Why on earth do I lurk on Rapture Ready?
God, that place is crazier than a mental ward. I visit occasionally because part of me can't actually believe that these people exist!

I find myself laughing hysterically and then being scared to death that these people actually walk among us. I don't know what the fundies are putting in the communion wine, but it must be some heavy, heavy shit!

1. Maybe it's like watching a trainwreck.
You just can't look away :P

I like this site for intelligent discussion of topics: http://www.interfaith.org/forum

5. Dunno. The posts in R/T suggest a lot of folk lurk there to drool over
all the cool stuff they hope will be left behind: awesome porn collections, free copies of Grand Theft Auto, or whatever

11. Hahahaha
"I knew this one guy once at a job i had back in 1980. One day he came to work and he was all shaken up. Then he confessed to me something he observed. He said he saw either his cat, or *a* cat...that was litererally speaking like a human. Actual words. I cant remember what the words were now, maybe something along the lines of..Help meeee"? ( i know he could have gotten that from the movie The Fly) ..or maybe i projected those words in my memory, not sure, but he did say it was speaking actual words. My memory is vague now, but i think he said he tried rebuking (the demon?) in the name of Jesus, and it finally left the cat.."

13. The "Rapture Index" Today is 171. "Fasten your seat belts" time, according to this."
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 01:25 PM by yellowcanine
You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we're moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.

Rapture Index of 100 and Below: Slow prophetic activity
Rapture Index of 100 to 130: Moderate prophetic activity
Rapture Index of 130 to 160: Heavy prophetic activity
Rapture Index above 160: Fasten your seat belts


Kind of funny that they would say "Fasten your seat belts." as one would think that the only people needing to do that in the event of imminent Rapture would be those LEFT BEHIND when all of those driver-less cars are careening down the highway.
