Ever get a "prayer rug" in the mail?

[Archae]

I just got one, "loaned" to me by Saint Matthew's Church.

I'm supposed to send it back to them with a donation.
If I do that all sorts of goodies, financial and otherwise will be showered on me.

Even money this "church" is just another scam.
(Looks it up)

Yup, it's a scam.

3. Well, I did the "legal" thing to the whole mailing.

Ran it through my shredder.

2. holy shit I just got a letter from them yesterday

It felt like something was in there - coulda' been a rug...

My daughter handed it to me when I came home from work and said "Here, I figured you'd want to get started laughing at this right away"..

My daughter cracks me up.

But I wish there was a way to punish bullshit scammers like that. I don't want to reform them. I want to punish them. You all know damn good and well they are taking food money away from gullible people with that shit.

4. I routinely toss unsolicited charity mailings unopened.

Marketing Fail.

5. I don't remember who sent it, but I got one that was just printed on a piece of paper.

6. Same here.

It was a thicker grade of paper, but my shredder handled it nicely.
