I woke up yesterday morning to find my 17 year olds shoes, jeans, and favorite shirt laying in my front lawn, pretending God had taken her. Her best friend took a picture of it and posted to facebook, as did many of her friends.
She also wore to work a shirt that looks blood covered and says "This is my zombie killing shirt"
I think my favorite was her best guy friend who put his clothes around the toilet and posted it to facebook, and called it Rapturd Day.
I am christian and did not believe this was going to happen. My 17 year old is an atheist and thought it amusing that people would believe this when the Bible says no one will know.
I am very sorry if anyone is offended by this!
We were away overnight at a wedding. When we got home in the morning, my sister had helped them with their plot. All of them had a pile of clothes and went "poof"! I loved it, i thought it was so cute :) My little nephew had left behind his truck he was taken so fast....lol!
Ohhhhhh I wish I had read this before Sunday, I would've done that myself!!! lol
My 8 yr old woke up at 6:15 am Sunday and I could hear him yelling for me from his room " Mom! this dosen't look like Heaven to me ! "..........hehehe
That's awesome LOL My kids didn't pull any pranks ... but if they had wanted to I would have helped LOL LOVE the helium filled blow up doll idea ... that had to be hysterical LOL
i think your kid is a hoot!
:DD
khairete
S.
I think it's funny. VERY funny.
And Dawn--Sorry, I'm a Christian too, and I think you need to look up "over-react" in the dictionary! Sheesh.
You made me laugh. Love folks with a good sense of humor.
Well we had told people we were willing for a price to take car of their homes if they were raptured to just give us the codes to their home and leave us their keys to their vehicles and homes.
We also saw a car with its hazard lights blinking and no one inside. We thought "maybe the owner had been raptured." We were thinking if we had been stopped by the police, we would have told them "the Mercedes owner has been raptured, so we were just taking care of it for them".
I also did a "roll call" on facebook to make sure we were all still accounted for.. it was pretty funny.
I just want to go on record saying it is indeed possible to be a Christian and have a sense of humor.
My kids are all under the age of five, so pretty underdeveloped sense of humor right now. Thank you for sharing.
I now know what that meant lol. We have a local burger place that puts jokes on their roadside sign and it said we blame obama for rapture day (joke since obama is blamed for everything). I didn't get it until just now, thanks haha. I think most christians who really know the bible didn't believe in what that guy was saying. and wow dawn, I had no idea he made that much money off of it. Dawn I too don't think the actual event is a laughing matter... I believe they were making fun because everyone knew it wasn't going to happen because no one knows when it will.
My kid isn't old enough to prank but a friend of mine had this as his facebook status: "My friend got raptured and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. It was on his couch. Also, I'm selling a pair of shoes... used. And a couch."
I think it entirely possible to have a sense of humor and to be a Christian and I think your 17 yr. old is hilarious.
I definitely think this guy needed to be laughed at, b/c someone at church told me that this is his 3rd prediction so far. So I said, I'm starting to loose confidence in him. But honestly, I don't know who he is and have always ignored anyone who thinks they have a date in mind. The bible is clear on that topic...only God knows.
But after reading this funny post, I'm hoping the old self-proclaimed prophet will come up with another date and we can plan our own pranks.
I have a great sense of humor, and see some of the humor in some of this. But I also agree with Dawn and Monkeyzmom that it will someday happen and be a very serious time. Until then, I do need to laugh and have fun and live my life and try my best to honor God. Ive been offended by somethings a few people said about it on Saturday(not here but in my real life) but for the most part it was all humor from ignorance and silliness. I hope I dont offend anyone. We all have our own feelings and opinions.
For those who think these jokes are disrespectful of God or religion, I want to say that these jokes are on the man who predicted the end. I don't think they are making fun of a real rapture. It's the fake one that caused the humor.
Very funny! I wish I'd thought of it.
No, but I did put a post on Facebook telling people that since it was the last day they should share all of their secrets. (of course people just made stuff up which is what I was going for). I put that I am a super spy, I secretly took down Bin Laden and just gave seals the credit so my cover wouldn't be blown. The next day I added we were screwed because we gave all our secrets away and are still here.
So far one of my facebook friends
One has the secret recipe to KFC's chicken
One is a third degree ninja
One is really an alien
One is a Vampire and knows the truth to all of the conspiracy theories and will live long enough to see everyone pay.
I also heard of people filling blow up dolls full of helium and letting them go at six o'clock so it looked like people were ascending to Heaven.
On the not so nice side, I also heard of people taking non-refundable deposits to take care of the pets left behind when the owners were taken. One guy made like 5 grand. Craziness.
Really, I wasn't making fun of the Rapture. I was making fun of the people who thought they knew when it was coming. If the prediction hadn't been made then we wouldn't have known when to play all of the pranks, that's the humor behind it.
I don't really think it's laughing matter. I guess I'm not offended by it, but I sure wouldn't joke about it...it's going to happen one day, and then do you think your daughter will be laughing? If you are a Christian, please...please...try to get her to understand, and do what you can to open her eyes. It's not funny at all.
OMG - that is the funniest thing I have EVER heard. I love your kid and her friend!
Oh, I am Christian and believe in the real Rapture.
But, o-o-o-o-o, too funny.
Kinda' wish I had thought of it.
God Bless
I am also a Christian and didn't believe that it would happen that way. (I know Christ will return - we just don't know the day or time.) Anyway - I think what your daughter and her friends did was hilarious !
Your daughter is hilarious :) Good for her!
That is soooo funny :)
I'm with you Denise! She had the subject in the title and apologized at the end. but by the title maybe one should know not to read it if it would be offensive! Or a simple No would work too!
No pranks here.
I think the biggest prank was from the guy who started up the whole business.
He pulled it on all those people who sent him money, and yeah, it's a multi-million dollar business for him.
I expect he was saying HE was going to be one of the 200 million of the faithful who had first class seats on a direct flight to heaven, but if he was going - what did he need the money for?
Gee, do you think he's going to send any of it back?
I don't THINK so.
Somehow, when he eventually does really make it to the afterlife, I have a sneaking feeling this guys place will be right next to Bernie Maddoff, and I'm thinking it's not going to be a spot in heaven.
I love it! Wish I had pulled this on my kids, lol!!!!
