Witnessing on the streets on Halloween. Like, we will just walk along with the rest of the crowd and hand out treat bags that will include some Christian material. I am really thinking about doing this. It will be me, my 2 year old son and a dear friend of mine. My spouse will more than likely be working, but it would be good to have a man with us lol. Would it be too dangerous to do this with just us women?
I looked on the Chick website recently and apparently you have to pay a bundle to get the tracts shipped to you by Halloween. We can't really afford it, so I am going to try to find a Christian book store around here that sells Tracts or something. I know, I know, I shouldn't have thought this up at the last minute, but I just feel a tugging on my heart to start a different tradition for Halloween as I am really feeling led to opt out of the celebration of this Holiday.

No! It's too dangerous for just you women to leave the house at all this fall! For the love of allah, DON'T DO IT! Stay inside where it's nice and warm and make dinner for your man when he finally comes home from "work" (wink,wink).
Crazy bitch...that tugging you feel is the stupid coursing through your fat-clogged veins.
Yeah, I guess you can't get much scarier than a crazed cult leader who came back from the dead.

If you dressed like that and carried Chick tracts I imagine most people would chuck candy at you just to make you go away!

You poor woman. You do not need a man to escort you around. And this is coming from a man. Of course though the kids will be mighty pissed when you give them a Chick tract instead of candy and then the parents of said kids might be upset that you are trying to convert them. Don't be surprised if eggs are thrown at your house.

Jack Chick may say he's not in it for the money but that's a lie, how else can he afford to keep the server running or live in something other than a car? Plan and simple is that he is. Also just let the kids have their fun and give them candy. The only thing that will happen is their teeth will rot if they don't brush them and the dentist might be able to get a new Ferrari, which my dentist jokes about when ever I visit him to my dismay (never had a cavity though.)
You should do it. I mean how likely is it that every single person you'd be "witnessing" to would already have heard of, and understand, christianity?
And there's no better way to tell your neighbors "I'm a condescending, self-righteous douchebag and you should always keep your children from me". It's kind of like the sex offender registration, but for religious retards.
Yeah, sure, go ahead and spend a bundle on materials that will just get laughed at then thrown in the trash. Hey, it's your money.
I know I just always wander around town, looking for unaccompanied women handing out chick tracts in order to rape them with my big black dildo. Don't do it without a man! You need his Y chromosome to protect you.
Also, this is not a new idea. Also, it will win no one over, and waste paper. And oh yeah, if you really believe your shit, how about take the time and effort to converse with people about it instead of driveby littering their holidays?
Can't she just print them from his website? Also, why don't you do it when kids come to your house, asking for candy? I mean, why walk at night, you can just wait for them to come to you.
...
Ah, yes. You don't want your house to be egged.
Save more money by designing and printing your own leaflets and tracts. They don't have to be fancy, most of them will be binned anyway, just a few simple statements to point out your crazes should be enough.
Watch her make a batch of cross-shaped sugar cookies at the last minute.
Then the kids will be all, "Dude, this lady is hardcore! She gives out cookies shaped like TOMBSTONES!"
Would it be too dangerous to do this with just us women?
Indeed it will! How dare you think you can leave the house while your husband is toiling hard at work to provide food, shelter and clothing for your miserable ass?! Just who do you think you are?!
In Jesus' name! I command you back into the kitchen, woman! Make him a turkey pot pie for when he comes home and, while you're at it, make one for me too! AMEN!
"I looked on the Chick website recently and apparently you have to pay a bundle to get the tracts shipped to you"
And what can you discern from this fact, heart_changed99? Yes, that's right. Jack Prick is nothing more than a con-man, a huckster, a chiseller. A fraud . If he were truly a Christian, he'd send them out free to anyone & everyone who wants them, so they could spread the 'Good News'. But no. He charges for them. He's just a cheap profiteer, squeezing poor saps like you for what he can get out of you, on the pretence of making converts with his crappy comics (and they are crappy; in fact SO bad, they're good. They're collected for their pure crappiness & lulz value alone. They were once used as currency at a role-playing game convention).
"we will just walk along with the rest of the crowd and hand out treat bags that will include some Christian material"
If you do, I think being egged and having your front garden strwen with bog rolls will be the least of your problems. Expect dog (or worse) turds in your postbox. And if you get 'Fundy Freak' and 'Jesusfag' spray-painted on your house, you deserve everything you get.
Hmm, asking donations at fundies so you can buy chick tracks.
Might be a good, profitable hoax. Fundies are gillible like a 3 year old child

Thank you.

