I good question to ask yourself in such situations is What would Jesus have done?
Remembering that Jesus spoke to prostitutes and tax collectors but never got involved with their behaviours. I can easily imagining him playing trick or treat in a truthful, loving and spiritual way, which would have the children aware of what is the righteous way to approach their own behaviours and still have fun.
Being and openly proclaiming to be a Conservative Christian, each year that is where my wife, daughter and I stand. Good post young lady.It's a dark celebration.is where I, my wife and daughter stand.
The dark belongs to satan, not God.
God is light.

No, I wouldn't condemn either but if one is Called Out they are called to be a Peculiar People, different from the World. (1pet 2:9)Like.
Sometimes I wish we proclaimed much more in what we believed.
The JW's don't even allow their kids to go trick or treating.
Some churches don't even speak to this...
It's a shame.
The egg-throwing, the ugly costumes, and worse.
And it's shrugged off as a day for the kids.
Christians should be different from the rest of society, at least in these
circumstances. We give in to the secular world too much.
I'm sure I do it too (not halloween), I'm not condemning anyone...
Just sayin'.
Exactly.No, I wouldn't condemn either but if one is Called Out they are called to be a Peculiar People, different from the World.
For me a time of giving and fun.
Halloween is PLAYTIME.
It's fun stuff.
Trunk or treat, harvest festival, door to door for candy, Charlie Brown cartoons and scary movies full of blood and gore.
My God is greater than any hobgoblin. I'm one of His kids. God is more scary than any demon. Don't upset him by touching me. Although those demons need to be careful around me as well, I know how to use Jesus' name to send them to the pit of Hell.
exactly i suggest if folks love the blood and gore . spend the day with the county cornor view all the tragedies they see every day .then go spend the day with the Embalmer as they prep the bodies and try to make them presentable for viewing it was fun in the 60-70 alsoHalloween was fun stuff back in the 50s not any more ... the gore of today reminds me of aborted babies ... a desensitizing of human life...
