Who on here believes that Syliva Browne is a fraud and why?

Personally, I think she is. I've watched her several times on the Montel Williams Show and have made several observations.

1. When someone asks a simple generic question to her for example, "how about my love life or how about my job", Montel steps in real quick and says, "you have to be specific". I find that strange. Shouldn't Syliva know what they are specifically referring to. I am assuming Syliva has this prearranged.

2. On one particualar show someone asked who was haunting her house, Syliva said some unusual name like Thadeus. Then 2 minutes later, someone in the audience asked her their guardian angel was. Sylvia quickly said Thadeus. Well, that is just too much of a coincidence in my opinion. She had Thadeus on the tip of her tongue so that is what she spit out. I'm sure she realized what she said afterwards.

3. The worst was when she was on the AM program Coast to Coast with George Noory during the Sago Mine deaths in West VA. Of course it was first reported that every miner was alive. She said to George, "I knew they would be found alive". Then the news started to come in that all but one were dead. Then she said "nope, they are all dead". Then to find out one did survive.

4. If you go to her article on Wikipedia you'll see several case after case predictions that she got wrong on the Montel Show. One woman was missing and she claimed that she was taken into prostitution only to find out that dental records prove that she was an unindentified body found years before.

5. She claims that the World will end in 95 years, however she also states that she is a Christian. Didn't the Bible mention that "no one" knows when Christ will come again?

6. Her ex husband claims that Sylvia has no psychic ability. Maybe if she did she would have never married a husband she knew she was going to divorce.

7. Something else really bothers me. People come on the Montel Show and are practically drooling over Sylvia, like she is God or something. They'll ask her a question and Sylvia will say something very generic to them and they'll act like she just laid hands on them and gave them wings. It really is silly.

8. She claimed that Al Gore would win the election in 2000. Then she later comes on and said she got that wrong because she was thinking of terms of popular votes. No, no no, I don't think so Syliva, if you were psychic you would have read through that. You can't have it both ways. There are 10s of examples in pop culture that she gets wrong every year.

If I'm honest, I use to be someone who really admired her ability and what she had to say. However, the longer I studied her predictions and how she goes about things, the more I realized that she is just a person who wants to be psychic.

Any thoughts?
