Christine Hamlett

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

Here we have another 'International' Medium, remember folks, you only have to leave the Country to be 'International'.

Christine was brought to our attention by forum member 'Shmumph' after Christine posted on the LivingTV forum 'touting' for a job on Most Haunted:

"hello my name is christine hamlett i am a international clairvoyant medium and spiritual artist i have a vast amount of experience, i have appeared on this morning itv uk, bbc television and numerous radio shows.

yours hporfully

christine."

As a member of the LivingTV site stated:

"I see you didn't bring your proof reader with you tonight?"

I couldn't agree more....

So, it was time to take a look at her website and see what she was offering. www.christinehamlett.com

Now, there is a fair amount of information to work through, but I shall start with my favourite, 'Spirit Guides'. Christine claims to be assisted by two 'Spirit Guides', an Oriental woman called Loni, and....

"AN iNDIAN GUIDE CALLED JOE TWO TREES LAST OF THE ALONQUIN TRIBE HE PLAYS A BIG PART IN THE PSYCHIC SKETCHES AND WAS VERY CREATIVE HIMSELF WHEN ON THE EARTHPLANE........."

I have a little problem with 'Joe', nothing personal Joe, but I have my doubts about a guides abilities to assist when they cant even get their own background right. You see, 'Joe Two Trees' was a 'real' person, or so we are told by Theodore L. Kazimiroff, the author of "The last Algonquin".

The story is about Kazimiroff's Father who, aged twelve, met Joe and formed a friendship with him. Joe claimed to be the last of the local Algonquin Tribe. Notice the subtle difference? The 'local' Algonquin tribe, not THE Algonquin tribe. Joe was actually a member of the Weckquaesgek band of the Algonquin people, in the Turtle Clan. I managed to find a cached page from the now closed website of The Algonquin Nation:

The Algonquins are a nation of families. Band structure was based on the ties of the extended family. Each of these extended families, and each Band, had clearly defined territories for hunting and trapping. Several extended families made up a "Band".

There are today estimated to be around 8,000 Algonquin living in Canada.

Kazimiroff' titled the book "The last Algonquin" as Joe Two Trees, at that time, believed he was the last Indian alive having been orphaned, he wanted to tell his story so that the spirit of his people would not die with him. Strange how he has told Christine the title of a book as his background rather than his true origin don't you think?

Why, 'in spirit' would Joe claim to be the last of a tribe of people of whom there are 8000 left? He was in all probability, the last of the Weckquaesgek band, why would he claim to be otherwise? A very strange way to 'keep the spirit of his people alive'. I wonder if Christine owns any books by Kazimiroff?

In my opinion, if you are going to abuse the heritage of American Indians to add some 'credibility' to your 'Spiritual side' the very least you can do is be polite and do some research on your chosen character first.

Christine also claims to be famous for 'working' on the Moors murders. To be more precise, the case of Keith Bennett. What has she done I hear you ask? Well, as it happens, nothing. Keith Bennett's body has never been found. She claims that Keith had communicated with her during a seance and...

He told me that he would leave something yellow where his body could be found ..he told jackie about a red balloon...

(Jackie is her sister-in-law)

Now Christine makes no mention of Keiths Mother, Winnie, until,

"the day before our trip to the moors we were contacted by a manchester reporter who asked if he could come to the moors with us he told us he knew Keiths mum Winnie.....W said he could come we also had with us a northwich reporter from the northwich chronicle called Anthony Harvison"

So let me get this right, she must have contacted either the dead boys Mother, or the press, BEFORE even going onto to Moors? Two reporters? Perhaps it's just me but maybe a bit of evidence would have been good before contacting his Mother or the papers? For 40 years this poor woman has been left wondering about the location of her son's body, and she is told 'I know where he is, he told me'?

"We walked towards the direction of the hill on the top of a mound lying on the floor was a yellow ribbon just as Keith had told us he would leave something yellow and there it was...........The feeling was incredible the reporters could not believe it attached to the yellow ribbon was a burst red balloon"

Lets step back a minute:

"He told me that he would leave something yellow where his body could be found he told jackie about a red balloon..."

That will undoubtedly be where his body is then? Well, actually no. As Christine herself states on her website:

"I have read a few times on different message boards etc that we were mistaken and that the area....were we believe Keith's body lies, has been checked and there is nothing there ....This is a lie.....

Only the area where the yellow ribbon was found has been checked ... Keith is in this area no one ever said X marks the spot."

