You know what the guy who thought of this does for a living?  Swims in his Scrooge McDuck tower of gold coins and treasure.

Q: How do you ensure your representatives won't be Raptured.
A: Actually, we don't ensure it, they do. Each of our representatives has stated to us in writing that they are atheists, do not believe in God / Jesus, and that they have blasphemed in accordance with
Mark 3:29, negating any chance of salvation.

I just emailed them and asked them if they offer franchises.

If so, can I be involved somehow?  I will take the greater Wichita area. 

This is amazing.

Best idea since Jewish usury, IMO.

This is pretty fantastic. It was online at USA today a month or so ago. He wouldn't say how much money he has made, but said he had clients all over. The comments below the USA today article were awesome.

Nothing? Nothing?  Apparently you aren't a pet owner.

Not a religious d00d and was wondering something. I thought when the rapture came, Jeebus took all believers to heavanville and blew the crap out of everything else?  Wouldn't the pets die anyway :dunno:  I think this guy may be ripping people off.

I was told by a certain OK resident on a certain other board that the believers will go to heaven while the rest of us will be "left behind".  Didn't mention being blown.  I'm down with that.

I think the plan is, L Ron comes back in the space ship and all level 8 thetans get to jump in with him.  Can't wait.  I think all the other losers have to stay here in a thetan-less world and that is punishment enough.

"im not a christian.. I'm a Solerian. Its a religious sect out of fresno, we believe that there was a typo in the bible, and that Jesus' name was actually "Jesu 5". We also believe that it was written that the mesiah will come when the lions gather around the big bald mountain. We believe in that and thou shall not commit sarcasm. Also, when the mesiah comes he will tell us to make patios out of permeable material. Those whom he asks will certainly be the chosen people. Those people will guide us through the apocolypse and into paradise. From them, we will repopulate the earth"

just something to think about  :dunno:

Horrible news guys.  They emailed me back and they are NOT franchising. 

I say we start our own.  I think we could offer this service for half the price.  Obviously this would not be enough revenue to cover all the costs once the rapture happens (work with me here).  So, we'll secure insurance through Asian underwriters in the event that the rapture is realized....a firm with a cultural profile that assures us that they'll still be here after the rapture.  This will give us enough operating cash to fulfill our obligations.  Sure, we'll have a smaller margin to work with than our competitors, but we'll  make it up in volume.

we can lobby lawmakers to make sure we get a bailout when it looks like the shits about to hit the fan.  some kind of fannie/freddie guarantee
