 Midget Lover
     
Location: Kentucky | I will admit that I've used an animal communicator three times. In every instance I would get so excited talking about my horses that I feel like I gave them "hints" and they were able to "diagnose" via what I was spewing out of my mouth.
It almost felt like a fortune teller to me. I've used two different ones. One of which was too busy selling me their products. The other was nice, but I felt like it didn't help. |

Three 4 I struggle with your point of view too. My grandmother foresaw things that happened in the future and I have lived long enough to see them come true. As I said I struggle with this.
That's why I absolutely don't judge anyone for using them. It's something I've gone back and forth with trying to figure out. I'm not comfortable with it, but I'm sure not saying my interpretation of what the Bible is talking about is correct. Maybe I'm misinterpreting it.....someday I'll know. |

Location: Ky | It's a scam pure and simple. If it wasn't a scam they would do a reading right when you call. Or better yet, they would call you since they know you want to talk to them.
They use the time from when you schedule the reading and the reading to gather information. They only have to get a little bit right since the person paying is wanting to believe anyway.
Houdini exposed the fakes almost 100 years ago when it comes to humans. When need an animal Houdini to out these fakers. |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | I used one once. When Grasshopper was in the hospital. By then Dr. Tanner had told me twice he didn't know if he had 24 hours to live. My fear was that he was in so much pain that I didn't know if it was right to try and keep him alive. I was desperate for an answer and not even sitting for hours with Grasshopper would have told me the answer. Dr. Tanner couldn't tell me the answer and I wasn't in a good place to know either. So I made a 15 minute appointment.
The lady wanted to know his name, age, and if he was a mare or gelding. That was it. I told her nothing else-literally. The first thing she said was "pain." She said his front right leg (the leg that was causing everything and whether or not he would survive) was causing him a lot of pain but that he was trying to rest (the hospital said he was laying down a lot-more than usual for horses, which was a good thing." She then said he was in a big stall that he could see outside and all of the horses (another true statement). She said he liked the attention (totally Grasshopper). But the kicker was when she said he said, "I am so sorry. This is my fault. I am fighting, don't give up on me." I had (and to this day still) struggle with the accident being my fault. And I had called for a specific reason. The lady knew none of this.
I knew then we were making the right decision. I needed that call. It wasn't 15 minutes and I did ask her about Lilly -she was pretty dead on with her but nothing was wrong and I didn't have anything to ask except for stupid things like, "Is she happy?" lol. But it was the best money I have ever spent and I would do it again. |

 Purveyor of unconventional wisdom

Location: CA | If you read 1 Cor. 12 you will see that yes we are given these gifts.
1 Corinthians Chapter 12
1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?
20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

I've called two different ones, three times. Used one twice and both times she was dead on and told me things there is NO way she can look up online.
If you don't understand it, fine. If you don't believe in it, fine, but to say it's all a scam is ridiculous. Also, the Bible does not warn against it, in fact, it says to listen to the animals ::
Job 12:7-10New International Version (NIV)7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
10 In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.
It was $25 a session when I did it and I've wasted more money on beer. I also bought a few books to read about it and try the exercises because I'm into learning new things. It was fun. I wouldn't bet my horse's health on it, but I also don't think I'm going to HedoubleLL over it.
Try it and if you like it, do it, if you don't, you learned you don't like it. Big whoop. Mary Argo is who I used twice, both times VERY accurate. I think Kay was the other I used and she was not accurate for me. That doesn't mean I think she's a fake, I think it means that was an off day or that she's just not as good as Mary. I don't need to put down what they do to feel better about myself. |

Location: Arizona | It's funny that this thread is posted. My thread on "Bartonella" that I just posted comes from a "animal communicator" who's diagnosing my two friends horses with this "disease". She claims she's a vet too. And the medicine to treat this so called Bartonella is almost $400. I have been reading everything I can on Bartonella and not one find has come up with any type of medicine. Strange...hmm..I think she's taking my friends for a ride! |

Location: Paradise , tx | RidenFly - 2014-11-26 8:54 AM I think owners are the best communicators for thier animals. If we'd get our noses out of our cell phones and maybe take a few hours to sit in the pasture and watch...
I think you are absolutly correct on that. My husband always kids me about that. I always know when they are alittle off (horses or dogs). I think it shouild be a normal event , just like when
your kids are little and cann't talk. You just spend time with them and know them.
