I am not refering to the spiritual aspect (that is an individuals to decide about). I am refering to the Candy Tester aspect. Where are you getting the idea dangerous candy from? Here is the thing. The idea that there is a history of poisoned candy is an urban legend. In the history of the US there has never been a case of a stranger poisoning children on Holloween. There have been a few cases of parents or family members using the stories of poisoning to cover their own foul deeds. But no examples of strangers poisoning kids out of pure malice. (snopes on the subject http://www.snopes.com/horrors/poison/hallowee.htm ) Its a pity because Holloween is one of our favorite holidays. Its possibly the most communal of holidays as it gets people out and going door to door and meeting each other. Personally I feel it is a vital holiday for this reason alone. To bring people closer together you have to talk to them occaisionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people here will understand what I am talking about. For Christians it is deadly wrong. Your children, grand children and so on, will suffer because of it. But you decide what you need to do.

Guest Called Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I don't dress up in costumes any more. I have changed my evil ways. Now, I just hide behind trees and steal the bags from little kids as they walk by! I have my 12 yr old son in training to get them too! t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a walk-through presentation led by a guide, depicting a contemporary situation. It is put on by the youth in our church and deals with a situation that many young people encounter today, such as drugs/drinking, abortion, suicide, etc. The storyline always involves the death of someone(s) and their eternal destiny because of the choice they made while on earth to either accept or reject Christ. The character that has been in rebellion against God, and even the good person who just never got around to making the decision, end up in Hell. The Christian goes to Heaven. The tour concludes in a scene at the cross, and then an invitation is given. Mr. Biker and I have served as guides and as counselors to anyone who come forward during the invitation. Every year we have 200-300 salvations. Praise God! My church will be presenting "The Choice" this year every night from October 27-31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
