I just received a somewhat unusual PM and link to an incredibly silly discussion on reddit entitled “Feeling like I need to play Ouija,” wherein two commenters – Kelli4JC and calgarth68 (one of whom is a member of this group) – are arguing as to whether a Ouija board can raise demons, or if it’s just a harmless pastime. At one point, Kelli4JC posts: You telling someone to just "go ahead, use a Ouija board alone!" without any sort of reasonable caution whatsoever is like telling someone to go drive down a freeway alone blindfolded! It's frankly reckless and poor advice period! Then the discussion deteriorates further with the two of them calling each other “ignorant,” correcting each other’s grammar ... the usual, with calgarth68 posting: I challenge you to contact a mental health care professional and show him (or her) this discussion and ask which of us he/she considers "ignorant." The self-righteous Kelli4JC, who admits seeing a psychologist, comes back with: I'm quite sure if I showed him this discussion, he would laugh!....and not because he believes one way or the other, but simply because of how childish and combative you are behaving over the subject matter!It’s frightening there are people who ... well, I won’t say what I think. Instead, go to the site, read the exchanges – I believe there are two threads under the same heading – and tell us what you think. It should be interesting.

I hope calgarth68 is the member of this group because that other one's just pure crazy.

I've studied the paranormal for 60 years and it makes me very angry when I read something like this. People like this woman (I assume Kelli4JC is a woman) are one of the reasons that so many dismiss the paranormal as fantasy.
Ouija Boards are nothing but particle board and plastic. They have no magical powers. I spent many years trying to communicate with spirits because I wanted to believe. I spent many, many hours using the Ouija board and attending séances before I was finally able to admit to myself that spirits aren't like dogs -- they don't come when called. I still believe in ghosts and an afterlife and I'm not saying that it's beyond the realm of possibility for the dead to interact with the living, but it has to be on their terms. They don't communicate through spirit boards or mediums. As for demons, there's a reason people, like Aleister Crowley, who claim demons can be raised through certain magical rituals, are heavy drug users.

Every time I think I've seen, heard and read it all, I'm proven wrong. This Kelli bitch needs to be taken away in a straitjacket. She's stark-raving mad! To say something like that, she's either on some heavy-duty psychotrophic meds or she's been smoking pot and using other drugs for most of her life.
BS like this is the reason I stay away from Reddit. You can tell most of those on the site/sub where this slapstick conversation is posted are potheads and misfits, because anyone who posts something approaching sensible gets down-voted and ambushed. Reddit is a place for stoned adolescents and crazy-assed adults who should be shut away in a mental institution.

Kelli4JC has problems comprehending what she reads and calgarth68 keeps making her look like a fool. Sadly, she doesn't even realize it.

I have very limited training in the mental health field, but I know enough to recognize Kelli4JC is in need of psychiatric intervention, because she appears to be exhibiting signs of schizophrenia. She's either a younger woman, maybe in her 20s or 30s, or an extremely naïve older woman, and she's either an alcoholic and/or drug addict, or has been in the past. I noticed that she said she was seeing a psychologist for PTSD from domestic abuse. This means she has deep-rooted problems and it's common for people with these type issues to believe there are things like demons and other imaginary entities, because it's easier than admitting the real demons are from within. Calgarth68 was close to the truth when he quoted the Bible verse, but rather than take the high road, he allowed her to goad him into stooping to her level.

What bothers me is that most of those in the paranormal subs are impressionable teenagers, who don't know any better than to believe what Kelli4JC posts. They could use a Ouija board and imagine that they or someone else was possessed by the devil and someone could get hurt.
Another thing that bothers me is that she pretends to be a Christian, then uses foul language and has an overbearing, know-it-all attitude. She sure doesn't act like a Christian in her posts.

I agree. I was looking thru some of her former posts and she's constantly getting into arguments with people. In one post she says,
"Secondly, it's clear that you are just a narcissistic ass! You have NO respect for those who don't believe what you believe! You're information is not even credible- it's pulled out of your ass at best! You clearly don't live a life of love, respect and kindness from what I can tell.
"Just stop being so damn combative already! Take your bull-headed rude bullshit comments and straight up shave them up YOUR ASS!!!"
How can she accuse someone of not living a life of "love, respect and kindness" talking like that? That's not the way Christians talk. She's a total hypocrite.

