I have heard the phrase 'plundering the Phillistines' applied to celebrating Halloween. Whatdya think?

I have heard that your posts have jumped the shark.

Fezzik,

Thanks for the response. You have compelled me to learn a new phrase. Interesting. I thought the characterization of 'plundering the Phillistines' was funny. Just trying to spread the joy.

Not sure actually. I take Halloween at face value and always look forward it. Taking the kids thru the pumpkin patch, carving, dressing up and trick or treating. My youngest has a calendar where he has been counting down the days.

All I know is I like Snickers.

All I know is them Philistines better have lots of candy...

I was asked this week by a family relatively new to our church "Pastor, should we let our kids dress up in costume at school next week?"

I told him t was ultimately a family decision; I asked what KIND of costumes... witches, goblins, hatchets in the head ghouls? Sponge Bob? I (personally) don't like to see the dark side glorified, even in fun. But does anyone really think kids are selling their souls to satan if they dress like a cheerleader, take a bag to the mall and get a bunch of free candy?

Off topic, but I don't let my kid watch SpongeBob. He's just too salty (and that's no pun intended). Talking about butts and all. I really don't want my kid saying that stuff (if she does, she'll get it from me and I take full blame for it, but I can't control what SB says).

I thought ALL kids talked about butts and all... boogers, snot, puke... and, for me, the word "butt" is the least objectionable alternative to what I hear tiny kids here saying.

But, this is my sweetie-bear! And, she talks about it, for sure. We all just get a big hoot from poots and what not.

All I know is I'm dressing up as N.T. Wright. If others can act like him, why can't I?

You've got way too much hair. I'll bet you don't have one of those nifty collars.

Mr. Danger, did you know she was wearing this tomorrow night??

We don't partake in Halloween, I'm a bad parent
