Creative design that kids love, even more than candy.



Being a child can be tough. Situations at home and school can be overwhelming but God wants them to know that He has an amazing plan for their lives.

This Halloween you'll have an opportunity to share God's Word with kids that knock on your door or come to your church's Trunk or Treat. Memory Cross makes a number of origami inspired tracts, all with our unique fold that children love, plus the message on each tract is positive and encouraging.

This year give them candy, but also let them know how much God loves them. That is something which can change their life forever.

I'm not buying that claim at the top. More than candy? I want to see the polling results.

1. When the bags' contents are traded off at the end of the night, NOBODY will want these.

[Binkie The Clown]

2. "let them know god loves them..."

Is that the same god that let daddy get his legs blown off in Iraq? Is that the same god that gave Grampa cancer? Is that the same god that no matter how hard I pray for a pony sends me measles instead? If god loves those children, he sure has a funny way to show that love.

4. It's the same god that watches you masturbate.

And gets really pissed off about it.

Remember, Jesus is gonna git yew!

[Binkie The Clown]

17. If god watches everything, the it's true that god watched porn. n/t

3. Is this one of those "A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down" thingies?

The problem is to only take medicine that helps you, and not harms you. I try to educate myself on such issues -- albeit not always successfully -- and I feel strongly that all religion is bollocks. I also understand that there is likely no getting rid of it, even if we all wanted to do that.

5. I actually considered having Bernie flyers for anyone that wanted to take one back to their parents.

Not as a replacement for candy, but in addition to. I have no desire to be cleaning eggs off my house.

6. Is there anything worse

than getting religious tracts with your crappy candy corn?

[trotsky]

7. Yes.

Getting religious tracts with a healthy snack.

[Act_of_Reparation]

8. Gotta disagree.

Candy corn sucks. I mean, it really sucks. That shit tastes like all the candy corn in the world was manufactured back in the 1950s and they've been selling it ever since. Fucking caustic, waxy-tasting shit. When I was a kid, there was literally nothing worse than finding candy corn in my Halloween bag.

Until Easter, that is, when my parents would unload those awful chocolate eggs wrapped in the colored foil. Those things suck, too.

[trotsky]

9. No argument from me on candy corn.

Or circus peanuts. Oh My Koresh.

Just thinking back to when I was a kid - even crappy candy was better than some dumping an apple in your bag!

[Act_of_Reparation]

13. That's because you know the person who put the apple there was an asshole.

Sure, apples taste better than candy corn, but at least the idiot who put the candy corn in the bag was in the right goddamned ball park.

[edhopper]

10. I like Candy Corn

at least I did in my youth. Probably made with HFCS now, which would make it suck.

And Cadbury Eggs are good. Cheap chocolate anything is awful.

[trotsky]

11. I dunno man.

I used to live for Cadbury Eggs. But the last several years, they're just yuck. They have no flavor - it's just a slap in the face of "SWEET".

[edhopper]

12. N America Cadbury

is now owned by Hersey's. Which might explain it.

(I haven't had one in a few years, so they probably do suck now)

[Act_of_Reparation]

14. It's mass-produced cheap chocolate no matter where it is made.

I've had the British stuff, and yes it is "better"... but only marginally. None of this crap comes close to what you can get for a pretty penny in France, Germany, or Switzerland.

[trotsky]

15. You don't need a pretty penny anymore!

Delicious German and Austrian chocolate can be had at Aldi stores for a song. No it's not top-tier but it's amazingly good.

[edhopper]

18. I disagree about

British candy bars.

Head and shoulders above American.

And you left out Belgium.

[Act_of_Reparation]

19. To be fair, everyone leaves Belgium out.

It's weird, really. I'd probably like to see it but it's never on my list of places to go.

[edhopper]

20. It's a wonderful country

with fantastic truffles.

[Act_of_Reparation]

21. To be fair, I wouldn't know a good truffle from a bad truffle.

And considering my dodgy relationship with edible fungi, I'm not sure I would even like good truffles. Unless, that is, you're talking about chocolate truffles. In which case, I'll eat the shit out of those.

[edhopper]

22. Chocolate, of course!

[img][/img]

[Act_of_Reparation]

23. In that case, I'll start boning up on my Flemmish.

Or my Walloons, depending upon who's in power when I finally get there. Or shit, maybe both. Never know with that Belgian government these days.

[edhopper]

24. Or just try French or English

[Yorktown]

25. French is a good pick for chocolate

You get Belgium + France

[edhopper]

27. True

[Dorian Gray]

16. Okay

you got me!

[Mariana]

28. When we lived in Texas

my daughter absolutely loved it when she would get Chick tracts in her Halloween bag. She had to learn not to read the tracts and eat the crappy candy corn at the same time, because the tracts would make her laugh so hard she'd choke on the candy corn.
