It must have been the Baptists, no the Baathist, I always confuse the two. My bad, go on.
ROFL. I was raised in a very large So. Baptist church in Oklahoma. When I was a kid we had Halloween parties at church and even had haunted houses put on by the youth. Something must have happened toward the end of the 70s to make the Baptists go PC or something. They are "all" against celebrating Halloween or something. Now most don't have a problem with participating but definitely don't want to celebrate it at church. That part I can understand. It's those that don't celebrate it at all that I can't figure out especially knowing how it was done back when I was a kid.
