[On all Satanic holy days, there are children that get ritually abused]
There were baby sacrifices going on during Halloween in our region in the 1980s. Mothers would not notify the hospitals they were pregnant, so the births were not registered. The whole thing was kept hush, hush. Horrible.
(The legal arm of baby sacrifices are still being performed through Planned Parenthood.)
Well, since the proper and original name is “All Hallow’s Eve” because it is the evening before All Souls Day, I would think that maybe it could.
Then again, I’m Catholic, so likely an apostate in some folks’ opinion.
You know what they say about opinions, right?
Oops, I made an uh-oh in my reply above. Thanks for the correction.

That never happened despite the rumor mill.
There were day care center owners jailed and bankrupted over the allegations that were flimsy at best involving hypnotism of toddlers by prosecutors.
They were finally absolved after going through their life savings trying to protect themselves. THAT was horrible.
lol...we think a lot alike. I live for pranks.
Don’t forget the swimming in swimming pools - probably worse even that pool halls. You know, men and women swimming together and the women, those harlots, showing their bare shoulders and knees and ankles out in public. They should be jailed for that and burnt as witches just like in the good olde days or as they do today in the Middle East. /s
[[#1 I don’t want anyone in my family to observe a holiday that celebrates death, witchcraft and the occult. This year, millions of Americans will participate in activities that could potentially open up a door for demonic activity.]]
Which is his main reason for not liking the holiday-
But what did the bible have to say about something similar?
The Jews wouldn’t eat meat off of temple alters after meat was sacrificed to other gods
This meat was offered at a greatly reduced price, and many gentiles (or maybe it was other Jews) felt it was fine to buy the cheap meat and save some money
The Jews complained loudly- Paul stepped In and told them not to condemn them for buying the meat and basically told them that the meat ‘wasn’t contaminated with Satanism’ simply because it was offered on an alter to other gods (This was kind of the crux of what he was telling them)
Bottom line is that Christians are NOT dressing up in costumes hoping that Satan or a demon will possess them, nor are they committing their life to Satan simply by going door to door asking for candy. They dress up in costumes because it’s fun and because it’s one night out of the year when they get to have loads of candy
[That never happened despite the rumor mill.]
I was told about the baby sacrifices in our area by the man who was the County Sheriff at the time. My pastor told our congregation about them in a sermon recently. (He was part of the undercover investigation.) Friends of mine were also aware and part of the undercover investigation.
Halloween is anything but happy.
Puritanism is the haunting fear someone,
somewhere, is having a good time.
No candy for him!
The author shows his ignorance in the description of
Buddha as an idol or god also. It’s pathetic when
someone like this speaks without knowledge.

It was all made up.
And your sheriff is trying to scare people into voting for him.
Your pastor might actually believe that garbage or he might be trying to fill his collection plate.
Many innocent people were hurt by that witch hunt.
Good gawd. What ‘region’ did you live in?
I especially didn’t like the four @13 year old boys who showed at our door with their pillowcases for the loot...and when I opened the door one said “Hi”...I just stood there waiting...finally had to tell them to say the magic words...Trick or treat...sheesh...
“Does the celebration of Halloween bring honor and glory to God?”
Oh please lighten up. God has nothing against having fun.
You gotta be careful learning about
the religions of other people. When
their beliefs begin to strike you as
ludicrous, a little voice in the back
of your mind (undoubtedly Satan)
whispers, “What about yours?”
Halloween doesn't conflict me at all.
Candy corn, specifically Brach's Candy Corn, is an item over which I am terribly conflicted. Mine is a one-sided love/hate relationship of nearly 60 years. I love Brach's candy corn so much that if I buy a bag of it, I will eat all of it within 24 hours, and that is why I also hate Brach's candy corn.
[[Does the celebration of Halloween bring honor and glory to God?]]
I understand your concern, but but we must ask
“Did the buying of meat that was offered to idols bring honor and glory to God?” If not, then why did Paul ok it?
“Did Jesus going to an all day drinking party/wedding bring honor and glory to God?” (and no folks, Jesus wasn’t creating grape juice out of water- it was wine- and it was GOOD potent wine- usually in those days, people started out giving people the good wine, because they were still sober, and could appreciate the good wine, but then as they became more drunk the host would trot out the terrible cheaper wine to save money, because the now drunk folks wouldn’t care- but in the wedding Jesus attended, He created GOOD wine AFTER everyone was well drunk, not the cheap stuff He could have created since no one at that point would have known the difference)
Be careful about always asking ‘would it bring honor and glory to God- Because people having fun (or buying meat that was sacrificed to other gods) is obviously something God allows-
IF YOU don’t feel right about it, then it’s wrong for YOU- but it’s not something you should impose on others when it comes to ambiguous issues like this- Clear cut issues like condemning homosexuality, bestiality, speaking with witches etc etc etc- then yeah- you clearly have a case to make about applying ‘is it honoring to God’ because God makes it VERY clear it’s not honoring to Him (and please note, that kids dressing up as frogs or whatever is NOT a case of those kids wishing to speak to witches or satan no more so than people buying meat sacrificed to idols was a case of them wanting to connect with demons, or other gods)
