There is always this thing about mediums being nice people being mentioned , it may very well be true that barrie johns is a "nice person " , many people have good qualities and bad ones just the same , but the matter being debated on BP is not a persons personality , charity work , kindness or anything remotely to do with all that .
The issue is are they selling a service to people that is NOT what it says it is or cannot be proved to work , whether they themselves believe it to be real or whether they know they are selling a fake product doesnt change the problem .
Its not about a character assasination its about stopping vulnerable people paying mediums who believe they are helping for something that isnt real or cant be proved to have any beneficial effects on the sitter or in the worst cases stopping the same people being fleeced by frauds who are fully aware of what they are doing and who make a living out of using the insecurities and misfortune of others .
Barrie John may be a lovely man or he may not , his personality and how he goes about his business (and it is a business ) are just factors in a bigger picture , one that applys to everyone BP looks at .
In short the quetion really is are mediums/psychics charging people for a service that isnt real and benefiting from this where the sitter is not .
I completely and utterly agree with this statement. I am on a mission to expose these people due to my own personal experience and the problems that this has caused within my own family. My sister was told by him that I had an adopted brother which I clearly did not but asking my Mother has caused untold problems for the whole family.
