How can I get my brother to stop playing the ouija board?

My brother's friend made an ouija board, and my brother and cousin ended up keeping it here at my grandparent's house where we stay. My brother used to play the Ouija board almost everyday. He has contacted a girl named ruth, my grandma, and im not sure who else. Ruth is usually the one that comes through most of the time. I guess she really likes my brother. She says she is waiting for him to die. She has even joked around saying she wants to poison his food. I know he isnt making this up, because one day at his ex girlfriends house he found a picture of this ruth girl. I guess she must have been related to his ex girlfriend, I don't know. I think he said that she killed herself, I can't remember. & then one day when my brother and cousin were playing the ouija board they came in contact with my grandma, & she was saying that they should kill my aunt jody & things like that. & then my brother and cousin asked her to show herself, & at the same time both my brother and my cousins phones went off. I dont think that was just a coincidence. If I remember correctly, I think my cousin accidentally took his hand off of the thing (sorry i dont know what its called). Is that bad? I'm afraid there are demons in the house or something. I have never played the ouija board except one time when I was a little kid, but I was too young to understand what it was. I am a Christian, and I have been baptized sense then. I don't dare touch one of those things. Anyway, I guess my brothers friend had the board, and apparently it "flew" out the back window of the car. I don't understand how that could happen. That must have been some pretty strong wind. I'm just glad its gone. But recently, my brother has been playing again with one of his friends Ouija boards at their house. I am really worried about him. I have heard so many bad stories about Ouija boards, and I am afraid something will happen to him, or someone else in my family. He says he doesn't care if anything happens to him. I tried to tell him that all of the spirits that come through are actually bad spirits or demons. None of them are good. He doesn't believe me though. I also have noticed a BIG change in my brother over the last year. Im not sure if its because of the ouija board or because of his new job or what. He has just become very mean, selfish, careless, arrogant, and conceited. I have been suffering bad with anxiety and depression for quite some time, and he has been bullying me for it. Not jokingly either. It hurts my feelings. Anyway, how can I get him to stop playing the ouija board before something bad happens to him or someone else?

    You said well, with the Ouija board will conjure up the spirits of devils, if your brother does not want to understand it will know when something scary happens, then, yes, believe it! But it will not have time to get away from the demons? I think No! Yes, what you said, that is, that your brother has become arrogant, conceited, and bad, surely it is for the spirit seance with the Ouija board. My advice is that you pray directly to God for your brother, before it falls into the net of demons. OK! -

    You can't. If he wants to play with it, he's going to. But you really shouldn't worry about it. Here's why.

    The Ouija board is a kid's game sold at Toys R Us, and it doesn't conjure spirits any more than Hungry Hungry Hippos conjures real hippopotamuses. There's a lot of myth and hype surrounding this board since many people are easily fooled and would rather buy into the hype than consider this with a critical eye. It works based on the ideomotor effect -- subconsciously you are pushing on the pointer in the direction of the letter you think the "spirit" is spelling. And it works much better with multiple players, since when a few letters are already spelled everybody tends to home in on the same word -- the players are pushing the pointer, not a spirit. And when everybody is pushing the pointer, the illusion is that no one is pushing on it. That's it, that's the whole gag. It fools lots of teenagers, and embarrassingly enough it fools some gullible adults too.

    And don't forget to take into account the jokers -- the players who intentionally move the pointer, or the ones that rigged something to fall or tip over during the Ouija session (a little black thread in a dark room can be pretty effective for that). Or just say "hey,I see a black shadow in that corner!" -- everybody will look, and that's your cue to fling the pointer across the room and say a demon did it. This kind of stuff is what Ouija board sessions are all about.

    Yes you should help him break free of it. The use of an Ouija board can often just be a random diversion in which nothing happens. But sometimes it can open up the door to the demonic. This is since you are actually calling upon a spirit to converse with you. The spirit can claim to be an angel, a deceased relative or the like, but do not be fooled. What the Ouija board connects you with (if anything) will be a demon.

    Even non-Christian websites warn against Ouija board use just due to the many bad experiences people have had. One says, “On balance, the use of a Ouija board should be strongly discouraged. Those who do attract lower level beings ultimately stand a very high chance indeed of suffering possession and/or serious mental illness, both of which would be nearly impossible to overcome by modern medical means. The only solution to such a serious situation involving inter-dimensional forces would be an exorcism carried out by a highly experienced practitioner of which there are very few living today.”

    One person on Yahoo Answers wrote, “After I played that Ouija ,I never wanted to do it again...I remember asking it when I was going to die and it said "56"...and I asked it how I was going to die and it said "sick".. Of course I wasn't moving the thing, and my friend said she wasn't moving it....It scared me shitless to be honest.. I just hope what it said isn't true…

    Another said, “My sister received one for her birthday and used it regularly. We then noticed a pattern that every time she or I used it we wear hurt pretty bad, not broken bones, but serious cuts. After finally deciding to get rid of it, and throwing it in the trash I told it to ‘burn in hell’ later that day I had to go to the emergency room with 1st, 2nd, & 3rd degree burns to my face from a gasoline accident.”

    And another on Yahoo Answers wrote, “Once my aunt and grandpa were playing with one and it said they would die on a bridge close to my aunt's house. Another time when my youngest uncle was in fifth grade the teacher brought an Ouija board out. He played with it and when he got home his mom told him to ask it if it believes in Jesus Christ as the Savior. He did and the spinny thing flew off the table and they never saw it again.”

    Someone else shared, “A good friend of mine was tormented by a spirit her brother had let loose with this. It even followed her to college. Do not use it. The stronger spirits will come through and they are usually the bad ones.”

