Project, False Prophet

I realize that I already posted once today, but I had a thought that sprung from my previous post. It dawned on me that about a year ago, I received an envelope from "Rev. Peter Popoff" and his "ministry." It was an appeal for money and included a postage paid return envelope which I filled with a bunch of ripped up pieces of paper and returned (at his expense).

For those of you who have never heard of Rev. Peter Popoff here's the deal. His "infomercial" usually comes on late at night. He promises physical healing and financial prosperity to anyone who will send him money. To the mature Christian, his scheme is obvious, but there are many who fall for his trickery because he poses as a pastor and a teacher of God's Word. You can read a little about his scheme here.

Anyway, I'm thinking that it would be a lot of fun to make this guy spend a lot of money on postage while we send him boxes full of our garbage (again, at his expense....see previous post). I just signed up, via his website to receive his mailings. This can be done through his "prayer request" page.

Once I start receiving the mailings, I'm planning on draining his pocketbook (one pre-paid envelope taped to a box of garbage at a time). I just calculated the postage through www.usps.gov and each 50lb. box will cost him approximately $40.11.

I'm not suggesting that you do this too, but hypothetically, if you were to join me in this venture, I would likewise, hypothetically, find a lot of joy in knowing that his perversion of the Word of God for profit was repaid by bankrupting his "ministry"....... hypothetically. And if you do attempt this, as I am planning to, please be sure to send me hypothetical pictures of the box of garbage you're sending him.
