My family stopped doing Halloween (including handing out candy) when the costumes started going from cute to grotesque and people started hiding razorblades in the candy. I saw that someone started a thread awhile back about how bad things have gotten in the past 50 years and Halloween, IMO, is another example.

Got any sources to this urban mythology about razor blades in the candy?

As for carry that is for me to know and the BG's to wonder about!!

Now it is a day to celebrate demons and Satanism. All Hollows Eve was a day of the devil. I don't celebrate those holidays.

If it was near Tulsa and you saw an older guy in a kilt with a big honking sword, again most likely a police officer. They either attend or run most of the events in their areas.

I'm originally from PA, but now live in Lawton in the southwest part of the state.

That is not true.

From History.com when looking up "The history of Halloween":

This ridiculous and incorrect belief that Halloween is some sort of satanic holiday is just silly and is continuously used by various churches to drive the flocks to church.

Halloween is a harmless holiday that children look forward to for the fun and candy. There's nothing wrong with it. I doubt very seriously that Jesus would be upset about kids having fun. I feel pretty sure he is more upset about the many wars that have been started in His name.

I disagree. History Channel could also post some anti-gun stuff, does that mean it is true?

Sorry but I don't feel it is harmless.

As the circle chart below clearly shows, your savior has far more in common with the creatures of the night than you think!
