Now, put yourself on the other side, the inside, the safe side. Do you really want to be the schmuck who gets conned into opening it? I mean only one of two things can happen if you open that door: nothing or something. The nothing is pointless and the something is.. well... think about the missing handle.

One needn't suddenly accept the idea of ghosts, demons or spiritual abysses to come to the conclusion that neither outcome justifies opening it. Don't be the toddler who finds a hand grenade - it could just be a paperweight but...

Yes, my thoughts exactly because my experience was like stormies, only not as weird. Some doors are better left shut.

My only Ouija experience has been with kids I knew who actually pushed the little thingy around and tried to scare the other kids. These are the same kids who would tell you about Bloody Mary and get you to try to go into the closet to summon her, warning you that you would be ripped to shreds in the process. Fun stuff, but I don't believe in it.

But I do believe in the spiritual world. I just don't think it manifests itself in a Hasbro (or whatever) game. If you want scary...play the game of Life!

What the Bleep is a recruitment flick. summary the cult salon critique

Which would, I think, explain the rest of the troubles and confusions you have with her: she sounds rather open to misleading psuedospiritual suggestion.

A lot of people have this problem.

The Ouija board doesn't possess any innate mystical properties, any more than any other spiritual/religious item. The problem comes when you open yourself psychically to outside forces. Can you summon spirits with one? You can summon something. Whether it's a manifestation of something in your own psyche or an actual spirit or demon or what have you, it's very possible to write checks with a Ouija board that your mind can't cash.

It doesn't matter whether the object is 500 years old, has a Milton Bradley emblem on it, or is homemade out of stuff laying around the house. Your mind and energy is the mechanism and the fuel for what happens, and stuff actually does happen. Not always, or even often. But it's like splitting the atom -- just because you know how to do it doesn't mean you can control what happens after. You can go crazy with that crap.

And to those who harumph at all things supernatural -- stay skeptical. 90% of it is debunkable. Some of it isn't, but you're not supposed to be futzing with it anyway. You pagans are lucky you don't get bit in the ass hard from some of the stuff you mess with.

Let a man's own ass be bitten by his beliefs, not the ass of his neighbor. At least Pagans don't start bloody crusades, inquisitions, etc.

noodle, I don't mess with those energies. I respect them but I hardly invite negative energies into my body, mind or life. Or, anyone else's.

Christians have the devil--they know he is there but they don't go calling him up. There is no light without the dark.

Well, you know why they call him "Mister NOODLE" right?

Sorry Stormie - I know this was your personal experience and I'm not calling you a liar, but to be frank I find the idea of a piece of cardboard/ wood fixing itself back together and jumping up onto a dresser ridiculous.

Isn't it more likely one of your group discovered a way to put the wind up the rest of you and did it themself?

Neither do Christians. Come down off the cross, the heretics haven't needed your pity for several hundred years

My apologies, I didn't intend to single out Christianity, but I can understand how you got that impression from my two examples.
To clarify: substitute the flaming hell of the Middle-East clash between two monotheistic religions for "etc." . . .

I'm gay for the whole cellar, I would hope at least some of you were gay for me.

If you guys knew me in real life, you would be laughing so hard. Probably trying to scrub the shame off with a wire brush, too.

I just enjoy messing with him because we got off to a really bad start and now I think he's pretty funny. Plus, I'm desperate and lonely.
