a good idea-if its a Microsoft product you monitor will birst into flames
 
Another way that these things work is by the power of suggestion, and by playing the odds. All of us think we’re unique - but - here is my guess about you, dear Reader:

You went to a Catholic Mass this morning. You wore a jacket, but took it off once you got inside, and laid it on or over the pew. You were sitting near someone who is older than yourself by at least five years. One of the people taking up the collection was a parent of one of the altar servers. The priest was wearing something green.

75% of you are going :eek: - jmcrae is psychic!! :eek:

Nope. All I did was take a look at my audience, and consider what the likeliest outcomes would be.

PS: You are wearing white underwear, and your chewing gum is pink. 😛
 
Thanks everybody for answering.

She told me her friend was playing a joke on her.

Joke’s on her…

And me.

:whistle:

Callin,
I read your post to her, she says that’s what it was. You win the million dollar prize! 👍
 
graceandglory,

Do I get the consolation prize? I had the exact same trick (and website) in mind when I asked you my question regarding if she was alone.

Please don’t feel bad. Its a good trick, and you were receiving the info second hand to boot.

Those are the same questions I was asking her last night.
You’re right, I wasn’t there. I wasn’t getting the whole story.
Her friend was playing a trick on her.
:cool:
