  It is the last night of October. By the light of the moon, a small group of costumed figures move from house to house stating their demands with dire threats. Guarding some doorsteps are grimacing pumpkin heads glowing with burning candles made from human fat. Other doors drip with human blood. It is the night of Samhain, Celtic lord of the dead.

Perhaps in no other Christianized celebration does Satan so blatantly honor himself and memorialize his war dead. The writer J. Garnier suggests that celebrations of suffering and death can be traced back to the ancient destruction of all of his human followers, as well as the hybrid sons of fallen angels, at the time of the Flood. Cultures the world over have festivals for the dead, "held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz.,

the seventeenth day of the second month, the month nearly corresponding with our November." The Worship of the Dead, by J. Garnier.

The Druids were no exception. On October 31, Samhain was said to release the spirits of the dead to mingle with the living. Druids roamed the streets with lanterns, and on coming to a house, they demanded money as an offering for Satan.

 Halloween is a major satanic ritual day. "It’s a religious holiday for the underworld, with satanists performing sacrifices and witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead," according to a USA Today  article. It quoted Washington witch Bryan Jordan as saying, "Christians don’t realize it, but they’re celebrating our holiday with us. We like it." Parents, do you want your children imitating these sinister rituals? Agape, Mildred

Are you serious?
 
"witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead" is a "sinister ritual"?
 
Druids and Satan in the same sentence?  Druids don't believe in Satan.
 
Where did you find this ... er .... umm ...stuff.

This post looks more like flame bait than anything else.

I'm curious Mildred... who are you trying to reach with this <ahem> "evangelism"?  The Christians who do social things on October 31, Satanists, or modern-day Druids?  It seems to me you've probably succeeded in insulting all three groups with this jumble of fact and fiction, so if any of them were your target I suspect they aren't listening to you anymore.

Oh, ow, ow it hurts...oh ho....I haven't laughed so much in a long time!!!!!!
 
OK, so much nonsense there it's not even worth starting but just one teensy snippet for your editors:
 
Samhain, pronounced sowen in Irish Gaelic, and savin in Scots Gaelic means "End of Summer". It isn't anyone's name, if it was, I'd know, trust me, I'm a expert on Celtic deities:) At Samhain (the last harvest) the Summer half of the year ends and the Winter half begins. Ta da.
 
My opinion on the commercialised silliness of the modern American Halloween is another matter, and I'll discuss it nearer the time.....

<bangs head, rather loudly and obnoxiously on the wall, next
to Mildred>

this is why I asked of you were joking in the other post...
and this is why we are talking about those that "just don't
get it"

Mildred...this information is soooooo wrong its absolutely
ridiculous..

Also, for many Pagans, Wiccans and other EarthBased folk
this holiday is very sacred.

This smacks of a Chick Tract and we all know that Jack Chick
was completely and absolutely wrong in his knowledge of
other religions.

Mildred... this is the 4th Samhain, or Halloween, if you
prefer that we've known each other.. every year you post
this bullshit and every year you are taught the truth of the
matter, but you continue to disbelieve those that are
speaking the truth.

Now, speaking for myself I've sought to learn and understand
the misunderstanding of YOUR beliefs... yet you choose not
to do the same.

<sigh>

I am personally not offended, but saddened that we've spent
so many seasons and years talking of our beliefs and that
Mildred still thinks that those things are true and that
people that are not JW are still so 'evil'..

If some one else who was not a beloved member of our group,
like a flamer, posted it, I'd laugh it off... <shakes head>

Did this really come from the "onion"????  You can not possibly be serious.  The Christians don't like Halloween because it is virtually the only holiday they could not steal and rewrite for their own uses.  Almost all Christian holidays are taken directly from "pagan" (now meaning anything not Christian)  holidays (holy days).  Even Christmas was ripped off from Mithra.  Mithra was born on 25DEC, his followers called each other brother, the priestly symbols were a staff, a ring, a hat, and a hooked sword, priest were called father.  The sacrament included wine symbolizing blood, bread in small wafers marked with a cross symbolized flesh.  Mithra was worshiped worldwide 3500 years ago.  Many of the Irish saints are versions of the old gods and goddesses.  The list is endless.
 
Many of my friends are Wiccan (even my brother)  None of them I know are Satanist.  Satan is a part of Christianity you know.  Also I think very few Wiccans eat people on a regular basis.  (oh get your mind out of the gutter I don't mean that kind of eat)
 
The silly commercialism of modern Halloween should offend no one.  I'm 35 and will be trick or treating with my kids.  I will be dressed as Death  (gasp) and I hope to get a lot of chocolate!!!!  Lighten people and enjoy life.

Same advice is given round here! Trouble is Marylyn that part of the Samhain celebration is that we fill the place with light! We have candles in all the windows, lanterns on the porch, you name it. It's a festival of light:) Plus now we live in the country we do a HUGE bonfire. Well this year I'll be at Nola's, so my husband can smile, wave and ignore the callers.....

