Just Back from Providence

[vivi56]

I just arrived home from Providence after a slight problem of car trouble. Driving up from New Jersey this morning at 5:30 am it was raining and foggy so I put on my lights. When we arrived at the convention center I was so anxious to go on line I completely forgot to shut my lights and when we came out at 3 my battery was gone. Two hours for AAA to come but then we were back on the road at 5 and I just got in.

This seminar was great. There were about 2400 people however the room was set up and there were two large screens to see John whenever he was out of sight. The readings were very accurate and he moved about the room.
First before he started his readings he spoke about a very important issue. John wants everyone connected with him to help him eradicate all the scalpers ,mainly on E Bay. He seemed quite disturbed and pleading with us if anyone bought tickets other than through TELECHARGE to let his assistants know the name of the individuals whether scalpers or Ebay. We should all try to help him.He said it isn't fair to gieving people to be charged such large amounts of money for his seminars.
Readings:
He did a lot of readings and they were all on the mark. One reading was for a woman who had lost sister and was told to accept the new wife her brother in l law had married. John really told her a lot about her sister and then said she should try to be kind to the new wife. His words were very comforting.
I think his readings from children who have passed are extra sad. There was a little girl who was three that had died of cancer and he said to her mother she keeps mentioning ice cream. The mother said that in Mystic Conn. there is an ice cream parlor and there is a picture on the wall of a little girl eating ice cream that is a double for her daughter. It was an emotional reading and so true. The little girl was telling John about her arm and her mother said that is where the cancer was first discovered.
As usual some of the readings contained humor such as the one from a woman's aunt who told John about all the sex going on in the nursing home before she crossed over.
Next to me was seated a young couple who had lost their 4 year old son a year ago tomorrow. I felt quite sad for them since they were holding his Red Sox hat and a picture. Although they weren't read she told me that she felt a lot of comfort today.
John has such a warm way of saying such comforting words.
I truly enjoyed this seminar and would like to hear from others who attended.

Vivi, glad you're back safe and sound after your big delay!

Thanks so much for the seminar "report" -- sounds like another wonderful experience for those in attendance.

Hi Vivi,
Thanks so much for sharing, it's like we were there with you, because to me, it seems so close to us.

Hi Viv

So glad you got home o.k. Really a long day but I bet you weren't too tired - too much energy left after the seminar. We (my son, daughter and I) felt that way on our 1-1/2 hour drive. We were wide awake and jabbered the whole time back...

I was very interested in JE's comment about E-Bay scalpers. That is so good that he understands and wants no one to pay more than the listed price from TELECHARGE. Some people's kids - 'a....

I love reading about the seminars. Thanks for thinking us and if you remember any more we will be waiting to hear from you.

Take good care,

Irishrose

Hi, Viv!

Sorry to hear you had car trouble!

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the seminar! :)

Thanks for the report! :cuser: Since John hasn't been in this area in a few years, I'm always happy to hear about the seminars other places!

I just thought I would add to my experience at Providence .After having driven 350 miles to Providence and back yesterday in addition to car trouble I was really tired however it was worth it.
I just wanted to tell everyone here that this was the 8th time I have seen John since March of 2001. I was twice in the gallery in March and April 2001,Journey of the Soul seminar April 2001, Baltimore June 2001, Albany March 2002, Westbury{twice}2002, and yesterday at Providence. I have never been read however truly believe one day I will be read. I get signs all the time from my mother who crossed in 1989 but am still hoping for that one reading. Many of my friends want to know why I still keep going to the seminars and I reply by telling them that although I haven't been read the feeling of peace and comfort are all around me at the seminars and also people who believe the same way I do. Hope you didn't mind reading this but I just wanted people to know you don't have to be read to be a true follower of John.
Another reading yesterday was for a woman who had a relative that died from leukemia about 20 years ago. John kept questioning her for close to 10 minutes until she finally remembered that a relative had died at a young age of leukemia 20 years ago. He just didn't give up and although she kept saying she didn't know what he was talking about she finally remembered.
There were two mediums sitting in front and next to me. One of them was read and it was about her father and uncle being shot during the war. It was interesting to see a medium being read. I was talking before the seminar and that is how I found out they were mediums. They brought about 10 people with them.
As I remember more details I will post them. Glad to see you are enjoying my recollection of the seminar.
Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day.

Oh Viv so sorry we didn't meet up. We definately could of given you a jump on your car so you wouldn't of had to wait so long.

The seminar was great just like Viv described. I felt bad for the lady that couldn't validate the leukemia story because John went right up to the section (it was in the back) and we all know how he is "like a dog with a bone" when he needs something validated.

One of John's stories at the beginning was about his little son. He said him and Sandra, his son and some other people were on vacation down on an island, I think. They were all going out to dinner but right before his son fell asleep so John told everyone else to go and he would stay with the baby (I think he wanted some alone time also with his son).

He said he was holding his son out in the backyard and all of a sudden he felt like he wasn't alone--although he knew he was. He said the hairs on the back of his neck stood up and he looked around but didn't see anyone. He had his son over his shoulder and he said all of a sudden his son started giggling, really hard. Now John made a point of saying it is hard to get him to laugh that hard. John again looked around but whoever it was wasn't connecting with him, only his son. Then he said all of sudden his son stopped giggling and just looked at John as if to say "Yeah I can see them" or something like that.

John says he ran into the house and slammed the back door--like that would do any good he joked. Then when Sandra came back he says to her "Do you know what YOUR son did while you were gone?" It was pretty comical.

It was a great seminar.

