It seems like whenever I turn on the SciFi channel, there's John Edward talking to the dead. I don't really care if he actually can talk to the dead or not (I assume he can't). I'm more concerned by the fact that his show is boring. But on the start of his Australian tour,
a man has sued him, claiming that Edward's show violates the Trade Practices Act which stipulates that suppliers of goods can't make claims that they can't substantiate. In this case, Edward claims he can talk to the dead, but the guy suing him is pretty sure he can't. It'll be interesting to see how the case is resolved.

Millions of people go to church every
Sunday. What's the difference. It's
a belief in an unseen world. However,
we aware that the Government NSA, CIA
ect all EMPLOY Psychics and pay them
with your tax dollars. They are used
for remote viewing and other paranormal
security programs. Do you think the
government has investigated the validity
of psychic ability. Obviously.
We are naturally sceptical but there is
much in the realm of the unknown that
science has yet to explain but is real.
but i think people who do this are really cool
i'm trying to learn how to do it myself
there has always been some people who claimed a link with the dead. Wherever you go you will find them.From the ancient oracles in antiquity passing to witches in europe, shamans in africa and wiseman for aborigens and islanders, there was ALWAYS somebody who claimed being linked in some way with the dead. But NEVER, EVER was such a disgrace as john edwards.Who claims, if you please, to be able to specifically pinpoint the dead by name, and hold conversation. My question is for the Americans: ARE YOU SO FUCKING STUPID THAN YOU CANT EVEN TELL WHEN SOMEONE IS A CHEAT???? seriously, I am appalled by the sheer stupidity of you people.on one hand you guys are religious fanatics that makes the worst of the muslims look like saints, and on the other hand you are accepting without qualms someone who is flirting with paganism , passing by animism. Because what he is doing is NOT christian.This man is preying on the weak, taking advantages of them and FUCKING MAKING MONEY ON FOOLS THAT FUCKING BELIEVE HIM.So that is the country that is leading us, full of people that possess parochialism that will shame medieval peasants, religioyus zealots that makes torquemada look like a tyro, and who preaches about democracy when their own president got his office by cheating in Florida. fellows who are NOT americans, i am telling you this we are fucked.
People who Sell Coins, ART, Stock are all Opinions and even worse Bennie babies. Can you Substantiate a stuffed doll being worth $300.00 no...
Also people sell Advice as Money Advisors and Psychiatrists. It's all words and if people can't pay for words even if true or false. Then Politicians should be in jail.
8And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
9And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
-John Edward is a total fake, and I agree with Southpark's version that voted him as a douche.
(I'd go one further and call him "Dubya's enema")
-Friggin' asshole, better stay down South where they still believe in fairytales.
bye everyone. love yourselves everyday.
hahahahahha
So all you morons that still believe he's real...think again. The ignorance of Americans baffles me, and I am one. Like a few people said on here. Shamans and people of the like have been around for 1,000s of years. So for you to believe this moron is a the real thing, should probably be committed. Like a few others stated, if he was the real thing, do you really think he'd deal with trivial things like your dog Fido humping grandpa's leg on Halloween? Not what the afterlife is like and why do we die? Other questions that humans everywhere have been stumped with since the beginning of time?
UNDERSTAND ON HOW HE DOES GET VERY PERSONAL INFO PERTAINING TO EVENTS/PET NAMES/JOKES/DATES ETC. THAT ARE VERY MEANINGFUL TO INDIVIUAL PEOPLE. THINGS THAT HE COULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN BUT COMES RIGHT OUT AND SAYS IT. ALSO ON THE FLIP COIN OF THIS IF HE HAD THE REAL POWER TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD HE COULD FIND OUT SO MUCH AND ANSWER SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT MANKIND HAS BEEN ASKING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH? WHERE DO YOU GO? DID YOU ENCOUNTER GOD? IS THERE
A HEAVEN AND HELL? HOW IS IT LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE? BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT THIS. ONE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT JOHN EDWARDS AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WILL DISAGREE WITH ME.BOTTOM LINE IS THAT AGAIN REAL DEAL OR NOT ON HIS SHOW HE MAKES PEOPLE FEEL GOOD RELIEVED SOME OF THIER SUFFERING AND PAIN WHEN THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THIER LOVE ONES AND I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
why do i think there are people who have some kind of ability? my father took me to a psychic and had a chart done. he died, and whilst cleaning out boxes of old crap in my mother's attic, we came across it. it was dated nov 3, 1984- done when i was five. i was 16 when we found it. and it was accurate to a very high degree. not general crap, either- ie, you will go through difficulties with drugs and alcohol, you will leave home early, you will always want children, but will lose at least one and have difficulty having another. more? you will have the ability to do any job you wish but choose occupations that are morally rewarding more than financially rewarding. your career choices will be things that serve others.
at the time we found that chart, i had been in alateen for a year- i did have a drinking problem. i was home from job corps that weekend- i had already moved out of my mothers home. i do want children, and two years later had a miscarriage. two years ago i went through early menopause and can't have kids. i work two jobs that pay little- one as a youth advocate, the other as a personal health aid for the disabled. i have had jobs that paid triple what i make now, but i've always quit them to go back.
so, yes, there are a lot of unexplainable phenomena and abilities in the world- but john edward possesses none of them, and unfortunately crooks like him give a bad name to the honestly gifted people of the world.
He came to one person was explaining how the dead relative spoke an obscure language like Farsi. It took a good five minutes for the person to remember that she and her relative had spoken Farsi as a child. There were many more instances and I was LOOKING for the fishing. I didn't see it. He comes up with very specific examples that I can't see being made up.
Oh and by the way, he actually had a show in a relatively small community so I doubt that there were Edwards plants fishing around without someone figuring that out. It's not like people start talking about where their relative's quirks or secrets while waiting in line at the grocery store.
I'm not convinced but it is enough for reasonable doubt.
Personally I like John Edward he is way more specific than a lot of others.
I cant believe people get so wound up by mediums because they cant prove what they are saying - people have been believing far more ridiculous stories for hundreds of years without a shred of evidence - christianity anyone? now thats an outrage and think how much money churches suck out of people every year and the fear they cause people. I think people should focus their gripes where it is most deserved.
Enter his show, buy tickets all with a fake name... That way he or his team won't be able to research you...
And should he have people that watch you before the show... Just live a different life or something for a while...
If he's the real deal then he would know your using a fake name and would find true info for you... If not then he'll start asking you about people that don't exist

