THE "FORWARDERS" 12 STEP PROGRAM

EVERYONE PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR MONITOR AND REPEAT THESE WORDS WITH ME:

1) I will NOT get bad luck, lose my friends, or lose my mailing lists if I DON'T forward an email!

2) I will NOT hear any music or see a taco dog, if I forward an e-mail.

3) Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money, Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body works don't know anything about a gift certificate they're supposed to send me.

4) Ford will NOT give me a 50% discount even if I forward my e-mail to more than 50 people!

5) I will NEVER receive gift certificates, coupons, or freebies from Coca-Cola, Cracker Barrel, Old Navy, Outback Steakhouse or anyone else if I send an e-mail to 10 people.

6) I will NEVER see a pop-up window if I forward an e-mail..NEVER-NEVER!!

7) There is NO SUCH THING as an e-mail tracking program, and I am not gullible enough to think that someone will send me $100 for forwarding an e-mail to 10 or more people!

8) There is NO kid with cancer through the Make-a-Wish program in England collecting anything! He did when he was 7 or 8 years old. He is now cancer-free and 35 years old and DOESN'T WANT ANYMORE POST CARDS or GET-WELL CARDS.

9) The government does not have a bill in Congress called 601B (or whatever they named it this week) that if passed, will enable them to charge us 5 cents for every e-mail we send.

10) There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful flowers, characters, or program that I will receive immediately after I forward an e-mail. NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!

11) The American Red Cross will NOT donate 50 cents to a certain individual dying of some never-heard-of disease for every e-mail address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES donations.

12) And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending things by telling me I am not their friend or that I don't believe in Jesus Christ. If God wants to send me a personal message, I believe the bushes in my yard will burn before He picks up a PC to send me an email! And my friends already know that I love them - whether or not I respond to or forward an email.

Now, repeat this to yourself until you have it memorized, and send it along to at least 5 of your friends before the next full moon or you will surely be constipated for the next three months and all of your hair will fall out.


Oh, and you will have really good luck and Jesus really WILL love you if you send me $20. :)

I just now received the ole Bill Gates hoax forwarded from a friend. <sigh> I give the Urban Legends link to anyone who sends me one of those ditties.

And I tell everyone, as I tell all of you here: when you see those forwarded-forwarded-forwarded-FORWARDED emails, you are looking at a gold mine to a spammer, who can easily harvest valid email addresses and fill your poor little email box with spam for XXX-websites, prescription drugs via the Internet, quick weight loss, refinancing, stock tips, and whatever other garbage is floating in the ether.

JUST SAY NO!


Peace,

Thank you lambslove!

As for me I hate the forwards that say: "If you're not ashamed of Jesus pass this on," because of the guilt trip. Now that I have two e-mail addresses, I will pass it on from whatever one I get it at to my other one. That way I am not feeling guilty for allegedly being ashamed and I am also able to delete it without pestering others with the nonsense.

Another thing I hate are mushy or on the other hand "get righteous" or "do this for God" religious forwards. I am a Christian, I am in the faith, but this sappy, manipulative, useless junk 99 percent of the time does more harm than good to my walk with God. Sometimes some things are good (like the Father's Love Letter and a few others) but others are inane (The New School Prayer, and around 10 others I can't name right now) and then the outright phony (the Murray O'Hair/FCC hoax, Joshua's Long Day, Wormwood In The Sky Today, and reports of healing with no evidence to back them up-BTW I have been healed twice but I simply thank God and do not trumpet it on the mountaintops for that reason-I have no documented evidence of the healing because I never had tests done before or after, since I'm a big chicken lol.)

Please. No. More. Forwards.
