The service is rooted in the belief held by some evangelicals in the
Rapture, a sudden visit from God in which Christians are taken away to
Heaven leaving the rest to spend a further seven years on Earth under
the dominion of the Anti-Christ.

Christian service 'sends email from the dead'

A new internet service allows Christian subscribers to send emails to
non-believing friends and relatives after they have died.

By Tom Leonard in New York
Published: 10:30PM BST 11 Jun 2008

Youvebeenleftbehind.com offers users a facility to store emails and
documents that are sent to up to 63 email addresses six days after the
sender and fellow believers have been transported to Heaven.

Some of the messages can be encrypted information such as bank account
details and electronic passwords. The rest can be spiritual
encouragement such as Biblical passages intended to bring loved ones
"to Christ and snatch them from the flames".

The service is rooted in the belief held by some evangelicals in the
Rapture, a sudden visit from God in which Christians are taken away to
Heaven leaving the rest to spend a further seven years on Earth under
the dominion of the Anti-Christ.

The website, whose motto reads "Because 'No one knows the day or
hour'", says it "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."

Youvebeenleftbehind.com was created by Mark Heard, a 49-year-old
supermarket shelf-stacker from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

He said he got the idea in 1999 while trading in shares online. It
suddenly occurred to him that he would not be able to send his trading
password to his wife if the Rapture suddenly took him, he said.

Membership costs $40 (�20) a year but Mr Heard would not reveal how
many people had signed up.

Recognising when the Rapture has actually happened is obviously an
issue for the email server.

The service will be triggered if any three of Mr Heard's five
employees fail to log on to their work accounts for six days.

"We don't want these things to go out early," said Mr Heard.

Randy Maddox, a theology professor at Duke University, was sceptical.

He told ABC News : "In one sense, they're arguing it will be a time of
great disaster, but in another sense he's saying, 'I promise my
website will be working'. There are logical incongruities with the
model."

I've been preparing brochures for a new idea: Pastor-assisted Rapture. Your
pastor can hasten the rapture so that one with $500 can be first in line
through an early death.

Not from that outfit.

MY PLAN however does give you a plastic Jesus at the $499.00 level.
How ever the line will be long at that price.
MY PLAN offers several levels, each one gives a higher place in the line.
$799.00 (Glow in the dark Jesus)
$999.00 (GIDJ and bible)
$1666.99 (GIDJ and glow in dark bible)
MY PLAN has higher levels of course.
Call or write for pricing.
I can't reveal them here but some of the plans put you right near the head
of teh line and come with the jesus, the bible and a car to put them in.