Must be where you live or something Dennis, because around here some Christians do and some don't.  We used to have a bash that the whole town was invited to, though I did ask that people not portray blood, gore or evil when they came.  We served several hundred people throughout the night -- handing out buckets of candy, roasted marshmallows and hot dogs (roasted over a wonderful fire) to invited guests, drop-ins and trick or treaters... guitar music, singing folk songs... maybe a bit of Credence or Tina Turner... It was a lot of fun, and our crowd was probably equally mixed -- Christian and non-christian.  Why, we've even had Buddhists, Sikhs, New Agers, (hmmmm... who else?) join us.  A truly "all-faith" type party : )
 
We stopped having it a couple of years ago because I was too sick to do it.  I've been thinking about a revival though... maybe next year.

Sheesh Mildred... some Christians like red and others like blue.  I don't find differences like which holidays one chooses to recognize to be a lack of unity (unless someone wants to make them that), but rather a diversity caused by different cultures or understanding.  There is unity in recognizing Jesus is Lord, I know because I've found it with many who are very different than I am on various points of our faith.  I don't fight with John about transubstantiation, nor with Karyn about her view on homosexuality; I don't fight with Mary B. over her insistence that if we're sick it's because we aren't walking in "Divine Health", or with Full Cloud or Liz about how they see the Trinity... and I could go on and on, making a list of people here online and in real-time too that I don't dispute doctrine with.  We all agree that Jesus is Lord and that's where true unity is found IMO.    
So do and some don't?? Aren't Christians suppose to be in unity. Something is not right. Agape, Mildred

Well, Mildred... your post invoked a response from me that
rarely happens in this newsgroup.. it was a bold lie,
hurtful and completely bullshit. I calls 'em as I see's

If another JW whom we did not know spewed that garbage, I'd
kindly show them the truth, not that they'd listen to me,
but the fact that you know what you posted is not true,
either that or you either think that the Pagans and Witches
that you know are lying to you or you don't listen to what
we say... something is rotten in Denmark.

I guess I just thought that we'd accomplished things
here... and it made me very sad to see such a slanderous
post by some one who knows better.

I am very aware that we've not reached the 'all faiths
unity' that some of us have been striving for... but this
was a major step back ward.

I wish that you'd do the honorable thing and cancel your

Halloween is to Easter as pumpkins are to rabbits.

  It is the last night of October. By the light of the moon, a small group of costumed figures move from house to house stating their demands with dire threats. Guarding some doorsteps are grimacing pumpkin heads glowing with burning candles made from human fat. Other doors drip with human blood. It is the night of Samhain, Celtic lord of the dead.

Perhaps in no other Christianized celebration does Satan so blatantly honor himself and memorialize his war dead. The writer J. Garnier suggests that celebrations of suffering and death can be traced back to the ancient destruction of all of his human followers, as well as the hybrid sons of fallen angels, at the time of the Flood. Cultures the world over have festivals for the dead, "held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz.,

the seventeenth day of the second month, the month nearly corresponding with our November." The Worship of the Dead, by J. Garnier.

The Druids were no exception. On October 31, Samhain was said to release the spirits of the dead to mingle with the living. Druids roamed the streets with lanterns, and on coming to a house, they demanded money as an offering for Satan.

Halloween is a major satanic ritual day. "It’s a religious holiday for the underworld, with satanists performing sacrifices and witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead," according to a USA Today  article. It quoted Washington witch Bryan Jordan as saying, "Christians don’t realize it, but they’re celebrating our holiday with us. We like it."

OK, so much nonsense there it's not even worth starting but just one teensy snippet for your editors:
 
Samhain, pronounced sowen in Irish Gaelic, and savin in Scots Gaelic means "End of Summer". It isn't anyone's name, if it was, I'd know, trust me, I'm a expert on Celtic deities:) At Samhain (the last harvest) the Summer half of the year ends and the Winter half begins. Ta da.
 
My opinion on the commercialised silliness of the modern American Halloween is another matter, and I'll discuss it nearer the time.....

You are right, all of the holidays that you mention and more comes from pagan origin, that is why some, about 6 million don't celebrate them. Agape, Mildred
Did this really come from the "onion"????  You can not possibly be serious.  The Christians don't like Halloween because it is virtually the only holiday they could not steal and rewrite for their own uses.  Almost all Christian holidays are taken directly from "pagan" (now meaning anything not Christian)  holidays (holy days).  Even Christmas was ripped off from Mithra.  Mithra was born on 25DEC, his followers called each other brother, the priestly symbols were a staff, a ring, a hat, and a hooked sword, priest were called father.  The sacrament included wine symbolizing blood, bread in small wafers marked with a cross symbolized flesh.  Mithra was worshiped worldwide 3500 years ago.  Many of the Irish saints are versions of the old gods and goddesses.  The list is endless.
 
