In the latest round of lawsuits around the Tim Ballard mess, the lawsuit claims that Tim Ballard's staff psychic also was employed by M. Russel Ballard as his personal psychic.

It will be interesting if they can present any actual evidence of this or if it is all just hearsay.

Additionally, the amendments to the lawsuit claim that President Ballard used the same psychic as Tim Ballard — Janet Russon, who is also listed as a defendant — to advise him on how to proceed “in all aspects” of his life.

“Some witnesses have claimed that Janet Russon was President Ballard’s personal psychic, and that President Ballard vouched for her psychic powers,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit also says another man received visions of Tim Ballard and shared those visions with President Ballard.

Lol. I really hope they have evidence.

I know a Mormon psychic - people pay her for prayers, essential oils, rocks, chacra? all kinds of new age posters, herbs, etc. Energy work etc?


Chi / Taoist - some of that energy stuff is kind of interesting....

Somehow it is creepy from someone who is Mormon though

We have Mormon friends here who have a Mormon "seeing holistic healer" who, over the phone, diagnosed the herbal deficiency that was causing the wife's hip problem from 110 miles away. "She's amazing", said the wife.

8 months later she finally went in and had her arthritic hip replaced.....
She's much better now.

Mormons just believe, so what's wrong with having a personal psychic?

His gift of discernment led him to accept Janet Russon, not Russel Nelson, as a more reliable source of revelation for his own life. Gotta love it.

I'm seeing more of this lately. Our RS president has an "energy healer." I'm wondering when it will appear on the church's radar as a problem equal to drinking green tea or gardening in yoga pants, and they will try to crack down on it. The fact that it seems to appeal more to women should send up all kinds of red flags for them. Women are taking some control of their lives by trying to find something that works for them better than the lame-ass priesthood of their husbands. It seems wacky and woo to many of us, but it works just as well as priesthood magic. Probably better overall, because some of these practitioners actually have some medical knowledge.

You know, I should have asked them if a priesthood blessing had been attempted, but Mrs. Palerider is kicking me under the table enough as it is when I question some lds doctrine and practices when we all go to dinner.
I probably would have gotten the "faith NOT to be healed" speech. Now THAT'S some powerful priesthood.

My MIL was into some of the psychic stuff and saw no conflict with her Mormon beliefs. But she was also into NDE and seeing her dead relatives and other kinds of woo woo. And the more you know about Joseph Smith and the crazy stuff he was into, it is not so far fetched to understand Mormons into psychic stuff.
