Note nailed to church's door in retaliation

CUMMING, Ga. – A church pastor must have upset someone when he tacked literature on a wooden mailbox pole, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff's incident report.

On Aug. 4, an Antioch Baptist Church member changing the sign out front of the church, 2465 Antioch Road, noticed literature the pastor passes out in the community nailed to the front door.

The church literature and a note were nailed together with roofing nail. The note read: "I don't like holes in my things either."

When the pastor was contacted, he told the deputy that earlier in the day he passed literature out in the Pilgrim Mill Circle area.

The pastor said when he encountered a brick mailbox, he would tape the literature to the brick, but when he came across a wooden mailbox post, he would tack the literature to the wood.

The deputy took the nail, literature and note into evidence.

I wouldn't like someone nailing something to my mailbox post either.

From what i gathered the church did not nail it to the mailbox post but did as many do in my neighborhood. They just use a thumb tack to attach it. Most of the time their is always a tack that is left by someone else.

When I use to leave flyer's in a neighborhood where I pastored, I would fold them and stick them either into a slot on the post or take it to their door and slide it in a crack.
