Fortune telling. Do u believe in it?

[bubblegum]

I definitely believe in fortune tellings.. mayb not the ones here in the U.S. but the ones back in Asia? Hell yea, haha. idk.. but when my mom goes back to VN..she always goes to get her fortune told n the fortune teller would record down on paper or tape what would happen in the future n blah blah blah..would always come true too!! ahh freaky..but then again it also depends on who the teller is..since there are sooo many in VN..probably only half of them r accurate..the rest..ehh.

--On another note, my bro went to VN n got his fortune told there..actually, he went to 3 diff. ones, and ALL 3 said that in his life he will have 3 wives haha.... talk abt pimpin' big time lol jk..but isn't it weird how all 3 said the same thing? So something must b going on.. -rolleyes

I was in vietnam a week ago, and i had my fortune told by a women who scared the living shit out of me. Apparantly she had spirits inside of her, whilst telling one fortune and i believed it because i've never seen anything more freaky. Her mood changed from like crazy to normal in a instance, once the spirits left her and in conjunction she was eating incenses, whilst they were embodied in her. The thing she told me, was not very pleasing, and frankly i don't want to think about it. Rather ignore it.

[HokaHoka]

Mostly I BELIEVE IN FORTUNE TELLING ....

My IDEA is .... 80% is LUCK and 20% is EFFORT ....

Even if someone tells u that u will be RICH, bla bla bla, ...
U HAVE TO GET IT on Your OWN ... if u think, that since someone told u that u have a bright future and u will be a rich man .... then u just SIT there and WAIT ...
Guess what it ain't gonna HAPPEn .....

[Ecko]

yea i kinda agree with that.. it's like them telling you opportunity will knock on your door.. just gotta open it.

[imaginatorgtr]

I believe that destiny is in my own hands and I certainly wouldn't want someone to tell me what fate will befall me.

But of course, it's always fun to listen to what those fortune-tellers have to say about your future. I bet we are all interested in clairvoyance when it involves yourself, eh? Still, I don't believe them ;)

[Ecko]

You mean to tell me, you dare to defy the Gods and battle the Sisters of Fate to change your wretched destiny and have a rightful place in the heavens!!?

[kdotc]

fortune telling is fakee..so r u bubblegum =p

[L_y]

One of the scary ones I've encountered was the one my parents went to and talked about. If was one of those blind fortune tellers where all he did was feel the bones in your hands and what was recorded on the tape that he gave us was even more freaky. They were given multiple tapes and were told to only listen to X if Y happened, to this date I think all our tapes are used except 1?

Though not to the dot, the blind fortune teller was able to tell my family when our ups and downs would be and at what age my parents would strike it rich in plain terms, the advice in the form of Chinese proverbs are open to interpretations.

Even if fortune telling is true, I do believe in fate and destiny but I rather find out first hand of what my life is made of than by a fortune teller.

[Ecko]

wtf so are yall rich yet?? L_y.. LOADED!!! hook it up!!!

but yea.. the blind fortune tellers.. knows some serious shit..

ummmm yeah ... is she famous in the area? She sounds like the extreme version of our jamacain friend Cleo.

[nicole]

Not really. Just fun to listen to and take with grain of salt.

[Ecko]

lol i dunno about the spirits n all that.. but yea.. dont trust it a 100%..

[cyrus]

nah......just fun to listen....it wont do any harm on you

[THF20]

Yeah, I do believe it. But I am not sure would I want to pay the money for 1.

[master_g]

In the Bible there was a girl who had the ability to do fortune telling. its VERY real. jesus cast the demon/evil spirt out of her and she lost the ability to tell fortunes. its the spirit inside of the person who causes the person to be able to do it. most of the ones on tv and in a circus are fakes though.

silent_tearz witnessed first hand the manefestation of the evil spirit in the woman as it gave her info concerning his future.

[smallrinilady]

yea, i believe there are those who can tell fortune
but it's hard to know when you've landed on the real thing

but i dont believe someone should know there future

[softbaked007]

I'm half and half, the fortune tellers that I have meant are half true and half false they would make up stuff and it would be pretty accurate but other things are completely off. For the most part I feel like it is guesswork

[ab289]

i'll believe in fortune tellers when they tell me the next set of powerball lottery numbers.

[tdmt]

i don't believe in fortune telling. my grandma made me wait 4 hours on a sunday to get my fortune told. it was so stupid. my grandma believed what the teller said while i thought all of them are so not true about me

[Lilydream]

i stop believe in them the day they told me that i will die soon and won't have time to do what i want

[chi-bi-rain]

sometimes i do, sometiems dont

[maxxpayne]

NO!! not really

[chabunky2000]

Don't let fortune telling control your life. You are the one who had total control.