That's not the way Christians talk. She's a total hypocrite. That's not the half of it. In one post, she explains how to perform oral sex on a man https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/8t6f8k/how_do_you_get_comfortable_sucking_a_guys_dick/e15bcoy/ and in 3 others she says:
(1) I always wear Victoria's Secret thong panties— but not the string "floss" kind. I prefer the seamless silk, lace or satin panties with leopard prints or pretty colors.
(2) I'm a divorced mom with two little boys (3 yrs & 4 yrs old). I'm basically heterosexual, but damn!— 1) I'm bi-curious and 2)practically horny all of the time when my boys are with their dad for the weekend.
(3) I don't think most teenage girls are, simply because they're not really comfortable with their developing bodies just yet, and usually not too familiar or experienced with sex. I definitely hit my "prime" at 30, and now I'm practicing a nympho!
Those aren't the kind of things a devout Christian who preaches to everyone else should be posting.
She also claims she's attended college, but her grammar is so poor it's obvious she's lying about that, too. In one comment, she writes "exasperating" when she means "exacerbating" and above she says "I'm practicing a nympho!" when I assume she means "I'm practically a nympho!"

She's certainly a hypocrite, but that's not what disturbs me. This woman is so obsessed with demonic possession that if she's being truthful, she dreams about her two toddlers being possessed by demons. Here's what she posted a few months ago:
I had a nightmare about 6 months ago where both my 3yr old and 4yr old boys kept getting "possessed". Their faces would distort and their voices would change —- it was absolutely terrifying!...I mean literally horrifying to me to see my sweet little boys' faces distort like a demon's and to hear them speak like one as well! I kept saying "in the name of Jesus Christ I demand you to leave my children!" But the next times I tried to say this, I couldn't speak — it was like sleep paralysis in my dream!
It was 6 months ago, but it was so vivid and terrifying, that I don't think I'll ever forget that dream! I can't even imagine how horrifying it was for you to witness such a thing in real life! www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/9123y7/a_ghost_in_a_rental_house/e2v1npf/?context=3
In her next post, she says:
Definitely! I found myself just staring at my little boys faces for days after that nightmare!— just to make sure it was a dream. ....and they are toddlers..with tempers, so sometimes I would be paranoid over their angry faces! Lol! But those faces were nothing compared to what I saw in my dream!
With someone so obsessed and delusional, there's no guarantee she won't convince herself they are truly possessed. When people give in to their delusions, they can become a danger to themselves and others. Andrea Yates drowned her five children to save them. If this woman believed her children were possessed, or demons were trying to possess them, she could do something similar. www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/9123y7/a_ghost_in_a_rental_house/e2v1npf/?context=3

I just read the pot smoking post and thought about my bad experience with the sub r/Paranormal. At least 90% of those who post are teenagers, who are either dopers or in special ed. They're always asking stupid questions about the Ouija Board and posting dumb things about demons, ghosts following them home, and other BS.

And they usually begin with: "Me and my friend," or "We seen something last night," or "I used an Ouija board ...." (I absolutely hate when someone says "an" Ouija board instead of "a" Ouija board! I agree, these people are either dopers or special ed kids.)

I agree, these people are either dopers or special ed kids.) Sometimes I read r/paranormal just for the laughs. The headings are a hoot. Here are some of the latest "topics" of discussion. (I didn't correct anything, they're exactly as posted.):
Using herbs to clear building from spirits Dreams of a constant demon and other weird happenings Trying to Contact Spirits is not a power you should mess with I'm hearing my sister when she's not home Encounters with The Devil My brother and I had the same encounter the same night, only one of us escaped I touched a spirits hand Something small happened in my house this morning I just saw my dead ex making pasta I think it tried to burn me?!?! I've gone to hell What the shit happened??? The demon on my bed Whatever is in my house has learened to sound like me I Saw A Weird Clawed Hand Reach Out For Me Little Boy Ghost/Demon playing air hockey in my basement... Seriously!
The topics themselves are preposterous, but these bumbling idiots take this malarkey seriously and actually discuss it!
