Is this a part time job and/or are you selling franchises?

that is awesome jack! this is almost as good a scam as eternal life! it is every bit as good as waterproof burial vaults lifetime guarantee!
lets say, there is a rapture, how will you know you got your money's worth?
and in the likely event there is not a rapture, they have your money anyways!
so the atheists are cashing in on the gullibility of religious cult zealots!
where do i sign up. i noticed there is no operation in indiana. i'm in!!

I think the Salmon have the best plan. Swim upstream as hard as you can and mate w/ as many females as possible. Leave the rest to fate.

Hmm sounds like a good plan. How long can you hold your breath?

Just a blip in the long list of a$$hats that preach this. The night before the rapture (round midnight) a few friends and I put out full sets of clothes in random areas about five or six if I recall. Sidewalk, shopping center, a home depot, one in my front yard behind my lawn mower, etc. There was beer involved.

This 2012 thing is getting way out of hand.

Western civilization is slowly dying and in a couple generations things may not be anywhere the same but everyone's caught up on the suddenly everyone's going to die hopelessness scenario.

In fact I think a collapse is quite likely but I can't put a date on it and I can't be sure of it and I certainly don't follow the beliefs of the 2012ers who think that it is unsurvivable and everyone dies and preparing is futile.

The only flaw in that is they only get to do it one time.

All of which sheds light on the hidden genius of Alfred E Neuman and the "What me Worry?" approach to impending doom, imminent Prophecies, and all the sneaky characters who make a living off of them.....
