"Halloween...

...witnessing doesn't get any easier.

This year, don't let this wonderful witnessing opportunity slip away. By dropping Chick tracts (and some candy) in Trick-or-Treat bags, you can give hundreds of kids (and their families) the gospel, all without leaving your home. If you like the idea of doing what Jesus would do, here's your chance. "



What Jesus would do?? Seriously? Jesus would trick little kids looking for candy by sneaking some crazy-ass pamphlet in their bag?

Seriously.

Punched in the face.

Yes, I believe Jesus would punch a motherfucker in the face.

My mom leaves church tracts on the table w/ the tip at a restaurant.

When I was a kid, there were the random people leaving those Chick tracts in people's bags. It's not really a new thing, it's just more "popular" every few years.

my mom always put tons of candy in the treat bags along with a plan of salvation card.

WWJD ?

I grew up in an ultra-liberal city, so I've never seen this.

I think it's gross.

I never saw it up north where I grew up but here in the south it's quite common



It's Samhain for petes sake ...ya know

my wedding anniversary is on Halloween. that has no relevance to this thread...or does it?

whistle said:

Depends.

Do you drop copies of your wedding photo into children's treat bags?

whistle said:

P.S. It's totally cool that you got married on Halloween. Did you add any Halloween-themed elements to the wedding?

Mach said:

I'm pretty sure that's why they do it.

We don't march naked into their Easter Mass and perform the Great Rite on the altar, for chrissakes. You respect our holidays, we'll respect yours!

Halloween is kind of a fucked up holiday, when you walk into a space decorated with skulls and bones, but it's just one day, and a lot of fun.

Don't worry, children won't read it. I used to get ones about safety. Fuck that shit, where's my chocolate?

PunkMistress said:

nah, Ms. Whistle likes to hand out all of the things she craves, but her vegan lifestyle won't allow, like Reese's cups.

but back to the topic at hand, i can't stand religion either, but i wouldn't sock anyone on the jaw if they handed my children their literature. i'm sort of meek and passive. not like you.

PunkMistress said:

For real, they could just choose not to participate.

PunkMistress said:

nope. our wedding was boring and unremarkable as you can imagine, apart from the date. i'd like to do it again properly one day...

I love chick tracts just for the sheer lunacy of them. It would be a great treat.

I mean just browse some of these wonderful selections and laugh your ass off.

really, so if someone gives your kids info about Jesus you feel that is grounds to assault them? I assume you are exaggerating.

More like "This can go in the garbage - it's not candy."

ernestsewell said:

Yeah we got them too. We thew them away Or recycled them back into the candy bowl. We would put all the crap back into our bowl.

take them to the hospital and ask them to xray them!

OnlyNDaUsa said:

my point is, they've got it all wrong.

As a kid, Halloween = treats, not comics!

They should be handing out communion crackers instead.

i think i got dental floss once. that irritated me more than any religious rubbish ever could.

whistle said:

Me too! We went to a known dentist to get tooth brushes and floss.

just round all the things up while you're checking your child's candy for razor blades and other dangerous things if you don't want them exposed to it. Don't go to jail over some Hallowe'en trickery.

I guess they got tricks for yo ass.

This kinda makes me want to punch them in the face, too.

whistle said:

exactly!

"This can go in the garbage - it's not candy."

I think I was eventually trained to do this on my own!

Home-made brownie in saran wrap?

Comics?

Floss?

they should make chocolate jesuses and crosses!
