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

  by Ticker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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?

  I am so curious and would love to try it out but my husband doesn't want one. If I get one now it will upset him and cause an arguement..

  .

  do you first check your post history and respond to former posts, or do you simply read the active topics and go from there?.

  i always feel guilty if i don't respond to a question or comment from the previous day, but i've been posting so much lately that it'll take too much time to go through my post history.

  by DannyBloem in

  1. jw

  probably we all had bible quotes (mostly out of context) used against us.. .

  Prov-8:13

  However in the meeting where the elders where discussing me getting married to a Dfd person they only read the first line ==To fear the LORD is to hate evil--((yes they were trying to tell me that my husband is evil. He was in the room w/ us.))

  ==Self exaltation and pride and the bad way and the perverse mouth i have hated. --

  Of course they don't let you understand that there are good and bad examples of pride. But that verse goes well with their arguement of B-days as well.

  Well from what I remember the over population shouldn't be a problem since they don't feel marriage will be going on in the paradise. Unless spontanious procreation happens......

  lol- that reminds me. Back in my younger years.. living w/ my parents and my brother. I forget how it started but my brother told me to 'shut up!'. I was tired of him being mean to me so I just did what he told me to. (btw... i was like.. 8 yrs old) I shut up. A bit later he was asking me something and I didn't say a word. He kept asking me louder and louder and said if I don't answer him RIGHT NOW he is gonna tell mom. (..ooohh.. ) I turned around and said.. what are you getting so mad for .. you are the one that told me to Shut up!.. --

  Come to think of it.. after reading EF suggested post maybe i am using the wrong words for my actions. I am not doing things to make the other person angry. Maybe its my partner that is P/A toward me.

  Anyway.. since the topic is secretly annoy and not - passive aggressive. I will leave it at that. And say "oops" for the confusion.

  I agree its not healthy and neither is excessive anger which I dont have. I don't hurt anyone and I make myself feel a bit better. The verbal stuff I feel is harmful to youself and the other party. I was raised (good or bad) to try to steer away from confrontation. I am working on my inculcated flaws.
