Oh brother.
It's a trap into which I naively fell many years ago and I will NEVER FORGET what that "toy" conjured up. Don't believe me ... check out the responses at the above link. For the unbelievers, this man made object is a tunnel that leads to a dark world.
Is that you, Cap’n Howdy?
Perhaps it’s time to up date the “Exorcist”
They’ve always sold it, right with the Monopoly and Life games, ever since I was a little kid.
(Watch the Exorcist.)
Have you ever ‘tried’ the board?
... what is new is that it now looks like a feminine hygeine product.
Satan’s Chat Room.
I recall using the board when I was 12 to 14 with my parents, relatives, etc. It was bizarre how it could answer questions and how you could never pin down how it was moving on the board and anwering questions with complicated answers.
When you tried to trip it up, I remember the scroller would just start doing circles faster and faster until it literally moved off the board.
Weird.
Wow! Interesting reading the comments on the link. Thanks!
It is a toy,It’s an old magic trick,use to be into magic when I was a kid.
Who is more clueless, the people who believe a Ouija board works or the people who are afraid of it?
I also have experience with those things. We were scientific with our experiments; and, verified that these things are not baseless. I do indead classify them as dangerous because they clearly open one up to spritual harm.
For you skeptic readers, one of the experiments was conducted as follows: Two groups of people separated by hundreds of miles were able to send messages through this medium. Message text was double blind and flawlessly delivered. Cell phones and even pagers had not been invented. There was no communication between these groups except the Ouija Boards. Validation occured when the paper with the transcribed message was returned to the parent group.
“Who is more clueless, the people who believe a Ouija board works or the people who are afraid of it?”
You took the words right out of my mouth. heh heh
I did once but nothing happened. So I never tried it again.
I'd say the people who never experimented with those things. My experience with them was carefully contrived and yielded verifyable results.