[tree]

I think it really depends on which ones u go to. there're so many out there and most of them probably are fakes? or are they just inexperienced? lol. But it's always nice to hear something about yourself i think and if believed it then probably it'll happen cos in ur mind u'll probably be linking things that happen to what was said to u?

[reno]

be selective, just beleive the stuff u want and ignore the rest
u'll feel alot better aftewards =)

its just like being superstitious

at the end of the day, i just believe u do wat u can, and its all dependent on how u go about doing ur stuff... yes, u do need to be given some chances, but thats just part of life =)

[rchok2]

no definitely noooooooo... i wouldn't let some bunch of lies control mylife

[sn1ff]

this is gay

[AC0110]

Please let the fortune tell be real...
I wish that they can tell me when I gonna die, I can't wait...

[tawthalin]

Usually I dont but when I am in love,I start believe in it and I am getting superstitious..I must confess that fortune telling can be true sometimes.

[AC0110]

^
I'll tell you a fortune...

You will go through happy times and sad times...
Times you have succeed and times you fail...
You will find a job sometime in life
You will post messages in "Popular Asian"

[doungtawan]

Sometime years ago one of my friends visit a fortune teller to find out how her future husband will be and he predicted that she will get marriage and have 2 children when she reaches 25. Now she is 26 and still single.

As for me, I don't really believe those fortune teller. I believe in my own faith and will like to see it happened naturally from day to day with wanting to know before hand either is god or bad.

Further more I believe in GOD

[nba2389]

Yes because we cannot affect anything but ourselves

[kapo123]

i duna.. yeh and no really...
but like for instance those fortune cookies.. yeh.. they aint true...

but poeple telling yu.. then yeh ...

[orange123]

not. absolutely.

[shy31279girl]

Nah -- I don't believe that.

[hardo azian]

no I don't believe in fortune telling.

[xiaojia]

i believe in it too.. but perhaps is not reli the future they tell.. its just cause and effect. And the reason y ppl are sceptical is because there are alot of cheats out there who claim to tell fortunes. And with all those horoscopes and zodiac stuff. Makes it all entertainment. I believe in such skills like palm and face reading, just that not all fortune tellers are real

[blackseed]

Definitely believe in such fortune-telling. Only you are able to get some real answers from well-known Fengshui Masters from own countries, not those commons at temple or streets. Pls forgive me if i have said something negative like that. The true fact is your whole life is pre-destined by God. No total control but it is up to you to master your own destiny. The other important factor is you must remind yourself to commit a good karma as you can. Then you will be blessed no matter how bad situations you have gone through. Okay if one doesn't believe in like that. To each to his own ok :D All right? Have a nice day!

[haun]

if you just go to anyone whom claimed to be a fortune teller then the chance of it is false is very high. my mum once said that there was a guy (in china) who can tell fortune at a certain time when a spirit went into his body. lots of people went to him and most of them said what he said is pretty true.

[crazyvoni]

its always fun to leave the possibility open i guess.

[semkei]

I dont believe in fortune but i went a one time there and they said things that comes out so i never goes there its really scarey just leave things ur dont know its much better

[happychic]

I dont really believe most fortune tellers although I do believe that there are some (but very few people) that really can predict the future

[Kher89]

Some fortune telling by calculating ur date of birth and stars.Very accurate.

[benjwang]

ur fortune is n ur hands. nothing is mapped for u

[schumisucks]

last time no, but now yes.

Happened after I met a fortune teller that could explained my past experience with above 90% correct.

[chic]

In Seoul there are all these little fortunetellers' tents on the streets and the last time I was there my sister dragged me into so many of them. I didn't get my fortune told but listened to them tell my sister her fortune. It was funny how they would say one thing and then look at my reaction to gauge whether they were getting warm. When I gave no reaction one of them took a stab in the dark and told her that she's going to become a sool jip ajumma, or a bar maid. -lol I think he just said that because she happened to be showing a lot of skin that day.

My boyfriend called a psychic hotline a few yrs ago and the so-called psychic told him that he's going to end up marrying someone who has freckles and is one-quarter Irish. -unsure

[wind2000]

^nop, i think its all BS, just ppl trying to scrape a few dollars. If they can really tell the future, y would they be sitting there waiting for customers rather than go buy a lottery ticket and become a millionaire?

[ch0ps7ix]

ehhhh dont really believe in it but i do so like 50/50.... dont really believe but if it is true then i dont wanna be a dumbass n regret it in the future.....better to just stay open-minded i guess

[hiake]

I believe in fortune telling to a certain extent. It is not advisible for the fortune teller to look too deep (thus they give you somewhat vague answers) as it may affect your life choices.

