Project, False Prophet (part 2)

Several weeks ago, I told you of an idea that I had that would ultimately (hopefully) cost the fake-ministries of people like Prophet Peter Popoff a lot of money. The plan was (and still is) to use the postage paid envelopes that they send with their mailings, as the means by which we could send them heavy boxes of garbage that would cost about $40 to receive. You can read more about how that is done by clicking here and why I'm targeting Peter Popoff by clicking here.

Anyway, in preparation to make this plan a reality, I submitted a fake prayer request at Peter Popoff's website. I did this, knowing that they would then take my address information and use it to send me their junk mailings. Popoff is notorious for using some of the most ridiculous and underhanded means to swindle people into sending him money.

Well, the other day, I received his first mailing. Unfortunately, he must be on to me because it didn't include a postage paid envelope. On the other hand, what it did include were magic "number seven stickers" that I could stick on a special "prayer folder" and thus "release my faith." If my prayer need is a "vacation trip," I just need to affix the sticker to that part of the prayer folder, accompanied by a dollar amount that is divisible by 7, and shazzam, my prayer will be answered. You can see the prayer folder up close by clicking the picture up top. Here is a picture of the number 7 stickers as well.

My favorite part of the "Miracle-7-Gram prayer folder" is Popoff's solution for solving eating disorders. He suggests, "If you have an eating problem, Stick one on your frig." That is a direct quote. I have a better suggestion. If, like Popoff, you have a spelling or capitalization problem, maybe you could stick one on your dictionary. (frig = fridge...... Stick = stick).

Anyway, all this typing is making me hungry. I wonder what munchies my wife has in my frig. Be right back...................... Ah man, one of my kids must have put a 7-gram sticker on the door. Now how am I supposed to get fat with a clear conscience?
