Pastor Fights Halloween With Jesusween
Some evangelicals believe Halloween is the work of Satan. Thus, the creation of Jesusween.
Click here for reuse options!Pastor Paul Ade in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, came up with an alternative: JesusWeen, also known as Jesus Win.
Ade claims he got the idea from God when he passed out copies of the New Testament to children who came trick-or-treating to his home for candy on Halloween, notes Religion News Service.
The Halloween substitute has become a “global initiative to ensure non-Christians receive educational materials about Jesus,” states the JesusWeen website.

Instead of handing out candy, participants will shower the kids with holy water and distribute Hostia to the trick-or-treaters.
William October 31st, 2015 at 15:09
Giving candy just encourages a dependency nanny state.

badum tssss

I guess Pastor Ade doesn’t realize that Halloween is a contraction of “All Hallow Eve” or “hallowed evening.” The next day, November 1st, is called All Saints Day. Thus, the hallowed eve.
As usual, the ignorant and resentful don’t understand.
Larry Schmitt October 31st, 2015 at 15:41
This is his “explanation.” “The dictionary meaning of Ween is to expect, think or believe.” But as you point out, he completely misses the origin of the word Halloween. He’s trying to make something out of nothing.

What would I rather have New Testament or rocks in lieu of candy? Decisions, decisions.

You can throw the rocks back, aye!
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 19:25
I’ve lived in some neighborhoods where “I got a rock” meant something entirely different…

Drop the glass tube and step away slowly~!

“I got a rock”..
The memories~!

Trick is is for these idiots
Snick1946 October 31st, 2015 at 17:17
This clown gave kids copies of scripture instead of Candy? Bet that was appreciated.
Some of those Bibles are printed on real thin paper- you can roll your own with them…
Larry Schmitt October 31st, 2015 at 17:58
You’ll get almost as high as the author was when he wrote it.
alpacadaddy October 31st, 2015 at 19:28
ooh, ZING!
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 19:35
We once used Jack Chick tracts as rolling papers…I’ll wave to you from the upper dais in Hell!
DogsRgoodpeople October 31st, 2015 at 18:16
Religious rightists have zero sense of humor or creativity.
whatthe46 October 31st, 2015 at 19:40
well, they are creative in how to create more stupid s*it!

“Ade claims he got the idea from God when he passed out copies of the New

His home is easy to find. Just look for the house buried under millions of rotten eggs and a mountain of TP before dawn on Nov. 1st.
Charlie Seivard October 31st, 2015 at 18:37
He could fight ignorance by keeping his foolish thoughts to himself. If Halloween endangers a person’s faith they need to seriously examine their faith not Halloween.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 19:32
Wait a minnit, wait a minnit…
Jesus came back from the dead (zombie), His Father has killed more people than anyone ever(excluding Deadpool {“Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe“..or maybe not; metaphysics and “world-as-myth” were never my strong suits}, his followers will stop at nothing to bring about the end of the world (as we know it) for their own pleasure and glory…
Halloween should be these people’s time to shine! I can’t think of ANYTHING more terrifying than an actual God and His fanatical devotees…
(Not to mention the whole “Hell” thingie…)

Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:39
(I miss Ratt…rescued her from under a palmetto when her mother was moving the kittens; biking back from the store, heard a ‘meeee’…investigated and this little grey kitteh looked at me and said “There’s possums ‘n stuff…I’m scared. Can I come home with you, pleez?”)
I will NEVER forgive Laura for putting her in the ASPCA.
Tommie October 31st, 2015 at 21:33
Whoa, that’s scary, haha!

And in December will he have a rant against Christmas trees (a pagan symbol)
FatRat October 31st, 2015 at 20:31
And don’t forget the Yule Log.

katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 20:57
As for candy, I’m wondering….WWJG…What Would Jesus Give?
Probably those big ass candy bars and lots of Reese’s Cups.
JC’s cool like dat.
Pssssst….the latter are my favorite.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 20:59
Did you know that mini-mounds pair nicely with a stout?
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:08
Actually,any dark chocolate…
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 21:23
Didn’t know that. You can keep the Mounds, I’ll take the Guiness….sláinte mhaith mo cara.
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 21:28
I like the band Sláinte Mhaith (and how the hell is that pronounced “slawncha va”????) Gaelic, where the spelling is only a vague approximation of how it’s pronounced.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:30
If you drink enough, nobody notices the pronunciation…
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 21:47
The Irish – Great Thinkers and Great Drinkers – piss-poor pronouncers…
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:52
bímis ar meisce
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 21:55
I’ll quaff a root beer… I’m recovering Irish.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:57
One step at a time…
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 21:51
Yes, or you can just say slan to cut it short.
I heard that the Irish intentionally kept the language non-phonetic to keep the Vikings from learning it.
It worked.
I studied on and off for a few years…it does do your head in if you try to do it on a long term basis….well, for me anyway.
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 21:57
Yeah, but the Vikings came up with Icelandic… Makes Gaelic seem like pig-Latin.
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 21:58
Either way, can be a daunting language to learn.
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 22:04
Hell, English is a challenge for me a lot of times. And that the only one I’ve learned. I’m monolingual… but a cunning linguist.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:06
A master of many tongues…
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 22:08
And a Jack of none… wait, that doesn’t seem right.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:13
First two decades of the century, and you want things to “seem right”?
Oh,b….what I could teach you…
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 22:31
Hi beat me to it!
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:58
:P
Gotta get up pretty early in the morning…
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 23:00
I do and stuff still burns rubber before me.
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 22:29
I’ve heard that about you too!
I have trouble speaking period…and can’t find my ass with both hands most of the time either.
I have word aphasia and I go back and forth btwn English and Spanish….then there are words I can’t remember in either language so I substitute ’em.
Damned good thing those around me know what the hell I’m talking about and what’s going on.
bpollen October 31st, 2015 at 22:48
I’m the guy who has to turn to his wife and ask “What the hell did they say?”
bushputz October 31st, 2015 at 21:39
WWJG?
Screw that. You’d end up with loaves and fishes…
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 21:46
I’d rather fish and chips w/lots of malted vinegar.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:48
I thought I was the sole reason that Long Johns still stocked that…
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 21:57
I miss LJS…none up here in the PNW that I know of….chains that are mostly east coast based usually are around military bases here…..not gonna travel 50 miles + for a piece of fish….too many other local places w/good seafood.
5 Guys has malt vinegar too!
Too bad they don’t have a kids size fries, even the small is a lotta spuds.
I must say, they do a pretty good grilled cheese sammie there, esp. when you put grilled onions and mushrooms on it.
Funny, the receipt had shrooms printed on it….I was kinda looking forward to a mind bending afternoon.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:04
:)
Favorite was the “Florida Burger”, served dockside at Mayport,Florida,USA (USN, sorry, we had our places):
:Butter-grilled onions and mushrooms, sour cream, and a 1/3rd pound all-beef patty…
Heaven.
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 22:22
I was at NAS Jax, I don’t recall any good burgers in the area….but I do remember getting drunker than hell then sick as a dog at a local restaurant and loosing everything onto my platter of pancakes and ham.
We were at opposite ends of the place…we’d go to Mayport now and then ‘cos one of the girls in the squadron was seeing a guy there.
Hell, seemed like we hadda pack two lunches each for the ride there.
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:56
Ah.
Officer material.
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 23:05
Pffft….not likely, lucky I was enlisted material as it was…a non-conformist in the military, I still shake my head at that one.
I must say though, I never ever had to go before the CO nor XO for anything.
Well, before the XO about something someone else did….like a big knuckledragger beating the shit out of his gf out on the flight line in front of me and 6 others who were too afraid of the asshole to do or say anything.
I got my ass chewed out royally by the XO and not a damned thing was done to him.
It was and still is and probably always be a good old boys club…well, all branches for that matter.
granpa.usthai November 1st, 2015 at 01:20
Jesus could have given every kid in town a bag full of Reese’s Cups from just a handful of Hershey’s Kisses (my favorites – it’s the only kisses I can get sometimes)
katkelly57 November 1st, 2015 at 01:59
Well here’s a https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f106c8dc485440544dc20d818495bb60d16100174b4d3d53c6ff8a83edb2500f.jpg for ya…..

What the hell is this? Gimme a Snickers, a Mallomar, something…

At least some money for UNICEF

Funny how people are upset about a holiday started by Catholics!
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 21:29
We wouldn’t want people to think that we were easily-impressed bumpkins at one time, would we?
pignose4.0 October 31st, 2015 at 21:40
the kids probably chucked those uneatable books into the first bush they came to.
Darksnark October 31st, 2015 at 22:19
Religious literature instead of candy for the kids on Halloween?
And this doofus Bible-thumper probably wonders why so many people have negative opinions about Evangelical Christians….
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:25
They’ll look back in 40 years or so and say “Gosh,that was a turning point in my life…it was THEN that I chose to despise religion trying to control my destiny!”
Or, at least, one would hope.
Darksnark October 31st, 2015 at 22:27
In any case, there’ll probably be little copies of the New Testament littering the sidewalks in his neighborhood….
Hirightnow October 31st, 2015 at 22:30
Along with discarded Reese’s wrappers…both culturally significant
katkelly57 October 31st, 2015 at 22:34
The kids should gather all of those NT’s, put ’em in a bag, put it on his doorstep, light it up with a few M-80’s and ring his doorbell, then run like hell!
If they can find some dog poop, even bettah!
granpa.usthai November 1st, 2015 at 01:13
they wouldn’t even toss in a lousey gum drop with the book?
Sea Stories November 1st, 2015 at 07:30
The cost of the religious indoctrination/brainwashing paraphernalia is tax deductible. Not so for the candy.
Dwendt44 November 1st, 2015 at 12:37
If it’s copies of Leviticus, at least is pretty scary.
rg9rts October 31st, 2015 at 22:36