Only the area where the ribbon was found? Didn't Keith tell Christine "he would leave something yellow where his body could be found". Is that not "X marks the spot"?

Apparently not so, Keith is in "this area". That 'area' being 'the Moors' by any chance? So, a victim of the Moors Murderers is buried on the Moors. Absolutely bloody genius. Truly. Still, it made for a good couple of newspaper reports about 'working on the Moors Murderers Case' didn't it?
Lets not forget, even though his body was never found, Christine still feels the need to to publicise the fact that she basically wasted everybodies time as though it was some sort of achievement, and is in the process of writing 'her' opinion about the Moors Murders.

Christine has also broached the McCann case, with various drawings and 'dreams'. The drawings are accompanied by such text as:

Older man
I feel this man works with or has a conection to computers in a work place
Rogers/roger connects

Computers? In a work place? No way! That must narrow things down a bit.....

Thankfully she makes no mention of contacting the Police with her information. If only the same could be said about the murder of Julia Webb in 1998.

I SAW THE MAN WHO DID THIS TERRIBLE CRIME IN A DREAM AND SKETCHED HIM I ALSO GAVE THE POLICE ANY INFORMATION I HAD BEEN GIVEN CLAIRVOYANTLY..

I was running it was dark I was returning home from a friends house . as I ran towards home a man stepped out of the darkness he was wearing a black leather coat and had with him a black and white dog like a boarder collie..He grabbed my arms I looked into his face his nose was pointed and he had a cruel grin on his face ....Straight away the words came into my mind Julia Webb.This was the man who had murdered her....... I woke up in a sweat

But, guess what....

The police were asked about my information and said I had been helpful....Unfortunatly this murder still is unsolved

I don't believe it, you mean to tell me the Police failed to make a conviction based on a dream and a sketch? Outrageous! What the hell do we pay our taxes for?

A reporter from a local paper rang me about my dream I dont know how she found out about it.

Oh I wonder, I really do......Perhaps she's a Psychic?

I have asked the police if I could touch something belonging to Mrs Webb so I could do psychometrics....but this has been refused I truly wish the police would try to use people such as myself to help with this kind of cold case

People like yourself? You mean Psychics with an outstanding record of providing substantial evidence and solving murder cases? People who have successfully located missing bodies from 40 year old crimes? What's the count again? Oh, that's right, none... I forgot......

I don't know, those Police eh? All that silly attitude about requiring evidence for a conviction... just think of the overtime they could rack up chases pointless 'psychic leads'. It's not like they have anything better to do is it?

"Psychometrics"?

"Well Guv, you see, it's like this. This Psychic popped in the Nick, wanted a butchers at some of the evidence we'd seized. I said she could hold it, I mean, whats the harm eh Guv? Anyway, no, don't look at me like that, I know it's probably contaminated it now but she said she was getting vibrations right? Yeah, I know Boss, I couldn't see the handbag wobbling or nothing, but, she said the bloke we're looking for is.. erm... a bloke. So can I have a few hours overtime to look into it? Guv? You do know I could report you to HR for punching me in the mouth don't you?....."

Christine and her Sister-in-Law are also involved with a TV show called 'Rescue Mediums' which is shown on 'Discovery Health and Home' on 'WeTV', a woman's channel in the States and 'W Network' in Canada alongside such programs as "Take this house and sell it":

Margie saves the day by taking this house overrun by ferrets and spinning it into a more family friendly roost

Dammit I wish I could come up with lines like that....

Although I can't actually find any footage of this particular program, it appears by the write up that it's a cross between Derek Acorahs Ghost Towns and Most Haunted. Two 'Mediums' visit 'haunted' places and 'release souls'. Sounds like a blast.....

Right, I'm going to see if I can raise the Spirit of Joe Two Trees and see if I can find out if he recalls who he was yet.....

Meercat

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

I recently emailed Christine with regards to her website and her claims of having 'Joe Two Trees' as her 'Spirit Guide'.

You will recall that she said that Joe was 'Last of the Alonquin', which is in fact the title of a book by Theodore L. Kazimiroff, (well, the actual title is 'The Last Algonquin') not his true background, Joe Two trees was a member of the Weckquaesgek band of the Algonquin people, in the Turtle Clan, NOT 'the last Alonquin'.


