To chatch a psychic

[SRW]

A few years ago a few of us JREFers, would go to a chat host called Pal Talk. We had a room called The Skeptics Room or the JREF Room. There were three things we did that were fun, one was to go to the believers room and get readings, then tear them apart. Second we had a gal who was really good at doing cold readings. She would do them and then tell the believers she was a fake. One thing I used to do was to PM people as they were being read and explain what was going on....but the third thing the group did was to bring some of the believers back with ups so we could debate them. I do not think we won many converts but had great fun doing it.

Anyone else ever tried these things.

I've never but it sounds like fun.

Wow it is bad now. I went into a room and asked for a reading, I was told the
"angles didn;t" see anyting now. And I should stop asking for a reading.

I said "I was just wondering about what was going on with the cancer?"

Shaman moon beam said it is with in your to heal this, you should read the secret!!!

I told him I knew the Cancer was inside me and Wanted to know if the doctor would be able to get it out

They felt I did not need to go to the doctor just read The Secret. Then they asked the angels to look after me.

I say god damm

SRW, is that an intentional neologism in the thread title?

It makes perfect sense--"chat" and "catch" combined is exactly what you describe!

Sounds interesting, if time-consuming! I'd love to try out some cold reading that way. I'm far too chicken to try it in real life, and I hadn't thought of readings via chat or IM. Very, very interesting. :)
