When candy gorged kids heads are spinning, I always thought it was just too much sugar. Now I understand. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't invent M&Ms.
"Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist."
That gives me hope for Scooby Doo and the Harlem Globetrotters.
I missed the sarcasm tag.
“[M]ost of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches,” Daniels wrote.
Is it just me or does Kimberly Daniels have a little too much spare time on her hands?
I will say this again. The Holy Spirit does not make you nuts! With friends like Robertson who needs enemies?
It’s one thing to oppose Halloween on principle that can be backed up but claiming curses and demonic influence can be delivered via candy has no biblical support.
The story is still not there even with your link. Did you actually read it? Not that PR is beyond such, but as it looks you posted that this came from CBN and the link goes to au.org then there’s no story to back it up... so it looks a little odd.
Now I know why I have been feeling a little whacky lately. I admit I broke into the Halloween candy stash. Two Reese’s and two Almond Joy no-fun-size candy bars and I’m ready to go howl at the sorta 2/3rd’s moon. That and my son’s new $5,600 braces bill have me howling. Awwwhoooo!
But, the demonic candy is the best kind!!!
Surely she doesn't think demons are so dense.
A clear case of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
I’ve always been suspicious of nougat — even at other times of the year. It just seems sinister somehow.
I was raised in Pentecostal churches all my life and never once was I not allowed to participate in halloween. This is a bit “o’er the top” IMHO. I understand the dangers are greater as the worldwide communication grows tighter, but kids need halloween as a very good old fashioned release. (not to mention that huge Kroger bag filled with candy) Good Grief.
I think that I shall never see... my feet.
I think it only proper to end this portion of our discussion with a prayer.
Lord, my soul is ripped with riot,
Incited by my wicked diet.
We are what we eat, said a wise old man,
And Lord, if that’s true, I’m a garbage can!
I want to rise on Judgment Day, that’s plain,
But at my present weight, I’ll need a crane!
So grant me strength that I may not fall
Into the clutches of cholesterol.
May my flesh with carrot curls be sated
That my soul may be polyunsaturated.
And show me the light that I may bear witness
To the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.
At oleomargarine I’ll never mutter,
For the road to hell is spread with butter.
And cake is cursed, and cream is awful,
And Satan is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone,
The devil is in each slice of bologna,
Beelzebub is a chocolate drop,
And Lucifer is a lollipop!
Give me this day my daily slice -
But cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my dimpled knees,
Deliver me from Jujubees.
And my when days of trial are done
And my war with malted milks is won,
Let me stand with the saints in heaven
In a shining robe - Size 37!
I can do it, Lord, if you’ll show to me
The virtues of lettuce and celery.
If you’ll teach me the evils of mayonnaise,
The sinfulness of hollandaise
And pasta a la milanese
And potatoes a la lyonaise
And crisp fried chicken from the south!
Lord, if you love me, SHUT MY MOUTH!
—Victor Buono (R.I.P.)
Sounds like the meds ran out down in CBN-land. However, it appears they’ve gotten their refills now and done a bit of website editing. http://www.cbn.com/four0four.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/spirituallife/onlinediscipleship/halloween/halloween_danger_daniels.aspx
The page now reads “We’re sorry, the page you have requested cannot be found. The web page you were attempting to view may not exist or may have moved. Please try checking the web address for typos or you can click here to try searching CBN.com for the content you are looking for. Contact CBN.com technical feedback.”
Of course, maybe the candy demons got mad at the CBNers for exposing their demonic secrets and put a curse on the website. But I’m leaning towards the meds explanation . . .

The same article, "The Danger of Celebrating Halloween," is also available at a site run by some publication called _Charisma Magazine_:
http://www.charismamag.com/index.php/prophetic-insight/23723-the-danger-of-celebrating-halloween
Here's a little more context from the article by Mrs. Daniels:
During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.
Sounds like a Pentecostal riff on the old "poisoned Halloween candy/razor blades in the apple" stories which have been circulating since the 70s.
So that explains why I always get a toothache from Halloween candy.. it was the demons all along!
