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

Any other suggestions?

Mine went immediately in the recycle bin.

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

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

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

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

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.

This year's Yule Log

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

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.

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

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

Yup. Mines sitting in the recycle bin too

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

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

I dug return to sender with a pen and put it back in my mailbox. It was gone the next day.

West side of Michigan is the "Bible Belt of the North".

I got one the other day, and worringly, it had my name on it.

Right in the trash

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.

That's unsettling, mine just said "current resident" or something

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.

I live in an apartment building in Essex and every single resident got one. They are laying all over the mail room

Ouch.

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.

As a mail carrier, please dont do that. Not my job to throw away your trash.

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

So you're saying it won't actually get returned?

Nope, it's third class mail which just gets recycled.

Bummer. I want to somehow punish them for sending me this crap

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.

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.

Are Seventh Day Adventists fash?

Somehow I doubt the seventh day adventists are rolling in the dough.

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

mine made good kindling for a burn pile.

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

This is what I did - for the same reason

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!

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.
