Thanks sear
I can think of nothing harder than changing a digital clock or winding that little knob in the back of another clock. I will get to it but for now I am on the remember method.

I am confused I thought only we people in the UK turned back our clocks?
But sadly it now appears the Catholic Church has put the dampers on celebrating Halloween. It appears they are concerned that people will start to re-live the Pagan Practise's which could lead to the worship of "things that go bump in the night". This I feel in turn could see some start to worship Politicans, who by their actions must be seen as belonging to a Pagan society.

"I am on the remember method. You're right Grace. The Spring time change is a breeze with digital clocks. It's a little more tedious to accommodate the Autumn time change Grace. No worries. It only happens once a year. Wolf, regarding Catholics / Halloween, the U.S. had a fluff-up about it a few years ago. It seems some objected to Christmas, because of the weak Christian undertones. The complaint was, public school students were allowed to celebrate Halloween at school, but not Christmas (in some places). I'm a bit with the Catholics on this one. Halloween does seem rather Satanic to me. But let the world do as it wishes. |

Sear what I have always found interesting, early Christens, used the dates like Christmas and Halloween, so as to not cause upset when trying to spread the
word as to turning to the Christen belief. Now for those of today to start to reverse that connivance and Trend. seems a little Hypocritical.
But if we are going to suggest that the Catholic Church in general are guarding us against forces who might try to turn us, surely their first port of call would be to examine some Politician's who can easily fool people as would a Warlock or Witch.

You're not the first to have noticed the similarities Wolf.
About 20 years ago I'd been watching TV. There was a demonic scene with a bunch of whatever (devil worshipers, Satanists, who knows) in ceremony. They were murmuring in unison. Kind of unsettling. A few days later I ended up with a friend, in her church, for Easter (or whatever it was). And the murmurings were there again. Uh oh. Except for funerals, that was the last time I remember going to church.

I think Sear, you may have answered the question when you spoke of "They were murmuring in unison. ". That would suggest some form of Brain washing,
so we get people into a Hyped state, we then 'feed' then the discipline of our particular belief, and Hay presto, we have a willing bunch of recruits.
And that is how Politicians get voted in.
But I have noticed that all persons who wish to "Take the faith of Satan", always do it at night. May be they so dam ugly only at night can they get near others.

"our particular belief" Wolf That's the bottom line Wolf. They're ALL belief systems. Religions such as Christianity, and that of a manifest Satan are both beliefs in the supernatural. I may prefer one over the other. But structurally, I'm not sure there's that much difference between them. |

They're ALL belief systems. Religions such as Christianity, and that of a manifest Satan are both beliefs in the supernatural. Sear But Sear, each and every Preacher, or Cleric, needs a Satan or the like. If we had no one to compere, how would we know that the good one was right and we were to follow. If suddenly we saw Satan as the giver of Pleasure but we are told by the other, if we followed him we spend the rest of eternity in Hell how would we know. So do we wear the Hair shirt, take the road in rough cloth cloths, or drive in Satan's nice new car. It's all done to making us feel good when we look like crap. Satan, God, they are all the same, but we chose the light rather then the darkness, again that could be that those who don't look good in Halos are better suited to wear Folk tails.
I think it's called Conditioning. |

Yeah.
I never found Satan a particularly persuasive selling point for religion. Do you suppose I'm in Satan's limo? |

This I feel in turn could see some start to worship Politicans, who by their actions must be seen as belonging to a Pagan society Wolf2UKI have friends and some relatives that believe that way. I just think of Halloween as a time for children to dress up and have fun. Over at Mac's board for Halloween they showed some really great decorated houses and I personally saw a lot of talent in them. Satins limo? sear I really doubt it.

Grace 6 Exactly Grace, it's just fun and a chance for Kids to dress up. Church Leaders, are like your long ago Communist Hunter, looking for Reds under the bed. Sear in Satan's Limo, no way, Satan would never stay in the Limo, Sear would start to convert him.

Sear/Satan/limo and conversion......."well, Scratch, I'd been meaning to talk to you about.........."
Halloween/Kids......why some folks go there.....attempt to put a negative spin on a night for kids. A time for kids to make believe, let their imaginations go/soar. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away... |

A time for kids to make believe, let their imaginations go/soar. Luck of the Draw Totally agree, Kids work out their own ways if left without outside interference, however we have to be a little careful, just in case there is any truth behind "you be bad and the Boggy man will get you".

"Sear would start to convert him." Wolf To an @TRT member? Posting under the pseud "Satan666"? Visit often. Post a lot. Cast no spells? And Wolf, after reading your post, I'm inspired to wonder; what ever happened to the boogy woman? Why the devil is she not after me?! LotD, I wonder. Is Halloween as we practiced it as children an unworkable anachronism in the 3rd millennium? In the '50's & '60's when I was a child, neighbors knew neighbors. But accepting food from strangers is potentially perilous from the start. And sending our children out for this purpose simply compounds the risks. And even at its best, it's bad for the kids!! A sack full of chocolate bars is not going to benefit such children. I confess my own nostalgic sense of loss of that more innocent time. But what's more important? My sense of nostalgic loss? Or the welfare of a nation's children? |

Why the devil is she not after me?! Sear You don't want to know, your far to good to mess with a 'Boogy women'. Because I Care for your welfare, if one attempts to interfere, send her to me and I will sacrifice my all to save you from a fate worst then death.
As for the thought behind Boogy persons, like all past ages when Priest's or the like kept people under control, how easy it was to 'rant and rave' as to the sinners will get theirs if they don't toe the line. And as an added inducement, when the Thunder rolled, to tell those who were by this time spell bound and looking for witches and Boogy men under the bed, "Behold Sinners the Lord is angry and will smite you down if you sin". It's all done now by mirrors but the same thought goes behind making people fear the un-known, and keeping them that way, so as to be controled . Why we even get Presidents and Prime Minst. Praying togather, and look what happened.

And the problem with nostalgia is what? Do we not have a need for memories and they can be a good thing? An evening for children to have some fun let...... their imaginations soar. The candy not the big a deal really. What sort of message do we send nowdays....fear/distrust and someone wishing to hurt you. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away... |

I just remembered this and it so fits your quote above. I believe it was LV (Lady Valor) that showed us all. I don't know if you were here Wolf. It was even made into a Movie. All these little kids at a 'Jesus Camp' I found it all deeply disturbing and to think it goes on. I am going to archive back and see if I can find it. These young children and young teens 'talking in tongues' and lots of things. A female Minister was teaching them, and they talked of going to 'War' for George Bush or Jesus. I think they believed one in the same. What disturbed me most was a cut out cardboard likeness of G Bush and this Minister having all these young people go up and touch it and pray around it. I saw enough of those terrifying churches growing up. In the film this Minister had a 5 y/o crying and begging to be saved because she had told him he was going to 'Hell' for eating an Oreo cookie. They said later they closed all the 'Jesus Camps' down but I somehow doubt it. (They are just remaining quiet with the same teachings. Oh Six |
