I'm not sure if this is the right forum for such confessions, but religion seems central to this somehow. I wouldn't fight a move, is what I'm saying.
We get mail for the people who used to live in our home. No problem, for a while we sent it on to them then marked stuff "return to sender" but now it is mainly just junk mail so we throw it out. It's been over ten years, I'm not even sure where they live anymore. Recently, we started getting mail for someone I've never heard of. I've tried looking her up, but can't find anything useful because the name is common and none of the addresses are similar to ours. Again, it is mostly junk so I just toss it out. I think we got a few medical bills that I marked "return to sender" but that was about a year ago and nothing like that since. In short, I try to get people their mail if it lands at my place, but I'm not perfect.
Today I got a piece of mail addresses to the new person from Peter Popoff and my curiosity overcame my sense of right and wrong. Upon reading the mail I realized that the devil made me do it. And I'm fairly certain Peter Popoff is the devil.
Obviously I'd heard of him before but this letter is just stock full of so much ******** that I can't really even stomach it. It is a sales pitch that can be condensed to: God told me that you personally need to send me a $200 sacrifice so that you can receive hundreds of dollars a month extra. There is no attempt to explain why sending the money to Popoff is better than just digging a hole in the backyard to "sow the seed (money)". There is no attempt to explain where the extra money will come from. Those things don't matter.
The best part is that near the beginning of one of the letters (yes, there were two, the second in a separate sealed envelope with warnings) there is a very detailed discussion of money that starts with "I won't mention money again in this letter, but . . ." I think I counted six more uses of the word money after that section, but my brain hurt so I can't really go back and check.
The brilliance of the letter is that he doesn't actually promise anything. Seriously, I have to assume it was vetted by a pretty good lawyer who made sure that no explicit promises were made. Even the promise of prayer was promised to be made in the "spirit language" so I doubt you could pin him down for not actually praying as promised. Snorting coke off the chests of hookers is likely a form of prayer in the "spirit language".
Anyway, I expect Federal Agents to break down my door any minute and try to search my iPhone (tricks on them, it's so old they likely have fired the folks who could break into it). I thought I'd let you know why.
