The intent matters when celebrating a holiday. One person celebrates halloween as an excuse to get free candy and wear silly costumes with no meaning beyond that. The other celebrates the spiritual origins of it. They're celebrating two different holidays. Pray this prayer to blind Satan: [link to flameoflove.us (secure)] |

I don't know really any adults who are into halloween, well 1 but he gets his place all decorated up for his kids. Most adults aren't into it OP other than for their kids. Of course Christ would condemn it, it is clearly an evil holiday. Any Christian who would say otherwise as that "new fangled" style of christianity, you know the one without Christ where they make their own rules to suite themselves. |

In the city I have lived in for 39 years, it is HUGE with adults.....the parties are not one's that include children and most of the homes are decorated without the residence of children....each year it becomes more and more pronounced.... |

Parents teach their children that extortion of their neighbours is fun. Disguise yourself and say. "Trick... or treat" Pretty much the same MO as holding up a 7-11. Innocent fun.

Iniquity must be destroyed. Is this holiday, not celebrated all over the globe? The story goes deeper, Genesis sheds light on it.....the unfaithful demons came to earth and had unnatural relations with human women, the result was the Nephelim, half human, half demon offspring, which caused a rapid increase of violence on the earth, the flood destroyed both unfaithful humans and the offspring of the demons...the Nephelim.... "Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the [true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose. 3 After that Jehovah said: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Neph′i·lim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the [true] God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame. 5 Consequently Jehovah saw that the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time. 6 And Jehovah felt regrets that he had made men in the earth, and he felt hurt at his heart. 7 So Jehovah said: “I am going to wipe men whom I have created off the surface of the ground, from man to domestic animal, to moving animal and to flying creature of the heavens, because I do regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. 9 This is the history of Noah. Noah was a righteous man. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries. Noah walked with the [true] God. 10 In time Noah became father to three sons, Shem, Ham and Ja′pheth. 11 And the earth came to be ruined in the sight of the [true] God and the earth became filled with violence. 12 So God saw the earth and, look! it was ruined, because all flesh had ruined its way on the earth."- Genesis 6:1-12 |

Halloween is what pagans believe to be the best time to talk to the dead. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72344743 Do you still think it's innocent? Never thought it was innocent, but many do.....

If you are brave enough to read it and really concerned about children then just go to jwfacts.com and that should keep you busy for awhile. Make sure to turn in your service hours after reading and posting back to me. |

Perfectly innocent for most people. It's about dressing up, getting candy and carving pumpkins. What the weirdos do to celebrate the day is completely different than what normal people do. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |
