Just popped in to say I got one of these on my door today. I thought of the SDMB. ---

Crikey, we got one today, too. It was stuck jauntily in the postbox when I arrived home from work. I was puzzled, trying to remember where that phrase about “False Religion” came from that it seemed familiar. The pamphlet was quickly dispatched to the handy-dandy blue box, to be recycled come next Tuesday. It sounds like a serious drive, eh? Now I, too, am part of the global false religion-eradication campaign. That would not make a good band name. ---

Got mine today and remembered this thread; I’ll agree that TWoB is indeed teh hawt (I’d rather be at _that_ party than join the multicultural milquetoasts on the back page.) In fact, if her multi-cranial steed there has problems, I volunteer to make her devastated and naked and eat up her fleshy parts. 😃 I note that they quote liberally from the bible, but don’t cover anywhere why the bible is the One True Book, and not any other religious text. I get the feeling they were going to try, but the only thing that seems to be left of that is the hilarious second paragraph, where Jesus Christ is referred to as “A widely respected religious figure”. :smack: ---

Since my apartment is in the back rooms of a house, I never get missionaries knocking at my door, but I finally got to read the tract in question when my parents (knowing of my interest in all kinds of esoterica) enclosed two copies in the last Priority Mail envelope of goodies they sent me. So if anyone wants to read of the impending demise of False Religion, you can e-mail me (contact info is in my profile), and I’ll send the Harlot and her seven-headed feline to your home or P.O. box! ---

[QUOTE=Hunter Hawk] No, it was from the Jehova’s Witnesses. They must be doing a seriously major push–this was the first tract of any sort I’ve gotten in a dozen years. [/QUOTE] I got one last week (see my relatively tame [Pit thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=394980). I heard they’re on an annual pledge drive, and are beating the strerets pretty hard. According to a few scattered sources, they wanted to get Jerry Lewis to host a telethon, but he’s already damned to hell/France. Hey, about this whore of Babylon, is she wearing anything? According to those same few scattered sources, I heard [Tawny Kitaen](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000478/) is actually the whore, but it’s not publicly recognized. Apparently, she damn near blew her cover doin’ Warrant and Motley Crue videos back in th’ day. The whorin’ part came when she did _The New WKRP in Cincinnati_. Tripler I have inside sources from the CIA. ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] Other highlights: subtle, anonymous digs at Catholics, GWB, and Muslims. Rational argument on one page; on the other, the ten horns of the beast rebelling against the Whore. Who, I have to say, is a HOTTIE. [/QUOTE] Before I realized we were talking about JW’s (who I haven’t really encountered at all, though we do have a roving band of nicely-dressed Mormons who use the library I work in to send and recieve emails once a month or so), I thought these were Chick Tracts, and was thus goign to respond with something along the lines of: "\Subtle\ :dubious: " But, alas, nevermind. 😃 ---

Is it International Defeat False Religion Week or something? I got a JW leaflet stuck under the door a few days ago on exactly the same subject. I didn’t throw it in the bin; I did the right thing and put it into the recycling. ---

Got mine a couple of days ago; it had been so far between the door and the jamb that just the edge was showing from outside. It went directly from there to the paper shredder. The only good thing is that since I don’t believe there is any such thing as a ‘true’ religion the loss of all the ‘false’ ones means pretty soon all religion will be a thing of the past. Why am I reminded of the Simpsons episode where they imagine a world without lawyers and everybody is singing and dancing and just enjoying life? ---

Casa del Briston, moments ago: A very nice little girl just came to my door (with grandma smiling from behind a nearby tree). “I’d like to give you this pamphlet on how the end of false religion is near”, she said sweetly. My eyes lit up…“Oooo, thank you! We we’re just making fun of this very pamphlet on the internet…I was hoping I’d get one. Wait, this is the right one, isn’t it? \ Yup! There’s the Whore of Babylon, as promised. Thank you very much!” \ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/false-religion-is-coming-to-an-end/377725.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/false-religion-is-coming-to-an-end/377725.md?page=3)