I received the following email back:

"Well what a lot of anger"

I wouldn't say 'anger', more a 'sick to the back teeth of Psychics claiming to have Native Americans for Spirit Guides'

"firstly I do not use the name of joe two trees to gain any money whatsoever I was told by a medium that this was my Indian guide"

Your website Christine, used to state:

"JOE HELPS CHRISTINE WITH HEALING HE PLAYS A BIG PART IN THE PSYCHIC SKETCHES"

Two services which you offered on your website. If you were not using his name to 'make yourself more spiritually credible', why use it?
You were "told by a Medium" that he was your guide? Hang on, YOU'RE a Medium, you mean you don't know for sure? I find that rather curious to say the least....

Her email continued:

"I did not know anything about him all I got was the name two trees"

But your website stated:

"CALLED JOE TWO TREES LAST OF THE ALONQUIN TRIBE"

So... you read the book then?.......

"you accuse me of using people when you are treating me this way HOW DARE YOU !!!!!"

I'm not sure I understand the connection between 'you' and 'me'. You have been using the name of a dead person to sell your readings, how have I used you exactly? I write for free...... Lots of exclamation marks there, although I much prefer the 'How very dare you', it doesn't require any.

"i DO MUCH WORK WITHOUT ANYPAYMENT WHATSOEVER !!!!! WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME ? judge ye not that ye not be judged ......"

I see.... So because you do 'unpaid' work, that absolves you from any paid work you do? I don't understand the logic behind that one. By the way, I think you'll find you have one too many 'Ye' knocking around. 'Judge ye not' would imply I was judging myself, I'm not. Next time, try "Judge not, that ye not be judged", that works better. Just a thought....

"And how the hell do you know he could not be my guide the first nations people are very spiritual why would he not offer his help from the spiritworld ?"

I found the give-away was the fact that 'Joe' described himself to you as the title of a book written about his life. Why would he not offer his help? I have no idea, but I prefer the question "Why the hell would he?"

"I dont want to hurt anyone I will remove this information from my site"

Good, thank you. Although, and I realise this is going to sound a bit 'damned if you do, damned if you don't', but.... does this mean he is no longer your guide? Or he's still your guide, you just don't talk about it? It doesn't really show a lot of conviction does it? Surely if you are in contact with him 'from the other side', you could provide proof (other than what was written in Kazimiroff's book) to the Algonquin people? Proof that you are in touch with one of their departed? If you could, how could that hurt them?

"But I suggest you take a look at Feathers Academy where you will find the medium jackie dennison koshnick claiming to have Red Cloud as her Indian guide"

Well there's nothing like dropping your ex Sister-in-Law in it is there? Yes, I notice that Jackie claims to have "Red Cloud" as her 'guide':

"from the Takelma Tribe, part of the Rogue River Indians"

I find this no less offensive than using 'Joe Two Trees', Although I can find no reference to a 'Red Cloud' being from the Takelma Tribe. Jackie seems to have taken the wise decision to make a name up, rather than use a real persons. You see, when you use a real person, their history is check-able, and when that history is different to 'your' story, it tends to let the cat out of the bag.....

On a side note, I notice Jackie also uses a guide from 1856 called 'Jeremkya' who appears to be unique in the fact that he was the only person in the History of the World ever to be called 'Jeremkya'.......

Anyway...back to the email....

"or maybe you could go on every mediums site and dispute their Indian guide instead of picking on someone who really does give a s*it about people and does much work helping people without any kind of payment ...."

Am I supposed to be impressed with this 'work without payment' thing as you appear to have mentioned it again. There are hundreds of thousands of people around the World who dedicate their lives to causes 'without payment'. Admittedly though, the vast majority don't counter that good work by charging to 'speak to dead people'.

"DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR OPINION NOR DO I WANT IT ...."

I was just in the process of not contacting her again when another email arrived....

"Tell you what ....you take me to court and prove that i dont have joe two trees as a guide and that i am a bad psychic ....then maybe we can sort this out..
christine"

Christine seems to be unaware of the rules of evidence. You cannot prove a negative. Christine also seems to be unaware that with the new Legislation in April, I don't have to prove anything as it's not myself making the fantastic claims, SHE does.

As you will have gathered, Christine has changed her website and removed any reference to Joe Two Trees, Loni (her 'Oriental Guide'), personal readings, psychic sketches and workshops. Instead, she appears to be happy to be on BadPsychics.

