As with any creepy belief system there always seems to some type of profit at the end of the Jesus-like rainbow. A little change to be made off the true believer.
The rapture left-behind fundamentalist crowd seems to be no different in this sense.
And with that i bring you - YouveBeenLeftBehind.com a new level of religious profiteering.
According to the company's obscure mission statement this is what they do:
You've Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends For Christ. Imagine being in the presence of the Lord and hearing all of heaven rejoice over the salvation of your loved ones. It is our prayer that this site makes it happen.
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
We all have family and friends who have failed to receive the Good News of the Gospel.The unsaved will be 'left behind' on earth to go through the "tribulation period" after the "Rapture". You remember how, for a short time, after (9/11/01) people were open to spiritual things and answers. (We are still singing "God Bless America" at baseballs' seventh inning stretch.) Imagine how taken back they will be by the millions of missing Christians and devastation at
the rapture. They will know it was true and that they have blown it. There will be a small window of time where they might be reached for the Kingdom of God. We have made it possible for you to send them a letter of love and a plea to receive Christ one last time. You can also send information based on scripture as to what will happen next. Each fulfilled prophecy will cause your letter and plea to be remembered and a decision to be made.
Well to sum it up what the fine folks at this website do is collect $40 from you, which in-turn allow you to store some personal documents , letters and such which will be then sent to your unsaved relatives while you hover up to heaven to meet Jesus and all of your old pets. Its hard to put into words just how terrible this is. Forget the fact that this is blatant praying on the ultra religious, and completely insane (that's the only part of this i sorta like), the entire concept its flawed even if it did attempt to function the way it did:
1. Are the employees of this "company" planning on staying down here on earth while Armageddon happens? i guess they only hire heathen assholes to work for them to make sure everything runs smoothly and none of the employees get ruptured up to heaven.
2. They are assuming the Internet is going to function during a cataclysmic end-times event? aren't rivers supposed to turn into blood? wars ravage the planet? explosions and all of that shit? . Well i guess google will still function so good thinking there.
3. No ability to get refund in the event this shit does not work.
4. How is this asinine operation "Rapture Triggered?" is there a special Jesus detection system they have in place?
there is so much to this that drives me completely insane.
