Halloween, or Hallowe'en (/ÌhælYÈwiÐn, -oŠÈiÐn, ÌhQÐl-/; a contraction of "All Hallows’ Evening"),[5] also known as Allhalloween,[6] All Hallows' Eve,[7] or All Saints' Eve,[8] is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.[10][11] According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals,[1][12] with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain.[7][13][14] Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.[1][15] Since Halloween is a religious function it too should be banned from all schools and government places? Fair is only fair!

18 Reasons Why I Don’t Celebrate Halloween
In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much LOL. Name a "Christ"ian holiday that doesn't have syncretic roots. My favorite is Ishtar-SUN-day.
That would make the JWs happy not having strange kids knocking on their doors...the very thing they do! "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
