Pink Ouija Boards: New Menace! -
02-08-2010, 08:22 AM
Christian Prents, BEWARE! Satan is now marketing a PINK ouija board, designed to turn your daughters into witches and your sons into queers.
Quote:
Pink Ouija Board game aimed at young girls prompts boycott
A pink version of the Ouija Board game, made by Hasbro and sold at Toys R Us locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, has been targeted by Christian groups concerned that it is encouraging young girls to communicate with the spirits of the dead.
Living His Life Abundantly and LifeSiteNews are two of the websites encouraging people to sign up to a boycott intended to force Hasbro and Toys R Us to stop making and selling a relatively new version of the Ouija Board game, which Fox News says first came on to the market in 1967, designed to appeal to girls as young as eight.
Available also on Amazon.com, the Ouija Board has been condemned as "a dangerous spiritual game" by Stephen Phelan, communications director for the Pro-Life Catholic missionary organization Human Life International, Mr Phelan stating that the Bible warns people "not to mess with spirits", adding:
All Christians should know, well everyone should, that it's opening up a person to attack, spiritually. Christians shouldn't use it!
Critics have pointed to the words of a former New York City police officer, Ralph Sarchie, said to be an expert in demonology - Mr Sarchie claims to have investigated witches and Satanists and attended exorcisms while working in the South Bronx - as evidence of the dangers posed by games such as Ouija Board.
It is reported that Mr Sarchie wrote in his book Beware the Night:
There ought to be a law against these evil, occult `toys. I can hear some of you out there saying, ‘Hey, I used a Ouija board and nothing happened.’ Consider yourself lucky, then. It’s like playing Russian roulette. When you put the gun to your head, if you don’t hear a loud noise, you made it. Same thing with the board: The more times you pull the trigger, the more likely that on the next shot, your entire world will go black!
A Canadian man, John Cain, supposedly once involved in the Occult and responsible for launching the boycott which hopes to force the game's withdrawal, noted too:
This is the mainstreaming of the occult.
I’m a Catholic and I know it’s stated in the Catechism and the Bible that divination and necromancy are off-limits. But the middle-of-the-road group, people who have either fallen away from the Church or don’t have any religious affiliation, they think that when a big corporation like Hasbro and Toys R Us makes it appear so innocuous, it makes them wonder ‘how bad can this be?’ So they buy it and introduce it to their children.
Hasbro has defended Ouija Board as " simply a game" which is "intended purely for fun and entertainment", and the Rhode Island-based manufacturer has found support from Chris Byrne, director of content for TimetoPlayMag.com.
Fox News quotes Mr Byrne as saying of Ouija Board:
There's absolutely nothing remotely Christian or un-Christian about it. I think people are projecting their belief system on it
Refuting the idea that Ouija boards are a means to communicate with the dead.
Mr Byrne added:
That is something that people have made up and it became part of our culture. It's always been entertainment. What I remember is trying to brain my younger brother with the board because he kept moving it. It's just funny that people make up this stuff.
The website Bright Hub recently posed the questions "Do Ouija boards work?" and "Are these so-called spiritual tools effective enough to communicate with the dead?".
Stating that the Ouija board has its origins in China approximately 3,110 years ago, indicating too that the Greek philosopher Pythagoras may have used a board during seances 2,550 years ago, Bright Hub concluded that the "automatic, mysterious motion of the Ouija board pointer" is in reality "manipulated by the users".
It also makes reference to the pointer, often known as the planchette, moving as a result of the ideomotor effect.
Nevertheless, denying that criticism of the game had played its part in the decision, Toys R Us spokesman Bob Friedland has told LifeSiteNews that his chain has stopped stocking Ouija Board "because we're making way for newer products".
The pink version of Ouija Board was first sold by Toys R Us in 2008 and following its withdrawal a glow-in-the dark version of Ouija Board designed for eight- to 14-year olds will remain on sale.
Ouija Board had allegedly been the subject of a complaint to Toys R Us by Human Life International some years ago. However the matter went no further than a call to the toy store chain because Toys R Us denied the game was on sale and Human Life International could find no evidence of it being sold.

No evidence?!!!
They showed the Exorcist at my Church for the teens to show them the wages of playing with a Ouija or Dungeons and Dragons.
100% true story. <---- They were that godly.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

In regards to the pink color, I also note the Ouija board would also have an appeal to the deviant homosexual community.
Additionally, I suspect these boards are yet another way for Satan to pluck off various random 'cafeteria Christians' via a seemingly inocuous introduction to witchcraft.
Recall KJV1611:
1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.

You are aware that the Exorcist is a work of fiction, right?

