Posted by Rose: 1 John Chapter 4 Verse 1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit
But test the spirits whether they or of God
because many false prophets have gone out into
this world.

If God did not have a purpose for mediumship
then it would not have been created, reading
Colossians 1:16

Rose, who wrote the bible that you found these is?  Was it you?  The first bit resembles I John but that particular warns True Believers^TM not to be fooled by people such as yourself.

The second bit about mediums doesn’t exist in any bible that I’ve ever encountered.
I would also hope that if some supernatural beings did exist, they would be able to conjure up better prose than what I’ve seen thus far.

[nonsequitur]Brandi, wasn’t your old one a headshot of the same image?

Hate to ask this totally off topic, but my Firefox 1.0 doesn’t show gravatars and some images on some websites.  Firebird 0.7 does.  Anyone else have that problem? [/nonsequitur]

Rose lives with a houseful of ghosts who hate having their pictures taken.  So she takes their pictures. 

Brandi said:

no publisher is going to come anywhere near a book

Kinkos will.

Rose said:

I will say my grammar needs improving but, they do proof read it so I’m not worried about that.

Uhh, I don’t think Kinkos proof reads.

Spirit communication took place on the Mount of
Transfiguration appearing in LUKE 9:28, MATHEW 17,AND MARK 9:2.

If we spirits are gods creation why should he not want us to communicate with them.

Hasn’t god suggested that we love each other.
Certainly that includes all of his creation.

We also need to anaylize the words of the living.
Each medium recieves what he gives.
PRACTICE GODS LOVE

The Prescence of god manisfestation is one of the most conveted experiences in Christanity

Mediumship may be compared to a powerful weapon.
We must know how to employ it.
First adjust it according to the principle of divine order.
Second improve it through service to humanity because spiritual force acts upon the law of mind and its responsive.

Jesus is viewed as one of the greatest mediums
that ever lived on the earth planes.

Brandi, wasn’t your old one a headshot of the same image?

Why, yes it was. Good eye. I try to be consistent. (See! You remembered me.) But hey, the whole image is always fun, in the right venue. That devil image of ol’ Betty just keeps seeming to personify my personality, as well as pissing off the right people, so I’m pretty consistent all over the web.

Kinkos!!!! No Kinkos doesn’t proofread. I actually self-published a book for a woman who had some iffy topics that no publisher would touch. If you cough up 10+ grand, somebody will proof, typeset, and print anything you’ve got.

But no publisher in the world is going to pay a red cent out of their pocket to publish Rose’s drivel. Nor will any bookstore in the world give it an inch of shelf space.

Mediumship may be compared to a powerful weapon.

Yes, Rose, you are a big powerful weapon. [/sarcasm]

And you realize quoting biblical garbage does nothing to bolster your claim, right? It actually makes it worse.

You seem to be under the impression that if those here just ‘knew more about it’, they’d understand. That’s your mistake. I think the majority here knows SO much about the paranormal, and so much more than you, that your gullibility is laughable in comparison. Do you not see that?

Sorry I didn’t meant to upset anyone.
Now you see how it feels
Your getting a taste of your own medicine
Do you seriously think I care whether you believe it or not.
Lets just say whats in the bible is enough for me
For the person who said she was a writer.
How can that be
Do you write the way you feel?
I hope not because if everyone else on the internet new how you talk to someone here you more than likely want get a rating and if you did it would probably be poor.
Unless you write books about alot of evilness.
Who knows you may be as nice as you can be on the other side.
But that wouldn’t be honest
But what do you care
For all of you with this problem you have
Do you know what it is
I believe everyone of you have such low self esteem and it needs to be corrected.
But don’t be upset you get what you put out.
As far as the paranormal thing. 
I believe in it and I’m so happy that god is with me.
What’s your excuse
If you don’t like my response here have your
people not to send anymore emails and I’ll do the same.  I have better things to do with my life than to sit around and criticize people.
I don’t see how they aloud this on the internet

I will say one thing
The spirutal world is wonderful it’s the people like you that you have to watch out for.
I will say a prayer.
Don’t even start in about my response.
You all asked for it.

