Had you ever met these two people before?
Um, what about the most obvious case in Ouija boards-someone is pushing the planchette and getting a kick out of the guillble!
Well I’m sold that should be a whack of usefull information right there. A book by and expert who never has anything to do with the thing he is an expert on… I’m thinking of that blind guy in the art gallery again for some reason.

Ok here is an interesting tid bit for you just because it is in print or on the net doesn’t mean it is true.
There are tonnes of sites on teh Net that are utter crap such as:
Flat Earth societies
Hollow Earth Theories
even
Faked Moon landing sites
None of them have an ounce of credibility to them when properly examined.
Just because these little rat turds of wisdom are sitting in the Cornflakes of life don’t assume you’re consuming raisin bran.
Yes, whatever…:rolleyes:
Did that uncle’s name begin with a J? Or maybe a P?
Was he a medium tallish-man, maybe slightly overweight in later middleage, with his hair rather thinning in his later years?
I’m seeing a scar - on his knee - his left knee - from a fall in childhood?
Come on, people, we did the same thing last November and again in Febuary, except, besides the usual suspects (hi, His4ever), now we’ve got GOM contributing on the spiritual side and lekatt contributing… well, general insanity.
It’ll end in tears, I tell ya.
Yes, the account was accurate. The room becomes warm and the participants flushed. The amount of energy swirling around is incredible. But don’t try it, it can be very unpleasant for beginners.
<<<<<<WHOOOSHH>>>>>>>>
Actually, Lekatt, I wouldn’t recommend trying it at all (Deuteronomy 18:9-14), whether beginner or otherwise. But you’re not going to listen to me, of course. 
Lekatt,
Where’d you find that quote in your sig?
Besides, the newbies might trip over the space heaters.
Btw, lekatt is a synonym for obdurate. cite
The main reason I don’t listen to you is that you’re driven by fear. One has two main choices in this world, Love or fear. Love can teach you anything, but fear only allows you to learn what it deems.
Love
Leroy
lekatt: Obdurate ignorance and/or propagation of ignorance despite and in spite of logic and facts on the basis of ostensibly superior or greater knowledge.
Then explain the mystery of The Magic Ouija of Horror!
You cannnot explain it. You stand mystified. Unless, of course, you consult the sacred Eight Ball!
I’m reminded of a recent episode of Penn & Teller’s Bullshit! that dealt with oujia boards…
After some chatter on the background on ouija boards, they got a couple of folks to go to a Hollywood hotel where the ghost of William Frawley (costar of I Love Lucy) was supposedly haunting. The folks broke out the ouija board, started asking Frawley’s ghost some questions, and noted the responses. They were then blindfolded and repeated the experiment.
However… unknown to the participants, after they were blindfolded, the ouija board was rotated 180 degrees, so it was upside-down from the original position. So as they repeated their chat with Frawley’s “ghost,” they moved the pointer to the same positions from previously – even though the answers were no longer in those spots. It was laugh-out-loud funny watching these blindfolded folks move the ouija pointer and reciting “yes”/“no” answers, unaware that they were just waving the damn thing around the place.
It’s nonsense, kids. And anyone who wants to claim otherwise can get a whack from the clue-by-four from Uncle Cecil himself.
Let’s see, if the spirits use the arms of the players, would they not also use the eyes. If you think about it for a spell, who knows, the laugh may be on you.
Since we’re now using toys and board games as media for contact with the spirit world, I’ve decided to forego the inconvenience of Ouija and go straight to the hard core occult stuff: Scrabble!
You’d be amazed what answers the tiles give you. Though I’m not at all happy to learn my first son will be named “Rtwlaag.”
Why would they need they eyes of the players? Are the spirits all blind? (and by calling them “players” are you admitting that it’s a toy?)
Simple Experiments to Prove the Ouija Board is Hogwash.
-
Use a board with unfamiliar alphabet, say Cyrillic. Can you channel a spirit who speaks Russian?
-
Make your own board with a simple symbol-substitution code instead of letters. Don’t let the planchette wielders see the code. Decipher the result only after the “message” is “received.”
You can make up any number of these sorts of trials. All of them demonstrate that the planchette wielders must be able to see the board and directly manipulate the pointer for any legible result to be produced.
How can a spiritual being be limited to what the participants can see or do?
It’s a piece of cardboard with letters on it. It works via the ideomotor effect. It is simple to understand and easy to explain. There ain’t no “fear of the spiritual” or any other hogwash going on here. It ain’t no gateway to the occult. It’s a prosaic object with a rational explanation.
Anyone who denies this is either delusional, dishonest, or stupid. Choose one.
