How A Psychic Fraud Can Be Created

This is on the issue of those who did have faith in spiritualism and/or new age as a psychic and/or mediums (spirit communicator), and they realise it's not real magical powers, and so they think it is best to continue to make a living off the skill even though they no longer have a mystical faith.

Just to add, I had faith in it, as many of you know, I got out it long before I made money off it, but IF I had got on stage as a psychic then i may have considered holding on to the act even if I realised the gift was just delusion and linguistic tricks, I suggest that many psychics could start out from faithful routes.

We do not forgive or forget, at least not until those who commit acts make amends to those wronged

The Cult Of Alan John Miller (The Second coming) And Demanding Extraordinary Evidence.


AJ Miller Is a person who had faith in being on track with the Jehovah Witnesses, over time, according to what is known about him, he left and later had a revelation, was this a guy who woke up from religion and saw how money was to be made? Was this pseudo-Christ a believer in his crusade for a new true Christianity or just another cheap fraud?

As I see it he is just a conman who uses his gained wealth and fame to build a new religion in which he is god on earth, his followers are thought reformed(brainwashed) and he uses donations to buy an ever growing community area in Australia.

Is he building up towards isolationism? Or even worse an Australian version of Johnstown?

Is he a dangerous nutjob or a man who is even more dangerous because he has full faith in his Heavenly message?

What we can is his bank account grows large, his power grows, his own little empire that is increasingly global, and although figures suggest a small following it is a multinational organisation that has grown around his cult religion.

a great news story on AJ Miller:



this Documentary on the cult leader AJ Miller gives you a deep and true insight into what many small and new sects are like, run by a self ordained prince of peace with a need for a following, and families are separated, friends removed, and the hub of the faith sits like the spider at the centre of the web.

A quote to consider when we think of many cult religions:
"You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion." - L Ron Hubbard.

Psychic Fraud News Report - Sylvia Browne Death Special

Sylvia Browne Death Special - Psychic Fraud News Report

Sylvia Browne was a fake, a con-artist, she has made many millions by playing on human weakness, getting prior knowledge for tv appearances, and doing cold reading for expensive telephone readings. Death is too good for this woman, what a shame her shame was not exposed better within her life time, what a shame she didn't have to do a real job instead tricking those who are very sad at a loss of a close loved one.

My message to Sylvia Browne's fans, move on with your life, don't make that fraud out to be a saint on earth, a holy woman, a great gifted soul who was a prophet, screw that, look past your little religious thinking into a fact based reality, where you are not encouraged to accept hearsay as evidence.

My message to haters of Sylvia Browne, time to move on, be critics, not haters, expose other charlatans by what you have learned, and do not let these sick people bring you down, one battle is over and yet the war on conmen is far from over.

A few thoughts for those who believe in tv psychics and tv mediums, every time we find trickery at work, every moment we glimpse where the mask slips, every error on the part of these people, we see evidence that they are not honest beings practising a greater truth or power, from this even you cannot assume they are as genuine as you may wish to believe.

Sylvia Browne's books will continue to gain her org more money, there are other psychics in her org, and the cult of Sylvia is surviving her death, but for how much longer I do not know.

Some reports on Sylvia Browne Suggest that something like 200 million was made by Sylvia Browne over the last three decades, most of this since she was regularly on the Montel Williams Show, she got a profile that flew her high enough to shift vast numbers of books, tickets to shows, CDs & DVDs, as well as her expensive telephone readings.

Message from D.J. Grothe on Sylvia Browne's death

Written by D.J. Grothe  

The JREF sends our condolences to Sylvia's family and loved ones. No one celebrates her death, but skeptics do criticize how she lived.

Her dismal track record at predictions she confidently predicted she would die at 88, not 77, for instance would merely be laughable if they did not hurt so many people. Remember Sean Hornbeck. Or Amanda Berry.

The number of people she hurt with her pretend supernatural abilities is nearly as high as the number of her failed predictions. It is sad that it took death to stop Sylvia Browne.
