(During a conversation on "Feeling odd about doing things, knowing Jesus is coming so soon." This particular one actually made me sad.)
This is exactly how I feel! I had always held to my desire to marry and have a family. But I came to realize, through God speaking to my heart, that it may not come to pass. And the desire has diminished over the past two months. And today, it really hit me. I'd MUCH rather be raptured away now than marry and have a family. And I realize that even if we're around for a while, I'm spared having to worry about how to care for my children. But any hopes or plans for the future really don't appeal to me any more. I hear people talking about hoping to marry their boyfriend/girlfriend in the future, and it just strikes me as strange.
I do feel that pull away. People still seem so concerned with their plans, and with having fun. I'm much more interested in looking for Jesus.

Yet you all are so FUCKING concerned with people who are not "holy and heterosexual".

Oh, we know, all hope is lost. Sounds like you are mentally fucked up and you need to seek treatment.
I'm spared having to worry about how to care for my children.
You're a fucking dick.
Once more, death cult. Always looking for the end, rather than enjoying and living life, is not healthy.
I'm much more interested in looking for Jesus.
I saw him at the bus station in some downtown in Mississippi. He was blowing a drifter, trying to get enough cash to get the fuck away from the likes of you.
Probably best for you to not breed. We have enough stupidity on the planet these days.
I'm interested in seeing what condition you will be in 40 years from now...what a bleak, lonely existence it will have been, waiting for the apocalypse and too afraid to do anything for your entire life. Perspective...get some.
I was raised in a family that believed like this. College was out of the question: "Don't let Armageddon find you sitting on a classroom bench when you should be working for the lord!"
Marrying and having kids was discouraged: "With so much work to be done in such a short time, getting distracted by the responsibilities of a family seems unwise, does it not? Better to remain single/ childless and see the work through to the end. Then, afterwards, god will give each of us our heart's desire, and if you desire children, he will give them to you, then."
A lot of sad, lonely lives. And today a lot of spinsters saying, "I never thought I'd get to be so old on this side of the New System."
""And I realize that even if we're around for a while, I'm spared having to worry about how to care for my children""
That is exceptionally frightening...

Have fun p***ing away your life.
Jennifleur. God wishes you to make the most of your life. He's stuck in a bit of traffic and doesn't want you to wait up for him....I almost stayed serious.
@FundieBasher:
Reading this I'm reminded of a lyric from Amanda Mc Broom's "THE ROSE"
'And the soul, afraid of dying
No, this doesn't make me sad. It makes me want to slap her. Jennifleur is yet another able-bodied, healthy person throwing her life away for a delusion. There are people out there with inhibiting disabilities and diseases living life to the full. She is just a pathetic waste of space living in a fantasy.
You get no sympathy from me, fundie. Just waste your life and don't speak a word of your ideologies. You will just die disappointed for not seeing the rapture. Religion has robbed you of purpose and ruined your life, if that is what you find fulfilling, I will not comment any further.
Good, don't get married. You'd just be slave to some ignorant man, have a couple kids and fuck them up royally before the age of five, then spend all your time bitching on RaptureReady when they bring home the latest crap pop album or you find a porn mag under the mattress. There are definitely enough of you in the world.
Sounds like a lazy bitch.
Instead of taking responsibility for her life and hr own family dshe could have in the future, she prefers to dream about god taking her away to Taka Tuka land where no such responsibilities would exist and god fulfilled all ehr wishes.
Rather selfish these rapturists ;)

Hey, at least you won't be filling the planet with more stupid fundie twats like yourself.

And we're spared your mentally deficient seed.

Well, the world does need fast food workers.

You don't need to. I found him under the couch humping a dust bunny.

Why? Will Jesus stay away and postpone the Rapture if he catches Jennifleur having fun instead of watching out for him? That sounds like a lot of power to be in the hands of one RR lunatic.
Oddly, my parents are the rapture type and think it's soon (have since 2001, and don't think the world will last until 2010) but yet are adamant on sending me to college.
Well, more like I'm adamant on it and they support my wishes...
'I'd MUCH rather be raptured away now than marry and have a family.'
You are SERIOUSLY fucked up, lady. Get yourself to a psychiatrist for some serious deprogramming.
'I hear people talking about hoping to marry their boyfriend/girlfriend in the future, and it just strikes me as strange.'
Waiting for a 'rapture' that will never occur is a LOT stranger than marrying & raising a family. I'm newlywed and my wife and I couldn't care less about your so-called 'rapture'. Get your head out of your ass & live the best life you can in THIS world.
Read your bible. In Matthew 16:28 Jesus stands infront of his followers and said to their faces, that he would rapture them before they died. Those men died, over 2,000 years ago.
Get out and live your life.
if he doesn't turn up soon, sales of koolaid will rocket.
These RR people are wishing their lives away, and making life unpleasant for everyone they come into contact with, with their endless "he's coming soon" crap
As jesus walked up to the lonely, gray house, he paused. It was the correct time and place yet he could not ring the doorbell to call his children home. For inside, Jennifleur was not looking out the window awaiting his arrival as she should have been. Sounds of happiness leaked through the door slapping the savior in his face. Downtrodden, jesus turns and walks away - he had lost another one.
You know, if these quotes that have been showing up here for the last six months or so are indicative of the general level of discourse on Rapture Ready, I'd have to put it on the same list of sites promoting mental illness as pro-ana, chronic Lyme, and delusional parasitosis support sites.
I mean, there's plenty of Elmer Gantryism out there, but this goes way past that. This is some kind of fucked-up folie à deux en masse. A thing I wonder about people like this... they turn out to be right, they get to heaven, and God says "So what do you think of the world I created? Pretty fuckin' cool, heh?" And they have no response, because they spent their lives trying to avoid it. The insulted reaction on the face of the Deity would be... amusing.
Honey if we're still around come 2012, and that's actually very likely to happen, I'm sure you have a backup plan for getting to them tall pearl-studded gates of heaven. Death cults tend to have such plans in place.
And all largely because some lying, snivelling piece of shit calling himself a pastor has helped to poison her mind and countless others like hers.
In a sane world it would be illegal and severely punishable.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
