Oh, I forgot-- Yesterday, in the mail, I got a pamphlet that made me laugh. I have no idea how they got my name, but it was actually addressed to me (to me or to current resident). It labels itself as a 'Post Rapture Survival Guide.' There are instructions on the outside, telling me to photocopy it as many times as I can and leave the copies where they will be found by the 'Left Behind' after the Rapture so that they will know what has happened and what they should do next. It also mentions 'Rapture ID cards.' I'm not sure what those are supposed to be for-- Do people leave their clothes and wallets behind when they're taken in the Rapture? If people do, I suppose those cards might tell the Left Behind who a particular pile of clothing belonged to.

The pamphlet was sent out by some folks called Anointed by Grace Designs. They have a website and a blog and profiles on LinkedIn.

I haven't actually opened the pamphlet to look inside. I'm not sure I should. It might make me laugh more or it might not. It might make me sad that there are people so very eager to leave this world behind and so very convinced of their own virtue that they're sure they will be among the elect while all those other, unworthy folks will be abandoned.

But where on earth could they have gotten my name and address that they'd think I'd expect to be taken in the Rapture?

I have been added to the NRA email listserv and I'm scared to try to force myself off it. I do not know how this happened. It worries me sometimes.

It is kind of puzzling sometimes. I mean, at least I know why the AARP keeps bugging me. (I'm disinclined to join the AARP, even once I'm of age to, because they tend to have policies that are fairly hostile to programs for children.)

It is possible that you might be able to unsubscribe without it being a big deal. In my experience, messages sent out that way pretty much always have an unsubscribe option in the small print at the bottom. I think they're required by law to do so. Of course, that doesn't address the fear part of things, and the NRA is not... Well, I can see why you wouldn't assume they'd be reasonable people.
