A local newspaper article published December 2, 2009 described these three Rapture sites. According to the article, "basic Rapture doctrine says Jesus will unexpectedly return and will bring faithful Christians to Heaven, leaving non-believers and followers of other faiths to face a prolonged period of global strife."
RaptureReady.com, founded by Todd Strandberg of Benton, Arkansas, in 1987, features the weekly Rapture Index. How, if Jesus is returning unexpectedly, this index is supposed to have any predictive value is beyond me. Maybe Jesus will return when the index is at its lowest value rather than its highest.
YouveBeenLeftBehind.com, a subscription-based service, lets its members store messages and e-mail addresses of those they want to reach after the Rapture. But if there's global strife, especially if the time of Tribulation immediately follows the Rapture, would those messages even get delivered?
The atheist-run site Eternal Earthbound Pets is committed all those pets from Christian homes where the owners have ascended to be with Jesus. Poor Spot and Fluffy. But those who think they are bound for Heaven can keep their pets safe by subscribing to this service. What's $110 a pet for peace of enraptured mind?
