CES letter pass along cards idea

Remember the LDS pass along cards. I still see them occasionally in ward buildings. Someone can take one and it directs them to the church website or other information about the church.. What if we were to create CES pass along cards? Same size and look, but with info about the CES letter. Drop them n the pile with the other pass along cards and see what happens?

I think I've seen this on Reddit. I don't have any saved, but I'm like 99% sure I've seen just these things floating around. Heck, I think even just making pass-along cards for the gospel topics essays would be pretty awesome, and much less likely that people would realize they had been slipped in.

I agree with this. If it could be made official looking enough, the essay cards would just blend in, whereas the ces letter cards would probably be dumped quickly.

It couldn't hurt to leave them anonymously in places like the church library, on top of a piano, etc.
Has anyone else ever done anything like--write the ces or mormonthink website down inside a BOM at a Marriot hotel? I have. Once I was by a bulletin board at church and when no one was looking I took down a poster with a pic of JS on it advertising some event.

In my ward the pass along cards are used to make paper airplanes by the kids.
If we are considering ways to "infiltrate the enemy" here's an easy one.
Print 25 copies of any conference talk.
Print 25 copies of a gospel topic essay.
Leave on the table in two separate stacks in the foyer by the ward sacrament meeting programs. Everyone will think they are handouts. 99% won't read them. 78% will become paper airplanes.

There was a guy I met at one of the post-mo meetups that was doing this sort of thing. He and his wife were even leaving them in the temple lockers (still had a recommend at the time), which probably really blew some TBM minds. I'm not sure I would advocate that, but leaving them in the BOM of a Marriott hotel would certainly be fair game.

I had a similar thought about advertising for FAIRMORMON.org. Just like with the essays, you could be completely open about because it is the opposite of "anti"...it's the good guys.
Since the essays came along, that might be the way to go, but I still like the idea of a sign on the ward bulletin board that reads something like "Are friends or relatives asking difficult questions? Go to FAIRMORMON.ORG. Critical Questions, Faithful Answers". Who could say anything was wrong with that?? And as we all know, when it comes down to it, there is nothing more anti-Mormon than the truth (and Mormon apologetics
).

I found MormonThink.com thanks to brave souls waiving signs in the street at the BYU football home game.
