Here is my attempt at a transcript for the JE smeinar I attended two years back in Akron. Originally posted at Tvtalkshows.com

Akron Transcript The show commences at 6:30 and doors are set to open at 5:00. We arrive at 5:00 after a little beer and wing action at a local pub. Unfortunately a long line has formed and it stretches 1.5 blocks in length. We queue up in line and wait in a light rain.

Counting the people passing by me in line I count 90 people. Of them only 12 are male so my unscientific survey shows the audience of JE to be 13% male, 87% female. Ages are all over the place.

Eventually we get into a large conference room that by law seats a maximum of 3000. The event is sold out so this probably reflects the audience size. A few employees (young) wandered amongst the audience. Later their role seems to be to help people find seats. On two large screens, they start showing CO excerpts and these are edited versions of CO showing the big hits.

The show started promptly at 6:30. The screens behind JE show him so we can all see him well. JE starts by talking a bit. He talks about “visits” he receives from spirits. He reiterates we are all mediums. He doesn’t like the “new agey” mediums. His purpose is to show people the other side, not to talk about crystals or so forth.

He says he used to concentrate on predicting the future before 1987. He can still do it but chooses not to.

Languages are no problem but unique names can be. He says he can get unique names in English.

Spirits are excited about giving closure, healing. Can be insistent if not validated. JE does not like to waste time with cynics. Would rather use that time to find someone interested in validation.

He says he will not ever be off by initials or sounds. Names possibly.

From here he went into the Q and A portion of the show.
Note that my transcript is not verbatim. IT gets the gist of what was said. Trying to do it verbatim would require a tape recorder cause events move so quickly.

Q: Can you turn them off?
A: Yes

Q: Child dies 40 years ago, are they still a child?
A: It depends

JE then goes into a reading of the lady asking the question

Note that my transcript is not verbatim. IT gets the gist of what was said. Trying to do it verbatim would require a tape recorder cause events move so quickly.
So then, this is NOT a transcript. Nor is it of any use to anyone. Skeptics can't refer to it for debunking purposes, and believers can't refer to it for proof. Why are you wasting server space with this "gist"?
 
Thank you, Lurker. I find your notes very interesting. How exact would you say your notes were?
I asked Instig8r on another thread these questions about the seminar she went to, might as well ask you as well :)

-of the seminar readindgs, how many were televised for CO
-how extensive was the editing?
-how did the seminar readings compare to LKL or CO? What were they closer to?
-were you allowed to bring an audio recorder in?

-how extensive was the editing?
-how did the seminar readings compare to LKL or CO? What were they closer to?
-were you allowed to bring an audio recorder in?

I ouwld say that it gets the "gist" across 95% of the time. I shortened the verbage of most sentences but got what the question and answers were to most questions. Where I was in doubt I mention that fact.

None of the readings were televised. I wish that were not so as it would have been intersting to see if there were any discrepancies.

In trying to compare to LKL or CO I would say my experience lay somewhere in between. Better than what I have seen on LKL but far worse than CO.

We were not allowed to bring a tape recorder in but I would council anyone to ignore that stipulation and bring one in anyway. They don't search you. I do write notes very fast though.

On the tvtalkshows board, another poster wrote up the reading that she got personally, which was from the Akron seminar. Sometimes the order of the guesses was slightly different to Lurker's, but apart from that the two tallied pretty well. And this other sitter wasn't taking notes. I think we can take these with a fair degree of confidence.
 
Well, this transcript is purely anecdotal. Nice effort, but unusable.

Of course. However, if the believers want to refer to their own transcripts, they should also acknowledge this.

But hey...where are those believers???? :eek:

Gone, the second contrary data shows up.
 
Lurker,

Interesting post. Ok, so it's not a 100% guaranteed verbatim account, but then neither is the selectively edited Crossing Over which people seem happy to debate ad infinitum.

One thing that struck me. You said the seminar was about two years ago. Did it take place after September 11 2001? The reason I ask is that you mention this...


JE: No, I’m getting a Sept 11 sort of feeling. As if person is alone now and rest of family gone.

L28: Sept 11 is my anniversary. Lost two people over time.


If this reading took place after 9/11 then JE has just sunk even lower in my estimation.

Agreed. but so are the LKL transcripts. They can have errors in them as well since they are transcribed imperfectly, right?

Fear not all...

...that most wonderful guy "JE" will make yet another appearance on Larry King - tonight at 9:00pm EST - and there will be a transcript of that. Oh my!

I for one can't wait to see the amazing hits he comes up with - among all the questions he asks - and the dozens and dozens of missess. :rolleyes:

Barkhorn.
