October 31, 2010 journal, Halloween is a day of the devil, Protestant churches approve. Halloween almost equals Christmas in terms of sales. It is Catholic created basically like the day of the dead. I quote the history of Halloween from the website Wikipedia which is a fairly reliable source. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, on this dreadful day. God help any creature that endorses Halloween because it is a manifestation of real evil. The Harry Potter book series is basically an extension of Halloween with witches and the whole lot of demonic images. Do you poison a child with this hellish Antichrist imagery? Entire cities are terrorized on Halloween night, long have been this demonic celebration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween "Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, primarily in the United States , Canada , Ireland , & the United Kingdom . It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day , but is today largely a secular celebration. Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating , wearing costumes and attending costume parties , carving jack-o'-lanterns , ghost tours , bonfires , apple bobbing , visiting haunted attractions , committing pranks , telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films . Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Hallo-ween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona , the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia , it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain , whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".[1] The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".[1] A similar festival was held by the ancient Britons and is known as Calan Gaeaf (pronounc The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes[2] regarded as the "Celtic New Year".[3] The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home while harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks . Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces.[4][5] Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.[6] Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual. Another common practice was divination , which often involved the use of food and drink. The name 'Halloween' and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.[7][8][9] Origin of name-The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Up through the early 20th century, the spelling "Hallowe'en" was frequently used, eliding the "v" and shortening the word. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra h?lgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556".[10] Symbols-read on- I do not believe the latest scenario other than it was planted by the Black Ops to keep fear rolling strong and hot may be to start another war. Everybody knows that Iran is to blame because that's what the Zionist press has told them. Yemen addressed package to a Jewish synagogue is a dead giveaway that any fifth grader could see is being too obvious to miss. I was told of a young girl who asked her mama her age and weight but was told that is not nice to ask the lady those questions. Her schoolmate then told her to look on her drivers license and she did then she told her mama, I know how old and fat you are and why you and Daddy got a divorce. Her mama asked how, your license says you got an F in sex. Case in point, why did we ever let government pull this on us to wear all this information around our necks to prove who we are and to scrutinize us by daily. I weigh 170 pounds. When I applied for driver license renewal the first question is what race are you? If I say white, that is a leper. If I say black I am not. I really do not know how to accurately say or describe my skin color except flesh color but there is no check for flesh on the form. I thought we were long past race but this is race discrimination by separation for sure and bad as riding with an Arab in Jerusalem having an Israeli soldier stick a gun in your face. Another booming business on the horizon is to be a security agency contractor of fear. Indianapolis "Armed security guards will be on hand at 36 unemployment offices around Indiana in what state officials said is a step to improve safety and make branch security more consistent. No specific incidents prompted the action, Department of Workforce Development spokesman Lotter told Norman Cox . Lotter said the agency is merely being cautious with the approach of an early-December deadline when thousands of Indiana residents could see their unemployment benefits end after exhausting the maximum 99 weeks provided through multiple federal extension periods. "Given the upcoming expiration of the federal extensions and the increased stress on some of the unemployed, we thought added security would provide an extra level of protection for our employees and clients," he said. Some offices have had guards for nearly two years but those guards were hired on a regional basis, meaning some offices had armed guards while others did not, Lotter said. The cost of the armed guards varies dramatically around the state. Lotter said the agency is trying to be more consistent and that it plans to employ armed guards in all 36 offices where unemployment insurance benefits are handled. The overall cost for the security is $1 million, paid for with federal funds designated for administration of the unemployment system, Lotter said. Other agency offices that provide job training or are not full-service branches will continue to have unarmed guards. Lotter said state employees in the affected offices have also recently gone through stress-management training in which they learn how to respond appropriately to angry clients. "This is a stressful time for people in the economy," he said. "That's why we're not only taking this step (of hiring guards), but we're increasing our training for our staff to be able to help people as they're trying to cope with change."
