When you get Raptured, you can leave messages for up to 62 people you know who have been...well...Left Behind... You've Been Left Behind

Talking to oneself is, I believe, considered a sign of lunacy. Thinking to oneself is most certainly a sign of it. - G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936), in January, 1906

| | Hey, what a deal! For only $40 PER YEAR I can send out that last hope that those who've rejected Christ will now surely repent! Boy, do I smell a rat!  |

To Whom It May Concern:
You should be ashamed for stealing people's money. $40 (and that per year!!!) for a service that will never be used? I realize you may have good intentions with this, but now that you've been confronted you should strongly consider looking into this and shutting down this "service," for your own coscience(s)' sake(s). Furthermore, even if this secret rapture of the Church were biblical, don't you realize that something like the rapture will not change hearts? Don't you remember Abraham's words to Rich Man in hell?
Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
For the sake of God's Honor, please reconsider.
Sincerely,
--

| | | Maybe this is a bad time to offer my PB brethren a new product I have been enlisted to market in a pyramid marketing structure. The idea is pretty simple. In order to raise money for some important church construction, I have been authorized to provide--for a modest donation on your part--a free and full remission of sins, avoiding aeons of purgative unpleasantness. Oh, well, never mind.

| | There were some avowed atheists who offered this service a few years ago. They were unrepentant and quoted Scripture proving that they were going to hell and would certainly be "left behind", so they were the perfect people to be entrusted with messages for those "left behind". It was a spoof on their part, but I left them a message asking them to reconsider the Gospel - it seemed a public-spirited thing to do.
From the site; Quote: |
We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the "Rapture" of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.
| What if they're carnal Christians and don't go up in the Rapture? I guess they can trigger it themselves in that case. |
