This has to be the best scam I’ve seen in a long time.* (HT: The Riddleblog)
The home page of youvebeenleftbehind.com explains the purpose of this “ministry.”
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.
You’ve Been Left Behind will send your email message to up to sixty-two of your loved ones who didn’t make the rapture.
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.
“But wait,” you say, “who will send the emails?” Good question. I wondered, too. Maybe they have a few volunteers on staff who have intentionally, sacrificially put off “making a decision for Christ” until after the rapture. A risky move, for sure, but what an expression of evangelistic zeal and love that would be! But no, they’ve got it figured out:
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.
Okay, now that you’re hooked, what will this cost you?
The cost is $40 for the first year. Re-subscription will be reduced as the number of subscribers increases. Tell your friends about You've Been left behind.
Alright, what are you waiting for? Subscribe now! Get my re-subscription rate down!
*I am not mocking anyone’s eschatology here. I am ridiculing anyone who thinks God will be left short-handed when I’m gone. I’m pretty sure he’s got things under control.

Unreal! More kookiness in the Church? Hey, why am I not surprised.
And the sad thing is thousands upon thousands of people we send in the 40 bucks.
Doctrinal-wise I have never even seen the Rapture stated in Scripture. The 2 letters to the Thessalonians, if looked at in the context, is speaking to us of Christ's one and only return.
I know some would say it's two returns, but I can not see it for the life of me.
And some would say Paul is speaking of 70 AD. Don't see that either; not in these two epistles at least. I do see 70 AD in other passages.
Thanks for letting me get some eschatology off my chest.
