JWs in my merchandise |
I ordered a set of touring bags for my motorcycle from J.C. Whitney. The
package showed up today. In one of the boxes was a cassette tape. At
first I thought, great! I don't have to read the installation
instructions. Then I looked at it more closely.
Watchtower. A Watchtower cassette.
What is this? Commercial religious proselytization? I wonder if J.C.
Whitney supports this type of thing, or if an employee inadvertantly
dropped it into my package. Weird.
Should I fire off a complaint? Or chalk it up to experience? Perhaps
I'll mail it back to them, accompanied by "Dear Believer", the non-tract
by Dan Barker...

I would always send it back marked Private and Confidential to the
Chairman of the Company.
But no Stamp. Let them pay the postage.
You had to pay the added cost of the item you did not want,
if only indirectly.
You could even make out you thought it was lost property,
as you seem to think might be the case!

Probably the bags were returns from someone else. You really should
talk to customer service about it though. This might something they
want to know about.

If they were, they were re-packed well. No problem with the merchandise,
but the little "gift" was the same to me as if I had mailed a christian a
copy of "The Age of Reason". It wasn't in a box, or wrapping. Just the
cassette. I think it was an employee making use of their shipping
department (and the customers' money) to distribute religious propaganda.
I'm going to make use of their customer feedback form to inform them of
this. Then I'm going to play the tape and have a good laugh.

Record some death metal on it and _then_ send it back. :)
