What she does is wrong, purely because of her attitude towards people; that really pisses me off.

It's good to know that I am not alone. ;D
I would also like to know why she hasn't been charged with fraud, I'm serious.
I'm surprised that someone hasn't tried to hurt her yet.........

I think she knows she's one big blagger.

She's a gangster, of course, but........ I can't help but find her harley-davidson-exhaust voice kind of hypnotic... Is it just me? I think maybe she's smoked so many fags that she now transmits airborne nicotine when she speaks... hence my addiction to her voice...

Okay....Originally when I started exploring the Meduim/Psychic side of things due to personal experiences in my life, I started by buying her books. They looked very interesting to Me. I found her books very good, well written, convincing and thought provoking and it gave me hope as to Life on the Otherside(one of her books). From there I went on to other Authors(I read all Sylvia's books by then), like Doreen Virtue and others. They all seemed to say the same thing as Sylvia Browne does in her books, so I thought, "well she can't be that bad or wrong if they are all saying the same thing about life after death". Reading those books gave me a comfort that I was searching for and I passed on those books for others to read and hope they found them informative too. I went to her website looking for more info. What I found was very very expensive prices for private readings with Her and her Son. I wasn't about to pay those prices for a phone call. I looked at her tour dates, bummed out there was nothing near Me. So, I started watching her on Montel and reading about Her here and watching the clips of Her readings here and on You tube, they were SO off! To say I was crushed to realize she was not what she portrayed herself to be IMHO, was an understatement!!!!! I don't hate anybody, as others said, its too strong of a word, but I understand. I do detest her now though and lost any and all respect for that woman! I believe Montel keeps her on because of the ratings, I don't know why really, she has shown over and over again how off she is and how wrong she is. I think people want to believe she is legit and that she knows what she's talking about. Yes, she is Human, no-one can be 100% accurate all the time, but she is always waaaaay more times than not. Do I believe anything in her books are accurate? Yes, but only the parts from people who have had NDE's and relayed their stories to Her. Other than that, I don't think she is a true Psychic/Meduim. I do believe in other Meduims, but not her!! Justme

Ahh, the old "I can't be accurate 100% of the time" line.
The cold-readers favourite!

This always makes me shake my head, do any believers realise that if a medium *did* have access to the ultimate universal knowledge via a spirit they would be right 100% of the time? or does this type of logic have a major flaw in it that escapes me?

Acorah's cr@p at cold reading. But he does come across as likeable, which is how he's got to where he is today i think.

I appreciate everyone who's replied to my post here, thank you all so much! I am very curious to know if anyone knows if there are any laws against mediums like her that currently exist in the United States, or if anyone knows a web site where I can research this. I'm so furious with this bitch and I really really REALLY want to know why she hasn't been charged with something .

Dont know about the laws in the States, but we are currently trying to get the law changed in the UK to make these people easier to prosecute

This woman should be banned from doing any psychic work.

I agree Mook! I emailed the gentleman who started the Stopsylviabrowne website and I've asked him if he has any info regarding the laws in the states etc. I'll let you know if and when he replies.

I'm so furious with this bitch and I really really REALLY want to know why she hasn't been charged with something . That is never going to happen. If you have read stopsylvia browne website and looked at the "Affidavit" Regarding Sylvia Browne section on there you will see that she admits that "I think people have unrealistic expectations sometimes, until they get to know you, that they think that you're like God, that you can see everything, and that's not true because only God knows everything. I think they have unrealistic expectations that they want you to be 100%, and that's not true. I've been very fortunate, I've been around for fifty-two years doing this work and I, I run about an 87%, and I think that's pretty good." They could get for extortion. However, technicalities could get her off in a snap. As the one above. This is a tricky little one.

The gentleman who runs the site was kind enough to email me back. He said that there are people (currently) who are looking very closely into the laws regarding what she does and he'll get back to me. I agree shesabadone. And I think that that is the overall problem with people like her. They know just where to draw the line, and how much they can get away with.
