Excellent resources!
You know, I must really be a sucker for pets, because even though I find the Rapture ridiculous, I sort of feel for the owners who think they will be leaving behind a pet. And I am sort of annoyed at the pet-watchers for bilking them, but on the other hand, they do have peace of mind.

Then they shouldn't have pets.
I'm not being facetious. If you genuinely believe this is going to happen, you have no business taking on responsibility for the life of an animal.
If I am being facetious, then I'd say they also have no business driving cars or boiling things on the stove or doing any of a host of things that would be dangerous to others if suddenly interrupted.

Every time I see one of those bumper stickers that says "In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned" all I can think is "but what about the Commandment 'thou shalt not kill'?"
Dorks.

It's only bilking if they don't follow through after the Rapture.

Exactly.
Turns out my shredder wasn't broken last night. It just overloaded. Now? Now it's broken. Won't shred anything more than two sheets thick. Which means I had to open a lot of envelopes and refold pages before I could shred them. Still, my dining table is visible again. And the paper cuts will heal.
Hah. I started the whole Rapture-pet-sitting-service convo here at work; it was suggested that the Rapture will be preceeded by a 5-minute "intercom" warning, allowing you to safely park your car (or land the plane you're piloting, or what have you) BEFORE being bodily whisked off this mortal sphere.
Thoughtful, eh?

Can you still repent during that 5-minute period? If you can, that's going to piss a lot of people off.
