ok, i think this is absolutely ridiculous. i looked up george anderson's website, and for a "50-60" minute psychic reading, he charges $1,200. yes, you read that right folks. not $120.
are you freakin' kidding me??? honestly, who has that kind of money?! nobody i know. if i had that kind of money to blow whenever i wanted, i'd just pay God himself to come talk to me. i know other psychics charge more in the area of $120 than $1,200.
he even has a FAQ on his site that addresses this question:
Quote:We understand that our private sessions are expensive, and it is our most difficult challenge. In order to answer nearly 800 phone calls, 2000 emails and 300 letters each week requires a staff that works very hard, not only to do the administrative work, but also to be a sympathetic ear when someone in grief just wants to talk. Additionally, part of the proceeds of private and group sessions help fund programs we do all around the world to help everyone benefit from the hope the sessions can bring. George Anderson also funds many local charities, and regularly waives his fee for those of limited means in order to make peace and hope a reality in their lives. George Anderson is also considered the best medium in the world, and with any extraordinary ability comes a much higher demand.
Our programs are an investment in your peace and well-being, and we consider it a once in a lifetime experience--knowing your loved ones are happy, at peace and living on in a better world that we will someday see. It is our hope that after having come for a session, there will not be a need to hear from your loved ones again through a medium, but rather, in your own heart.
so basically, because you want to talk to your dead relative so much and he's such a great medium, that gives him the right to charge you so much? huh? i'm not following this logic at all. this is the same logic as a doctor charging sick people more money the more sick they are, because he's such an extraordinary doctor.
my question is, why do psychics need all this money? if i had a God-given gift such as being a psychic, i can tell you right now i would care much LESS about money. i would want to live fairly comfortably, but nothing crazy. i see these psychics going on all these cruises and trips and blah blah blah... must be nice! call me pessimistic, but it makes me question his sincerity. just do the math - $1,200 X 8 (8 hour workday) = $9,600 a DAY!!!! it takes that much to hire a secretary to set up your appointments?
george anderson describes himself as a Christian, but would Jesus do this? did Jesus refuse to heal people that were poor? i don't think so. Jesus himself said "if you have 2 coats and your brother has none, give him one of yours."
