What a bunch of nutcases screaming over a toy.
An eightball might be better for kids. Or dice. You can actually make a living with dice, when you grow up.
Do Ouija boards work? Maybe so, maybe not. But I wouldnt be wanting to be fooling around and start channeling Hitler or Kennedy.
It is an educational toy. They would play with it once and realize it is a bunch of crap.
Really. I remember playing with my Ouija when I was 12 or 13. It was a present from my folks. For the longest time it wouldn’t work, but then it started working and it was the spookiest thing I’ve ever seen or felt. The little plastic indicator would scoot all around the board, pulling my fingers and hands along for the ride, spelling out things I hadn’t even thought of. Both of us insisted we weren’t pushing it. I only got it to go like that a few times. I’ve read that it works well with early teens and won’t work for adults.
And speaking of low-tech, what about playing cards, yoyos, magic tricks, and juggling balls?
We had one as kids and nothing untoward happened to us or our beliefs.
My grand son recently got a yo yo and was surprised to learn that I knew how to use it. He asked me if we had yo yos when I was a kid.
I’ve got a friend who swears I cost the Steelers a game because I didn’t wear his lucky socks. I hold this in about as much weight.
Yeah you can but man, can you lose your shirt fast in a game of craps!
For Jews and Christians, the Bible forbids the pursuit of divination, necromancy, witchcraft, etc. It’s a no-no.
LOL!! Makes you wonder what they’re thinking your generation had. Stone ax? Slingshot? The wooden raft?
It’s even faster with strip poker!
Yes, so godless ADULTS see the need to PROFIT and EXPLOIT their impressionable minds.
Why not make voodoo dolls and pass them out too?
Over 2/3 of Haitians practice Voodoo.
Truly some people lack proper values/principles and prosper on evil at the sake of the young and impressionable. It's no wonder the U.S. is becoming a bashion of perversion of all sorts.
I think even Islam forbids it. But then again, Islam forbids everything anyways.
You should have told him that way back when you were a kid in pre-historic times all you had was a club, rocks, and dirt to play with. Bicycles hadn’t even been invented yet! No TVs, no cellphones, radios, walkmans, Internet or anything like that.
Heck, global warming wasn’t even talked about - only ice ages. And, yes, we had to walk back and forth to school, uphill, both ways, in 10 foot snow drifts, barefoot, with only the clothes on your back.
“And, yes, we had to walk back and forth to school, uphill, both ways, in 10 foot snow drifts, barefoot, with only the clothes on your back.”
You had clothes?
“For Jews and Christians, the Bible forbids the pursuit of divination, necromancy, witchcraft, etc. It’s a no-no.”
As you can see ... there are not many Christians on this thread. Instead they defend evil and laugh at others that see the dangers on impressionable kids.
