Don't Put Your Faith in Psychics
Nottakingthebait:
I just wanted to write this post because it has been on my mind for a while and I am glad that someone started this topic. As most of you know I have read with everyone over the course of a few years, some have got details of things that happened to me (past), but nothing has happened like I was told it would. Time lines have come and gone and still nothing, as a matter of fact my case is not filed away and it looks like it will not be resolved anytime soon if ever. I was told shortly before I had health issues that the leads have dried up, the anxiety and stress took over and my heart failed. Not one reader saw this coming, as a matter of fact they all had wonderful predictions for me this year....marriage (LOL I will never do that again), my career taking shape again, my case being solved, and many other things. I have spent the past 6 months in and out of the hospital, mulitple surgeries, and a hospital crash cart implanted in my chest, NO ONE saw anything close to what my life has been. Something this significant should have at least been seen, I would have been happy is someone would have said "oh I see a visit to the ER" LOL, sad to say nothing. I am in a position now that I will not and can not have a reading, and yes that means ever!
I have to say that the disappointment and financial drain that readings cause all of us in not worth the good night sleep that one will gain, in the end the issue at hand still exist and the disappointment and frustrations can and will be large.
I speak from many years of experience when I say the information we gather from readings usually turns to be nothing like what is really going on, in fact it seems that it is the complete opposite of what really happens. I have said this so many times and now I believe what I say....if a prediction happens it is a lucky guess. I have a lot of time on my hands laying here in this bed reading and out of all the members here only a handful have had small predictions happen, nothing major. I am sad when I see members so down that they can not see a way out and feel the only choice for them is to give up. I know I have praised a few readers because at the time they were giving me correct information of things that happened, but sadly nothing they "saw" coming came.
I pray that everything you all wish for comes true, but be realistic and prepare yourself for what comes anyway. Now that my days of hiding on the phone getting readings are over, I will be putting together my super long list of every damn reader on Keen that is and was wrong for me. I know I will probably be slammed for slamming someones favorite but hey I will give my experience with each of them. I hope that someone will take something from my experience, and the experience of many of us here and save your money for a trip, new car, new house, or a trip to the casino....instead of paying for these things for a stranger that does not care about you once you hang up the phone. Synergy posted long ago that these psychics are NOT your friends and trust me after all the things I have paid for, for them, they should be my BFF's!!
Psychic readings can be very dangerous especially if you believe that because 50 of them are telling you the same thing...it will be. Please remember the disclaimer they ALL use: "For entertainment purposes only"! I dont know about you but there was nothing entertaining about what I went through, there was nothing entertaining about having a crash cart implanted in my chest...and yes, I feel that my heart stopped because I could not take anymore stress, disappointment, or pain.

Amen! EXCELLENT post, kicking!! Thanks for sharing your experience as someone who has certainly been through it and lived to tell the story. Glad you're on the mend :-*

Thank you Lioness for you support and most of all for keeping me sane during the dark hours, you will never know how much you mean to me! I worry every time I see someone new come to the forum searching for a reader that is right, you and I witnessed a very troubled member crying out in despair.
Thank you Lion for being such a great support for me and for others here!

Awww, you're so welcome, Kicking. There's really no need to thank me; I'm happy to be there for you and others on here, just as you've been there for me. We are all in this together. Thank you for sharing your story as a cautionary tale to others.

First let me say I hope things pick up for you, KTH.
But I have to agree wholeheartedly - it appears as if the readings have nothing to do with reality. It's like getting a hit, and then dealing with the comedown. Also, you are right they almost never pick up anything bad.
If anyone is addicted to readings, the good news is that eventually when enough readers turn out to be wrong, you finally see through the looking glass and realize they aren't all powerful and all knowing. It takes a lot of calls to reach this epiphany, but once you do, it's just not worth it to call anymore.
