    My advice would be not to get involved in these things.

    I knew you were going to say that :D

    I can see in my crysal mouse that you will have less money when you leave the 'fortune' teller than when you went in.

    That will be £10 please. I accept paypal.
  • How does a person tell the difference between a good fortune teller and a bad one?

    Is a good fortune teller the one tells you nicest things? Is it case of accuracy?

    I do realise it is what it is. But it's only for a bit of fun and should not be taken too seriously but there were parts which she said which were true. For instance I was 17 at the time and she told me I would own my own home by the age of 18. At this time I was partying and spending all my dough on anything kids that age do. So I said that would never happen. Sure enough, certain circumstances led me to buying a property at 18. How many fortune tellers are going to take a chance at saying that.

    Anyway that's my argument but I am keen to see If she still operates cos my mrs would like to go for a bit of fun.

    So please no more unhelpful advice unless someone knows if her in hillhall lisburn.

    At first glance that does sound compelling. Could you offer us more information? It is un-common for an 18 year old to buy a house after all.

    its an open forum, you cant ask us to tell you what you want to hear, we arent the fortune tellers...
  • Why do people get so uptight about fortune tellers but are quite willing to believe everything their religion tells them is, for want of a better word, "gospel".

    Fortune tellers have existed as long, if not longer, than organised religion - for instance, they were called prophets in the Old Testament

    Comparing one foolish thing with another makes neither any more sensible.
  • Got to jump in here with my tuppence worth.
    Until a couple of months ago i was a complete sceptic. I went for a reading at a girls night party. To cut a long tory short I came out gobsmacked! Now bear in mind this woman knew nothing about me, it was last minute that i decided to go a so there was no chance of finding anything out beforehand. I wont bore you with all the details but she was able to tell me my partners name, that my dad who was an engineer and who passed away 25 years ago wanted to tell my partner that his water related invention was good and to follow it through ( I had not told anyone about that and neither had my partner). Also the peacock kept on coming up in my cards and she told me in no uncertain term that i would find a peacock feather in the very near future and that would prove everything to me and that things would be ok. 2 weeks later i was a few hundred miles away from home visiting relatives. After been shown to the room where we were staying what did i find in the corner of the room... yep a peacock feather!!

    I have only mentioned a couple on here as my post seem to be getting rather long now but everything she said was very very specific to me and weren't just general stabs in the dark.

    I do believe there are a lot of scammers out there but after this experience i also now believe that there may well be something in this fortune telling malarky.
  • I didnt say either were sensible. Just that people appear to dismiss fortune tellers much quicker than they dismiss religion (especially people who claim to be religious)

    Someone wanting to go and see a fortune teller is, in my opinion, no different to someone wanting to attend their place of worship. Both cost money in the end (anyone ever seen a poor church/chapel)
