Sometimes i go with my friend to a "fortune teller". because she believe their capability to tell the good and the bad luck and yes they really proved it based on my friend's experience. but on my part I dont believe it because only God the Almighty can tell what's the good and bad for us. How about you, do you believe it?

I used to believe in fortune tellers. But now i don't. From experience they just let you hear what you want to hear. Plus all the added extras that you would pay for. I remember one famous (very famous fortune teller, in fact she was the fortune teller of celeberities) fortune teller whose shop was to the right of the restaurant that I was working for at that time. Clients would come to my store and order the most expensive item on the menu, because according to them, this was what the fortune teller asked for. It was a sort of "thanksgiving gift". LOL.

Perhaps she gets a percentage. Just kidding. It is weird that even on the menu, they have a take on what the customer would want.

Hi. I think it would not hurt if you try and see a fortune teller. We should not let it as the be all and end all of our activities in life. Personally, I do not believe in them. I only believe that God is the only source of our whole being. We should not totally rely our lives or be dependent on what fortune tellers say. God is the only ultimate protector of our lives.

No, I don't and have no plans to seek advise from them. I think what happened to your friend is pure coincidence. The same thing goes with horoscope wherein certain things will happen to you that day. I truly believe that before doing anything, you should analyze the situation, do your best and pray hard, whatever your religion is. Thanks, Kabayan!

No one can foretell anybody's fortune or future. The so-called fortune tellers are actually using "cold reading" as techniques to make their clients believe that what they're saying are relevant or have some connections.

I haven't gone to a fortune teller but I wish sometimes. I don't believe in that stuff because we can't really predict the future. But we can make the future happen as we like it if we strive to make it happen. The wishing is just for fun and entertainment since I have friends too who go to fortune tellers for the fun of it. I was not able to go with them when my freinds asked the fortune teller if the guy she had a crush with will be her boyfriend LOL.

No. Like you I don't and never believe on this fortune teller. I don't believe because if you believe them why still pray with your God? I think those fortune tellers are just fooling us..don't believe them...
