LOL! I have to laugh at your law RG,
Sleeping Naked is against the Law LOL!! How on earth did they police that?? LOL!!
But the bit where a fortune teller would stand around a corner..
Yes well can you picture this.
Loads of fortune tellers all dressed up to the nines. fishnets on.. sticking their legs out, so they can turn a reading LOL!
And actually what if they were on a straight bit of a building and not a corner, does that count?? LOL!!
The Maleus Manificarum ( THe Hammer of the Witches) was still being used right up until 1944..
The last person to be convicted under it Helen Duncan. ( Medium) she knew a british war ship had gone down, But the government were delaying telling the public, due to the London bombing, Keeping it from public klnowledge until they felt it was a right time, trying to repreive the public and keep spirits up..
Helen told a client she has a young man with her, he is a sailor and his ship had gone down.. ( Clients son)
The woman was adamant she would know if that was the case, she hadnt got any letter from the government , so the Medium must be wrong. the woman went away and upset and infuriated the Medium would tell such lies.. word spread and Helen was picked up under the act of Witch Craft.
The Medium was spot on with her prediction and the young man had indeed died.. But the government felt they could not risk Helen being out there in the public, knowing too much , so they locked her away in a Prison for 10 months til the end of the war..To do that they used the Old archaic law of witch craft ( Maleus Manificarum) to do so, legally!!
The Law has since been abolished. But the way the law can be used and twisted is wrong , so very very wrong!!
Here is the article about Helen < i am glad i found it.. written in 2006, It gives much more details than my basic outline of the case.. I might copy it onto a word document , as this is History about people with this gift of Mediumship and Psychic abilities, we are not criminals, just genetically made slightly different, and put to a good cause we are certainly handy
We are using a part of the brain that most dont..
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2006/12/06/exclusive-britain-s-last-witch-trial-115875-18215850/and Here is a Wikipedia article on the Maleus Manificarum. I read through it, it seems pretty right..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-huntAnd here is a copy of the Maleus Manificarum embedded in my website.. Its the 1486 version translated to Modern English in 1923.
The Book was changed 13 times to suit the times over the years.
http://www.dancingbearonline.com/Guest%20room%20.htmlI think this dude should get off of his high horse.. and you know what makes it scary.. there are so many people out there with the same ideas as him. Sad really more so, I think!
we are still in the dark ages.. If a person is different then condem them, outcast them and make them illegal.
SB < RG would make anyone think that psychics are frauds.. LOL!
We have our very own SB in my Town.. he claims to work with Demons LOL!! and you know whats ironic he has his own shop and loads of people go to him.. Tourists especially. Now he is wrong!! he still uses a book under the table.
so I guess, i get some laws especially when it comes to this fella
But to lump us all into the same basket , again is wrong.
I think people need to sift through the good and bad.. just like they do their local hairdresser, they choose one that suits them or does it themselves, and is not a rip off.
Whether people like it or not, i cannot help who i am. I was born this way.
I cannot change even if i wanted to. So they are saying It is against the Law to be me!!
I guess many people out there who are not mediums or psychics know what that feels like..
and like many I dont give a toss!! LOL!
Fortune telling in Australia is not against the Law. we actually have to declare and pay taxes.. But one clause under the taxation office actually deems Reading Cards as a Hobby.. so it comes under the Hobby law..
which is very liberal , and fuzzy in its conditions..well for me anyway!!
I have every single year taken my earnings to the accountant at tax time.
So would this fella shut his pie hole if, Fortune tellers in Canada Paid taxes just like everyone else?
I dont think so by the sounds of him.. I bet he was a Judge of witches in his past life LOL! and frustrated this life he has no power LOL!!
We are more Bristish law over here. being under the commonwealth and all..
So mostly we have their old laws. with our New ones thrown on top.
Like i am wondering if anyone can tell me.. Not to change the subject on purpose but!!
If under British Law, Spiritalism is a bona fide religion .. would it be in Australia?
How would i find out?
This has been really interesting RG.. Thanks for this!!
I cant stand uneducated prats!! That think they know it all and yet have done very little research. and Miss the bigger picture!!
