To have refused to let them use a ouija board in my house

[FrankWelker]

We had some friends over for new year and one night they got out a ouija board. I'm scared off them (never done one so don't know why) and point blank refused to let them play it in my house (nicely). I was telling my cousin about this today and she said I'm a right wuss! I know it's my house and I can refuse but do other people have the same kind of fear with this sort of thing?

Well the ouija board I did said the girl was going to die in a car crash at 19. But I found her on linkedin, she is 37.

aer I personally do not think the 'predictions' will necessarily come true.. I think it is in the believing of them there is danger. So in the face of a 'prediction' I think a person would have to think very strongly whether they would believe it on any level, if it would affect them, haunt them.

Again if you don't believe in whatever force has been reported to move the glass in the Ouija, why bother? It would be a futile activity.

"

Fun? We do many things that could be classed as a "futile activity"- play Monopoly, make jewelery, draw, play Candy Crush.

What is fun is subjective bigblue. What was the aim of the original ouija game anyway? Can people win?

I 'get' making jewellery - it looks attractive etc, but I don't see the fun in ouija - especially if the 'predictions' are upsetting to people.

Capsium- I was simply answering yout question- "why bother"- a "futile activity"

Do you think only competitive games count as valid? There are many non competitive games.

I don't only see competitive games as valid, I was just wondering what the aim of the game ouija was. I can't really see it as anything other than a form of divination...because language has meaning, no matter what force you believe moves the glass.

As in you are communication with something, whether that is joint force of the group, the person who is moving the glass in secret or some other thing, for example, a spirit (if you believe in them).

" I can't really see it as anything other than a form of divination."

Meaning?

I think it would take a strong person for the 'messages' not to affect them on some level, especially if they seemed to relate to them Or those close to them personally.
