I will have at least educated you on the violence, abuse and devastation that cults cause... but as for doing it here on this thread no....
And no I retracted my claws... I meant what I wrote.

I have nothing to say to you that everybody on the internet can't read. That's what these threads are for--entertainment. That's what this forum is for. If you don't want to talk in public then we're done talking.

Anywho here's a famous example of a psychic dream to start out with in his own words:
"About ten days ago, I retired very late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream. There seemed to be a death-like stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. I saw light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break? I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the East Room, which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.' Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which woke me from my dream. I slept no more that night; and although it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since." -Abraham Lincoln

Except those aren't Lincoln's own words. He NEVER wrote an account of this dream. The story was given to us by Lincoln's bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon, some 20 years after Lincoln's death. Lamon also stated at one point, while discussing the dream with the president, that Lincoln told him the body in the casket was NOT his own. Lamon stated that Mary Lincoln was also present when Lincoln recounted his dream but she never mentioned it to anyone which we should certainly find odd if she had really heard it.
Did Abraham Lincoln predict his own death?
As for Sylvia Browne's right predictions, I think we can safely chalk that up to scripted encounters (which Montel Williams was notorious for). They have to script them because when she tries to wing it cold, you can see how abysmal she is.
'According to Browne, “my accuracy rate is somewhere between 87 and 90 percent, if I’m recalling correctly.” This article disputes that statistic by examining the criminal cases for which Browne has performed readings. The research demonstrates that in 115 cases (all of the available readings), Browne’s confirmable accuracy was 0 percent.'
