    So what would have happened if the pointer moved on its own? Would you no longer be atheist if you actually saw something "supernatural" happen?

    Well, to answer the original question without pressing personal beliefs or experiences:

    Spiritual reasons for not using the board alone:

    *it's easier to be manipulated/possessed by malicious spirits.
    *negative energies/spirits are said to feed off fear, you're more likely to get scared when you're alone opposed to being with your friends.

    Non-spiritual reasons for not using the board alone:

    *It's difficult to record any results when you are alone, best to have one person ask questions and another to write down any letters or messages.
    *If you're alone, you're more likely to have your own fear and/or subconcious thoughts translate through the board instead of any ''outside'' influence.

    Now to answer previous arguements:

    *Yes, Parker Brothers did sell a version of the ouija board. However, talking boards were around long before the Parker brothers were.
    *Yes, it can be considered a game... but so can russian roulette.
    *The ouija isn't used for summoning, it's used for communication. If the spirits aren't already there, chances are they won't answer.
    *Results are also dependent on the person(s) present. Their mental and emotional state, as well as how open or close minded they are. You can't see through a closed door can you? With that in mind, not every occurrence or result will be paranormal either.
    *As for the ''can't see it, won't believe it'' people; you can't see ultraviolet light with your eyes, but it still exists. Yes, certain equipment can pick it up and measure it, but the same is true with supernatural energies. Ie: thermal cameras, EMF recorders, etc.

    If you believe, you won't have truth unless you're skeptical. If you're skeptical, you won't find truth unless you believe.

    I agree with some of what you are saying, but I will still have to disagree with the fact that you can use the ouija board to communicate with spirits. If spirit communication was as easy as using a board with a glass pointer on it, don't you think more people would be doing it? Also, in regards to your statement about russian roulette being a game. Yes, it is a game, which is why people PLAY it. But then again, people don't try to use roulette to communicate with the dead.

    You can use anything me and my cousin used a piece of cardboard and wrote letters and words on it with a marker and used a ring as a pointer. And TONS of people use it! I don't know anyone that Hasn't tried it

    While that may be true, there are over 6 billion people in this world. I have a hard time believing that all 6 billion of them have tried to use an ouija board. If everyone has tried it then there wouldn't be any skeptics left, because if they tried it then it would have worked. Spirit communication is more than just a board and a pointer, believe me. That's just like saying magic is just as easy as saying a cute rhyme and then all your dreams come true.

    Wow what a debate has been opened up here haha. I believe because of my own personal experiences with the board is Don't MESS WITH IT!! You know the only way some pople learn is the hard way. I know I'm one of them. I believe 6 billion people have used the boards because its been around long before it was boxed up pretty and sold for a game. The devil comes in sheeps clothing. Now I'm not saying its evill but it can have evil attached to it. It shouldve never been made into a game. Because it is NOT a game. And as most things evil it can start pretty and fun when your "playing" with it only it ends unfun and playing you! Face it evil is all around you waitng for the moment to get it on with you so why give it a chance?
    And as for the russian roulette comment above? Your wrong russian roulette WILL let you communicate with the dead. You just have to win first!

    Love the Russian Roulette comment! Also I'm wondering about the comment that you don't conjure spirits up... they may already be there. Interesting concept. It makes me wonder if with all the times I used a Ouija board they were already in my house. That house definitely had spirits.

    Yes, this is an interesting debate. It's also nice that we can all discuss our different views without insulting each other or using swear words. It's a breath of fresh air :)

    I stopped using a board a couple years ago. At that time, I thought I was bringing in new spirits. Now I'm wondering if I can talk to the spirits already in my house. I am pretty sure they are friendly. I think I'll rethink using a board in my home. Patti

    Pattijo55, I suggest you should try summoning the spirit into visible appearance rather than using an ouija board. There are several books out there on the subject. Some are better written than others. Believe me, actually seeing a spirit is more interesting than just communicating with one via a board.

    I'm sure you're right. I'm just so curious as to who is in my house. Is it family or a past resident. We are waiting to see if anything comes up on the recordings. Thanks Patti

    I'm all for summoning spirits. I do it several times a month. I just don't think it can be done with a board and a pointer. It's a bit more complicated than that.

    Ouija boards are NOT bad. They can't be bad because they DON'T do anything. It's a piece of wood (or plastic) with some fancy letters on it and a glass (or plastic) pointer. It cannot summon spirits or let you talk to your dead grandmother. I'm sorry, if you want to communicate with spirits, there are plenty of books out there that teach it. The Ouija board is not one of them. :mad:

    Hello my name is Victor and I am a telepathic claravoyant psychic and um the things with them are that you never know what's on the other side trying to get through the bord its self seems innocent enough but you never know who you are communicating with I understand that you are claravoyant to being able to hear and see things as I am but you really must understand that some of these forces can really hurt you I have talked to a friend in panama city who played with the bord too and his home which was recently demolished was under attack by some verry angry possibly demonic force. And you are not suppose to use them alone because you may get attacked or even possesed because people like us are sinsitive to supernatural forces. And I have looked into demonic attacks and most people who were attacked suffered from being choked to death to losing consciousness to over a year and losing their memory I don't use them they are way too dangerious

    You know its people likek you that I find so amusing. In the dictionary if you look the word ignorant you will see the meanig : "does not know" please understand I'm not being insultive by this I'm pointng out that you do not know . Not really. OR you would not write this stuff that you do NOT know about. Just because it is plastic or wood means nothing. The ouiji has been around longer than plastic has even been made. This "game " became a "game" when the parker brothers made it into one to sell and make money. The ouiji dates all the way back to the dark ages and possibly before! In china it is dated back to the 1200 because. I hate to tell you but you do NOT even NEED the GAME to use a ouiji board! Cut out some letters, put them down. Use a glass on the table your letters and numbers are on. So please do NOT try and tell people it is all a joke. Because it isn't. If you do NOT know what you are doing it doesntmean nothing is going to happen. Just like the fact people do not believe in GOD doesn't mean HE isn't there. Or air just because you can't see, feel, taste, etc it , it IS STILL THERE. The ouiji is designed to speak wioth spirits and you better know that most good spirits are in the light- so to speak. They are not sitting around hanging around waitng to make contact with a ouiji board. BUt you better bet that demons and evil IS!
