When I came home today, there was a stack of letters by the mailboxes in our apartment building. The fake-hand-written underlining caught my attention. I wondered how to make "This very old church loans this to you" into a sentence. (Click on the images to enlarge.)
The letter was written in a familiar style (i.e., it sounded Pentecostal). But not many Pentecostal churches are called "St. Matthew's." I didn't notice the address (Tulsa, OK), which would have given it away right there, so I thought it was a local church named St. Matthew's. Boy was I mistaken.
The letter started to get really interesting at the bottom of the first page:
And hit an all-new high for weirdness at the top of page two:
The prayer rug (no, I did not kneel on it and look at Jesus' eyes):
Good Lord, I thought, some Word of Faith church really went off the deep end. Well, actually, no. The rest of the story can be found here. It's a relief to find out that there isn't an actual church sending these things out.
This may be the creepiest thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned to Abby, after reading your post, that you received a creepy letter in the mail today, and she said, "Was it some sort of prayer rug letter?" She, I guess, had received one in the past, and it was the first thing that popped into her mind through free association.
I just got this same exact thing today! I haven't even opened it, thanks to your spoiler. It makes me sick, though. All those trees chopped down for nothing. And all those suckers who are desperately hopeful. Ugh.
