| Email: "He Will Live a Long Life"A man asks Browne about the health of a friend. Published: Apr 09, 2008 Chris, friend of the email author. BackgroundAfter publishing the article Email: "My Sister Margaret and Me", I was contacted by Robert Samuels, a former member of Novus Spiritus and author of the email published on this site in the article Novus Spiritus: "These Freaks Only Come Out at Night". Rev. Samuels told me of an experience he had which was very similar to that described in the "My Sister..." article. I asked him to put his experience in email form so that I could publish it here. This article is the result. The EmailHere, with the author's permission, is that email. And, as usual, this email is simply one person's account of their experience.
AnalysisThis account, and the one detailed in the "My Sister Margaret..." article, are simply two of many I have received from people who had been told by Browne that a friend or loved one would live a long life, only to have that person die shortly after. Sometimes, as detailed in the article "Janet McDonald's Reading", a person is told that they themselves will live a long life, only to die shortly afterward. In the analysis section of the "Margaret" article I detail just some of the problems which such false "predictions" can cause for a person and their loved ones. ConclusionI believe that Browne makes these "predictions" secure in the knowledge that if she guesses right, people will not complain, and if she guesses wrong, people will be busy dealing with the death of a loved one, and so they are unlikely to complain either. All Browne has to do is mentally flip a coin, make her guess, and walk away, knowing that she will not have to deal with any of the pain and grief when she is wrong, and knowing that she will not be held accountable for her inaccuracy. For her, it is a no-lose proposition. Unfortunately, those who come to her for advice are not always as lucky. My condolences to Rev. Samuels on his loss. And my thanks to him for sharing his story with me, and with the readers of this site. |