I believe the show probably is edited to make him look better and when he does find someone he does milk it to the point of 20 minutes on one person.
Derrick Achora (dont know how to spell it) was outouted as a fake and personally I think they should be shot lol.
I wonder what would happen in the show if no one in the crowd had not lost any loved one.
And way to state the obvious, retard!
I have not met any of them as of yet.
I trust that when I do,
it will be a positive
experience.

The test was done at a university, at great pains to make it scientific. He couldn't see, couldn't hear the subject. He'd have to guess a lot to get that one right. The dog's name was popsicles.
Popsicle isn't mentioned among the top 100 names for dogs:
http://dogtime.com/top-100-dog-names.html
Only one of the hundred is a food: Honey.
No, naming a dog after a food is not common. The reason Jon Edwards comes up with these small, unusual details is for the skeptics. If I tell you your mother died of cancer, that's common. If I tell you her favorite composer was John Cage, or that she hated chocolate, that's unique. With enough guesses, he could get a lot right, but since he gets at least a third right, and about things that are guessable about 1% of the time, it has to make an honest skeptic wonder.
This isn't about money. It is about whether consciousness survives the body, and whether they can communicate to a living mind. It's an interesting question, and just spouting "nothing but a hoax" unsupported opinion isn't helpful, neither is swearing.
Cut off John Edwards fortune BY NOT ATTENDING HIS SHOWS until he can indisputably proof himself not to be a fake. Whether John Edward is bull shitting or not or how he

Just get it on interlibrary loan and quibble with the experimental design. They seemed to have tried their best.
