    I'll give them credit for chutzpah. How does one 'slam the door' on a letter?
    Place bottom of letter in right hand. Take left hand and grasp top of letter. Turn hands in opposite directions while pressing in a downward motion. Letter will take on form of a ball. Open trashcan lid. Deposit ball shaped letter into trash.

    All done.

    I don't know much about the Seventh Day Adventists, although we lived next door to their church when we lived in town. They seemed nice, and they always came to our basement if there was a tornado warning. They dressed kind of like they were stuck in the early 70s. Big sideburns and bell bottoms.

    They never talked religion to us, though.

    I had the misfortune of having to do Bible Studies with the JW's, my GF became a fanatic and forced me to do it.
    They are a CULT. She ran off to Wyoming with one of their creeps. She was a hot, blonde girl.I will say this about them; they know how to cook delicious meals.
