Gail Hagen, Doer of... something paranormal

[Ashles]

An interesting claim this one. Personally, I like it. It's wacky, it's fun, it's a delightfully zany antidote to all those nasty hospital death and Zyklon B claims.

Hi. My name is Gail. I am a born again christian.
Hi Gail!

These are some of the things that I do while in our session:

1- I may sit and stare at you or I may not even look at you, so please do not let that bother you.
Umm, okay. We'll try not to be disturbed by someone looking or not looking at us.

2- I may or may not give you names of people. Describe in complete description of people, places or things, or give you a color of a vehicle, if your first impression is that you know who or what I am talking about, PLEASE JUST SAY "YES", if you do not know what I am talking about, PLEASE JUST SAY "NO".
Whoah! Whoah! Easy there! We agree to your demands, just don't hurt us!

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME NO INFORMATION. NO OFFENSE TO YOU BUT I WILL TELL YOU TO SHUT UP. THE LEAST OF INFORMATION YOU GIVE ME THE BETTER I LIKE IT.
"No offense but I will tell you to shut up" - these born again Christians are a wacky bunch. Still she does admit the less information she is given the better she likes it.
A true soulmate for 1inChrist.
(And I'm ignoring the double negative that makes the whole rule rather silly.)

3- I will not discuss death so do not waste your time asking me any questions about someone who is going to die. But, I may describe in detail, color of hair, personality, or a situation of someone who has passed away. If you want to tell me that they are passed away, fine, but I will not tell YOU.
So she will not discuss death but she will discuss dead people. And she will describe people who may or may not be dead and (and this is really special) she will not tell you whether they are dead but you can tell her. And she makes it sound like this is an important rule! Her lack of detail is actually built into the rules!
Also, wouldn't us telling her they are dead contravene rule 2 (NO INFORMATION) anyway? Wouldn't she just tell us to shut up?

4- You may take notes if you like but there is no taping. And you may NOT write on this paper that you are now reading.
Why would we write on the challenge application? (I'm assuming this application didn't arrive by e-mail as that would be a little too wierd)

5- Bring everything with you that have brought except your coat if wearing one.
"Bring everything with you that you have brought"????
Gail's starting to sound like a train announcement.
And where are we going Gail?

You can ask questions after I am through talking. So please have your questions written down so that you do not forget what was that you were going to ask. Need paper to write your questions down while you are waiting? Please ask. It is to late to write your questions down if I am ready to talk to you now.

-Gail
"You can ask questions after I am through talking." Doesn't it traditionally work the other way round? I'll feel silly asking questions followed by your stony silence.
And once Gail starts talking that's it! Pens down! Heaven forbid you might suddenly think of another question.

Overall I'm with Kramer on this one. What is the claim? That she can randomly describe people who might be alive or dead?
I'm pretty sure, as it stands, I can perform this claim.

Good luck Kramer.

I dislike it when people claim to be "born again." Pardon me for getting it right the first time.

What the...?

"I can describe people who are alive or dead." O. K.

I'm thinking of...a little old Indian man wearing simple traditional Indian cloth and spectacles. He is sitting at a spinning wheel, but important people have been wanting to talk to him. He used to be a lawyer in South Africa when he was younger and starting his campaign, but he came back to India to lead his nation into the future through the use of non-violence. He died an unnatural death, possibly by gunshot.

Hmmmm... Joseph Stalin, perhaps?? Abraham Lincoln?

Hey! I'm good at this too! Can I apply?

Oh how times have changed. There was a time when this "born again" woman's fellow Christians would have burned her at the stake.

There was a time when *she* would have burned anyone at the stake for claiming what she now claims.

BTW, what's the rationale for modern Fundies not burning witches? That it's against the law? Aren't they supposed to obey God's law before they obey Man's?

Hey, hey, there, Beady! Stop using Logic! Don't you know that, as skeptics, we aren't supposed to do that? We're expected to blindly follow their Fundie reasoning, no questions asked!:)

I like this from her latest missive:

I can tell them they have child(ren) but not necessarily their sex--I can tell them the child 's hangups that is causing them to be to aggressive, to feminime or to manly, angry, etc. I tell them age of child by their emotional growth not their actual age--if someone is very depressed--I may get two ages--ex--if they are 56--I may get a 26 and a 92--meaning they act below their age- and act like an old person.


So basically, no matter what age she guesses, she's right--because she's stating the emotional age! Woohoo! What an out.
