One for the kids

Found this one on Saturday on the ground on Gordon Street. Unfortunately it was too soggy to open and I just binned it. By sheer luck, divine providence, or the fact that the same people had hit a few phone boxes that day, I found it in a different phonebox on the way to work the next morning.

Hit the jump for the inside. I think it's probably important to note at this point that this tract was WRITTEN FOR CHILDREN!

A quick breather.

This is a handwritten postcard to you. Yup. That's right. You're special enough a friend to warrant a font that's meant to resemble handwriting. Seriously either type it using a typey font or actually write it by hand and photocopy it a bunch, but "handwriting" fonts invariably look lame.

But hey at least it's not Comic Sans.

or Papyrus.

Hit the jump for the inside.

The Name - a horribly painfully obvious con trick.

This was found today in a phonebox on Argyle StreePAPYRUS FONT! OH FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T USE THAT!
This booklet promotes an upcoming series of things by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. I went into this one expecting plenty of dumbness, but upon further investigation of the church and people behind it, I think it's safe to say we have a cult on our hands......like, moreso than usual. We're off and in the deep end as far as OBVIOUS CON TRICKS are concerned here.

Go jump, and prepare for a booklet sized deal this time.

No Pastafarianism?

Another old one. Found on the ground on Sauchiehall street ages ago.

For some reason on the list, Islam gets mentioned three times and Judaism is missed out entirely. I like how Scientology gets a cameo as well.

Ehhhh. Hit the jump.

Wrong cover image?

This was found in the same phonebox as The Question, the following day (yesterday.)  I guess someone must have that box marked for regular tracting.

Hit the jump for the inside, but first, take a note of the cover image. It's important y'see.

So who here likes crosswords? Also Scientology.

A while back, I mentioned how the Cult of Scientology used to do "Free Stress Test" sessions in Glasgow on Saturdays. Amongst the things they handed out when they were around was tabloid sized leaflet which attempts to sell you their Dianetics stuff, which consists of incredibly expensive books, incredibly expensive DVDs and INCREDIBLY expensive auditing sessions.

Also it's part of a cult.

Hit the jump and be prepared for a long one. This is really one for tearing into  :D

Adventures of the Evangelist Clock!

This tract is by a company called the Evangelical Tract Distributors. I've been coming across a LOT of their stuff lately. This one was found today in fact, in the same phone box as yesterday's entry.

Also the pen marks where there when I found it. Go ahead and hit the jump.
