It is mainly the Jehovah's Witnesses that do not like Halloween because, they say, it is because it is a pagan holiday. The real reason is because they don't like random people knocking on their doors.

I wished Christians who hate Halloween would hate Christmas and Easter for the exact same reason. My mother is SO AGAINST Catholics as if they were a curse upon the Earth, but I keep reminding her of the fact that SHE IS CATHOLIC. A Protestant who follows what is wholly Catholic in that Catholic have their own laws and ways with their own pagan feasts IS Proving the Catholic church to be their one and only authority, and no Christian who keeps Christmas or Easter could possibly judge anyone for keeping Halloween, Halloween is no less or no more that Christmas and Easter is Pagan. It's like those Christian lawyers who are supposedly fighting for God when they sue the courts to keep the ten commandments up, and all the people supporting and paying the lawyers to do this, they don't believe in the ten commandments, they prove this by Sunday worship.

Did you know that every Jew represents a personal savior to every Gentile?


At the mountain of God the priests became personal saviors to each first born, and then this concept evolved to show every single Jew being appointed to stand for many Gentiles because there are more Gentiles than Jews. Each Jew was appointed ten Gentiles from every nation, but this only means that each Jew is appointed his own congregation because the have ten people is the have your own personal congregation and one Jew will redeem as many Gentiles are appointed for each Jew. Jesus speaking as a lamb saying,'' Eat of my flesh,'' was no new thing.

Ok.
How is pointing out sin condemning people? Have you not read that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Would not a good neighbor warn his fellow neighbors of this? With regard to the megaphones, Jesus said:

Matthew 10:27
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
