Jun 6 2008Online Service Sends Emails To Nonbelieving Friends/Family Left Behind After The "Rapture"

So much for faith. Three out of five? An extra three days to be sure?

1992? I dont seem to have gotten the email.

3 out of 5? in other words, two "of our 5 Christian team members scattered around the U.S" are really bad people and will be left behind after the rapture.

btw, "Rapture", starring Mimi Rogers, was a terrible movie. except for her huge naked tits

Sheesh. I'm a Christian and I find this sort of thing irritating.

Wow! As a Christian I expected a whole lot of flaming here and was ready to defend the Faith but alas, nothing!

Not that it's a bad thing as it's more of a testament to the comments section regarding respect for the beliefs of others.

I must applaud you all!!!! Bravo!

Now, back to my regular job of being a douchbag....

I'm irritated that people make money off of really, really, incrediably stupid, non productive shit like this. How come I didn't come up with the idea first?

Can the messge be downloaded straight into Outlook and my Blackberry? I'm a busy man and constantly in meetings. I don't want to miss the rapture.

Why can't I just think of a nice, straight forward scam like this.

I would have thought the Geekologie writer would have sent something to the Superficial Writer.

The door was WIDE open for a crossover joke there.

StuffChristiansLike.net just posted a blog about this the other day, although not by name. Enjoy this humorous take on it!

Mh. I would like to shake hands with a person that payed 40$ for thins kind of service.

Pffff... for $40 a year, I'll not only email all your newly-screwed friends and family members, I'll even go to their houses and point and laugh in their faces.

...Actually, I'm loaded. I don't need your stupid $40/year. I'll do it for free. Just give me the addresses and I'll cruise over in my Porsche. Being Satanic is just fantastic.

Rapture...oy vey. That is all.

This is like bullshit, isn't it?

I think my email to my future self, would be a little different.

Future Self,

Way to go, asshole. Your cure for loneliness fucked you again.

This 6 days later crap is LAME.. If this really does happen it'll be old news.. as everyone would have figured it out already.. ah duh shit load of people missing. Besides what would you send them anyway? "HAHA I made it and you didn't! SUCK TO BE YOU DUDE!" Really..

However as far as a scam goes this is pretty sweet.. I mean who cares if you really didn't set it up to mail anyone at all. If the rapture happened then the purchaser''ll be in heaven (assuming they made the cut) and thus won't give two shits about complain anyway.. not like they'd ask for their money back.

Ah the money to be made being an asshole..

I show this one to my girlfriend and she was like, oh I know my mother would be pretty much using that website

wont we all have better things to do when the "rapture" comes than check our e-mail? reading your horoscope and forwarding chain emails sounds a little trivial at that point...
i thnk this rapture business sounds a little farfetched, like xenu and jesus. having a tea party in space. it IS the final frontier...

Oh for craps sake. Jesus even said he doesn't know when the world's gonna end and that only the father (God) does so if you're gonna beleive one thing, you've got to take into account the source where you got the whole idea from!

I'll give you a dollar if you can find anything about the rapture in the bible.

Have fun with that.

Jared,

from Mark, ch 13, verse 24-27

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light. 25 And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that are in heaven shall be moved. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

The end part - "gather together his elect" - is the "rapture".

And in the Book of Revelation, Ch 20, verse 15 - And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the pool of fire.

Jared,

if your point was that the word "rapture" does not appear in the bible, then you need to remember that the bible wasn't written in english (the old testament was written primarily in Hebrew, the new testament, primarily in greek), so finding the word "rapture" depends on the translation. but if you consider the etymology of the word rapture (below), then 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (or 4:17 depending on the translation) contains the rapture:
"Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be always with the Lord."

etymology:
"Rapture", when used in eschatological terms, is an English word used in place of the Latin word raeptius; taken from the Vulgate, which in turn is a translation of the Koine Greek word harpazo, which is found in the Greek New Testament manuscripts of 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
In many modern English translations of the Bible, harpazo is translated; "caught up", or "taken away".

OHSHIT! I was actually born on the 28th October, and I do look like Jesus!
the thing is...it was 3 years before 1992 =/
still...HOLY COW!

are you sure this isn't some joke that has to do with the movie?

wholly disappointed.

I looked them up on whois.net, and apparently their address is NOT Heaven. Their physical address came up on scam websites. :...(

Jeez, you'd think that the people who are supposed to know the difference, would. Read the BOOK fools. Nobody knows the day or time. And as far as the rapture thing goes, The Messiah said that He would take care of the chaff first then gather His wheat for the barn. I surely don't want to be one of the first to go.

i doubt anyone's going to be checking their email after a bunch of us go missing, but it's a cute thought. i sure wouldn't pay though. it's just easier to leave a "just in case" note, isn't it?

i found more information on this, and apparantly they'll also give out your bank pins and stuff to who you want so that your family can get your money since there wouldn't be any bodies and they won't declare you legally dead for 7 years. if you trust giving out your pins. . .
