Because the Russian spirits only manifest through people who speak Russian.
Because the spirits won’t be channeled by people who intend to trick them.
Because deaf, blind or mute spirits can’t be channeled.
Waiter? Another brick wall over here, please. Make it a double.
You’re mistaken. I’m not driven by fear. What drives me is the truth I find in the word of God. And no I don’t want to get into a debate on that subject that will go nowhere. You’re entitled to your viewpoint as to what you think drives me, but only I and God knows what drives me.

Those sites you linked are quite amusing, His4Ever. The only thing they can seem to agree on is “Ouija Boards are Eeeeevuhl!” The most amusing thing was one site advancing the idea that Ouija meant something in Egyptian when one of the other sites said it was a compound from two other words. For the bogus Egyptian etymology: let’s go ahead and say, “Sure.” Now, that puts you into an interesting dilemman, what with Jesus being God’s gift to humanity. English is a Germanic language and, in German, the word gift means poison. So, there you have it folks! Jesus is poison to humanity!
I think a more realistic (and intelligent plan) is to look at sites that deign to use facts, logic, and reality instead of bunk to make their arguments.
I"m sooo glad you got your laugh for the day.
ITS A TOY. It comes from a toy store. It doesn’t require any more research.
The dog then pissed on his leg.
:eek:
You guys like each other, right?
I don’t know, I just thought it strange to wear blindfolds, why not tie their hands behind them and see if that works. Should be good for another laugh.
Just take the word players however you want, It’s really not some secret code.
Everyone here seems to be an expert on the board, but no one has yet understood why it works.
Amazing!
Instead of doing all this whatever, why don’t we just eliminate the board altogether, I bet that would prove it doesn’t work.
Does anyone know what “ideomotor” is, is that when you get an idea it motors across the board, strange.
Leroy, stop ignoring what you have been told several times already in this thread.
Please read this page, all the way through.
Now read it again, all the way through.
Now, can we agree that this is a real, observable effect?
If not, what specific shortcomings did you believe those demonstrations displayed?
On past experience I am expecting you not to answer, save perhaps for some cod theosophy one might find in a fortune cookie. I am expecting that, evermore, whenever “the ideamotor effect” is mentioned you will contend that there is no such thing because “an idea motoring an object across the table is ridiculous” or something.
Prove me wrong Leroy, I know you can do better than this. Believe me, I’m on your side but you’ve got to stop insulting people’s intelligence like this
Everyone in the thread except you.
As usual.
I read it, don’t see that it pertains to the subject of this thread.
I am insulting people?
There seems to be a large number of experts here on the spirit board, I would guess not a single one of them have any experience with it. I live in the real world, the world of experience, examine, touch, try, see if this works or that works. I don’t know the world you live in.
If you’re suggesting that not one skeptic has ever tried a talking board, you’d be dead wrong.
It wasn’t Wee-gee, but years ago I had a Ka-bala board. (In a fit of nostalgia, I recently paid mega bucks for one one eBay.) My brother and I decided to ask the spirits what he would be when he grew up. The spritual truth came out that he would follow in the footsteps of OJ Simpson.
Did it come true? Well, so far his wife remains relatively unbludgeoned.
OK, he really got the message that he would be QB for the Bills. Did he? Not by a long shot. His current profession has very little to do with sports, and nothing with football. He doesn’t live anywhere near Buffalo.
So I ask:
Were the spirits wrong?
Or was ideomotoring just telling him what he wanted to hear?
Just to play devil’s advocate, exactly what claim is being made by the Ouija (etc.) board believers?
I was under the impression that an Ouija board is supposed to let you contact spirits, not that the board is a source of infallible information. Seems to me that spirits could lie, be mistaken, be confused, or whatever.
Why would anyone expect a noncorporeal being with lousy spelling skills to be an accurate predictor of future events, anyway?
Funny, and true.
There was a group of spiritual people (about 10) who wrote a book with a Quija board. The title was “Messages from Michael”, it did so well they wrote another called “More Messages from Michael.” I read them some years ago and they were very interesting, I understand they traded the board around and spent a lot of time doing this. Just information.
Love
Leroy
You read a book?
Better be careful, there. Some of that nasty ol’ information might gain a foothold.
“Pretty well rule out” might not be as ironclad as you suppose.
Do these strange things rule out the users conscious mind too?
Hell, I’ve used a Ouija board, many times. They’re fun.
So is “Risk.”
The spirit of Napoleon once attempted to contact me when I was playing Risk once. My brother got in touchwith Wellington, though.
