Every Exorcist who has ever published has said that these boards communicate with the demonic. It does not matter if that is your intention. Using one of these boards is absolutely one of the most dangerous things you could ever do. You imperil your mortal body, and your eternal soul.

You are putting not only yourself in danger, but those around you, by using this demonic tool.
 
Remember, satans greatest trick was to convince so many he does not even exist.

I think a lot of people forget this fact or brush it off as a scare tactic. 😦
 
When reading thru this thread, I started thinking about the ‘Magic Answering 8 Ball’ I used to have. Except for the creepy artwork on the Ouija, they were used in similar ways. The favorite questions concerned things like who would marry who, school grades, anything that would concern people my age at the time (teens or slightly younger). I threw it away when I threw away the desk it was kept in; in short, I had lost interest.

I never owned a Ouija board, but some friends did. Same kinds of questions
One friend asked the name of the next young man who would ask her out. It was wrong.

It was well after these occurrences that I started hearing about evil being attached to Ouija. I say, it’s just wrong to try and divine the future, and trying to contact entities we are forbidden to, like the dead or demons. Displaying a board that isn’t used may be harmless…or, it may arouse memories or curiosity in other people, who would not have seen it otherwise. But, it is also wrong to foster ignorance, so, an Ouija in a museum would be acceptable.

And, how could the use of anything to divine could end up in public media? It could become public that an Ouija board was used in looking for missing persons or objects. So-called psychics are often involved, contacted by the relatives or owners, or even police or detectives.

I don’t see anything in a Ouija board itself. But, it is made for divination, and that is always wrong. Better safe than sorry!
 
You are inviting a demon in by using an Ouija board - they say a demon has to be invited - many of the churches catholic exorcists have mentioned this - why would you chance it? Trying to contact the dead is fun?

As to Barnes and Noble, they will sell Satanic and blasphemous books. Why not toys? I am not suggesting that B&N is wrong in selling these things. i just will not buy them or play with them. Although I am more inclined to read Satanic books than to touch a ouija board!

What Satanic and blasphemous books do they sell?

In other words, I could buy the one at B-N and hang it on my wall. No harm, no foul. It could be a conversation piece. I could tell people I bought it from an old soothsayer in a hidden alley of New Orleans who told me it was over 200 years old.

Then you would be lying, because she told me she sold me her last one!! :mad::mad::mad:

Who? Who says that a “demon has to be invited?” And don’t just say “The Church” or “exorcists.” If a Ouija board is a doorway to the depths of hell, then we should all be drowning in demons with the tens of thousands, if not millions, of Ouija boards sold throughout the century.

Really? By using something that originated as a parlor amusement that was then seized upon by the gullible when spiritualism became all the rage? Maybe I can miss work tomorrow if I tell them that I asked the Magic 8 Ball whether or not I should wear a tie, and was then seized by a demon who wanted me to fall behind in my work!:eek:

Finally we asked it who it was and I think it gave us a name (not sure). We asked where it was – “in the ground.” We asked how it had died – “by hanging.” For what, “horse theft.”

Then it went off the board and wouldn’t communicate with us.

This is real and really scary stuff. Not a kid’s game.

Yeah…and I was once buzzed by a UFO while watching Bigfoot run across the lawn.

I imagine the reason there isn’t an epidemic of demonic possession in the news is because 99% of people are just messing about. A bit like when teenagers play Bloody Mary in front of the mirror which I have done without anything happening.

A Ouija board either is or isn’t a doorway into the netherworld. How can 99% of people “just messing about” with it be free from harm but others supposedly suffer the tortures of the damned?

The world **is **awash in demons, but to be messed with by them, we have to make way for them.

Better?

The priest who condemned the Ouija board was the top exorcist in the world. You can look up Father Gabriele Amorth on a link that makes you feel more comfortable. 🙂

Yes, Father Amorth has made many claims that don’t seem to stand to reason. One was that he performed over 70,000 exorcisms. In order to do that, he would have had to perform one a day for 196 years. Of course, 2 a day would have only required 98 years, so maybe there is something to it after all. Oh, and he also said that Harry Potter and yoga are both satanic. :rolleyes:

Yeah, well, like I said in my first post you can ridicule, roll your eyes and make fun of what I say because I don’t care, but doing it to other posters and a priest is just plain rude and disrespectful.

I’m done. Good day.

Pointing out outlandish things that a supposed expert in the field has said publicly is enough to run you off? You don’t seem to be very strong in your position.
 
So far the only answer is a circular “it’s bad because it is.”

Indeed, it is much like the supposed Vision of Pope Leo. There is no substance in its foundation, it could not/can not be confirmed, yet it has taken a hold that can not be loosened.

As far as the “first-hand accounts” with a Quija, I think we all know that people can very easily convince themselves of things that they wish to believe. A person in an old, creepy house in the dark of night will be sure that they felt the chilling presence of a ghost in their midst. Lurkers in a cemetery at midnight will be certain that they experienced something. A person who had a loved one die recently can be certain that a pretty bird that landed on the window sill is a messenger from the dearly departed. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it.
