I don't know what made me think of this today but,last year my neice and nephue 's youth pastor saw my decorations. he told them that I was EVIL and glorifying the devil's holiday and needed to get right with God! the kids love me and tell me everything people say about my decor. when they told me this ,man was I mad! I just wanted to know If anyone had similar stories.I bet theres a bunch. p.s. I think It's funny now

So sorry about that. If only closed minds came with closed mouths. Wasn't there a little ditty in the bible about judging not lest ye be judged and all that jazz? Sanctimonious much?

I've never had anyone say anything to me, but I do get a number of weird looks when I go on about our Halloween plans.

And it's not like we even sacrifice virgins very often around here... they're so very hard to find nowadays.

That reminds me of a quote:
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

wow! nice quote Frankie's Girl.also, the alter is pretty dry around here too.lol

Had a similar situation happen a few years back, only it was said to my face. I challenged the ignorant so and so to show me any evidence that the devil had anything to do with halloween, or to find anything in my display that was satanic. Then challenged him to do some reserch about the origins of Halloween and told him that when he came back I would accept his appology. The bible thumpin' dumbass never came back. Oh, and to clarify, I am a Christian, and perhaps a bit more educated than their "Youth Pastor".

I agree spookineer. most people who dont'understand the holiday usually are ignorant and uneducated about the oregins.I too am a christian. why can't people just have fun? these values they have bestoed upon theirselfs are out out of date anyway.I wish people (not only the type like in my orgional post) would get their head out of the sand. sorry for my spelling.

I know where the pastor is coming from. A lot of churches have those beliefs about Halloween. I have always thought that if you are going to keep out Halloween decorations, then you must also keep out Christmas decorations. Many of the current day Christmas traditional decorations have just as many pagan origins as Halloween. I mean I've been to churches that felt this way about some aspects of Halloween, but the Sunday night before Christmas they would have a Christmas Program. Afterwards they would go to the dining hall and exchange gifts. They actually had Santa Claus come, and hand out candy canes to the smaller kids. Which I don't have a problem with. However, if you're going to comdemn one holiday why not the others? Some churches just don't get it. I've always decorated for both Holidays equally, and anyone not liking it....oh well.

yep.I decorate all out for christmas and most holidays.

I like the door to door bible peddlers.. the ones to promote their religion. Two years ago we are talking late October, week before Halloween. My house decked to the tilt. Saw a group of people out dropping off flyer's at all my neighbors houses....except mine they avoided my house like the plague.... he cant be cured.

I worry about that type of thinking....my kids have friends at school they'd like to invite to see our haunted house but Im wary of sending an invite for fear of offending someone.

Yep, been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

I just posted earlier in another thread that we have a couple at the end of our street that tells their kids that we are celebrating "Satan's birthday" and they leave every H-ween night and go to a church lock-in. (No doubt to pray for our twisted little souls!) LMAO!
