Russian Roulette would actually be safer. It might cause more damage physically, but using an ouija board is tangling with forces more dangerous than any weapon or human army.
 
Magic_Stick,

Get your hind-den to confession. You have offended God and owe Him this. You have no idea the spiritual harm you have done to yourself. Go, go right now. :tsktsk:

Becky,
Thanks for the information about the OLSM. I’m going over there now to check it out further. If John Paul ll blessed 'em and the church isn’t condemning it, it’s worth a look.
God bless.
 
Okay, these things are really bad … I have several stories (because God knows I need to be told things about eight times before I get the message), but here’s the scariest:
When I was in college, some friends and I decided to play around with a ouija board. We went through each of us, one by one, and asked if we would graduate from the honors college (a separate part of the university in which we were all enrolled). For most of us it said yes.
When we got around to my friend X, the board said he wouldn’t graduate from the honors college. We asked if he would graduate, period, and it said no. We asked for every reason under the sun -will he fail? drop out? etc.? No to all of them.
We were weirded out and put the board away. Six months later, X went into a coma and died. I don’t think Satan, like, killed him, but the prediction still scares me.
 
I dont have any real scary stories, and Im not psycic or anything but something really makes me feel uneasy about them. I get chills just thinking about them now. No other object affects me this way. So I stay away from them.
 
**I think enough has been shared about this now, so I am closing this thread. Thank you all for participating.

I leave you with this:**

"Q: A friend of mine has used a Ouija board on several occasions. I have advised him against using it, but he insists it is used just for fun and that it is harmless. Is this true?

A: The answer is an emphatic “No”! The Ouija board is far from harmless, as it is a form of divination (seeking information from supernatural sources). The fact of the matter is, the Ouija board really does work, and the only “spirits” that will be contacted through it are evil ones.

It’s true that many people view the Ouija board as harmless. They often claim, “Oh, I don’t believe in it,” or something to this effect. However, a disbelief in something does not necessarily mean that something isn’t real. The Ouija board has an objective reality that exists apart from a person’s perception of it. In other words, it’s real even if you don’t believe in it. And we know this because God himself tells us so.

The Lord repeatedly condemns any and all occultic practices, including divination. While many Bible passages could be cited, the following one is typical of his view of occultic practices: “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord” (Deut. 18:10–12, NIV).

On the experiential side of the issue, we have the testimony of the Church’s exorcists. Their experience shows that Ouija boards are far from harmless. Some investigating supernatural phenomena from a Catholic perspective have gone so far as to say that 90 percent of their very worst cases involving demonic activity have been linked to the use of the Ouija board.

Simply put, nothing positive can ever come from the use of the Ouija board, and God warns us against such things for our own spiritual safety." – Joel S. Peters