To the extent that the Catholic priests fight Satan instead of buggering children in his name, sure.

I also checked the Satanic Book Registry in the Landover Baptist data base and found this:
Astrology for Teens by Joan Quigley
You may recall Joan attempted to overthrow the Godly Reagan administration with her Satanic inveigling of Nancy Reagan with sorcery back in the 80s. I would not be surprised if she has a hand in this foul Ouija board!

Oh my goodness, someone used the word buggery here. I feel I'm finally home.
So you mean to tell me that everything else in that film is completely accurate? I thought True Christians weren't supposed to watch horror films, particularly films like The Exorcist that glorify evil.

Look familiar?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

So it is acceptable for a spiritual leader, such as a pastor or a deacon, to view a film with explicit sexual content, bordering on the pornographic, but not for his congregation?

How else are they supposed to know what we shouldn't watch?
Even you aren't that dumb, are you?

Well, I would assume that most of you kind people can think for yourself, and shouldn't need an authority figure to tell you what violates your religion. If everything is already in the bible, shouldn't it say what is and what isn't acceptable for a TRUE christian to watch?

You do not understand why the Pastors need to watch this filth.
Of course, no one unnecessarily watches any film which is already known to be evil and despicable. However, in order to judge whether or not a film is suitable for the congregation, the Pastor needs to watch it to make a decision.
Also, watching films which are known to be filth can still be useful when you want to learn more about the tricks of the devil, in order to recognize his evil handiwork more easily in the future.
Sweet Lord Jesus,
I want to pray for those who persecute me, my Lord.
Please, treat their children as you treated those of Egypt, when they upset you! (Psalm 135:8-9)
Dash their little children against the stones for their fathers iniquity! (Psalm 137:8-9)
Hit them on the cheek, and smash out their teeth! (Psalm 3:7)
Make their death and descent into Hell swift and terrible! (Psalm 55:15)
Scatter their broken bodies over the streets of their evil cities, like Benghazi, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Mecca! (Psalm 110:6)
Praised be Your Glorious Name™.
Amen.

You obviously never bothered to actually read the Holy Bible. The Bible contains a lot of clear and consistent information on how we have to live our lives. But we True Christians also use something called a "brain". This is probably beyond your reach, but I assure you actually using your brain makes a significant difference. Suddenly everyone stops looking at you with pity and starts to pay attention to you. Perhaps you should try using your brain as well, you might be surprised.
Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

So you're saying that any one else besides a pastor/deacon watching one of these demonic films wouldn't be knowledgable in the word of God enough, or smart enough to be able to recognize the sins that run rampant through them?
As for the rude comments from the Cranky Old Man, I have not insulted anyone here in this thread, I'm merely inquisitive. Stop being such an antagonist, and perhaps I might take you seriously. You did not even try to answer my question, and instead proceeded to insult me for no warranted reason.

In the days of my youth, I was a member of The Landover Young Christian Team for the Suppression of Satanism. Our section was 4 men (no women allowed) and we decided to seize a Ouija board from the local store and test it so as to dispel all ideas that this might just be some stupid superstitious nonsense.
As darkness fell, two candles were lighted and we assembled around the board. At first, nothing much happened or else the spirits were dyslexic. Then it spelled out N-I-E-M-E-Y-E-R- -I-S- -A- -F-A-T- -B-A-S-T-A-R-D And then, Craig Niemeyer, who didn’t seem too happy with me for some reason, said,
“Tell Bathfire what the future holds!”
The planchette moved violently; a mysterious wind blew out one of the candles and, as we sat there in stark terror, the following was spelled out.
H-E--W-I-L-L--M-E-E-T--A- -R-I-C-H--A-N-D--P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L--W-O-M-A-N--W-H-O--W-I-L-L- -C-H-A-N-G-E—H-I-S--L-I-F-E.
We sat in the darkness and silence for a while and I will admit that I felt a little self-satisfied and then Niemeyer went to the drinks cabinet and we had a few stiff ones to recover before we held a prayer meeting.
I was arrested on the way back home for DUI – the judge was Miss Betty Coors the heiress, she fined me $1,200 and took away my license for a year. The prophecy had been fulfilled.
How the police knew I was driving back home along back roads, I’ll never know. Yet, if there had been no answer, there would have been no need for the Jack Daniels and thus the prophecy would not have been true.
It’s all ‘of Satan’.

That's what I'm screaming. I had a ouija board as a child and it didn't do what they're claiming it did. Hell, it sat in my closet more than I actually played with it. I had D&D as well, Now that game was fun. D&D is a game of stratagy and thinking.
