I've wanted to start a pet sitting service for the "other members of the family that will be left behind" that used only devout people of other faiths.
Then again, maybe not.

Again? They said they wouldn't do it...

Great!
My girlfriend left me... to visit her family in Ventura, CA.
I have three days for myself, pizza, beer and tv before she comes back.

And I thought the Germans were no good a comedy!

I thought George Bush said nobody will be left behind.

OW! My left behind! I just mooned someone!

I especially like the part about members entering all of their financial information and power of attorney.

Here you go Margaraitaville.

guess it isn't going to be all that bad for those of us left behind if the internet is going to still be working and e-mail can be sent...
Posted by: dorakay | June 03, 2008 at 04:49 PM
And gee, what are you going to put in an email sent to people who have been left behind and are about to go through the Apocalypse? "Neener, Neener"? And they seem to be awfully certain that their five representatives who log in are a shoo in on the God List.
Posted by: Margaritaville | June 03, 2008 at 04:51 PM
Laughoutloud, fivver! I'll need those promptly.

This kind of incredible arrogance is why I quit going to church. Unbelievable! If there was a rapture, would they have to stay behind until they repaid $40 to each victim?

Oh puuuullllleeeeeezzze, get me away.
These people are nuts.
Posted by: WhiteSchnauzer | June 03, 2008 at 04:57 PM
Yeah, Alien, and are they going to take all the money they just stole---I mean "made", with them?

This reminds me of a Simpsons episode from several years ago with a religious movie titled "Left Below". I love it when satire predates the thing it's satirizing.

You gotta admit it's a pretty creative phishing strategy...

Good.
God.

THIS is kinda like us Lut'rans too, ain't it, fiv? ;)

I'd just love to see the uproar that would happen if someone hacked its protocols and set it off early. *EVIL GRIIIIIIN*

Sample messages:
"Howdy, I be in hebben, and you be stuck dere. Hab a nice day, an' all! Dat loud noise y'all heard last week? Yeah, dat wuz da Shout! Don't y'all wish yuh'd come wid us ta church once in a while now? HAHAHA."
"No harps, no wings, but a surprising amount of mead and busty Norse girls who want to know what battle we were felled in..."
"Now I can tell you the truth about Maude 'n me... Joe Bob looks a lot like me for a reason."
"Aaaaaagh! It burns! It burns! Just kidding! Haaaa-hah!"
"Armageddon tired of being ripped off by 'faith-based' con artists..."

The irony is that the only one left to man the servers when the Rapture hits will pull the plug before the emails are sent and then take a trip to the bank. :)
Hey.. Law enforcement all go to heaven and lawyers stay here. What are you going to do?
Posted by: Will | June 03, 2008 at 05:58 PM
LOL CH (LTTS- HI!!!)
How 'bout...
"Hah! Mohamed?? there's only 71 virgins!"
Posted by: Siouxie | June 03, 2008 at 05:59 PM
Messages sent out 6 days after the rapture
But, I mean, won't that be too late? I mean, isn't that it?

So .... Heaven is in Nigeria?

Please warn before linking to neocon "Christian" sites....thanks.

...don't mean to be cranky, but I hope those people rot.

"Left behind" was obviously tongue-in-cheek...ha ha. But I'm with most of you. Scary stuff.
Let's hope that the kitty gets there right before I do. He won't move a muscle now...but maybe he'll show his claws against the "others". My Hero! And my Husband, he'll be around too. I feel pretty good about this.

I can't help but think that this would be a great place to store all of my dirty pictures....
Ya know, if I had any.
