Very good testimony.
Here is a link to a mans true story about his first and last time using a Ouija board:
http://www.bswett.com/1964-03LimitEffects.html
Elijah Jefferson Bond (January 23, 1847 - April 14, 1921) was an American lawyer and inventor, best remembered for inventing the Ouija board in its current form (1890). The company which produced these boards was named The Swastika Novelty Company, and had a Swastika as part of its logo.
The board itself does nothing. If one was hidden in your house without your knowledge, your domicile would not suddenly become haunted. A person’s belief in the board’s claimed abilities opens them to the possibility of influence by malevolent forces.
When we were kids we got a hold of one that was found in the city dump, unopened. Someone threw it away without opening it...
As soon as they (not really me) started playing with it, weird things happened. Scratches started appearing on two of their backs for one thing.
That sort of thing.
Finally we took it to the concrete driveway and try to set it on fire. It would not burn, a cardboard game-board should burn right? Finally we put some kerosene on it and lit that up.
It took forever for even the plastic ‘pointer’ thing to burn and the flames were about 7 feet high by this point, the fire looked strange too. Some of the others thought they saw “figures” in the fire.
we were just glad it was gone.
lolz
C. S. Lewis touches on some of this in The Screwtape Letters. Those who do not believe in demons or devils can be especially vulnerable to them, for that very reason.
Just because you don’t believe in them, doesn’t mean they don’t believe in you.
Don’t mess with that kind of stuff.
Well, the timeline doesn’t support that.
Like all of the 28 Jesuit colleges, Wheeling has hosted the Vagina Monologues and/or continued to invite pro-abortion figures at Commencement speakers and/or to receive honorary degrees.
Even the Catholic bishops, who have a long history of snuggling with pro-aborts, finally called for the honoring of pro-aborts to stop. The Jesuits have been very ostentatiously defying that request.
Charles Currie, SJ, was President of Wheeling starting in 1972. He supported the Notre Dame invitation of Obama. He has a Facebook page on which he posted a big photo of Obama in 2012, saying he was “proud” to support Obama.
All Catholic parents need to informed of the treachery and corruption of the Jesuits’ high schools and colleges.
Um...that was just a little joke.
In those days, the swastika was considered a ‘good luck’ symbol and appeared in Boy Scouts of America and US Military insignia, among other things.
Then that malevolent bastard Hitler came along ...
So many Catholics, so poorly formed at the time like so many today, reporting here with understandable trepidation. Sad.
Hubby always tells a story about meeting a couple of guys (I don’t remember the details and anyway this was hubby in NYC in the 70s, so you know - don’t ask!).
The one guy said he was a Satanist, but in any event they all went to the 3rd guy’s house.
The 3rd guy had a dog, a very nice normal, not-old dog.
The dog had never seen the Satanist guy before, but when he laid eyes on him the doggie just pooped right on the floor, doggie was terrified. But the guy didn’t look scary in any way and hadn’t made any threatening moves with the dog.
The owner of the dog was embarrassed but hubby, good Presbyterian boy that he was had the brains to tip off (as we used to say) pronto!
If you believe in the unseen world at all, in any way, why would you think there were only good things in it?
But you'd have to give your soul to Satan to get them. This may explain George Soros.
Wise words.
Controlled by the devil?
Correct and well stated.
99% of Ouija stories out there are BS - just like the vast majority of tales of hauntings and the like are not to be believed as most are nonsense. Saying that, there is always a risk with these conduits that an unlucky person, particularly someone who has weakened their spiritual defenses against wickedness (in ways that we really can't understand), will open themselves up and invite an evil into their lives that initially masquerades as something harmless or perhaps beneficial.
The bible is pretty clear about avoiding this kind of stuff for a reason.
Which is, I think, scarier than the premise that it's the board's fault.
the Ouija Board from The Exorcist....
Captain Howdy says ‘hi!’

I have to admit, that one was pretty funny.
But they're not all like that.
Another good post on this subject. The board is just a conduit. It just happens to be a conveniently well designed one, and one that lends itself easily to a person or people manipulating the planchette to convince themselves or others that contact was achieved. Most of the time it's BS and nothing really happens. But some tiny % of the time, for reasons we can't fully understand, evil will reach out and attempt to worm it's way into our world by deceiving some weakened soul into giving it roots here.
And then there is the real life event in 1949 that inspired William Blatty to write The Exorcist. A Ouija board was present there as well:
