Moscow Says NO to Halloween
by 
I found this interesing tha In moscow both the Church and school system is banning halloween. Though for different reason, they both agree that the holiday shouldn't be observed. The schools don't like how halloween brings "religious" elements into schools, and the Russian Orthodox Church condemns the holiday for it's glorification of evil spirits.

I used to work with a girl that was Russian Orthodox. Interesting. I didn't no they were against Halloween. She listened to a bunch of evil music, so that didn't make it any more obvious.
yo.. i met this girl two days ago from moscow.. her name Igo Ruschtivitz.. and all she wanted to do was trick or treat. bubby style. poo poo.. pop pop.. la la.. i make no sense. stop reading. you're an idiot. we love life. wooo hooooooooooooooooo
Thai, you really need to not post after you've been drinking :)
I wish drinking was my problem
clearly jen is ALL our problems...
that was NOT very nice
hmm, very interesting. my workmate is russian orthodox & celebrates. i'll have to call her out on this one. hehe
That just makes so much sense and I don't know why normal people can't see it. "Ok..let's worship demons!" Like, when people are informed of what the origins of halloween really are, it should really turn them off to it. Of course, they don't want to deprive their kids of having candy and fun and all..stupid kids.
"...among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through."
"For men will be ... lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,..."
what's funny is that some of my co-workers DO realize it's demonic and even mention it (and some of them claim to be quite religious)but they do it anyway, "for the kids". great, so you are training your kids to love the demons to. it's hard to comprehend they would knowingly participate, but i guess they don't take demons as seriously as we do.
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. Knowing that it's demonic and saying they do it for their kids. That's so nuts. That's being like "oh the candy is poisoned? Oh but the kids really enjoy it sooo..oh well!"
I always like to use this point in service. This is directly from the reasoning book.
(rs p. 181 pars. 2-3 "Holidays" )
"The book The Worship of the Dead points to this origin: "The mythologies of all the ancient nations are interwoven with the events of the Deluge . . . The force of this argument is illustrated by the fact of the observance of a great festival of the dead in commemoration of the event, not only by nations more or less in communication with each other, but by others widely separated, both by the ocean and by centuries of time. This festival is, moreover, held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz., the seventeenth day of the second month-the month nearly corresponding with our November." (London, 1904, Colonel J. Garnier, p. 4) Thus these celebrations actually began with an honoring of people whom God had destroyed because of their badness in Noah's day.-Gen. 6:5-7; 7:11.
Such holidays honoring "spirits of the dead" as if they were alive in another realm are contrary to the Bible's description of death as a state of complete unconsciousness.-Eccl. 9:5, 10; Ps. 146:4."
So this holiday has been promoted by the demons through the centuries to comemorate the death of their children, the Nephilim, who Jehovah destroyed. How sick is that?!!!
THANK YOU for posting that....I need it today. =)
