How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship? - George Gillespie

Let us, then, as we would show ourselves to be godly, keep close to the rule of worship, and in the things of Jehovah go no further than we can say, 'It is written'.

Give them contaminated candy to teach those heathens a lesson.
Or give them plain ol' candy and Bible tracts (not cheesy KJV ones either).
Or have the outside lights off and ignore them.

Never has happened. I live out in the country. (and this is my second year where I am not at the home I grew up in or in public housing).
But what would I do, probably invite them in, try to find something sweet to give them and tell them the gospel.

Dress up as Martin Luther. When kids come to your door, pull out a long scroll and begin reading the 95 theses. By around the 5th thesis, the kids will run away screaming. All your neighbors will see is kids running from your house screaming and they'll think you must have the scariest costume on the block.

I would probably go to my secret cache of expensive chocolate and give them the best stuff I had. The kid with the Batman outfit would get favoritism, of course.

How about when they say, "Trick or Treat", you say, "Turn or Burn?". If they say turn, you invite them in and share the gospel. If they say burn, slip the picture below into their bag and maybe they'll change their mind for next year.
Puritanboard Senior
All good things to those who waitI'm gagging just looking at your T.D. Jakes avatar. What's wrong. Couldn't you find Benny Hinn or Paul Crouch?Even Hannibal Lechter would gag......
My Reformation day celebration will include deleting the rotation of avatars of those who could .....use a little reformation.
