my prayer placemat Yesterday I was looking through our pile of mail sitting atop of our mini-fridge in the living room. As I sorted through the various junk mail, I noticed a letter that was addressed to "Our friend living at 2346 Victor St #2." On the envelope it said, "Two houses will be blessed, then it must be sent elsewhere." So, my curiosity piqued, I opened it. This letter was very timely, because in it is the secret to sucessful prayer. As I read through the letter, I learned that there was a "prayer rug" that I needed to kneel on in order to well, get whatever I want. That's right, it's like finding a genie in a bottle. There was a brochure with testimonies of people recieving 50,000 dollars, and all kinds of good things. Anyway, I notice that the envelop is much to small to be containing any kind of rug. Well, I found out how wrong I was. The third thing in the package was in fact the prayer rug, although it really looks more like a paper prayer placemat. Anyway, the letter pointed out, timing is CRUCIAL to God. You have to perform the ritual exactly for it to work. 1. Go to a quiet room, where it's just you and God. 2. Kneel with both knees on the rug. 3. Make your wish, I mean pray for whatever. 4. When you are finished, put the rug into your Bible. If you don't have a Bible handy, you can just fold it up and put it under your bed. 5. The next morning, you need to fill out the response card and mail the rug back to St. Matthew's church. 6. Wait on your blessing!! I feel kinda bad lampooning these people. I do think they are sincere, especially since they are not asking for money. Now, that may or may not be phase 2 of the operation, I don't know. However, this thing is nothing more than a chain letter. It is supersitious, AND it promotes the prosperity gospel. Plus, it has the look of a Jack Chick tract. posted
