Psychic Hotlines

"I see a titanic phone bill....collection agents....a second mortgage..."

I they were really psychic, I think they'd know when and who was calling wouldn't they?

Ridiculous nonsense designed to separate poor, deluded fools from money that could assuredly be better spent on rent or groceries or even a 6-pack or 2. Then again, no one puts a gun to anyone's head and forces them to call in. Miss Cleo is no more a crook, or less of one, than Robert Tilton or Peter Popoff or Oral Roberts's son with the Count Dracula haircut. They're all selling fantasy and escapism, and profiting enormously from it. In a world where people had some economic stability and security, some sense of a genuine future, there would be no need for religious fanatacism or fundamentalism of any stripe, be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or whatever. You also wouldn't have any need for Miss Cleo or John Edward, the guy on TV who charges $300 for people to witness him contacting their dead relatives in the "Great Beyond" (I work with a less-than-bright woman who paid this amount for a ticket to one of his shows).

Strictly for the gullible, the very lonely, and the incredibly stupid...Though I don't do drugs, a nasty part of me would still like to get high as a kite, call the1- 800 number, and ask Miss Cleo if she can contact Chico Marx for me from the spirit world....

It's all set up for suckers, The best fishing for suckers under the sun, yes It does target poor folks, but the rich is falling for it, and do you know why? People are desperate for hope, and they want answers NOW!, Well, our God of the universe does NOT work through Psychics, but HE did promise eternal life through Christ, to all that receive HIM as savior, and trust the Gospel (1 Cor 15:1-4) I understand the pain, and the hurt people go through, I do myself daily, but God requiers FAITH, and the just, the saved shall live by faith, I lost my friends in accidents, I lost my Mother, I go through daily despair, but we all are, and there is hope, and God has proved himself to me over and over, yes, I go through hard times too, but God always got me through, and yes there was some times I wanted to call a Psychic, go to a palm reader, but, I always backed off, because It is nothing more than a quick "so called fix", and lies I might add, and not of God. Besides, you have Agnostics calling... Read more

Leviticus 19:31 - Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. Acts 13:8-10 - Paul rebuked Elymas the sorcerer, saying: "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?" Daniel 1:20 - And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them [Daniel and his friends] ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers in all his realm. James 4:14 - You do not know what will happen tomorrow. Acts 19:18-20 - When God's word prevails in the lives of people today, they renounce their involvement in magic. They remove and destroy all aspects of it in their lives.

It's hogwash.

People believe in these?

"Psychic Hotline, how may I help you?  Oops!"

If people aren't smart enough to hold onto their money, they don't deserve it in the first place. . .

I don't know if this is such a bad idea. It keeps the shallow end of the gene pool entertained and off the streets for a while.

I predict that you'll become really broke, if you fall for this.

Bad idea unless you are Dionne Warwick. It provided her with a source of income for at least 5 years after even Vegas wouldn't have anything to do with her.

Must not be that bad of an idea because they are making millions off of ignorant mindless people.

Miss Cleo told me that if I logged on to RIA, I would meet new and interesting people. She also told me that there's some Irishman who likes to get his T-bones from a chameleon, but I wasn't able to make much sense of that. Hah!

You want a prediction for your life? Here's one for you: you will be swindled by that psychic tomorrow if you call that 800 number.

These hotlines are a great idea for the people who own them. They just help people spend money that would have otherwise been spent on bingo, tele evangelists and Doritos.

One of the better baits if you're fishing for fools.

Hahaha, I bet Miss Cleo didn't see that coming!