Rose, one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Yet here you are, again, spouting more gibberish. You’re starting to resemble a mouse in a room full of playful cats.

Let me give you one friendly tip. Using the bible to help convince a bunch of atheists that the paranormal exists is sort of like trying to teach someone to swim while carrying an anchor on your back.

What part of “we don’t believe in your silly god” do you not understand?

Sorry I didn’t meant to upset anyone.

You’re not upsetting anyone, Rose. We find you very amusing.

For the person who said she was a writer.
How can that be
Do you write the way you feel?
I hope not because if everyone else on the internet new how you talk to someone here you more than likely want get a rating and if you did it would probably be poor.
Unless you write books about alot of evilness.

I’m a writer as well, Rose, and I don’t think you really understand what that means. Writing isn’t about being good or being evil, it’s about telling stories and entertaining people. Try reading Lawrence Block’s excellent guide for writers: “Telling Lies For Fun And Profit.“

I believe everyone of you have such low self esteem and it needs to be corrected.

Actually, quite the reverse is true. This board is just boiling over with self esteem. I myself have an ego the size of a small planet.

As far as the paranormal thing. 
I believe in it and I’m so happy that god is with me.
What’s your excuse

I don’t need an excuse, I’m right.

I have better things to do with my life than to sit around and criticize people.

Apparently not, you’re still here.

Don’t even start in about my response.
You all asked for it.

Asked for what? Is this really supposed to be an attack? I think you need to practice your vitriol, darling.

Wow, as far as being a vicious attack goes, Rose’s latest reply is as weak as her poetry. Aren’t I supposed to feel insulted or hurt or something? I don’t think giggling was the response she was hoping to elicit from that last comment of hers, but that’s what she got from me.

The best part is she doesn’t need batteries. Just wind her up and let her go!

I don’t see how they aloud this on the internet

Yet more evidence that Rose is a dim bulb. (nevermind the spelling)

Allow what, Rose? And who is going to allow or disallow it? Who is this “they”?  There’s no Internet Hall Monitor, you boob.

The one who said she was a writer? I think that was me. But your reading comprehension is laughable. I said “As for ‘published’...well, my words are on this website, so I’m published, too! Yippee, I’m a writer!“

So, I’m just as ‘published’ as you are. Get it?

Actually, I have had my writing published in real life (through funding other than my own) so I’m much farther up the legitimate scale than you. But I still don’t consider it something particularly brag-worthy.

You obviously have no clue how the real world of publishing works. Or what it even means to “be published”.

You couldn’t coherently string thoughts together into a book to save your life. Publisher’s garbage cans are filled to the brim with the manuscripts of people far more literate, compelling, and intelligent than you.

I saw a movie the other night about Iceland.  It was from the Sundance Festival.  This documentary interviewed dozens of people who claimed to have seen “elves” “invisible people” and other spiritual beings.  They claimed that being on the center of a major rift (the North Atlantic Plate is separating from the European Plate) makes the spirits more visible. 

My question is: Rose, do you live anywhere near a major continental fault?  (Like the San Andreas, Juan de Fuca, etc?)

SG

The writing issue
I’m happy for you with your writing
You can write what you want
That is the hole point of writing
I’m just saying the way you are here
Are you the same way in your personal life
If so it needs improving
You can be the best writer in the world and not be happy with yourself

I’m just saying the way you are here
Are you the same way in your personal life
If so it needs improving
You can be the best writer in the world and not be happy with yourself

Much like most of you messages, this one lacks clarity. In particular, it’s not clear who you are addressing. I’m going to let my gigantic ego have a field day and assume it was aimed at me.

I’m quite delighted with my life and those around me and yes, I’m much the same way in real life as I am here. I do not suffer fools gladly and as such I have a much lower stress level then most people. If some one is an idiot, I tell them so.

And you, my dear, are an idiot.

Rose, what are you talking about?

Writing is not what I do for a living. It just happens that I have had NON-fiction writing published. That doesn’t make me a writer.