"WELL WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW ....I AM ON THE BADPSYCHICS SITE UP THERE WITH ALL THE REST OF THEM..THE FAMOUS.. COLIN FRY/ DEREK ACORAH/ DAVID WELLS/ JOHN EDWARDS/ LISA WILLIAMS /DORIS STOKES/ JAMES VAN PRAGH/ DORIS COLLINS/ TONY STOCKWELL / I AM UP THERE WITH THE BEST ..RECOGNITION AT LAST !!!!.......FAME AT LAST !!!!! THANKS FOR PUTTING ME ON THIS SITE I AM UP THERE WITH THE BEST NOW ITS PUBLICITY I COULD NOT BUY AND YOU MEERCAT GAVE IT ME FOR FREE THANKS..IF I CAN RETURN THE FAVOUR DO LET ME KNOW"

It never ceases to amaze me when these 'Psychics' seem to think that being on BP is a good thing..... "up there with the best"..Oh dear... Free publicity? Well I suppose that's a good thing if you think people reading about how you took the title of a book and pretended it was your 'Spirit Guide' is 'good'. "Return the favour"? Don't you think an apology to the Algonquin People would be more fitting than offering to 'do me favours'?

"QUESTION ? WHY ARE ALL SKEPTICS SO AGGRESIVE ??"

I can't answer for 'all' sceptics. I'm aggressive because that's just the way I am, but I'm honest about it. I'd rather be like that than profess 'Love and Light' and be hypocritical.

Christine has changed her site again, whilst I was writing this. She has removed my favourite bit now:

"I HAVE RECIEVED A EMAIL FROM A DAVID ANDERSON OR AS HE LIKES TO CALL HIMSELF MEERCAT ..THE MIND BOGGLES AS TO WHY"

Its a shame, as I wanted to say "It was a name my Spirit Guide gave to me......."

"HE IS VERY RUDE IN HIS EMAIL SUGGESTING THAT ANY MEDIUM WHO HAS A SPIRIT GUIDE THAT CAN BE PROVED WAS ONCE A REAL PERSON IS A FRAUD !!!"

Do I have to go over this again? I said nothing of the sort. You have used a book title, a book written about a person which incorrectly states Joe Two Trees was "The last Algonquin", that was a descriptive title of a book, not fact. But you used this 'fact' about your 'guide', which tells me you have no information about him other than what you've read, NOT because you are 'communicating' with him.

"WELL I SUGGEST WE ALL JUST PACK IT IN THEN..AS EVERY SPIRIT GUIDE OR SPIRIT BEING WAS ONCE A REAL PERSON AND ALIVE .... "

Every Guide? Is this a good point to mention a certain 'Sam'? The 2000 year old Ethiopian who should be fluent in the ancient Semitic language of Ethiopia, Ge'ez, but apparently can only manage 'scouse'?....

"HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT MY GUIDE CAN BE PROVED TO HAVE ONCE BEEN A REAL PERSON ( WOW) TELL ME SOMETHING I DONT KNOW"

I thought I already had? Joe Two Trees was NOT the last of the Alonquin Tribe, don't you think that's a little odd, I mean, me knowing that, and YOU being the one talking to him?

HE HAS THREATENED ME WITH THE NEW GOVERMENT ACT COMING IN APRIL.. THERE IS A WITCH HUNT OUT THERE IF YOU ARE A MEDIUM OR HOLISTIC PRACTISIONER I SUGGEST YOU BE VERY CAREFUL AS THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE LIKE MR ANDERSON WHO ARE OUT TO GET YOU..

She removed this bit as well:

WATCH OUT THERE,S A MEERCAT ABOUT!!!!!!

Shame.... anyway...

I CAN SMELL THE FIRES NOW AND HEAR THE SCREAMS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE BURNT AS WITCHES AT THE STAKE....

Now, it's been a while since I talked to Trading Standards, but when I called my local office and asked if they are planning on burning people at the stake in April, they hung up. Read into that as you will... I did check the new Legislation again though and all I can find is:

"will be enforced by both civil (injunctive) action and criminal sanctions"

No mention of 'stakes' or 'burning' that I could see. Panic over.

Yes, you're quite correct, there ARE a lot of people out there like myself, people who are tired of others preying on the vulnerable and gullible to make money. Tired of people making money under the guise of 'helping people'. Tired of people abusing the names of the dead for their own gain. Tired of a new 'woo method' appearing every other week, "Using the spiritual power of carpet fluff to cleanse your Chakras", "Vortex Healing" or "Anti-Vortex Healing" for those who are Vortex Intolerant, and "Double Choc-Chip Unicorn Communication" for those who wish to talk to the dead about dieting. I'm tired of it. Very.

