I know, it's Charisma... But he's a friend of mine and his thoughts are interesting.

I can't argue that because it is a personal thing with me I guess. It is what is in the heart that counts.

Re: Apostolics and Halloween
It is indeed good that some do not engage in Halloween.
however I feel that not engaging in something is not enough, that is passivity.
It is not enough that we do not engage in Halloween, we need to actively oppose something by taking action.
not participating in Halloween might make you feel great but it does absolutely nothing to confront this evil and eventually destroy it.
we need to actively find ways to undermine Halloween, not just simply abstain from participating in it.
all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to simply step aside and evil unopposed will triumph.
Of course not participating in evil is a good first step, but what is your next step after that?

I prefer to know that the church people are actually in a harvest festival enjoying themselves rather than being depressed about not being able to go out there and have some fun.
Lots of churches in my area understand what I am saying, or think along the same lines, that is why they prefer to hold harvest festivals.

My kids don't sneak out of the house. They are also more anti-halloween than I am. It is not my place to "make sure" other people's kids are not sneaking out of the house.
A "fall festival" celebrated at halloween time as an "alternative" is just an alternative halloween celebration
. It's like dropping santa and replacing him with St. Nicholas afaic.
Pagan holy days and catholic feast days are utterly irrelevent to my "calendar".
If Christian youth are depressed because they can't join the world in its nonsense then they probably need to get saved.
