   How interesting, can friend james provide web info in which any church   
   proclaims this day  as a formal observation of the  antics of the "trick/treat   
   doctrines"?  Is there even one example of all churches everywhere at all   
   times in history participating?  If not; this is mere anti-church slander,   
   for which friend james should beg forgiveness, no?   
      
   Friend james do speak to this example; easily found on the web among   
   many others:   
      
   'Christian anti-Halloween party to celebrate Jesus'   
      
   https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/christian-anti-hal   
   oween-party-to-celebrate-jesus>Yes,   
      
   the one day of the year Christians get to support Satan, all with   
   >most churches' blessings.   
   >   
   >Time to esp let the children learn to support Satan also. It's fun.   
   >Break out the skeleton costume, the witches' costume, the devil's   
   >costume, the vampire costume, the voodoo doll costume, the zombie   
   >costume, the ghost sheet, etc.   
   >   
   >This is Satan's house to house work. How many go to the doors dressed   
   >as an angel? Jesus said at Mt 24:14 that a Kingdom message would be   
   >preached to the whole world. JW's do that many ways, esp house to   
   >house, just like Jesus did in the 1st century. So Satan does not want   
   >to be left out of the picture. He has his human  servants   
   >(unknowingly) spread his demonic messages like "TRICK or treat", and   
   >'see my demonic costume'.   
   >   
   >Yes, this is Satan's favorite day. He even gets some people involved   
   >in the black arts.(such as witchcraft, demonology, talking to the   
   >dead, etc) anything to offend our loving God. (1 John 4:8)   
   >   
   >Because of the dangers associated with getting candy from strangers,   
   >some churches have Halloween parties at their church. The demons   
   >should feel right at home there because of the "teachings of demons"   
   >that they regularly do.  (see 1 Tim 4:1-3)   
   >   
   >But no matter what is said, or what Scriptures are quoted, some people   
   >are determined to celebrate Halloween with their children no matter   
   >what. In most cases they see it as harmless fun and are not going to   
   >deprive their children of it.   
   >   
   >But do they want to deprive their children of life eternal? God holds   
   >the parents responsible for their children. So what does that mean?   
   >See for yourself at 1 Cor 7:14.
