Haley Rivas Herrera is disgusted her 11-year-old daughter has been asked to deliver a book called National Sunday Law, which she calls “a conspiracy theory” and “extreme propaganda”.
Last week, stacks of National Sunday Law turned up at Haley Rivas Herrera’s Lower Hutt home for her 11-year-old daughter, Amelia, to deliver as part of her paper route.
She was disgusted that distribution company Ovato expected her daughter and other children to deliver material that contained what she called “a conspiracy theory” and “extreme propaganda”.
“It’s one thing to hand out supermarket flyers, but it’s another thing to be spreading around the messages in here,” Rivas Herrera said. The books would be going in the fireplace, she said.
According to NSL Project, the organization behind the mass mailing, 1.5 million copies of the 94-page paperback had been printed and distributed in New Zealand.
According to Stuff.com, Bob Larsen, a North Island lead pastor of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in New Zealand, said the book was not endorsed by the church.
“The church had no involvement in the publication or distribution of the book ... The church does not endorse or recommend this book.”