An email I received from Christine stated:

"My partner in rescue mediums has a indian guide called red cloud YES THE red cloud you can check him up he is quite famous ..She has quite alot of information about him on her site Feathers Academy he is a real person you can check him up.."

THE Red Cloud? Even though she asked me not to contact her again, I had to reply:

"As a matter of interest, the 'famous' Red Cloud was in fact Sioux, the Oglala Lakota and no connection to Takelma Tribe. I can find no reference to anyone in the Takelma being called Red Cloud."

Her reply?:

Maybe you should tell jackie that not me .He is her 1st nations guide not mine and she has quite alot of information about him on her site and connects the famous red cloud as one and the same man no matter what tribe ....she even has pictures of the famous red cloud on her site I would be interested to see what she would have to say to you ...
you should take a look at Feathers academy spirit guides there is another medium you can attack ..But be careful she knows alot about red cloud and you may end up wrong.....
sarcasm suits you keep it up

Sarcasm is indeed the lowest form of wit, but wit nonetheless...

A further email furnished me with several screens shots of the Feathers Academy website with the "quite a lot of information on him" on it, and a final comment from Christine:

here you are take her on ..if you dare ,..

Okay then.


Firstly I had a proper look at The Feather Academy website www.feathersmediums.co.uk to have a butchers at this "lots of information" that 'Medium' Jackie Dennison Koshnick has about her 'guide'.

Here it is:

"Red Cloud: Jackie also works with a Native American Indian, Red Cloud, from the Takelma Tribe, part of the Rogue River Indians. Red Cloud introduced himself in the early part of 2005 and spoke of wonderful work that Jackie would be involved with across the water."

Yep, that's certainly a wealth of information. As I have already stated, I can find no reference to a 'Red Cloud' being in the Takelma Tribe, so I'm guessing this was just a little known individual, if he existed at all.

But hang on, didn't Christine say he was THE Red Cloud he is "quite famous" and "a real person I can check up on". I had better take a look at the picture that Jackie has of him. Well, its a drawing actually:



Which appears to be a reproduction of this photo:



See?



So at least we know that this 'Guide' was a real person as Jackie states on her site that this is a drawing of him.. But who is it? Well, the photo is from a poster of THE Red Cloud, you know, the famous one:



Okay, so we have established that Jackie Dennison Koshnick has THE Red Cloud, Makhpiya Luta (1822-1909) as her 'Spirit Guide'. What does Jackie say about him again?

"from the Takelma Tribe, part of the Rogue River Indians"

The Takelma Tribe were from Oregon, now, what the Hell would a Sioux War Leader like Red Cloud be doing in Oregan?

Yes, Red Cloud was Oglala Lakota, born in Nabraska, the Lakota Territory is predominantly Dakota. Red Cloud was NEVER part of the Takelma Tribe, and judging by the distance between Dakota and Oregon, there's a good chance he never even 'bumped into them' during his life either.

Once again, a Mediums claims are quite easily debunked with just a little research. Now, it makes you wonder as to the 'abilities' of these Mediums if they can't even get the background of their own 'guides' correct. If they can't do that, what chance have they of giving a sitter a reading about their relatives?

There you go Christine, it seems Jackie's 'guide' is as genuine as yours. Although I have to question your reasons for wanting me to 'take her on'.

Meercat

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

It appears that Christine 'trying my best to make a name for myself by using the Moors Murders' Hamlett (you know the one, she's the woman who keeps telling people she's 'Psychic') is a little miffed about appearing on BadPsychics.

It seems that she has attempted to 'fight back' against myself and Jon on her website. A battle of wits? Maybe so, but she appears to have turned up unarmed.....

Christine, a small word in your ear, if you plan on producing another 'get your own back', get someone else to write it.


www.christinehamlett.com

Lets see how her 'retort' looks shall we? All sitting comfortably?
(I may have to paraphrase to remove some of the 'waffle')

"AS MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE SEEN I AM ON THIS SITE I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OUT AS I WAS TOLD NOT TO.. SO I AM PUTTING MY OWN COMMENTS ABOUT ALL THIS HERE ON MY OWN SITE....."

Notice it's all in upper case, as is the rest of the piece. It's a well known Law of Woo that if it's in upper case, it's true.

"I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OUT AS I WAS TOLD NOT TO.. "

By?.... Jesus? 'Two Trees'? Dwonk the Pixie?