Well, we had a bad thing happen one year to a whole litter of kittens, so our cats (well, the one that's still indoor/outdoor) stay in almost constantly (said cat refuses to use the litter box -_-) several days before and after. [It was not satanists or witches, btw.] As a person though, in my neighborhood at least, I've always felt quite safe on Halloween. Besides, you'll be with your friend and "the rest of the crowd". You are an adult, right? I think you can handle it.
Speaking of, you could also do with learning where the holiday came from, what it's about, and how to mentally separate harmless kid's activities from anything you perceive as evil. While you're at it, why don't you check out the origin of easter (and why it changes dates every year) and Christmas.
99.9 percent of the people you hand out chick tracts to will throw them out, and those who are not already christians will probably resolve never to become one. They are condescending, cheesy, innacurate, and have crappy art. Handing them out is not "witnessing."
Oh no, is it "War on Halloween" time again? That means that "War on Christmas" time is just around the corner.
And seriously, if I was a kid and you gave me a Chick tract for Halloween, your house would be so TP'ed, egged, and windows soaped that it's not funny. Actually soap isn't too hard to get off, but when you use wax on the other hand...
Jack Chick's tracts do not scare anybody. His drawings of demons are below amateur. I think they're hilarious. It's hard to be scared of his depictions. How nice of him to price tracts out of your range. Says something about him, huh? Everybody has a right to make money but ole Jack is using religion to do it.
Give the kids candy for crying out loud. You can witness all you want but you will not change anything about Halloween/Samhain except pissing kids and parents off.
But imagine if a parent passed out Wiccan material.
You'd piss your pants, wouldn't you?
Some of these comments are just absurd. There is nothing crazy about a women being scared about being alone at night. Rape is real.
That's highly unlikely to happen on Halloween night in the middle of a crowd.
Tract or Treat?
What a dumb cunt. The fact that you can't even afford to buy Chick Tracts, even though your husband will be working late on Halloween oughts tell you something.
Husband probably isn't working, just doing anything to stay the hell away from you.
Hold it, you're going to be with a man that isn't your husband or a relative? What if he lusts for you? You do realize that most rapists are known to their victims!
What ever happened to "I will fear no evil, for thou art with me"...
Looser.
Oh, I see that you're going as a "crazed fanatical fundie Christian" for Hallowe... Oh, wait, you're also that way the other 364 days of the year... Yikes!
First of all, save your money. Second of all, it is generally safe for two women and a 2 year old to be wandering around on Hallowe'en until around 8 or so. After that moer... enthusiastic costumes appear.
Course, he's prolly going as a shepherd and has no fucking clue what Hallowe'en is, so have fun. Give out pencils too, least most people will use them.
Seems I'm getting some traffic thanks to one of the commenters linking to my first Chick parody.
I've got another, less well-known one. Apparently Jack Chick actually believes in vampires. Or something. Follow the link if you're interested.

The woman featured in that one passed out Chick tracts. I edited it so that she passed out something much more entertaining: Freeware games.

If you love Jesus you will spend the money.

I guess you dont love Jesus, it is obvious. Chick is a prophet of god, and you going to a non-chick approved store is begging for damnation and hell fire.
In the thread they are telling people to put them on cars - don't fucking do that!
My old car had a damn gospel thing stuck INSIDE the door because some idiot thought everyone in the shopping mall needed to hear about their god and crammed in so far between the window and the seal on the driver's side door it fell between the outer and inner parts of my door. It could have seriously messed with my automatic window mechanism if it fell just so!
Oh yeah, PS All Hallow's Eve is related to All Saints Day - your crazy holiday.
> Like, we will just walk along with the rest of the crowd and hand out treat bags that will include some Christian material.
*jaw-dislocating yawn*
United States, the Land of Infinite and Boundless Innovation.
What will they think of next?
So let me guess: before Christmas, heart goes out and beats the crap out of the guys playing Santa Clause and then hands out Chick Tracts to all the horrified little bystanders waiting there with their Christmas lists. Yeah. That'll win converts ...
Swell. Just what mainstream Protestant or Catholic parents want: some hate-filled, judgmental lunatic fringe Baptist fundamentalist trying to teach their children that they and their parents are going to hell because they're a bunch of liars.
"Should we have a man with us? Would it be too dangerous to do this with just women?"
Hmm...I'll have to channel my Inner Fundie for this one:
1. Yes! Everyone knows that women get raped every 2 steps if they don't have a big strong Christian man to protect them! But they're asking for it, for being such sluts!
2. No! What are you, a Muslim?
Hmm...hope that narrowed it down.
Also, if I were one of the kids you attempted to indoctrinate into your cult--err--witnessed the glory of Jesus Christ to, I'd take out the tract & toss it in the mud.
Bonus points if I made your kid cry.

"Some of these comments are just absurd. There is nothing crazy about a women being scared about being alone at night. Rape is real."
A single women walking through a deserted, unfamiliar section of town in the middle of the night? Yes. A couple of grown women walking around their neighborhood before bed time when hundreds of children in costumes are going door to door begging candy? Um...no. This is pure, irrational fundie fear; the kind that can only come from believing in a vengeful god.
I don't think she's thinking about rape, anyway. She knows that what she plans to do will draw the ire of more than one parent. And she lacks the moral courage to defend her actions when those parents track her down. By "would it be too dangerous?" she means "Do you think people will let us proselytize to their children or will someone come out and bitch-slap us?”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
