Mine went immediately in the recycle bin.

Yup. Mines sitting in the recycle bin too

Got mine in the mail yesterday, which was pretty convenient because I needed more toilet paper.

Ouch.

Just got mine after some intense anticipation. Paper is pretty damn thin, but not bible thin. Joints would be pretty harsh.
Any other suggestions?

Fire starter. I threw it in my "newspaper to burn" pile.

Apparently the Christian fascists who sent it think Vermonters need to be saved.

Are Seventh Day Adventists fash?

If they had actual power. Same with the Mormons. Ditto for any other Abraham of religion.

Wonder what the ROI is on sending out tens of thousands of books to the least religious state in the natio Oof what a waste of money. Sucks they were allowed to use non-profit postal rates
AJArcadian t1_iuum4uz wrote
The cost is sunk in terms of earth dollars, but I think it translates to Heaven Points (TM). They're only redeemable after death or rapture, though, that's where they get ya.

Somehow I doubt the seventh day adventists are rolling in the dough.
reclaimandrevolve t1_ivuttto wrote
well, the publisher makes out like a bandit, because these books are paid for by donations. I'm guessing their ROI in terms of converts isn't that high, but it's keeping people in jobs, by fleecing people.

Yeah, I saw it on our counter for a day then it mysteriously ended up in the recycling.

Yes. Didn’t even recycle it. Straight to trash. Didn’t want it coming back in some other form.

They've been rolling out for a couple weeks now all over VT.
I feel bad for the mail carriers and recycling coectors who have had to export these books and their pointless journey to the next life via all of our homes.

I finally got mine today! After weeks of seeing seemingly everyone else get their free kindling on this subreddit, I was beginning to feel neglected.

I got one the other day, and worringly, it had my name on it.
AJArcadian t1_iuulpee wrote
That's unsettling, mine just said "current resident" or something

Put return to sender and mail it back. They’ll be charged twice for the postage.

This is what I did - for the same reason

Now we won’t need newspaper to start fires in the wood stove!

Imagine if these people actually used their money to help people, nah, they just want to continue religious conversion to make more money, under the guise of "Helping" lol.

Still nothing! Are they only sending it to married men? I’m married but we didn’t bother with name changing. I’d hate to miss out on burning hate
AJArcadian t1_iuulku6 wrote
Married with different last names, and we got ours last week.
I must say if they didn't want them to be burned I don't know why they made them with such excellent tinder qualitt paper. Catches quicker than newspaper.

Right in the trash

I live in an apartment building in Essex and every single resident got one. They are laying all over the mail room
WantDastardlyBack t1_iuvtql1 wrote
Yes. Also got the medal cross that was sent out about a week earlier. And yesterday, we got that hatred-spewing "Joe Biden and Left-Wing Officials..." flyer that I've found the most outrageous of them all. I want to know what makes any of them think they're finding supporters in my household.

Tore out pages and into the garbage. I don't trust the paper in my compost. And recycling seemed too good for this.

mine made good kindling for a burn pile.

Got my copy. Wife asked what I did to get on their list.

Just got mine today, 11/10. Yay, I needed some fire starters!

I dug return to sender with a pen and put it back in my mailbox. It was gone the next day.
sorrycharlie88 t1_iuw074w wrote
As a mail carrier, please dont do that. Not my job to throw away your trash.
bleahdeebleah t1_iuw3tww wrote
So you're saying it won't actually get returned?
sorrycharlie88 t1_iuw4zm4 wrote
Nope, it's third class mail which just gets recycled.
bleahdeebleah t1_iuw5ykf wrote
Bummer. I want to somehow punish them for sending me this crap
sorrycharlie88 t1_iuw6i7o wrote
Considering there's been newspaper articles and TV news segments on the books I'm sure they've caught wind of some people's irritations, and I'm pretty sure they really don't care what you guys think in all honesty.

Tossed that bad boy in the wood stove after pulling the pages off the spine. Served a purpose.