"JON DONNIS OWNER OF THE SITE ....THERE IS PLENTY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GUY ON THE NET ..."

Yes there is, mostly put up by people like yourself who have been exposed on BadPsychics, if not by 'Psychics' then the supporters of 'Psychics'. You really know you've hit a nerve when people develop websites dedicated to an individual trying to discredit the person rather than what they are doing.
You may not have heard of it Christine but its called 'argumentum ad hominem', look it up on Wikipedia. I'll tell you what, I'll save you the time:

"consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject."

Ring any bells Christine?....

"CLAIMS THAT HE IS SIMPLY IN THE BUSINESS OF SLAGGING OF(sic) MEDIUMS FOR THE MONEY....AND THAT HE POCKETS THE MONEY DONATED TO HIS SITE TO USE FOR BEER"

Yep, we're all 'in it for the money'. I'm currently renovating my third yacht. It would be my fourth but the 23 illegal immigrants I have working for me are not pulling their weight. I shall beat them later with my diamond encrusted whip that I had custom made from the profits of exposing charlatans.

Are you open for a little advice Christine? You are? Good...
Stick with pretending to talk to the dead and don't go into investigative journalism. My point?...

"HE POCKETS THE MONEY DONATED TO HIS SITE TO USE FOR BEER"

You see, the giveaway is the fact that it's called "The BP Beer Fund". It would come as no surprise to Watchdog or Donal MacIntyre that the money in a 'beer fund' is spent on....wait for it.....beer. Ta Daaaa!!

"HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN MAY CAST THE FIRST STONE....."

Oh please keep your Religious quotes to yourself, if you want to start playing the Religion game, how about:

Leviticus 19:31 'Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.

I was going to quote Leviticus 20:27 but personally I've never agreed with stoning, even for Mediums....

"HERE IS A VERY CHILDISH EMAIL FROM JON DONNIS AND I AM AFRAID I SANK DOWN TO HIS LEVEL IN MY REPLY....

Donnis email...

IT IS INTERESTING HOW YOU USE SARCASM TO DEFEND YOURSELF UNFORTUNATLY IT JUST EXPOSES FUTHER INSECURITIES YOU HAVE
I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY YOU CREATED THE DELUSION OF MAGICAL POWERS MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL
WHEN IN REALITY YOU ARE JUST A NORMAL MIDDLE AGED WOMAN."

I see nothing 'childish' about that, it appears very straight forward to me.

"my reply....

IT IS INTERESTING HOW YOU USE NASTINESS TO DEFEND YOURSELF..
UNFORTUNATLY IS JUST EXPOSES YOUR INSECURITIES THAT YOU HAVE
I SUPPOSE WHEN YOU GOT THE CALLING TO DESTROY THE THINGS YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT MADE YOU FEEL SPECIAL
WHEN IN REALITY YOU ARE JUST A SAD LITTLE MAN..."

Sometimes people should not be let near a keyboard. It's hardly literary genius to change a couple of words in a paragraph is it? The main point being, that Donnis, myself, and others who think that charging money to pretend to talk to the dead is disgusting, have nothing to defend. Nothing. We are not making the ridiculous claims that have to be defended, the 'Psychics' are.

"NOTE HOW NONE OF THIS HAS APPEARED ON THE BADPSYCJHICS(sic) WEBSITE ......."

Unfortunately I have not been able to log into 'Badpsycjhics' but you can rest assured it will now appear on BadPsychics. Obviously had we thought it worthy of more than a cursory glance, we would have put it on sooner, but we aim to please.

"JON DONNIS OR WHATEVER HE CALLS HIMSELF ALSO HAD THE NERVE TP(sic) PULL ME UP ON MY GRAMMAR ...."

'tp'? It's not just your grammar obviously...

"YES I KNOW IT IS NOT GOOD BUT THAT'S ME ..."

But it's not 'just you' is it? This is the point we keep making time and time again. Why is it that 95% of 'Woo' websites contain such bloody awful spelling and grammar? Personally speaking, my spelling and grammar is appalling, I am the King of Typos, we all make mistakes, but I DO have a spell check (which sometimes fails admittedly) but if you produce a website to sell a service, don't you think you should at least get someone to proof read it first?

'Psychics' tend to disagree, preferring to come across as illiterate instead of professional. Please, and not just you Christine, if you are selling something, at least give your customers the courtesy of making it look like you used a bit of effort.