@wind: they cannot change the future, they can peek into it. And the price is much steeper than a few million dollars if they disregard their rules -- Chinese fortune tellers are known to believe that they need to compensate their "trespassing" by doing a lot of charity (donate most of what they earn so that to off set the punishment/karma). And I guess by the same logic if they seek financial gain with their vision, I have a feeling they may die prematurely... or their lives will be shortened A LOT...

Of course, it's all speculations. But I am kind of open to it, though I personally will not have my fortune told despite the temptation.

[chickenutbread]

i don't fortune telling is true. it's all by chance. i watched a show where this one guy who didn't believe in fortune telling nor have any "training" (if there is some sort of training for fortune telling?) pretended to be a fortune teller and said very vague things to people he didn't meet before such as "i see a white car and it seems ominous; be wary of a white car" and the person will respond.. "yes! i know exactly what you're talking about". i just cracked up because obviously, the guy was totally making up everything he said.

[hiake]

Well, I am not saying that fotune telling scams don't exist... It's just possible that the fortune could be told for real. But I guess I won't find out ever since I won't have my fortune told... The idea itself is scary if it have even a remote chance to be true and accurate.

[Taxloss]

I think some fortune tellers can be quite accurate but the majority are just cons. Some people are really sensitive and can read your facial expressions even when you think you're not giving anything away. (Derren Brown, a great illusionist from the UK for example)

But I admit I like to keep in mind the postive things a horoscope is predicting for me though, nothing wrong with that, whether you believe it or not. Or take it with a pinch of salt.

[MissCheekS]

I went to a temple yesterday just to have a look... and then I saw people "khaw tsiem"... u know people on their knees with something like a wooden cup with little sticks in it... so... i was curious and wanted to give it a shot too... so i did it.. and i kinda like regret doing it.. I asked koon yam about my love life... i didnt get very good news... something like If id get a bf now id be very very happy with him at first but no matter what we wont be able to last... u know thats freaky to hear... But then the guy asked me if i was seeing anyone... so i said no... and then he was like oh...well then im not sure... u should come back when u have a bf...so now my family just telling me to not take my next relationship too serious... what do u guys think?

[chickenutbread]

^i don't trust those fortune tellers. it seems your fortune teller wasn't even sure if what he said we correct, so i'd just dismiss it. this brings to mind the show "that's so raven". the only reason why what she sees in the future becomes true is because she makes it true.

[wind2000]

@ angie: I think the guy was just taking a chance, maybe he was trying to get you on the rebound? :P

Seriously tho, if one can really "peek" into the future, then one might as well change it no? I think this fortune telling is simply man-made fiction. There's always the power of suggestion that comes into play.

[Taxloss]

Haha, when I was in Kyoto we went to a temple as tourists, I wanted to 'kow chiem' for the fun because it was supposed to be a pretty accurate one. My friend and I both got the highest 'chiem' you can get (we checked what other people had and they really had more ordinary ones) and the monniks gave us a surprised look that 2 foreign tourists got these lucky 'chiems'.

Concretly it said that things like "from now on everything can only turn better in live...." >>>we showed this to our tourleader and we all laughed; that's because we were leaving Kyoto and hence we will stay at decent hotels again.

The 3 days in Kyoto we were staying at a really crappy hotel (from the 60's including the same age furniture, huge cracks in the walls, dirty toilets, no internetconnection and it looks like a typical depressing hotel where the lonely businessmen would commit suicide) because the usual hotel the travel organisation was booking was full and they had to seek an alternative one for us at last minute.

[schen]

I do believe in fortune telling. But I never have one before. Maybe I don't want to know what happen. I don't want to worry if it is not good.

[Arctic_fire]

I dont, but I think it's interesting to listen to them..

[nyckeion]

i always thought of one thing when it comes to fortune telling shouldnt it be different if you were located somewhere else like saying the day you were born and all but then if you were born somewhere else...isnt the stars in a different place?

[Candyshots]

Never tried... but it sounds creepy =P

[fearless_fx]

no, i dont believe it

[ug1yu]

Nope its all BS. Only fools believes in stuff like that. BTW did any of you read about one of the richest asian women left all her money to a fortune teller. I think its over 4Billion

[chickenutbread]

^ignorant people do foolish things.

[fortifiedfaith]

I don't believe in fortune telling, and even if it does exist, i think i would rather not know bout it. I prefer living my life the normal way and not have to be aware of what's going to happen. And if fortune telling can predict at what age and how I will die, I DEFINITELY would not want to know!

[shiyi]

nope...

[lizy1022]

i believe in fortune telling and i think it's a fun thing to do
