Experiences with Ouija Boards..?

Question

Has anyone had any good experiences or even bad ones that are true.

I don't use it, but my friend's do and she scares me to death.

Answer 1

Parker Brothers did not invent the Ouija Board. It had already been around for awhile when it was bought by Parker Brothers in 1966 and turned into a commercial success as a board game. Its beginnings lie in the distant past when an earlier version (a tripod device) was used in the ancient ways of Babylon and Greece to contact departed spirits. The tripod became the pointer now used with the Board, which is printed with the alphabet, the numbers 1-9, a 0 (zero), and the words 'Goodbye', 'Yes', and 'No'. There are other boards like this with different names, but with the same history and purpose. The modern version of this game was developed by a man named Planchette, a spiritualist (someone who contacts the dead as part of their religion). The Board was further transformed around the turn of the century under the direction and ownership of two men, Elijah J. Bond and William Fuld. Fuld’s name can be seen on the Ouija Board today. The name Ouija is a combination of the French and German words for 'yes': Oui and Ja. According to Bond and Fuld, the Board suggested its own name. The primary purpose of the board is and always has been to contact disembodied spirits. Contacting the dead is called necromancy, and contacting spirits is spiritism, both strongly condemned by God (Deut. 18:9-12; Lev. 19:31, 20:6; I Sam 28, II Kings 21:6; Is. 8:19, 19:3-4). The Board’s translated name, 'yes, yes', is an ingenious and subtle way to invite spirit contact. Dead people cannot hang around after death; you cannot communicate with a dead person. The practices and techniques of contacting the dead and contacting spirits are used widely in the occult. Although the pointer is often moved intentionally or subconsciously by the players, you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position when using the Board. By 'playing' this 'game', you are showing an interest in spirit contact. If contact is made, it is demons (evil spirits, fallen angels), not the dead, who are responding. If Satan can disguise himself as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), then it is not improbable that fallen angels can disguise themselves as the dead. The Ouija Board is not harmless just because it is marketed as a game. Satan, the master of deception and seduction, is good at twisting the truth into lies (Gen. 3:1-6; Jn. 8:44). Satan likes disguises and his lies are often disguised as games. The next time you are tempted to play the Ouija Board as a game, look beyond its disguise and see it for what it really is. Think about this: Just what or who are you trying to contact? God tells us to seek Him instead of the dead (Is. 8:19), and Christ "lives forever to plead with God" on behalf of those who believe Him (Heb. 7:25b). Who wants the Ouija Board when you can know the One Who has "complete authority in heaven and on earth!" (Matt.28:18). If you are wondering about Christ, think on His words in John 5:23b-24, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father , who sent him. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

Answer 2

First of, thank you for actually spelling it CORRECTLY, unlike 99% of other people I've seen asking about it for any reason.

I've personally had mixed experiences -- good, bad, indifferent... It all depends how well the person knows how to actually use it, and not just 'play' with it, as well as what energies can manifest. I wouldn't recommend doing anything unless you fully research it. Your friend should do the same. If she scares you with it, then she's more just 'playing' with it than using it. At least, that's what I might understand since you haven't given any details...

Answer 3

I've had my Quija board since I was about 10. I'm 36 now, and nothing bad has ever happened. I use to play with my Christian neighbor because I knew I could believe her if she said she wasn't moving it(she would never lie). I knew I wasn't moving it either, but it would move. It's now in my garage because for some reason, I am afraid to throw it away. I'm even more nervous to play with it now then when i was a child.

Answer 4

Bad stuff can happen when people use Ouija boards. Not a good thing.

Answer 6

Stay away from it, if you are lucky you will get a Benin spirit if not you may get a demon.
My short experiment with it was enough to teach me what it can do.

Answer 7

I used it in the past but would not use it again. I don't want to risk bringing a bad element into the house.

If I were at someone else's house that would be a different story..................
