Ouija is a false god

My roomates use the Ouija all the time, frequently under the influence. It is in fact a false idol, a false god. This book tells the truth behind this strange creation, one so proposterous that one would laugh if ti was described to them but a game that seems to take many under its spell.Seth J. Frantzman

The Dangers & Realities Exposed.

This excellent book, based upon many years of study, provides a considerable amount of factual information surrounding the Ouija board, including it's history and it's connections with the occult.This extremely well written study describes how, what are cited as the uninformed and the naïve, are often drawn to the Ouija board as a game, toy or a source of innocent fun, whilst other individuals are seduced into using the Ouija board by promises that it will enable them to "explore their subconscious", to "communicate with the departed" or to "channel human/nonhuman spirit guides".The book cites using the Ouija board as being one of the most popular but least understood practices, whereby it's seemingly harmless application (attitudes shown to be sadly prevalent amongst even some `Church' leaders & `Christian' parents) often pursued in hilarity, rapidly descends into what are depicted as a web of deception and demonic activity which can entrap and dominate the participants amidst forces of which they have little if any understanding.The reader is shown how that "communications" obtained through using the Ouija board often start under the guise of being provided with "spiritual" or personal information. Incidents where the "contacts" often seem benign or benevolent , even offering "correct" information about individual persons, together with detail relating to past incidents & even some predictions relating to the future. However, these are shown to then develop a hold over the operators which can rapidly deteriorate into frightening, vile and dangerous experiences.The study pulls no punches in outlining that the "supernatural phenomena" associated with the Ouija board are not manifestations of departed spirits (as some would claim) but proceeds to describe what the Holy Bible unequivocally states on the matter, with all human spirits having an immediate destination (heaven or hades).The book further specifying that any "communication" with the supernatural realm obtained through using the Ouija board is with demonic entities, although the messages received will rarely reveal evidence of their demonic origin. Deception being cited here as at the heart of demonic operation in order to gain allegiance and manipulate the individuals concerned. Reference also being made to the Biblical clarity of all evil spirits being demonic entities who serve the devil and his realm.Entities cities as having depraved and evil natures who affect their victims mentally, morally, physically and spiritually through demonic intrusion into a user's personality. Cases are cited here which show how many have experienced what are described as the invasion of their minds by thoughts & feelings so foreign to the own nature's as to cause them great concern, distress and even panic.The reader is shown through numerous examples how any "messages" received will seldom reveal the vileness of their demonic source with many even sounding "moralistic" and "impressive". However t

good stuff !!

Happy to see (read)some one who is willing to consider the right and wrong of something. Today's age of spiritism is greatly pursuing how to do many things but seldom considers that "because we can" does not mean "we should". Christianity (rooted in Judaism, the oldest faith in existence) has always warned of the dangers of turning to occultism for truth instead of the "father of truth" God. This book explains why christianity is concerned for all those who use ouija boards to explore the spiritism so common in today's culture.

good read

A rather interesting book on tyhe subject, written in a christian perspective. Has interesting case stories and history about the ouija board, and is written in an intelligent manner. This book may seem a little bit freaky at times!