"WHAT I DO OBJECT TO IS SOMEONE LIKE DONNIS PULLING ME UP ON MY GRAMMAR WHEN HE CANT EVEN SPELL IT....MISTAKES MADE BY DONNIS IN AN EMAIL TO ME TELLING ME HOW BAD MY GRAMMAR IS ....."

As I have stated above, everyone makes mistakes, in an email it doesn’t matter too much, but on a website that sells something? Would you really buy a car from a garage that advertises "Get yor carz from us, we is the bestest"?

"I DONT USUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SKEPTICS BUT THE SKEPTICS ON THE BADPSYCHICS SITE USE INSULTS AND CHILDISH BEHAVIOR(sic) TO GET THERE(sic) POINTS OVER"

No, not all of them, in fact we have some very articulate and polite sceptics (that's 'sceptics' Christine, we're not in America) on BadPsychics.

Personally speaking, I'm in the 'insulting and childish' section, I sometimes affiliate myself with the 'offensive and rude' group and occasionally the 'downright obnoxious', but I still think I get my point across without having to hug too many people.

"THERE REALLY IS NOT(sic) NEED YOU DONT HAVE TO BE AGGRESIVE AND RUDE AND DOWNRIGHT NASTY TO GET A POINT OVER .."

I'm afraid Christine that some of us view how you earn a living with such disgust that 'being nice about it' went out the window a long time ago. Some of us wonder how people like you sleep at night.

"THEY REFER TO PEOPLE LIKE ME AS TRICKING GULIBLE(sic) PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY"

Yes we do. Not just the gullible, but also the grieving, the desperate, the vulnerable and the credulous.

"I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT' PEOPLE COME TO ME BECAUSE THEY WANT TO I DONT(sic) NOT FORCE ANYONE.."

Whether you 'force' anyone is not the issue. Do you think anyone would come and see you if you said you CAN'T talk to the dead? No, of course they wouldn't. You prey on vulnerabilities.

"AND FOR MANY YEARS NOW I HAVE TOLD MY CLIENTS THAT IF I OR THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE READING THEN THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PAY"

And just how many people are too polite to actually complain?

I DID READINGS FOR YEARS FOR NO PAYMENT AT ALL..

It's a shame you didn't carry on with that method.

"I DO CHARGE NOW BUT ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS MY JOB NOW."

It seems you've realised there is money to be made by peddling an unproven, non-tangible 'service' that any second rate stage magician could provide.

"I PROVIDE A SERVICE SO I GET PAID FOR IT NOBODY EXPECTS A SERVICE FOR FREE .."

Just exactly what 'service' do you provide, pretending to talk to the dead? How is that a 'service'?.....

"THE CHURCH CHARGES FOR A WEDDING.. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY BEFORE GOD IS ANYONE TELLING THE CHURCH THEY HAVE TO PROVE GOD IS THERE IN THE CHURCH ?"

You pay for the Ceremony, after which you are legally married, you even get a certificate! They are providing a tangible service.

"THEY CHARGE FOR FUNERALS CAN THEY GAURANTEE(sic) THAT THE DECEASED WILL GO TO HEAVEN?"

Exqueeze me? The money is not to make sure the deceased enters heaven, the money is to make sure the body is put in a grave/Urn and not left on the side of the road somewhere or stuffed behind a radiator. You pay for a tangible service, the burial/cremation.

"I TRY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIY TO PROVE LIFE AFTER DEATH I REALLY THINK THAT SKEPTICS(sic) SHOULD PROVE LIFE AFTER DEATH DOES NOT EXIST.. .INSTEAD OF JUST SLAGGING PEOPLE OF(sic) .."

You 'Psychics' never let me down, I was wondering how long it was going to be before you came up with "prove there ISN'T life after death". It really is quite a pathetic argument that has been beaten around the head so many times it's starting to look like Michael Jackson. Can I say this once and once only? All together now...

You cannot prove something is NOT there. It defies logic and critical thinking.

Come on people, there are kids in Nursery school who can tell you the same. It's a pathetic argument made by Woomongers who fail time and time again to provide ANY evidence that what they are saying is real and still charge people money for it under the umbrella of 'you have to be open minded'.

"BADPSYCHICS SHOULD GO ABOUT THINGS IN A MORE PROFFESIONAL(sic) AND SCIENTIFIC MANNER IF THEY WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE THEM MORE SEROIUSLY(sic).. AT THE MOMENT THEY ARE REVELING(sic) IN THE PUBLICITY THEY ARE GETTING SO WHO NOW WANTS THEIR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME ?"