I also have notebooks full of teenage ‘deep thinking’ drivel I wrote when I was 13 that will never see the light of day. So do many people. It’s nothing to be proud of, it’s something only to be amused by…exactly like your writing. Except you seem to still be 13 and taking it very seriously.

Although I think my teenage drivel was more elegant and compelling than your stuff. Yours sounds like the incoherent ramblings of the girl that sat behind me in class. She was not very bright. But she tried real hard and everybody told her what a good job she was doing. “Mainstreaming” is what they called it, I believe.

Rose needs to understand that people are not going to believe you if you just spout out a bunch of Bible Crap. The Bible is proof for nothing (well, it’s proof that he loves us if you believe he exists). Futhermore, saying stuff like “Colleges doesn’t matter” detracts from your credibility even more.

Oh wait…OMG!!! THE SPIRITS HAVE TAKEN OVER IRELAND AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A FACE!! LOOK!!

Guess Rose was right after all

You can also be the worst paranormal investigator in the world and try to force your beliefs on others and guilt them into following you by telling them they are cruel and still not be happy.

brandi,

There’s no Internet Hall Monitor, you boob.

I laughed so hard I have crackers and cheez whiz stuck in my pharynx now….  If I didn’t enjoy that line so much I would be upset….  Now how am I going to get that cheez whiz out….

Rose,

I’ve reconsidered my earlier view that you might be mentally ill.  Now I’m just pretty sure that you’re really dumb, and creduluous to a fault.  I bet you’ve helped the Mariam Sese-Seko move her money out of Nigeria haven’t you?  I do have one piece of advice for you.  You should think before you say something, then you should think about it again, after you do that you should probably not say anything because you’re still probably going to say something that people will make fun of.

You still haven’t told us if you’re from Montana or not…
Inquiring minds want to know!

Brandi said: (See! You remembered me.)

Hadn’t seen you post in a while.  Glad you’re back.

Brandi said: And you realize quoting biblical garbage does nothing to bolster your claim, right? It actually makes it worse.

Rose, ask Gabriel how well bible quoting works around here.  At least she hasn’t posted under a different screen name trying to bolster her claims. 

Rose: I have better things to do with my life than to sit around and criticize people.

Like pissing off ghosts by photographing them?  Maybe that bad poetry you’re channeling is their way of getting back at you for the photos.

I don’t see how they aloud this on the internet

First Amendment. And nobody is forcing you to come to this site.  Unless one of your ghosts has possessed you.  Has that ever happened?  Is that the reason for the legal dust-up in Montana?  You can’t claim ghosts as dependents, you know.

Can you download pictures here?
I have a very interesting picture to show you all.
It’s the best one yet
I would love to know what you all think about it.

I would love to know what you all think about it.

You rode the special bus to school, didn’t you?

Rose - Just what is this picture of that you’re so sure will have an impact on our lives and why haven’t you submitted it with the others?

I also wish you’d begin answering some of the multitude of questions that have posted.

If you really want your picture to be seen here I suggest you email it to Les or go over to a free picture host, like Image Motel, and link back to it.

I am cancelling cable tomorrow morning…
This here is first class comedy.

Rose, I’m with you.

NEIN NEIN NEIN!! Antworten Sie der Questions!! Ve have vays of making you talk, you know. If you vill not talk, ve vill FORCE YOU! Now, vere you the same Rose from Montana? ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! Bitte Antworten Sie JA oder NEIN!!

Can you download pictures here?
I have a very interesting picture to show you all.
It’s the best one yet
I would love to know what you all think about it.

SHUT UP AND ANSWER THE QUESTION!!

This thread’s a riot!

Rose, try out ImageShack to store your images then read these tips…

Oh, Spocko…do you really think she’s going to be able to get images uploaded and linked? I was thinking just emailing them to somebody was going to be a struggle.

But who here wouldn’t just LOVE to see them?

If it’s not more dust or smoke, what could it be? A long exposure maybe? Reflected light? Inquiring minds…
