Ouija boards?

Question

I dont get em. ppl say they r evil but y? oh and how do they work? wot do u hav 2 do? Wer can u get them from? I ask 2 many questions... :) lol

Answer 1

People move this pointer around after a question is asked and try to pull it so it spells out the answer they want. You want one?? Have you tried yard sales or goodwill?

Answer 2

Stay away from them, they ruined my life. The reason that they are evil is because it is satan's way of leading people to do his bidding. At first, the game will seem like it's giving you good advice, helpful, etc. but then, it becomes really bad.

It's in the Bible that God wants people to talk to him, to ask him for advice, and asking the dead for advice is a horrible sin.

As I said, stay away from them. Disregard them. It's addictive, once you start you won't stop. The same with cigarettes, you think, "Oh I'll try once, and then I'll stop."

Impossible.

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 4

Okay, I'm practically a Ouija expert (lol) so I'll help you out.

Some people think that Ouija boards are evil because they've had bad experiences with them. There are precautions you can take to increase the chances of a better experience. But first, you need to know how they work!

Ouija boards act as a medium between spirits and people like you and me. This is how a basic Ouija routine goes:

~The board is set out and two or more people sit around it. (very important, if you've never Ouija'd before, DO NOT DO IT ALONE)

~The players place their fingertips on the pointer VERY LIGHTLY.

~The players now ask a question. (I recommend starting with "Is there a spirit on the board?" . The second question you should ask is "Can we ask you a few questions?")

~After you ask, the pointer will start to move. Be patient, it may move slowly. You can ask the spirit to make a circle around the board to build up energy. (VERY IMPORTANT: NEVER TALK WHEN THE POINTER IS MOVING. SPIRITS ARE ANGERED AND OFFENDED EASILY.)

~You will get a response in letters, numbers, or words printed on the board.

~When done, say goodbye to the spirit and let the spirit move the pointer to where it says "goodbye" on the board.

That's yer Ouija session right there. That's all it is.

Now, precautions to take. Not all spirits are good, you must remember, so do this before playing.

~Pray to your God

~Sprinkle sea salt on the board and pointer

~Light white candles and put one to the left of the board and one to the right.

~Make sure there are no sharp objects in the room or that they are at least out of reach (they attract bad spirits)

You can also do other things to attract spirits. You can...

~Lay out flowers.

~Play soft, calm music quietly.

~Play when it's cloudy (not stormy) and a few days before or after a lunar/solar eclipse (not on the day)

Now, where to find a Ouija board.

They can be found in toy stores and in sometimes in antique shops. You can also make your own board.

~To make a board you first need a smooth surface for your board. (wood, cardboard, plain paper, etc).

~Put the letters A-Z on it (you can write them, paint them, whatever) Make sure they are well spaced. You will also need  numbers 0-9, the words YES, NO, and GOODBYE.

~Now for your pointer (planchette). This also needs to  be made of a smooth surface and it must be light-weight too.  *******If you don't feel like making one, you can use anything see-through like a glass, shot-glass, metal ring/washer, etc******  

ONLY READ ON IF YOU ARE MAKING THE PLANCHETTE

~Cut your planchette to the shape you want it. Make sure it's at least 1.5"x1.5"

~Cut a hole in it, about the size of your letters.

~Now you can leave the hole empty or put glass or clear plastic over it.
