JesusWeen is a God-given vision which was born as an answer to the cry of many every October 31st. The dictionary meaning of Ween is to expect, believe or think. We therefore see October 31st as a day to expect a gift of salvation and re-think receiving Jesus.

(Sometimes there just ain't enough walls to smash your head against, are there?)

Also, what is it with fundies and words? While they are correct about the definition of the word Ween, it has nothing to do with Hallowe'en:

c.1745, Scottish shortening of Allhallow-even "Eve of All Saints, last night of October" (1550s), the last night of the year in the old Celtic calendar, where it was Old Year's Night, a night for witches. A pagan holiday given a cursory baptism and sent on its way.

Apparently these nutters want to make their happy-clappy day "a global phenomenon." It seems this is to make it look like some obscure prophecies are coming true:

Habakkuk 2:14 – “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea”Romans 12:2 – “and be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds”;Mark 16:15 - "Go into the entire world and preach the good news to all creation”

[Rev. Rye]

You know, this sort of thing isn't unheard of: I've actually heard of people who suggest using Halloween as an excuse to give kids Christian gifts, including Jack T. Chick.

And yes, he actually narrates this video. Given that he is a recluse of Thomas Pynchon-levels (Pynchon seems to have had exactly six photos taken of him during his life; Jack's only had one) actually hearing his voice is somewhat surprising to me. And the fact that he actually narrated the video is surprising.

And that said, "Ween" technically is a word that means hope, but it's an archaic word, and even when Coleridge used the word in "Christabel," it seemed like he was just in need of a word to rhyme with "been."

For those of you Christians who do not believe that your religion recycles older traditions...just watch.

Personally..this "Jesus-ween" sounds fucking ignorant.. which means it will more than likely stick with the masses.

Here is "jesus-ween" facebook entry

Don't think we do not know the origins of Halloween. The fact is the world as we know it celebrates effigy's of demons and evil spirits which many don't find like.

We are not against a child having candy but there is more in life than candy or decent costumes.

All we are saying is that any Christian Family that shares our view that 80% of Halloween has become a celebration of demons images and expression.

It's a FREE World and the choices are abundant. We decide on Jesus Ween ...

We cannot impose Jesus Ween on the entire world.
JesusWeen is the Reason for the Season

You decide

Yes, there's more to life than candy and costumes. This is why Halloween only lasts for one day out of 365 every year.

If you want to celebrate the Christian origins of Halloween, why not just revive All Saints' day? Maybe you can find some new ways to celebrate all those souls who have passed into heaven. If you're uncomfortable with the word "Saints," find something less Catholic, just as long as it's not as fucktarded as JesusWeen.

Poets and playwrights were always doing that sort of thing, whenever Shakespeare was stuck for a word he'd just invent one. It just sticks in my craw whenever preachy idiots like these JesusWeenies misuse words to promote their agenda, or denigrate opposition; "ween" is a word in its own right, but the "ween" in hallowe'en is totally unrelated. It's not dissimilar to Kent Hovind's "Universe: uni = one + verse = spoken word or sentence" crap.

By the way, there's something dumber than Jesus Ween:
Meet Heaven-O

KINGSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- In this friendly little ranching town, "hello" is wearing out its welcome. And Leonso Canales Jr. is happy as heck.
At his urging, the Kleberg County commissioners on Monday unanimously designated "heaven-o" as the county's official greeting. The reason: "hello" contains the word "hell."
"When you go to school and church, they tell you 'hell' is negative and 'heaven' is positive,'" said the 56-year-old Canales, who owns the Kingsville Flea Market. "I think it's time that we set a new precedent, to tell our kids that we are positive adults."
The new salutation, according to the county resolution, is a "symbol of peace, friendship and welcome" in this "age of anxiety."
On Thursday, courthouse employees were answering the phones, "heaven-o." And the chamber of commerce was working on a campaign promoting Kingsville, a Rio Grande Valley town of 25,000, as a "heavenly" place to visit.
"People seem to think that it might catch on," said county Judge Pete De La Garza.
Not everyone is a convert to Kleberg County's heavenly ways. Madolyn Musick, who runs a bookstore, insisted, and linguists would agree, that "hello" has nothing to do with "hell." Besides, she added, "What's wrong with, 'Howdy, y'all?'"
Canales, a Catholic but not a regular churchgoer, has been as serious as heck about "hello" since 1988, when he told his brother he might start greeting people with "God-o." His brother suggested "heaven-o" instead.
David Sabrio, a professor of English at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, noted that the Oxford English Dictionary says "hello" stems from an old German greeting for hailing a boat.
"Linguistically and historically, the word 'hello' has no connection at all with what we associate with the underworld," he said. "People may make that connection in their own mind. I certainly don't."
