Toys R Us is selling Ouija boards, promoting them as acceptable for children as young as eight years old.
The pink edition of the Ouija board is listed for girls eight-years-old and up while the regular version is designated for all children eight and up. Stephen Phelan, communications manager of Human Life International, checked the website and reports that the findings are disturbing.
"It is just troubling that these things are treated as casually as any other game, like Monopoly or anything else on this Toys R Us site -- and I think it's something Christians should be aware of and really not support," he states.
He further believes that Christians have an obligation to fight against it. "If you go to the comments section on the Toys R Us [web]site, you'll read comments from people who talk about being obsessed with it, talk about missing school for it, talk about the spirits they spoke to on the other side and how creepy it was," Phelan describes.
The communications manager adds that the primary groups that deny the evils of the Ouija board are the ones who deny the spirit world entirely. He goes on to say Christians have a biblical mandate.
"We're supposed to deal with the truth only," he notes. "We're supposed to have nothing to do with dark spirits. We're not supposed to dabble in anything that would compromise our souls, and that's exactly what this does."
The manufacturer of the product is Hasbro.
It’s as valid a science as that behind man-made global warming.
I wont let one in my house. My wife thinks I am crazy. She says that anything mass produced by Milton Bradley can be that demonic. Whereas i said, my brother used to work for MB. They certainly CAN be demonic.
I have played with the Ouija Board and it is very real and I think, Satanic.
I've never had a problem with a ouija board. But I did once own a Mr. Potato head that told me to kill my family & burn the house down.

I absolutely agree. Do not open a doorway into your soul.
Getting rid of the Ouija board led to me sleeping easy.

Monopoly is harmless? Monopoly? Have you read the rules to Monopoly?
THE BANK...The Bank "never goes broke." If the Bank runs out of money, the Banker may issue as much as needed by writing on any ordinary paper.
Did Ben Bernanke create this game?
we’d play Ouija board all the time when I was a kid. We also stared into a light bulb waiting for some girls dead uncle to give us a sign.
And Bloody Mary in the mirror! Nothing ever happend except we were so scared we could not sleep that night.
So... to me it is just a toy.
My grandparents got me one for Christmas when I was eleven. Creeped me out. Never opened the damned thing. When I got married, my wife and I took it out to a rural area and burned it. I wasn’t prepared for it to throw off voluminous bright green flames.
I have yet to be possessed by the Devil. Nor can I find that ring I lost. Nor can I figure out tomorrows lotto numbers.
Sometimes, a board is just a board. Everything else is in your head.
In my youth, Satan proved to me and my brother (now a Lutheran minister)that the power behind the Quija board is the devil.
It is NOT a toy and I won’t go into further detail on this thread.
The Ouija board is not a game, it is a tool used by Satan to posses children and others who use it. I used it as a teen and it was very real and scary. The device you put your fingers on moved on it’s own. I’ve never touched one since.