:D :lwink: :daisy: i cant wait!! hearing john talk about his son must have been so endearing and positive! i dont know much what to expect from the seminar, i have read all the info on here and i reallly thank you all for your time,diligence and honesty. i know it must take a lot of time and sweat to manage this site, but i have to tell you; it has changed my life. i truly was beginning to think that i was the only one who GOT IT...i dont mean that in an egotistical way. on the contrary , i knew this was true. have always known it. just couldnt ( or didnt for a reason , until now ! ) find any others who also KNOW it.


how long was your seminar? was it what you thought it would be?

sorry to be so long winded !!

God Bless

[TeenaSee]

Thanks Kathy! I loved the baby story! :baby: That is too cool. :cool: Maybe "someone" was telling him a medium joke... :laff:

[vivi56]

Samantha,
Just thought I would let you know a few hints about the seminar.
First thing to remember, if it is General Admission which is not a definite seat you must get there early. For instance, the Providence seminar was to begin at 12 and go until 2:30, we arrived at 8:45 in the morning yesterday and there were at least 150 people already on line.We were lucky to get a good spot on line and the doors opened at 11 however by then the line was unbelievable. In a sense it doesn't matter where you sit however if you want to sit close you must be there early.
You should have a wonderful experience.

:daisy: :daisy: Viv:daisy:

[Jude]

Samantha, I know you have said that you're unable to get to the seminar early, but remember that it's only necessary to get there early if you want a good view of the "stage" area, or wherever it is the JE will be standing. It makes no difference where you're sitting as far as a reading is concerned.

More and more of the venues are using the large screens, which will enable you to see both JE and the person being read, no matter where you're sitting. Hopefully, there will be the same setup in Columbus. The chances of not being able to hear are pretty slim, as there are microphones and speakers everywhere!

Try to relax and prepare yourself this week by familiarizing yourself with names and dates, and by meditating and talking to your loved ones.

Have faith in the process. Everything will work out as it should!

Hi Samantha,
I think if you were to meet someone from the boards there, you might want to email them privately to see if you can come up with something original to wear, bring, etc..to separate the groups that will be there (I hope I explained that right), not to confuse you with others, you know? or maybe give them a call beforehand, to plan ahead...just a few thoughts.

Blessings,
~Nicole

[vivi56]

Samantha It is good idea to see if someone from the board is going and then email them privately.
The first seminars I went to, people from the board had shirts that said different things that referred to John such as appreciation etc. and a pink rose. When I saw these people I immediately went over to speak with them before the seminar and it was funny because we had written on this board and we were able to meet in person. Recently however in Providence in particular I mentioned this board to people on line and also people who were sitting near me and they didn't know anything about it. This surprised me .It is a good idea then to see who is going and email them and agree to meet them. Remember that you should be careful and meet in a safe place such as the venue before the seminar where there would be a lot of people since you really don't know who you are speaking to.
Remember also that the location is no indication of whether you will get read in fact in Providence most of his readings were on the sides of the audience very very far from the front where he was standing and he was constantly moving toward each side.
Have a great time and be sure to post you experience.

..Was the woman heavy set, with short, dark hair? Man have a receding hairline? I think you were siting next to my brother and sister-in-law! There son's name was Stephen?

[vivi56]

Yes, the description sounds exact. The girl's name was Kelly. They were such a nice couple, I really felt sad for them. What a coincidence, I did give them the addresss of this board and told them they could find out more about John Edward and information concerning seminars.
:daisy: :daisy: Viv:daisy: :daisy:

[LiliC]

Guy's name was Win. That's them. Small world huh? Among 2400 people. I asked them about the Red Sox cap the other day and they confirmed it was them.

L

p.s. - I'm a little embarrassed about my description of them if they come to the board. I'm gonna get myself into trouble!!:P

[Jude]

Lili, that's where the little "edit" button comes in handy! :lwink:

[vivi56]

Lili,
If you are embarrassed to write personal things such as descriptions of people you can always email a reply to the person you want to answer unless you don't want your email address printed.
Getting back to the co incidence with your brother, did he tell you that I live in the next town in New Jersey that Kelly grew up in and her family still lives in. This was amazing that with 2400 people at the seminar we would sit next to each other.
It was good to meet them and my daughter enjoyed talking to Kelly and her husband.
This affirms my belief that everything happens as it should and it is comforting to know that you meet such wonderful people at these seminars.:
:daisy: :daisy: Viv:daisy: :daisy:

[LiliC]

Yes, he mentioned it. Really is a small world! And as for the embarrassment, I'm sure he'll understand and get a chuckle out of it.

;)

they know I love them.

They are both wonderful people who have gone (are going through) perhaps the hardest thing in the world. The sudden death of a child. I have to commend both of them for their strength. So many people simply "shut down" when someone close to them dies. These two have not been afraid to show their grief, and in so doing have gratefully accepted the love and support of those around them. I think this has been opening them both up in unexpected ways.

Take care, and tell them I say HI if you run into them in NJ.
I think they're there this weekend actually.

Aloha,
Lili

Providence sounds like a great seminar. Vivi and Lili that was no COINCIDENCE that she sat next to your family. It was planned that way, by your crossed over families. Expect the unexpected is my rule for going to seminars and that there are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason.
I recall right before I went to the Omaha seminar, I talked with a channeled entity named Charles.(A friend of mine channels him.) He told me to remember that it is not just about the readings but about what happens around you (like in the audience) at the seminars. I believe he told me that was the part that was most important before Omaha. I met some very special friends in Omaha, in the audience and in line, so Charles was soooo right.

Love, light and peace,
POOH

So true Pooh....SO true... :lwink:
