I Love My Babies Donating Member | Sorry If I Offended Anyone Hi Everyone.. I don't know what to say. I guess I just didn't stop to think that many people do not celebrate Halloween. If I have offended anyone by sending them Halloween Graphics or Pictures..... please forgive me. I would never do anything to thoughtlessly hurt anyone's feelings. So, If I goof up and send something to anyone who does not celebrate that holiday, please feel free to delete it.. and accept my apology. I am so sorry. Bobbi

| Oh Bobby, you are so sweet. You certainly didn't offend me. (Have you seen my user profile?) I'm sure those who don't celebrate will be happy to delete them and move on...I can't imagine anyone actually being angry.

I Love My Babies Donating Member | No, this person was not angry.. they just kindly asked me not to send them anymore. But I got to wondering if there were other people who did not like them. So I thought it may be a good thing to tell everyone I would not be offended if they deleted them. And thank you... for your nice comment.

| Bobbie, I would never think you sent something with ill intentions.....Sometimes things like this will happen, we are such a diverse group on here that it's unavoidable at times to over look differences in life styles and beliefs.....I hope if someone did receive anything it was not to their liking they just deleted it .....

| That is so sweet of you to post this. I can't imagine you offended anyone. For example, since I'm not jewish I don't celebrate Rosh Hashanah but if someone sent me a Happy Rosh Hashanah message I would just be happy that they thought about me at all and since that would tell me that they probably are observing Rosh Hashanah, I would send them a happy Rosh Hashanah message right back. For the record, I love Halloween so consider this an open invitation to my profile.

YT 500 Club Member | I remember one time visiting one of my adoptive families around Halloween and asked one of their daughters (about age 5) what she planned to be for the holiday. She pointedly told me that "Halloween is the devil's holiday", and I immediately felt stupid. I am really careful now, but I totally love Halloween, and I forget that there are people who don''t.

| Now, I'm offended! but because you haven't sent me anything halloweenish!! I always enjoy your messages and although I hardly reply to them it is a joy and it makes my day a lot of times. I celebrate all the regular holidays(no religious issues here) so, don't be afraid to send me anything because if you don't I will be offended! JK.

| We don't celebrate halloween, although we have a fall festival at church where the kids dress up and all that. I am not offended if someone says something to me about halloween. I understand that people celebrate it, and most all do it in good fun and just because I feel conviction on it, doesn't mean that people that celebrate it our bad people. Also, I HATE it that anything religious about any holiday (christmas, easter, etc) cannot be mentioned in schools or anything like that because it might offend someone, so I would be just as bad to get mad about the same type thing. The only time I would be offended is if someone knew how I felt about the morbid/occultic aspect of it, and deliberately send me something with the intention of trying to get my goat. That is very nice of you to apologize to anyone you may have offended. I know I personally would not have been offended by it. This coming from someone who doesn't celebrate Halloween.

| Personally I love all the Holidays even Halloween though it's not about the devil with me. I'm not Jewish, Jehovah's Witness or any other religion that doesn't recognize or celebrate the same holidays I do, but I respect their beliefs and hopefully they mine. So if I send anything regarding a holiday I observe, it's because I don't know your belief so please take no offense. We get people knocking on our door all the time who want to spread their teachings, but I take no offense. I hope the reception will be the same in any posts of others who have different celebrations.