There is NOTHING scientific about exposing 'Psychics'. There would be, but every time one is asked to be scientifically tested, they always find a reason or an excuse not to be. Come on Christine, why don't you stand by your remarks? Let 'scientifically test you', if you're genuine, you have nothing to fear, and if you pass, we will champion you, promote you and personally speaking, I will devote my time and money to making sure your abilities are known throughout the World.

As for 15 minutes of fame, it's not something we seek. All we want is to expose people who prey on the vulnerable.

"THE HIGHER YOU CLIMB THE LOWER YOU FALL IT WILL HAPPEN SOON."

Er....Eh?

"ALLICATIONS(sic) MADE AGAINST ME ON BP SITE......THAT I AM TOUTING FOR BUSINESS ON THE MOST HAUNTED SITE .......I NEVER SENT THAT EMAIL TO THE FORUM MY DAUGHTER DID SHE WANTS ME TO GO ON MOST HAUNTED SO SHE SENT IT TO SEE IF THEY WOULD RESPOND ...."

That’s odd, you denied all knowledge of it originally, now it appears you’re blaming your daughter?.... In fact if I remember correctly you even stated that "someone had hacked into the LivingTV site" to put the post there.....

"JOE TWO TREES .......I HAVE HAD A FIRST NATIONS GUIDE FOR OUITE(sic) SOME TIME I CALLED HIM TWO TREES ...THEN A WHILE AGO A MEDIUM SAID TO ME THAT WILL BE JOE TWO TREES ....SO STUPIDLY WITHOUT CHECKING UP I BELEIVED(sic) THIS PERSON I GUESS I AM ABIT(sic) GULIBLE(sic) THAT WAY ....I LOOKED UP JOE TWO TREES AND MISREAD THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIM ....I WAS GOING TO LOOK INTO HIS HISTORY ABIT(sic) MORE BUT NEVER GOT ROUND TO IT ...SO I THOUGHT HE WAS THE LAST OF HIS TRIBE AS THAT'S WHAT WAS SAID OF HIM ....I WAS WRONG I SHOULD OF SPOKEN TO MY GUIDE TWO TREES AND CONFIRMED THIS INFORMATION BUT I DID NOT AND FOR THAT I STAND GUILTY BUT IT WAS NOT DONE INTENTIONALY(sic) AND AFTER ALL I MAY BE MEDIUMISTIC BUT I AM HUIMAN(sic) FIRST AND BEING HUMAN I MAKLE(sic) MISTSAKES(sic) AND SOMETIMES TAKE THE LAZY WAY INSTEAD OF REALLY LOOKING INTO THINGA(sic) WELL THIS WILL TEACH ME IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE SURE BEFORE I PUT ANYHTING(sic) ON MY SITE .."

Hang on... this is YOUR Spirit Guide right? If you can't get the information correct about your guide who allegedly helps you, what chance have you got of talking to anyone else who's dead?

I HAVE HAD A FIRST NATIONS GUIDE FOR OUITE(sic) SOME TIME I CALLED HIM TWO TREES "

For quite some time? You mean you don't now? You realise that looks the same as "I had a First Nations Guide called Two Trees until BadPsychics pointed out I was talking rubbish so now I don't have him any more"?....

"WELL AT LEAST I DONT USE THE MONEY I MAKE TO DRINK IT ALL UP THE WALL ."

Oh dear.. the phrase you're looking for is p... oh forget it.....

"I USE IT TO LIVE IT IS MY JOB....I HAVE HEARD THAT DONNIS DOES NOT HAVE A JOB I DONT KNOW HOW TRUE THIS IS .."

No you don't do you, you have no idea at all, but your arguments are so pathetically weak the only thing you can come up with is that?
Personally I would rather NOT work than live knowing my money has come from the gullible, vulnerable and credulous.

"WHEN HE IS LIVING OF(sic) THE DONATIONS SENT BY USERS OF HIS WEBSITE... "

If Donnis is getting enough donations to 'live on' I want a pay rise, at least 8% AND I want the company car replacing, its a bloody heap.

Perhaps Christine, and please don't take this as me 'having a go', I really do mean it in a positive way. Perhaps if you laid off the whole Spirit/Medium thing for a while and maybe put that time into helping people in an Adult Literacy class? I think both sides could benefit more than 'talking to the dead'.
