Halloween

HALLOWEEN EMPHASIZES THE OCCULT

Halloween is harmful because it lures people into the occult. Many children are introduced to cultic practices at Halloween parties. I first learned about the occult at a Halloween party as a teenager. Many kids get their first exposure to cultic horror movies at Halloween parties.

After the initial exposure to the occult some children are attracted to the occult because of the power it offers them.

Others see it as the ultimate means of rebelling

against their parents or other authorities.

We must refuse to PARTISIPATE in a holiday that is totally of demonic origins and represents a celebration of evil.

It’s not the day that is evil but the “holiday”.

Ephesians 5:11 "...have NO fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (expose) them."

•Other things that lure children into the occult --

1. Black & heavy metal music

2. Fantasy Role playing games

3. Slasher/horror movies & sadistic pornography

4. Reading occult & satanic literature

People who would not ever involve themselves with the occult at any other time will experiment at Halloween parties with séances, Ouija boards, levitation,

rituals and ritual sex.

Did you know that Devil's Night (the night before Halloween) is the worst night of the year for

ARSON FIRES? In Detroit, Michigan in 1983, 450 fires were set by pranksters.

To add to the trauma, more personal property is defaced and public buildings damaged at this time than any other time of the year. Law enforcement officials have told me that grave yard desecration is becoming a real problem at Halloween.

What about Trick-or-Treat? In Milwaukee, Wisconsin hospitals x-ray candy received while "begging"

to be sure no foreign objects, like pins or razor blades,

were in the goodies.

Malicious Halloween pranks even kill people, like the lady who had a pumpkin dropped on her car from an overpass.

It went through her window and caused her death.

Let me conclude this section by telling you of a recent videotaped interview that we did with a Wisconsin policeman. He told us of a woman who had come to them and reported that her two children had been sacrificed

in Satanic Halloween rituals. She was an occult member

and wanted out of the group.

Halloween is a sinister day with cultic roots. As we move along in the last days an increasing number of people are realizing that Halloween is a pagan worship day. It is day that honors false gods, demons and Satan. I have no desire to enter into the worship of false gods nor honor the devil.

I hope after considering this study you will agree and decide NOT TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN.
