There is a thread here on religion which is where you can post your thoughts and views on it. And it gives people the chance to open it and read it or not.

Hi.Tinann. In this thread I have always advocated an open mind. If we are adamant that there is such a thing as Satan then we believe in that. The question always arises. If God exists why does Satan be allowed? We can conjure up all sorts of demons and āSatansā in our minds when we suffer as we all do here. But that suffering does not negate the possibility of an afterlife. In condemning all mediums we are in danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. My considerable experience tells me that good mediums do exist, and that there are also charlatans that prey on others.
There is such a thing as āblind prejudiceā. We dislike or even hate something because we are told it is wrong without questioning it.
Before coming to any firm conclusions we should always question. āIs it trueā? Is it worthy of credenceā?
Yes indeed, there is a hidden battle going on but it 's in our minds. āThe peace that passeth all understandingā does not come about by turning our minds into a battlefield with opposing forces at work.
I wish you some peace in your pain. Blessings. John.

Dear kazbou, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. I hope you can find some comfort on this forum. I know I have. Much love xx
Hi all.
Thank you for commenting on my medium question.
I just miss my husband and really need to know he is now ok after all the suffering he had gone through.
I did not really want to get into a debate about religion and have found this quite distressing to the point where I want to come off this site completely.
I thank all those lovely people who posted about their experiences and will take on board what was said. That has gave me comfort. Those that have less comforting results my thoughts go to you and feel for you.

I put off going to a Medium until I wasnāt desperate to hear what I wanted to hear; I went not expecting anything and I was glad of this because I knew regardless that I wouldnāt be too disappointed. I think going with an open mind and an open heart is what helped me. My advice, if itās worth anything, is go when it feels right for you and do your research. Best of luck and let us know if you do decide to go and how it worked out. I hope youāre holding up ok xxx
Sanny the religious and satanic content is distressing but try not to focus on that. But of all the lovely experiences that those have had. Hope I didnāt contribute to any distress. I was just trying to veer the lady over to another thread where it was more appropriate

This was a good, interesting little thread until religion was brought into it. I have requested that admin remove the religious content to the religious thread mentioned by Jooles. I do hope you choose to stay with the forum Sanny. It has much to offer.
Hi @Tinann, the thread about religion that has been mention is here: A Religious and Spiritual thread. You may find that a helpful place to discuss how your faith has helped you in your grief. Or, of course, you are free to start a new conversation about this yourself.
I understand that the person who started this conversation had asked for opinions about mediums, and you are entitled to give a contrasting one. However, do bear in mind that our community guidelines ask users to be respectful of each otherās religious and spiritual beliefs. Where people have differing beliefs, this can mean stepping back from a conversation and sharing your views on a more relevant one, so that everyone has somewhere to express themselves fairly.

Sanny , I am very sorry for your loss but I too am very interested in seeing a medium in fact I see one next Friday, I am very concerned with how my fiancĆ© passed and if he is ok and I am tortured with the fact I wasnāt there and he died alone in the street, I need to know it was too quick for him to be scared. I am going in with an open mind and heart but I am removing my engagement ring and his that I wear now on a chain, he will not be mentioned by me unless they do first and I have been talking to him all week telling him if they say certain things that were a private joke or words between only us then I will know itās him. I watch mediums and always wanted to see one but never really had any reason now it a physical need, he is gone almost 6mths so Iām hoping he comes through, I hope you stay with us and your decision brings you much peace. Take care xxx

Tina just gave her opinion in a post which asked for opinions. She didnāt know it would offend people. If anyone is to blame for the debate moving towards religion, it is me. After Angie posted about her Christian friend saying mediums should be avoided, I googled and found out that the Catholic Church and Evangelicals are strongly against mediums, but didnāt find answers for other denominations. So I asked about other denominations, as most Christians here are likely to be Anglican, and not everyone knows about all the tenets of their religion, and so thought it might be important for people to know where each Church stands on this issue. Of course, this isnāt what @Sannyās post was about, so I am really sorry for not starting a new post for this, and for any distress caused.
Hi again , my son passed in the street walking his dog , a year ago next week . I too was beside myself he was on his own . As I said in a previous post , I saw a medium , who gave me messages from him , and it couldnāt have been anyone else because of what was said , which gave me some peace . It still feels like it was yesterday , I still feel like he is here . Iām seeing my medium next week . There are always some messages that bring me comfort . I too donāt mention him . She sees so many people she forgets who I am - but every time without fail , he comes through first . His humour , as in life , is still apparent . Bad days , as we know , are many . I look at my notes I make of the conversations through the medium and it certainly takes my desperation away . I feel so sorry that some mediums are not as good as others . I get so much comfort from mine . She even tells me signs that are from him ! You have to go with what works for you. If it gives you comfort , then itās worth doing . I hope everyone finds peace in their own ways . X

Hi Abdullah
I wasnt making reference to Phil Quins charges as I donāt know many clients he can fit in during the day or his expenses for a rented office , an admin officer, or his agent.
But his FREE videos covering all aspects of the spirit world are intriguing. Having studied spirit for over 50yrs I believe Phil Quins videos give us the truth.
Love and Light

Hi HJP, Iām am so sorry for your sons loss and wow itās scary how very similar our losses are and I need to have this reading and really hope they can tell me heās ok and didnāt suffer and doesnāt blame me I wasnāt there, thatās my torture every day but Iām looking forward to next week xx
Dear @Geoff999, thatās nice of you to post that video, I am sure many people will find it beneficial. I havenāt studied spirits or things like that, so I am not going to sit here telling people it is wrong because I donāt have the knowledge, but, yeah, I do have a serious problem with the money many of these people are making. Being a medium has very low overhead costs, yet theyāre earning more per hour than a GP whoās studied and trained for 12 years.
What about the unemployed single mother with four young kids whose husband died? She canāt afford 45 pounds per hour, or in Phil Quinnās case, 175 dollars for 30 minutes (geez, thatās more than a brain surgeon), does she not deserve to hear from her dead husband? If I could talk to dead people, I wouldnāt sit there asking to see 45 pounds before they can see their deceased through me, Iād be like, āhey, donāt worry, this is [what my mortgage is], this is [what I have earned], this is [what I need to earn], but you pay me whatever you can, I donāt care about the money, I just hate to see you suffering and want you to be able to hear from your [husband/wife/mum/dad/child etc], letās do this!ā ā¦ why would anyone who genuinely have this gift not want it to be available to everyone? Has a medium ever advertised that they offer discounts to those who cannot afford it? Has a medium ever said they will do a reading for free for the homeless? How can someone with such a gift be motivated not by helping people but by $$$$$$$ ?

Actually my medium spent lockdown Sunday evenings giving free 15 minute readings on Zoom . Lots of my friends queued to speak to her . One friend waited over an hour ahd didnāt get to speak to her but my medium contacted her and did an extra hour earlier than advertised the next weekend so she didnāt have to wait . We canāt generalise as there are some really good people out there .
My medium charged Ā£20 per hour. I agree @Abdullah if you genuinely have that gift why an earth would you charge such extortionate amounts. Thatās just cruel.