Many of my friends are Wiccan (even my brother)  None of them I know are Satanist.  Satan is a part of Christianity you know.  Also I think very few Wiccans eat people on a regular basis.  (oh get your mind out of the gutter I don't mean that kind of eat)
 
The silly commercialism of modern Halloween should offend no one.  I'm 35 and will be trick or treating with my kids.  I will be dressed as Death  (gasp) and I hope to get a lot of chocolate!!!!  Lighten people and enjoy life.

31...November 1 is All Saints day ( since being set by Pope

originated as a continuation of as memorial to all of the
faithful departed in 998AD by St. Odilo and was formalized
by Rome in the 14th Century.
The only connection between Halloween and All Souls Day is
the fact that All Souls day started as a pious memorial to
those departed who were not recognized, officially, as

Well said......
Sheesh Mildred... some Christians like red and others like blue.  I don't find differences like which holidays one chooses to recognize to be a lack of unity (unless someone wants to make them that), but rather a diversity caused by different cultures or understanding.  There is unity in recognizing Jesus is Lord, I know because I've found it with many who are very different than I am on various points of our faith.  I don't fight with John about transubstantiation, nor with Karyn about her view on homosexuality; I don't fight with Mary B. over her insistence that if we're sick it's because we aren't walking in "Divine Health", or with Full Cloud or Liz about how they see the Trinity... and I could go on and on, making a list of people here online and in real-time too that I don't dispute doctrine with.  We all agree that Jesus is Lord and that's where true unity is found IMO.

I'll leave out the slitting of the babies throats as it kind of wants to
make you throw up.

How do you celebrate Passover ? Killed any lambs lately.

See I don't fear this evil God I find him a pitiful excuse for a being.

This story scared the hell out of me as a kid, but no more.

Now is just a silly tale of a silly God.

But heck that's just my opinion

Did I ever tell you the story about when he lost his temper and killed a
whole lot of people and animals I think it was a flood or something.

I don't understand why one would serve such a blood thrust being, but hey to

We have a neighbour whose church provides a Halloween "alternative". It's a costume party at a local Wesleyan church, where kids get given treats and games, and a bit of Bible study (I can guess which part). Last year my daughter was invited, even though they are fully aware that we are a Pagan family. I phoned and declined the offer very politely but she called
to pick Sian up on Oct 31st anyway. When I reminded her that I had told her Sian was not going she became abusive. I then asked her to leave my property as we were in the middle of a private family Samhain ritual. She has been on my back ever since.

Oh... well, it's not a religious ceremony for us, only a social celebration of the Fall Season : )  I come by it quite naturally, having been raised on a farm where Fall meant that all the crops were in, there was suddenly a huge amount of money in the bank, and everyone actually had some free time to socialize.
 
And... I've never been very fond of the "green witch" thing anyway, so discouraged costumes like that, though a few did pass through as trick-or-treaters.

Sure people have a difference in preference, as a person loves hanging with a certain group more than with another.  Was there a different doctrine with the first century Christians, I think not. God's word said that they were to speak in unity. Paul spoke of a group not believing in the resurrection and said that they should be avoided. Jesus also warn of falsehood that would creep into the Christian congregation. How can ones represent Christianity and speak differently, whom are you to believe? We all can't be right. It should have never been that way. Agape, Mildred

Their parents should either be with them or keep them at home, then they wouldn't have to worry about their kids experiencing something they don't want them to experience.

Happens all the time dear. Imagine if children were removed from their homes because the child services people found copies of the Watchtower in the living room?  One person's idea of what is "acceptable" religion becomes law. The result is oppression.

"Pagan, def.:
1. Polytheistic, recognizing a plurality of divine beings, which may or may not be avatars or other aspects of an underlying unity/duality/trinity etc.
2. View nature as a theophany, a manifestation of divinity, not as a "fallen" creation of the latter.
3. Recognize the female divine principle, called the Goddess (with a capital 'G' to distinguish Her from the many particular goddesses), as well as, or instead of, the male divine principle, the God."

You sure have a funny way of asking someone their opinion. But I'm a patient
sort. Would you genuinely like me to take that essay apart, bit by bit, and
give you the truth?

Are you sure it really happened or was a fairly primitive
way of saying a primitive thing..."Our God protects us when
we are true to him"

You keep letting the story get in the way of the message....

Dennis, why did those accounts take place? They is an
account in the
Hebrew scriptures that one angel killed 185,000 men that
came up
against Israel. Are you sure, that it was more that one, in
Egypt?

Was he not protecting his people? Agape, Mildred

I just reread my post.  I hope it does not sound too anti Christian.  I am not at all anti Christian I am just tired of hearing the same load of crap every Halloween.  Lets just all go trick or treating together so I can talk you out of your chocolate.
