But when someone gives you so much information that is 100% accurate, and information that no one in this world could possibly know, it becomes too convincing. I will follow up as Kyras always seems interested in my experiences too. I think this may be one of our last visits, we had great experiences thus far and heard from all of the relatives we care about. I am curious to see if my sister shows up. The money is not crazy expensive so why not. I don't know how easy it is to find a medium who is legit or 100% accurate as I've only been to one in my life. It just turns out that she has been has been legit. If I had been to a few mediums who were not legit I would have likely stopped and never tried again, so I can see how people can be skeptics. I can't recommend mediums in general as the good ones may be hard to find. I could recommend the one we visited as we've had good experiences to go by. You almost need to find them through friends or relatives who recommend them based on positive experiences. That's how we found our one medium, she was recommended to me by a friend, he was blown away by her and he had other friends who were blown away by her as well, so it was worth a gamble.

Getting validations about your loved ones being around you fits right in with our religion, and it makes perfect sense to me.

Be aware that "Good and Evil" are more than just general terms. There are some very strong prohibitions for using mediums and the occult. Those spirits, however "accurate" (and they can be because of supernatural knowledge and intelligence) coming from mediums, are not from God and can only be demonic. I am not trying to "convert" anyone to anything here, just warning about major potholes in the road up ahead. Ask me how I know.

The whole mess with the shuffling priests around turned many off from the Church. I can't say I believe in the power of prayer. If prayers really worked, I don't think so many things would be in such a mess. Just my opinion, and likely a topic that could go downhill (or over to politics) quickly.
