My first voodoo doll

[eh7]

I have got myself a voodoo doll today given by a non-christian relative as a christmas gift. The doll seems cute. My question is: Is there anything wrong with christians keeping it as keychain? It seems that voodoo doll has become popular as a decoration, keychain, as a gift to keep and so on...

i would say not to keep it...even if you arent using it, it still has the implication of being the devil's work...i mean cause those type of things are considered to be satanic...its just like geting a mini version of a oiji board and putting it on a key chain!?...u know?

Well...its a gift but the Bible says to avoid the very appearance of evil...is having it "the appearance of evil"?

 

[UBERROGO]

Don't attach it to your belt... or you may *gasp* sit on it!

The voodoo doll is something like this:

Any comments about this? What do you think if I keep it as a kind of display?

 

[Iollain]

I would keep it and call it the 'dude made of yarn' instead. It's cute, looks like a cat toy.

 

[Iollain]

You could call it Eh7 and make it little $100 bills maybe? hehe

My opinion is simple: throw it away.

Probably it is an overmuch solution, but why keep it instead of a good icon or cross?

And if you like it because it is 'vodoo', you shall throw it away.

GET RID OF IT! Do not regift it to someone else. Say thanks for the thought, but GET RID OF IT! Satan is incidous, he comes into places by small things. GET RID OF IT

I've no idea of what the vodoo is, but is it is something even slightly tied to something magic, you SHALL get rid of it as soon as possible.

Do not play with such things


A rethoric question...is it usefull for your christian life?

 

[JoyforJESUS]

voodoo is a witchcraft based religion, that can pull you into satanic practices (although there are those that will disagree with me.) if youwant more information go to: http://www.swagga.com/voodoo.htm

It is nothing to mess with, and is against God centered faith.

Throw it out...without a question. Look it up...I think you will see why you should trash it when you understand what it is for...

It's not like it's an actual voodoo doll. Is it?

 

[Peaceful Dove]

Burn it. Don't throw it anywhere. Burn it up.
You have no idea what sort of background it had before your friend got her/his hands on it.
I will pray for you, your friend and anyone else that has handled it.
I have lived too many years and have seen too many things to be brush this off, casually. Voodoo is witchcraft, black magic. In other words it is satanic.
Burn it.

That doesn't look like a voodoo doll. Plus a voodoo doll isn't a voodoo doll unless it's used for voodoo. You would need some possesion of the person for which you are doing voodoo on.
