   We have asked friend james several times now to specify the rligious   
   observation/rituals churches use to "celebrate" "trick or treat".   
      
   He can only provide examples of a few churches who have a party for   
   children in substitution.  That is *not* a religious observation/ritual by   
   and possible of word dancing to make it so.  The parties are done to draw   
   children's attention away from the secular event to make sure it is *not* a   
   celebration of that event.   
      
   Of course in all charity we welcome an example of a churches religious   
   observation/ritual he in desperation is trying to pull that jw vatican   
   rabbit from the jw vaticn's hat.  But alas, the jw vatican ejoys the.   
   slander of the subject line too much to let it go.   
      
   Friend james can do us a favor, ask at the "hall" to ssee if he can have   
   the benefit of a group's info.  He can ask for a show of hands to let us   
   know the results.