    You can do your own search on Yahoo Answers for “Ouija beard experiences” and the like and you will see the stories are never good.

    The only real way to be freed from oppression from the Ouija board is through Jesus Christ. Only in him and through him is there victory over demonic spirits. Those that have experienced the forces of darkness and see that the spiritual realm is very real need to now turn to the good to obtain freedom. Have a look at the links below and see what you think. I suggest you find a better diversion.

    Hey there. I want to start off by saying that anyone who tells you that ouija boards don't work are in denial and are too scared to admit that something outside of their comfort zone actually exists.

    You are correct in your assumption that no good spirits come from ouija boards. Did you know it is against God for his angels to contact the mortal world? So any spirit of Christ is not going to be contacting you.... you are in contact with demons and otherworldly entities that are not good. You mentioned that you thought your grandma had been in contact with your brother, but notice how you also said that she wanted you guys to kill your aunt?..... that isn't your grandma..... what your brother is contacting are evil spirits that pretend to be deceased friends and family members to draw you in. It's a trick. It's all a trick, an evil trick.

    You should indeed be worried about him. His personality change? That's the evil entering his life. Nothing good can come from playing with ouija boards.

    Also, you said someone took their hand off the board piece in the middle......that is bad. There are specific ways to "close the portal," if you will. It has to be done properly to prevent spirits from coming into our world. You need to specifically end the game session by moving the piece to the "goodbye."

    It seems that your brother has gone so deep into this that he is not going to believe a word you or anybody says. He's probably just going to have to suffer some bad experience before he realizes that harm can come from playing with those boards. But his personality will continue to grow deeper into the evil unless he is taken away from the source, which is the board. Hopefully he will stop on his own, because there is nothing anyone can tell him to convince him otherwise. The best thing to do is destroy the board permanently. I wish you the best<3

    I was previously reading a question you answered about supernatural experiences and added you as a contact. I was interested if you would be willing to email me and give me a few more details regarding your experience.

    I have never dealt with Ouija boards so I cannot give you much health outside of what I have read in books. I have experienced quite a bit of what you would describe as "supernatural" since turning to God about a year a half ago. I don't affiliate myself with any church...just a firm belief and faith in Jesus. Anyway, one of the things that I have witnessed personally is that prayer is sometimes the only thing that will end up working in certain situations. If it was me personally, I would end up taking the Ouija board and burning it regardless of how angry someone got with me.

    The thing about spirits is that once a window is opened, they are free to come and go as they please, and this means that one day it will seem like we have complete control, only to find a week or year later we find ourselves attacked again. It is much similar to an alcoholic who goes through rehab and stays clean for a matter of years, only to find themselves relapsing into a drinking binge or a drug addict overdosing. Spirits know when to attack us when we are vulnerable and weak.

    I was physically abused as a child for nearly a decade. It ended up creating a unique psyche that ended in a highly addictive behavior. For the past year and a half I have been clean of drugs simply because I turned to God within my own mind. Oddly enough, it was not until I was clean of these things that I started to acknowledge spiritual warfare actually exists. There are spiritual signs you can find if you overlook the possibility of coincidences and trust that there is more to learn from the things we see and think. You can receive messages from spirits that will help you if you spend more time listening to what your mind is telling you...just don't attempt to communicate with them verbally on your own because this is like an open invitation for evil spirits. It is best to keep your thoughts within your own mind because only God can examine this part of you.

    I probably came off as crazy saying all this stuff. It doesn't matter if you never contact me again, but just remember what I said about it being better to pray silently within yourself. How old is your brother that is playing with this Ouija board?

    Once you have demons in your house they're not just going to leave if you ask.

    Once you have demons in your house it can be hard to get rid of them.

    Just steal the Ouija Board and throw it in the dumpster outside. Listen to me, that's what you NEED to do!

    You live in a World where people are blind! Open you eyes and throw the Ouija board out. Listen to your heart because that's what makes you human and that's the best thing you've got!

    You can stop the demonic entity that has taken over your lives. The board is the portal that opens up your existence to the dark matter invading you. You have to consecrate the ground that you and your brother walk on. You have to meditate to yourself not out loud, "I will trust in Jesus name". This is a slogan that will surpass the speed that the demonic presence travels in and will redirect your environment out of the demons control.

    Your brother will re-convert in time. But you have to recite your prayer while standing in his face. He may be saying harmful things, don't listen to them. Just keep reciting your prayer over and over. The mention of Jesus name will cast out anything thrown at you.

    I don't recommend standing in his face for prolonged periods of time, because the devil is trying to distract you from doing things that are the earnest will of God.

    It is a very simple thing to do and you will see that it will silence the devil and his evil work. When you work, play, rest and everything that you do, recite this prayer over and over. It will cast out the spirit of depression and the spirit of God will guide your hands to create a good work within the testimony of Jesus Christ. And let's face it, that is what we are all here for anyway. Rebuke that demon. It has no power over you or anything the has been placed under your care in the name of Jesus. Get Well Soon

    Get rid of it. Get rid of the board and destroy it. Those who are saying here that it is just a game, not real, are just going with their gut feeling and are not going by first-hand experiences. I KNOW, from first hand experiences, that these can bring evil into the world. Just find where he keeps it and get rid of it. But don't be surprised if it suddenly appears again. If that happens and it gets back into the house, then take it again and break it (or cut it) into multiple pieces, and bury those pieces in multiple areas all around your county. I burned mine, but I heard that the cutting up and burying method is better.
