    Serious suggestion here but could you not report the editor to the diocese?

    Not to forget the 'Christian' Bush and, now Catholic, Tony Blair and how they both believed God wanted them to slaughter millions of innocents for oil.

    Jebus, Bush isn't a Christian like.

    He's not Catholic - I'm pretty sure he is a Methodist Christian though, doesn't he?

    I have a no junk mail sign up on my front door. The only people who seem unable to read it are the people that deliver the Alive Catholic news paper door to door.

    I rang them last month requesting that they refrain from putting it through the door in future. The lady refused to tell me who was delivering them to my area but said it wasn't one of their own group of delivery people, as they adhere to no junk mail signs.

    Came home today and there was another one stuck in the door.

    I do not agree with any of the crap they write and feel I shouldn't have this kind of stuff thwarted at me in my own home.


    I'd enjoy it like a copy of Viz if I didn't know they were actually being serious.

    Anyway how do I get this to stop?


    I didnt even know that was a free paper!!

    Anyway the solution is, move to a rural area!!! no free newspapers and junk mail here!!! ( EXCEPT WHAT THE POSTMAN BRINGS - BILLS AND SOME SHÍTE LIKE THAT!!! oops left caps lock on and not arsed to retype . .

    A lot of hatred of Catholics being expressed here. How long would this thread last if it was about Gibbs or Essence being pushed through your letterbox. Bigots TBH.


    I'm Catholic, but that's purely an accident a result of birth like most peoples religious believes.

    If the OP had rang whatever Gibbs or Essence are and requested to stop getting junk through their letter box I'd say the about the same. Also the fact that they won't tell the OP who is pushing this junk through their letter box isn't on.

    Kinda like saying criticism of suicide bombings = hatred of muslims.

    It's the dogma Alive! peddles that's being objected to so strongly, not the fact that it's a catholic publication, one which misrepresents many, many catholics. And plenty of the views held by Alive! would be shared by nutty evangelical protestants.

    That rag goes against everything I believe in, it is seething with hate, inaccuracy and bravado. I do not want to be subjected to its contents in the privacy of my own home nor do I want any of its supporters near my door. I asked them to politely remove my address from their list and this was not done. I also enquired for information on who was putting it through my letter box (as the lady I was speaking to claimed it was not one of their droppers) so I could contact them, this was refused and I was hung up on AFTER she had childishly pretended not to hear me.

    :mad:

    I'm sorry but my own beliefs differ so much from the poison they print I can't ignore it.

    I used to laugh at it in the past, but after my phone call....

    It might be more better to report it to the prior of The Dominican order, as the address is the Dominican priory in Tallaght and the editior is a priest in said order.

    Unless I have been grossly missinformed by my ventures into the Christian forum on here, just doing something non-Christian does not suddenly mean you are no longer a Christian.

    Well, there really should be an opt out from having to clean a load of pish away, shouldn't there? Mind you, if mass producing leaflets that get immediately binned and waste funds leading to possible bankruptcy in the future...all good.

    Ye should be glad you never lived in Scotland. We used to get Westwood Baptist church, Church of Scotland, Our Lady of Lourdes rc, The Watch Tower, The church of the Latter day saints and the Krishna newspaper/ magazines/bulletines monthly:eek:. Pain in the whole I admitt, but just put them into bin.

    You must have bigger problems to worry about.
