Uh-huh. ;)

yes...things like ouija boards are doors to worse things
Like weed, right?

when you mess around with things like ouija boards your messing with the devil, witchcraft....
Cause, you know, if I were the devil, I'd give a crap about some junior high kids with a peice of cardboard with the alphabet printed on it.

al that, and its a door that can lead to worse things. lots of people think its fun and just a game. its messing with evil and can lead to worse evil things

Really, are you sure it doesn't lead to worse things?

HA HA HAAhaahaaaahaaahahahahaha

Ouija boards are fvcking cool. We once made one out of card board and wrote the letters and stuff with my friends blood (he just fell down skateboarding, we didn't have to cut him, but we would have ) .. anyways .. it was sweet. We hung out in a graveyard at 2:00 am next to this pond.. just the five of us .. nothing happened .. with the board .. but then someone looked over at the pond and at 2:00 am there were five ducs (there were five of us) and every single duck was jet black .. you ever seen black ducks before? They were all just sort of chilling in the pond right by us. Needless to say, we took off out of that graveyard like screaming banshees . never to return or touch a ouija board ever again.

Thank you for proving my point.

YES. American Black Duck Do You know WHY ducks DON'T fly upside down? . . . They Quack UP! :D

The black duck occupies a variety of habitats across its breeding range. In Canada, the highest breeding densities of black ducks occur in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence River region of mixed forests.

YOU HAD TO GO AND RUIN MY ENTIRE BELIEF STRUCTURE DIDN'T YOU???
DIDN'T YOU???

Now I'm fvcking royally pissed. This also means that the hot girl in heaven I have spoken to many a time really isn't there, and really isn't waiting for me to die to do naughty things with. I guess I should put suicide off for another coupla years then yet eh .. goddamit!

Believe you me, I never touched one again!

Uh-huh. What makes you think that I was "giggling" and moving the piece myself? As a matter of fact I was quite serious, and I imparted no motion at all to the piece. Because I didn't move the piece, the piece didn't move. The piece moves where you subconsciously want it to move. It's just that simple. I was as serious in the approach as I could have possibly been, I gave it a half-hour, and wonder of all wonders, absolutely nothing happened. This is not the dark ages people.

Bingo. Neglecting the whole argument on the existance/non-existance of conscious deities (which is far removed from this thread and I won't discuss it here), why in the hell would Satan bother with that kind of crap? Goethe's devil (Mephistopheles) is a much more logical figure than a devil who goes around making people afraid of him.

Maybe our unconscious is full of repressed traumatic memories that are constantly threatening to become conscious and when we mess around with stuff that's supposed to be creepy, we sort of cooperate in bringing these memories to the surface. One way the mind functions is by association. When fear is activated, the associations spiral down the vortex of fear setting of enormous psychic energies and an uncontrollable sequencing of associations typical of madness or psychotic break. The onrush of repressed memories, prior to their becoming conscious as memories initiates a sense of immediate impending doom and the freak out panic experience. Negative associations with every past imagined evil will dominate in the chain of inevitable uncontrolled mental associations. In a therapeutic setting, with conscious forewarning that this is all that fear amounts to, sometimes it's possible to transition from the feeling of impending death to a real memory of having died in childhood. There, of course, the person reaches the shore of safety because he or she experiences the real and remembers it. The transition from psychotic avoidance to deep suffering is like being reborn.

"Did you but suffer you would not suffer." A saying attributed to Christ.

So you are implying that a childhood trauma or basic human fear caused "Oakie's" Ouija pointer to take flight and ignite the curtains?
In my very professional opinion (I have a G.E.D.) he is either a booger picking moron or he's having fun in a not-so creative way.;):)

Church, I'm loathed to believe such stories, but there are a seemingly inexhaustible supply of them. I therefore remain undecided. Paranormal events including stuff like telekinesis are often reported in homes inhabited by teenaged girls. Is that a myth or are there real effects some minds can have on the environment, I don't know. Since we don't understand the ultimate nature of reality I would not be prepared to say that the mind and the world are in separate locked boxes.

when iwas like 11 and used to hang around in the 'ruff' part of town, we used to try weejee boards, looking back, i think we did it wrong. we just wrote yes/no on the board. anyway, it was always obvious that some one was pushing it (used a plastic cup) but i was always fun to go 'OH S#$T!!!! SMASH THE F$%^&NG CUP' then run away screaming


i don't dissmiss the fact that they actually work, but i'm too scared to mess with them, enough weird crap goes on without that happening

I didn't post my true story expecting you all to believe it. We did it in the kids bedroom that was adjacent to the backyard and that's how we got the hose so easily.
The worst part is that the one kid that tried summoning the devil had three relatives pass away in the next 6 weeks. Two of them brutally murdered in totally seperate incidents.
One aunt on his mothers side and one cousin on his fathers side. The grandmother died of natural causes.
He has always thought that it was his fault and he turned to drugs and now is a strung out heroin addict in and out of rehab. He was an honor student before.

Don't screw with the supernatural. I mean it.

Whats your thoughts?

The exact opposite of yours.
