I don’t believe it’s immoral at all. What you are selling these people and what they actually receive in return is peace of mind and some mental security over the welfare of their pet. The purchaser has already bought into this same concept with religion because their beliefs provide the exact same thing in the event of either the rapture or death. In their mind, whichever one comes first, everything will be “okie dokie”.
Aren’t the Rapture-Care people offering a service similar to that offered by a church? Churches ask people to tithe during their lifetimes and promise postmortem soul care, and post-Rapture pet care asks people to tithe during their time on Earth and offers post-Rapture pet care.
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone! It’s been working very nicely for hundreds of years now - check out all the bling we’ve screwed out of 'em!
I discovered a site that did that when I was unemployed three years ago. I asked if they needed any CA reps. They wrote back and said they’re not hiring right now (duh) but they had hundreds of memberships and thousands of inquiries on their coverage. I really wanted to try doing it just because I wanted to see if I could keep a straight face while doing my closing. 
Yeah. The whole I take care of your pet while you are in heaven is of course an non-believers’ joke.
The psychologists I know think the most interesting thing about the whole phenomenon is the doublethink Rapture-believers exhibit. Part of them believes in the Rapture; but not enough to really sell their homes, quit their jobs, and find care for their pets. It would be interesting to hear them explain this inconsistency.
It takes real group pressure, think the Waco kind of crazy cult, to get people to abandon their secure lives.
There is no inconsistency if one holds the classic Rapturist belief that no one knows WHEN it will happen. If you don’t know when, then why would you sell your house or quit your job?
As far as finding care for your pet, well- Rapturist TV preacher couple Jack & Rexella Van Impe teach that they’ll be going with their Christian owners.
Cancelled sure to lack of clients.
Jack = “knave,” meaning “soldier or servant,” correct?
Rexella = “queen”
Van Impe = “of the (or offspring of the) lesser devils”
Have I got all that right?

Why yes, actually. The CBC show “WireTap” interviewed a guy once who owns a rapture pet care company not too long ago. The host asked the owner how he can ensure the staff of his company will be around to care for the pets, and his answer is he is an atheist, solely hires atheists, and makes all employees blaspheme in order to work there, which apparently bars entry into heaven.
Yeah I’ve always wondered how exactly one blasphemes the holy ghost, which is supposedly the only unforgivable sin, as I recall.
These days I think you can just wear a lapel badge declaring support for gay marriage. Does the trick.
They were charging $135/pet for a 10yr contract (non-refundable). After The Rapture Pet Care is $10/household no matter what small pets. They seem to still be up and running.
My question is, how do pet owners know that they won’t just turn around and use the pets as food? It isn’t like the FDA is going to keep inspecting meat packages after the rapture. Cat and dog could become the next ‘in thing’ to BBQ.
Yeah, that is the mainstream Christian view. But fringe groups have always set specific dates.The linked article lists about 50 announced Raptures. And the current jokes pet service refers, of course, to the 2012 rapture as announced by the Mayans and a Hollywood Blockbuster movie.
Really? I didn’t know Ratzinger had died and made that couple pope?
You think everyone at the FDA is going to heaven? :dubious:
Hehe. I read “Ratzinger” and thought you meant the dude who played the mailman on Cheers. Serious disconnect followed…
