My parents always just turned out all the lights and hid.
Its funny thinking about how things have changed. Now Halloween is my favorite holiday.
i am watching the movie "the perfect world", and they have a scene of a jw family eating dinner and then the doorbell rings and the mother answers the door with her kids following behind.
she opens the door and there are several costumed children saying "trick of treat".
the jw mother says that they don't participate in such activities.

the wt leadership has hammered into all of it's elders and rank & file's heads, that it is not wise for a man to be alone with a woman he is not married too (adult or young woman... ie 14).
even in congregation sanctioned duties.. so, why, then, do so many service pairings involve just that: a brother alone in the territory (even if it's to make a call) with a sister he's not married to?.
All right then, honeybuns.

I was just trying to figure what type of person you'd be most interested in dating. Chill out, babydoll.

Spike has all the main characteristics of a Batman villian.
it was brought up in another thread that paul got his roman citizenship by serving as a soldier for at least 20 years.
this was the only way a non-italian non-roman born could do it.. i remember an illustration - in one of the big books, like "things in which it is impossible for god to lie" or "life everlasting" where saul of tarsus is pictured holding the robes of those who are stoning christians to death.. he is dressed as a roman soldier with a metal breast plate.
anybody have a scan of this?.
Just some speculation here, but I imagine that the name change from the Hebrew "Saul" to the latin "Paullus" might have been an attempt to appear less Jewish to the non-Jewish people he preached to.
It wouldn't surprise me if Paul faked his citizenship so that he could move about Rome and its provinces preaching unhindered.
