I got an Earth Day message from Kingdom Hall today!

So much to unpack here. The full-page letter was written in schoolgirl script from TIFFANY who had a message for me from HER god proclaiming the real meaning and purpose he meant for my life in Genesis 1:28 when he told ME specifically to "Be fruitful, fill the earth and SUBDUE it, SUBJUGATE the fish of the sea, the flying creatures of the heavens, and every living creature that is moving on earth" (I assume keeping my 2nd Amendment to Genesis in mind as I do these things). She also let me know that with all the ecological and environmental issues in the world, it was clear I was failing to do my job of fulfilling God's human supremacist purpose on earth. Also, she directed me to a site that offers more drivel like this in 1000 languages.

I felt a bit like I got sent an STD chain letter.

The icing on the cake was the letter was postmarked on Earth day with an Earth Day stamp!
DeJoy time! "Hallelujah! Throw a nickel on the drum save another drunken bum!"

carrier pigeon. I get letters written by a very, very old person (the writing is all scratchy like when you are in your 80s or 90s) and I never get hand written letters from anyone else. I didn't know others got letters like this too. I thought some senior person with nothing else to do has decided to convert me without even knowing me. How many people get letters like these?

She always included a handwritten note to personalize the crap.
Very few handwritten letters since she passed.

... there used to be a local politician who would say the most outrageous things (back before it was fashionable)...
... I used to rage at her absurdities routinely, until my elderly neighbor said something wise....
".. She serves a purpose.
No matter how badly you mess up today, at least you can say to yourself, I didn't say that, so I must be smart,,,"

... of course, what I found outrageous then seriously pales compared to the current crop of yutzs out there....

is what gets me.

I should file a formal complaint. Or answer her letter. Both seem like picking on what
Q-Shaman's lawyer referred to as short bus people though.

ON edit: I just called the post office and complained, said they should fire DeJoy. The man laughed, said talk to Biden.

Hear that Biden? Fire damn DeJoy.
