Machine writing can duplicate hand writing to a very good degree. I get "hand addressed" envelopes from DirecTV and AT&T regularly, but a close examination reveals it has been printed out on a printer. No evidence of a pen being used.
 

What is Verse 5? As in V/5, instead of V15. Just checking...

Looks like:

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

Religious nutjob, thinks its a wise investment in time, envelopes, and stamps, to hand write cryptic bible verses to complete strangers. Or people they read about in news sources or in public records.

Complete, utter nut job.

Probably has sovereign citizen nut job friends as well.

Throw it in the trash, lose no sleep over it.

It's odd that someone actually mailed a letter!

We.. uh some folks used to use this as part of a mind fuck program. Maybe you got a random happy birthday card from some third world country or a blank piece of paper from Uruguay. Just sayin.

Did you find the letters H.L.? Hannibal likes to toy with his meal.

I received the same letter a couple of days ago. The return address was Rev20Ver15 and the handwriting was identical to your pic. Inside was a printed paper with Deuteronomy 5:1-22.
Was this the only letter you received or should I expect this person to come looking for me? I Googled it because it was so odd and your post on this forum was the only result I got. To be honest it left me feeling a little uneasy.

I got a call this morning from a woman that wanted to share some Bible verses with me.

I’ve received a couple of handwritten letters from those poor misguided folks lately.

Inside was a single piece of paper titled "In GOD we trust" and then it lists the bible verse Deuteronomy 5 (6-21). It was mailed out of Oklahoma City and had a postage stamp applied. I am not a religious person so I am not on any kind of lists or anything. Who would take the time to hand-write the envelope, pay for postage, and mail this to me???? I have tried searching the internet to see if this is something happening, but could not find anything. Very strange. Has anyone heard of anything like this?

Deuteronomy?

I had a guy call me many times. About once per month. I challenged his doctrine and even called him back a couple of times. He got a little annoyed with me and said, “we’re not going to agree so what’s the point”. I kind of let him have it for giving up on me and for not challenging the man-made, unbiblical doctrine he was taught. He hasn’t called back in 5 months. Lame. Especially for a Jehovah’s Witness.

Indeed. Over the years I've received maybe three or four handwritten letters, with a short invitation to their church or to meet with one of their folks, and sometimes includes a separate printed piece of paper with a biblical verse or inspirational quote on it. Mostly from Jehovah Witnesses (they have a small church nearby, hidden in a small strip office complex), and I think I once got one from the Seventh-day Adventists as well. We also have a small but constantly rotating contingent of young male Mormons here, but they seem to prefer direct personal contact and I don't think I've received any letters from them.

Often, these small churches use children to write these handwritten letters, which may help explain the difficulty in reading them.

As I already have a faith I feel badly that they took the time, effort, and money to write a handwritten letter to me in a stamped envelope and then mail it, but it doesn't concern me that they did it, and I'm a fairly security/ privacy focused individual.

It can't hurt to be vigilant, but I'm betting that the handwritten letter you received is just a harmless attempt by a small church missionary to either help or recruit you.

I got one just this week.

I tried googling:

'Do Seventh-day Adventists send out weirdo cryptic letters?'

But it didn't yield any interesting results.

So, the answer to how to deal with it? "Return to sender." And the PO will just deliver the next one.

We've been getting notices for a previous property owner for 21 years, nothing has stopped them. I now treat it like email gone awry. I delete it without opening it.

As a Texan, you know that you can ignore anything from Oklahoma.

We got one recently. Seemed harmless and pretty Christian. I just interpreted as people trying to do “something“. Clearly the senders didn’t know us with disordered naming.

Why are y’all even having these dis-cussin’s? Just pitch the letter into the trash and move on; or do you like to argue just for the sake of arguing?

I’m pretty sure this is a discussion forum
