So when Bri's board arrives we could have a Ouija session in chat and see what the cellar ghosties have to say. I bet ghostoflumberjim'll show.

I remember when LumberJim died.
Now it's Cicero.
The board will tell us who is next to go.

(s'okay - online ouija says A Stranger, so it's a noob)

At least that means they can't vote I suppose.)

We don't hit them with golf clubs though. They already whinge enough as it is.

Maybe it means someone who is stranger than all the rest of us.

Been nice knowing you!

Monty Python covered the use of the occult by the Police. The Ouija board bit, which I think of every time I see this sketch, is at about 3:00.

Ouija is a divination tool. Divination tools are not inherently good or bad by themselves, but one can make a pretty good argument for why 11 year olds shouldn't be doing divination.

If anyone wants more of a diatribe on all of this, PM me, 'cause I don't want anyone here to think I'm wacky, nor do I wish to bore anyone.

Maybe kids are better equipped to handle divination than adults? Maybe the fact that they have an excuse for not being able to determine what's real and what isn't, makes them all the better for it.

You guys sound so caustic about it. 11 year olds don't conjure evil(not your average one anyway). Adults do. All the symptoms and evidence are inside this thread.

And this makes it really obvious that you have not raised a child, average or otherwise.

I am sorry, most evil manifestations are caused by adults. It happens to be the internal manifesting in the world that causes the actual demons, and most adults are guilty of this kind of projection. Pinch Pinch, poke poke.

Btw: Masturbation is evil too. You are all going to hell you demons.

Hey Pie. You actually sound the most sensible here. That equals good.
