Sorry it's not actually from Facebook, but there didn't seem to be a better community for it.
I live in a neighborhood with a large elderly population, and we all got one of these in in the mail today. Looks like they're not just satisfied with recruiting people into the conspiracy theory cult from Facebook and YouTube anymore...
I could see a lot of people falling for this, thinking they've been out of the loop from not having the internet.
100M copies... printed
With an endorsement like that, you can't go wrong!
But supplies are limited!
lol that’s what I came to say.
“We have so many of these things. PLEASE buy a few.”
But they are free.
I wonder how much 100 million copies of a book would cost. At least $100,000,000. But in all reality much more.
It's Seventh Day Adventists trying to convert people. The Great Controversy was written by one of the co-founders of the religion.
This kind of thing isn't new. They're not "leaking" off of Facebook. This specific type of conversion literature has been around for a century.
Grew up in that cult. I can't remember what's in that particular book, but the Adventists do love them some Ellen White nonsense.
Soon as I saw the lighthouse image I was like "Hmmm... sounds watchtowery."
That's the Jehovah's Witnesses publication. I used to get copies of it when waiting for the bus. There would be a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses passing them out. I'd throw them out later in the day.
big "I'm just asking questions" energy
100 million printed but supplies are limited. look. are you sure
You should claim your free copy and post the highlights here. There will surely be enough crazy in it.
I was thinking about it, but I can only imagine the amount of spam mail I'd get if I did.
There is a pdf on Google, 603 pages.
First line reads like a bad movie trailer.
In a world....
Without light...
I got an entire copy in the mail! It was composted.
Ah, that must be how a free book became a "bestseller."
Before Facebook they did not congregate online and amplify their own stupidity to previously unknown depths. Madness like this flyer takes me back to a simpler time when the village idiot was exactly this. A singular idiot with a handful of idiot hang arounds.
Weird. Those bullet points apply to the republicans lol
As a mod this post is reasonable because I've seen all kinds of stuff like it on Facebook.
No website or phone number?
