yeah i heard about the law in the spiritualism churches saying they cannot market it as psychic and have to use entertainment instead.

yes and they get tolerated as this because they provide work for middle class theatre luvvie types (when this is thin on the ground) and make money off the mainstream but more credulous working classes whlst not encouraging noise/hedonism (you don’t get for instance someones son who OD’d sending a message back from the afterlife that we should all party in his memory)… a bit like old style faith groups used to do when they had more power (to be fair they are now doing more useful stuff).

I am not even completely sceptical/cynical about the wider concepts of spiritualism (hence why I was even considering going to the new age meeting) but have little time for these sorts of displays..
