I am so saddened that I cannot hardly think straight. I cannot believe what I have read nor that others feel such things for those they do not know. How can we call ourselves mothers when we attack others for their beliefs.
I am not one to judge for we all well be judged in the end. I am someone whom likes to keep peace not make or add to anyones anger. I feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinon yet. If you post it in a Journal then you should be kind with what you say or not say anything at all. After all it's their journal, and if you don't like what you read then why comment. I guess that is why most people post *I will delete all neg comments* I understand fully why... now!
So I have been writing my own Journey back to me Journal on here and I get a few readers here and there and also some comments.. I thought, perhaps I would skip tonight.. Then I went to the recent journals just like I do at times. I like to give helpful or supportive answers to people if they are looking for help. Needless to say I didn't find that tonight. What I found was so upsetting. It was as if I had gone to another site one where it's ok to bash someone, or make fun of their beliefs. To make them feel as if they were nothing more than crap.
This all because it's halloween. It's as if those that commented stalked those who posted Journals promoting God, or something Christain. Why? I mean seriously we are all mothers, and grown ups.. So what if we dislike halloween, or what it stands for. So what if we feel that it has eurpted in to this huge gore fest, full of fear, and evil. I mean really look at the way kids are dressing for trick or trick, look at all the yard decore, all the candy issues.
Once it was fun, and it was a real treat for the kids to get dressed up, now they go out in their pumpkin costume while someone with a bloody face comes around the corner, or someone with an axe in their head, and blood out of their mouth. This doesn't sound like fun to me. Knowing that someone could give your children tainted candy doesn't sound fun. What happened to the fun part of it all. Why has it go to be so nasty, so horrid, isn't there enough of that in the movies, isnt there enough of that in the WORLD? Look at all the people dying right now on this very night as kids are running around having fun while others watch the latest horror film.
What abut all the vietnam vets in the hospitals and all those that come home from post tramaic syndrome? Do you think they at one time dressed up in all those horror film halloween costumes? Thinking it was funny... Maybe.. Now they are with out arms, legs, ect.
Look I use to be just like others . I use to watch all that in my younger years, I use think . how all the horror movies were so predictable. But then I grew up.. and believe me I am not that old.. Yet. lol
If you want to love, like or have fun with halloween then do so, if you want to dress your kids up like a man or woman that just walked away from a massive car wreck then do so.. If you want to practice whatever one does on a hallows night.. Then do so. And ... life will go on.
Yet when someone , a Christian says ... this is how I feel, why I do not like, or promote halloween. Why bash them? Why tell them they cannot fee that way, share those thoughts, or those feelings, or even tell about how they learned something from their child when he taught something to his own child. How fair is that.. ?
Who we are reflects alot on who are children are and who they wil grow up to be. REMEMBER THAT.
Now I love all, and I am a child of God, and if you want to bash me then God grant me the strength to except what you dish out.. but this My friends is my journal entry for tonight... Stress, anxiety, and panic may fill me but I have to put out how I feel about all this hate, and anger, and judging I am reading... how I don't think it's fair to do that to somone. Why not just read what you want and if you don't like it move on. It's one day, it's one night, it's suppose to be fun for the kids... it's not the rapture and were not on cafemom to be judged...
This is why I got out of groups that judged and started writing in my journal on here so I wouldn't be judged or have drama thrown around me. I have a house full of that... So I hope if you read my one voice journal entry you know that when you write you write for others no just yourself... I mean .. others do feel that same way..
Ok enough of my ramblings.. I just had to vent, to clear my mind.. and let others know that we were all created equal ... even if we don't believe we all are now~
So .. happy night... and .. good night... god bless.. and god speed..
Much love and hugs to you all.. and may all your little ones have a good nights rest fun such a busy night of treating.. :)

GREAT post!! i know though that a lot of PAGAN bashers hiding behind GOD have been posting journals today. maybe you read the rightous enflamed anger of those who dont appreciate being told they are satanic or of the devil?
People often write journals to get a reaction, sometimes that reaction IS going to be negative. that is how it is. because we are ALL entitled to our own opinions. including opinions that differ from those that want to spread FALSE information about holidays about.
Very true ... in some aspects.. though I do not percive Halloween being a holiday. For I do not see the meaning behind it other than kids seem to find fun in dressing up and being someone else for a few mins or hours of their lives.
This not what I mind it is those that take it to far... It is those that state they feel one thing yet state to others they feel other ways.. about this day.
As you notices in my entry I do not state this as anything other than what it is .. A day .. See it is not something that has brought great interest to me.. therefore I see no reason to research it to find out or why it became the day it is or what it is called this.
I just know that ... to me it has no meaning ,as to many..
Christmas, Easther.. those are holidays.. and come with meaning..
and ... so shall I celebrate them..
To each their own .. like I said I am not to judge.. I am only here to be myself.. I have enough going on wiht out trying to figure out all the ongoings on here .. LOL
Thank you both for your comments and I respect you for how you feel and what you have posted. Thank you for not bashing my post or posting negtivity! ..
Dannille, I guess I missed something BIG!(what I get for not feeling good!lol) Anyway, You should NEVER be bashed for what you believe...EVER! I have had this experience & it hurts, & I sure know how you feel & it sucks! What I suggest is that you just push on past this, just forget whatever was said & go on,because this is YOUR JOURNAL & you have the right to put YOUR FEELINGS HERE & not to have someone bashing what you say!!!
~Dannille~
I'm so sorry that you're dealing with extra stress now,because of what was written.My Life is pretty much an open book.Those that come & read,don't have to stay,if they don't like what they see.Any comments that were left,didn't bother me.Please let it go.Your health is what is more important.Anxiety & stress can do serious damage, in many different ways...I learned that the hard way.Do your best to let it go.Hope you'll have a restful night & a wonderful,relaxing Sunday! ~Cathy~
I'm glad I didn't read whatever you read...I agree..if you disagree and don't have something "worthy" to offer...just move on. Bashing sucks.
I felt that your journal post was well written without bashing. you deserve the respect you showed. I do sometimes "flame on" when i see some of the journals that are written expressly from the basis of fear, bigotry, prejudice, and religious persecution. But I can feel your sorrrow and pain in your journal and I thank you for sharing your feelings with us.
