   Absolutely did not happen,ie. one example of the kind of religious   
   observation/ritual such as with easter and christmas was *not* provided.   
   Poof goes a Delicious bit of jw vatican slander/fairy tale.   
      
   You merely plugged in the jw vatican assertion/slander in the form of   
   noteing that some churches have a party for children to substitute for the   
   secular event of the "trick or treat" event.  The party didn't hapen among   
   the pews with religious music/sermon/etc. as is the rule for a religious   
   observation/ritual as requested above.  btw, given the many required   
   meetings at a jw "hall"; chances that every year one happens on the "trick   
   or treat" event.  It " absolutely *does* have religious observation/ritual   
   in the meeting on that day .
