Judgment Day: Five Businesses Hoping to Reap the Rewards of the Rapture
By SUSANNA KIM and BEN FORER
May 20, 2011
"Judgment Day" is just 24 hours away and many are turning to the almighty dollar for salvation. While some evangelical Christians are preparing to be taken away to heavenly realms, the less devout have been trying to profit off the prophecy. Family Radio, a non-profit, listener-supported religious organization based in Oakland, Calif., has declared that May 21 will mark the end of the world, when Jesus Christ arrives for his second coming and the "rapture" of his believers. Gunther von Harringa, spokesman for Family Radio and president of Bible Ministries International, said it is "ludicrous" to think that businesses will be able to function after Judgment Day. However, that's not stopping people from trying to make money for a tomorrow some think will never come. Five Businesses Hoping to Reap the Rewards of the Rapture:
1. External Earthbound Pets Eternal Earthbound Pets offers a service to rescue and take care of pets once their owners are no longer earthbound. Bart Centre of New Hampshire, co-owner of the pet business, launched it in June 2009. He has zero belief in Judgment Day, but began to see an increase in sales inquiries in December, which, he believes, is related to Family Radio's heavy marketing campaign around the May 21 date.

Watch Video A 'View' of May 21st Doomsday Watch Video Sales increased during the first quarter of this year by 27 percent compared with the first quarter of last year, which Centre attributes to the May 21 campaign. Centre increased his rates in January. It now costs $135 to rescue one pet and $20 for an additional pet at the same address, which he collects up front. That's up from $110 for the first pet and $10 for an additional pet.
2. Post-Rapture Post Post-Rapture Post is a message delivery service to those left behind after the apocalypse. Joshua Witter started the website in 2004 after a casual conversation with his friends about what believers might want after they leave their non-believing loved ones behind. Witter, an atheist, charges $4.99 to $799.99 to deliver a pre-written letter to those loved ones. Ritter said he suspects the postal service and email services will not be available. Witter, the postmaster general of the Post-Rapture Post, said he has only sold his simplest letter product at $1.99, although he does offer more elaborate options. For $800, a calligrapher (a friend of his) will handwrite your letter on "medieval parchment style paper." Witter, who has another day job, said there has not been renewed interest as a result of the May 21 campaign.
3. Northwest Shelter Systems Kevin Thompson, co-owner of Northwest Shelter Systems, based in Idaho, said concerns about a nuclear disaster -- not Judgment Day -- have driven recent sales of his hidden rooms and bomb shelters. "We're not a doom-and-gloom company by any means," he said. "People are still purchasing shelters from us for a number of other reasons." Sales have increased 60 to 70 percent since the start of this year, he said. He attributes the growth mostly to the tsunami and earthquake in Japan in March, and especially the resulting concerns about radiation emitting from the Fukushima plant, north of Tokyo.
4. End of the World Parties Bars and clubs across the country are hosting parties to commemorate the occasion. Fittingly, the Tavern at the End of the World, in Boston, is hosting an End of the World Party tomorrow evening. Manager Raymond O'Neill says he has been fielding lots of calls for the event and expects it will be good for business.

Portia Lenne
Hello my name is Portia ...Portia Lenee...lol. Forest Gump (although fictional) should inspire us all. Overcoming adversity is the human condition....especially these days.You ever have a dream and know that your almost there.....That's my situation....I"m "Three feet from Gold"! Have you ever heard that story before? Well if not it goes something like this....There was a young man who sold all his belongings to move to California during the Gold Rush.The young man purchased a a house , tools and brought his desire to become rich....settled in and began his quest.
Each day he packed up and went to the nearby mine (located on his property) and mined. Each day he returned home unsuccessful. After several weeks of this type of defeat as his supplies and funds dwindled, so did his determination.Several months dragged on (in his heart) and he decided to sell the property, cut his loses and move back home. So he did, he unloaded the disaster zone on an unsuspecting younger man and moved back home. This new homeowner in all his excitement, immediately began mining...several days, possibly weeks passed yet he continued to dig. Finally, he struck Gold....three feet from where the previous owner left off.
Wow can you imagine how the previous owner would have felt if he knew how close he was to striking gold? So as I embark onto this modeling and acting career, promoters, agents, producers, directors; please check out this site and help me move my dream to reality.
Never lose sight of why you began a project...never give up because you may be " THREE FEET FROM GOLD" .
