the rapture? say what?
Oh, if any of you really believe you are going to the rapture put your money where your beliefs are and pay the guy on craigslist who is sure he is not raptured to take care of your pets when you leave them behind.

Glad to see concerned folks are responding. Maybe our community can start a similar fund?

Seattle Post Intelligencer - A fringe Christian group has been busy lately warning the world about the coming Rapture, which it claims will be here on May 21. California-based Family Radio is spearheading the cause and has purchased billboards around the country asking commuters to mark May 21 on their calendars. They say that's the day when Jesus will return and true Christians will be spirited off to heaven, leaving the rest of the population to suffer through the last five months of their lives until God destroys the Earth on October 21.

With that thought in mind, a local group called Seattle Atheists is now taking donations for a "Rapture Relief Fund" to help those who are left behind. "To help us help you, we've created 'Rapture Relief,' an aid fund for the unfortunate people left behind," said John Keiser of Seattle Atheists. "When you give to this fund, Seattle Atheists will use the money to help survivors of any Armageddon-sized disaster in the Puget Sound area." Keiser and the 280 other members of Seattle Atheists have already raised $800 for the fund, and they hope to have $5,000 by May 21.

Aloha,

It should be about 1 (or maybe noon) Hawaii time.[}]

Oh no!!! This leaves me with so many questions because my son is supposed to dance at UHH Performing Arts Center that day, right around the time the rapture is scheduled. (Talk about a scheduling conflict!)

So my questions: Is it too late to convert? How does one become "rapture-worthy"? And assuming I "cut the mustard", would I still be allowed to attend my son's performance? Or will I be forced up to heaven against my will? And lastly, how bad a human being would you have to be to get on Jesus' hit list?

One group (People's Front of Judea?) say it will happen at 6pm Jerusalem time
(5am Hawaii) another group says it will happen at 6pm in each timezone.
Whatever the case, I hope air traffic control isn't asleep on the job.

Oh that's cool..so mainland folks who miss rapture on the east coast can driveor fly west and catch a later edition!

[Chuysmom]

You guys are so funny! Haa Haa! "People's Front of Judea" - cracked me up...wasn't that from The Life of Brian???

(Or was it the Judean People's Front?? - LOL)

Well, in any case it seems to be a topic that spurs the funny bones of PWebbers. []

No, not really, that is hysterical. I am laughing.
