  Ouija boards Do you feel they are real or not?Any personal experiences?

  by Ticker in

  i've had several expereiences with ouija boards, some interesting, some disturbing, and as skeptical as i try to be i have to admit i have seen it personally say things and do things that i can not logically explain.

  some say its your sub-conscience, some say its spirits, others say its demons.

  i am just wondering if any of you have had experiences with the ouija board, what they were, and what you believe about them, supernatural or just another simple amusement?

  What exactly is table tilting? Ive never personally heard much about it. Can someone explain it or what happens.

  do all kingdom halls have the same schedule as far as times and dates go?

  i would like to have a list of all meetings that the j.w.

  I remember that meetings were set by the elder body, except the sunday meeting which was pretty concrete in its time to be in tune with the rest of the dub world. The book study was held on tuesday, thursday, and saturdays during my time with the JW's. Ive seen the ministry school/service meeting switch from tuesday to thursday and back again. These two meetings really have no set in stone times and often the bookstudy was held in the mornings. These meetings would also fluctuate around the C.O. visit, memorial, and assemblies. Not sure anymore what its like but I would imagine its much the same as it was.

  The Ouija Board is one of the few remaining emotinal tabu's I have leftover from dub-dumb

  I can fully understand that. Myself it doesnt bother me anymore, as I don't really classify them as just demons communicating through a board on behalf of Satan, to further his side. For all I know it could be spirits, ghosts, entities, or pherhaps just some form of energy. I try not to let my JW past influence my views of things now. Thats if their truly is something supernatural to it. I was bothered by boards for along time due to my Jw upbringing and I totally understand the uneasiness of playing with one. I thik its a leftover factor from all the fear and guilt they pump into you through their doctrines and publications.

  Sounds like a George A. Romero spoof. lmao Watch out Rub a J Dubs the living dead want to feed on your brains, well thats if a JW had a functional brain.
  
  I also see the Governing Body truly is God now as they can make the below quoted claims yet only God is the one who will determine who is in his favor or not. Everyone will stand before God not just 6 million followers of a few old men in Brooklyn. Boy their audacity pisses me off more and more every day. Bunch of proud old pinheads, talk about eliteism at its worst. Shall we say they are a bit self rightous? I would think so.

  Only Jehovah’s Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil

  Are you ready for this week's book study?

  by ozziepost in

  1. watchtower

  something to think about for this week's book study:.

  it's found on page 57.. now look at paragraph 24; the last two sentences read:.

  "like the roman empire, it (the anglo-american alliance) has proved to be "strong as iron", exercising ironlike authority.

  Maybe im rusty on this too, but wasnt the Anglo-American power resprisented by the clay and iron that was bonded together in the statues toes? Its been along time since going through this material and since I have been inactive for a few years now, Ive kinda lost all touch with their doctrines.

  Wow, some pretty interesting stories. Me personally Ive had it relate things that happened years later and yes they did come true. I had completely forgot about it until I messed with a board years later. Even the initials of who I would marry and that was when I was a kid, I had no idea who I would marry. No lies it honestly stated that. It's one of thoese bizzare instances.

  I have had interesting experiences on the board and some very unsettling which I tend not to like to bring up. Ive talked with ghosts, spirits, demons, you name it. Even one demon who felt remorse with God, which kinda was not your average board experience. I don't play with the board anymore but when I used to I remember almost feeling an addiction for it. I was spending more and more time on it, without really realizing it. I even tore it in half once to get rid of it and tried it one last time before chucking it out. It still worked for me and the spirit pleaded for me not to throw it out but to remain friends. I have recently never bought a board since but have tried just a piece of cardboard and a plate and it works just as well for me. Not that im promoting the Ouji board, I certainly would not do that but its very mind boggling to me. I just can't be sure whether it is supernatural or whether I somehow created it all up sub-consciencelly. Its really wierd to me but still its interesting.

  People who never cry....

  does this mean that they have less feelings, or that they were taught not to show their feelings, or they don't have any?

  I do cry now sometimes but not often. It has to be due to some extreme emotional sadness or stress. I think its like it was earlier posted, you reach your emotional limit and you break down. I wasn't allowded to cry in the open when I was young because of my father, so even now I tend not to show too much emotion openly, I keep it all balled up inside till I can't hold it no more. When you do cry though it sure feels good to just let it all out.

  Misanthropic: Sexual stuff on an ouiji board. Yep Ive personally seen it spell stuff like that out but that could have been me at the time as I was on a board with a girl I liked.lol

  Captain Schmideo: Very interesting though that posted story about opening this portal to another dimension in which you can contact spirits for a mere $16.99 It does seem silly when you think about it.

  Myself I dont know for sure what to believe, maybe I'll run some tests on it, but I really think its somewhat influenced by the person on it. Thinking of what Terry wrote and Captain Schmideo, I remember once being on an ouiji board with a friend that couldn't spell squat and guess what, the ghost, spirit, demon, or whatever couldn't spell worth a hoot either. I have noticed also that it seems to be influenced by what a person believes at the current time, as specifically to spiritual beliefs I am meaning.

  Teela2: That would be spooky for sure, but I'd have to see that to believe it.

  Hellrider: lol They probably are. When I first got on one it took me along time before anything would happen either, I didnt think it would ever work, then poof it just started moving. I don't know if their supposed to be demons or spirits or what, but they sure hate it when you argue with them, which I would do. LMAO

  Keep the story's coming from both sides, skeptic and believer.

  You know whats wierd though and is how the planchette will speed up and at times almost go with a maddening speed, and you can try to manipulate it but it seems to come to a animation of its own. I dont know if this is just a work of our own selves? I too have had it say things that have later come true but have I influenced it also? I have always been troubled by wondering if they are really a portal to the supernatural or not? Maybe Terry is right Garbage in/Garbage out. Very interesting though Mulan how you ended up marrying a David at age 17 like the board had predicted.
