The one for five dollars I found was this one:
http://www.religioustolerance.org/rapt_hlp.htm
“We are a group of 5 adults (one Christian; four non-Christians). Four of us fully expect to remain behind if and when the Rapture ocurrs. We personally commit to work up to a maximum of 6 days a week, 10 hours a day giving highest priority to answering Email questions from those left behind who are registered with us. We will supply them answers to their personal questions. We will send them Biblically based essays explaining:
how to be saved,
the nature of the Rapture,
the nature of the Tribulation,
the Antichrist and his expected activities
so that they can make sense out of the unfolding events”
I think you need folks who aren’t Christians, or at least must not be saved, given the premise of the Rapture.

You are referring in your post to '7' trumpets, as revealed in Revelations. Are you aware that when Paul wrote tot he Thessalonians John's Revelation had not been given yet? Paul would not have been referring to trumpets not yet disclosed.
Perhaps you are confusing the wrath of satan because he sees his time is now very short, with the wrath of GOD sent upon the Earth during the tribulation/Great Tribulation?
Setting up such a ‘trust fund’ is useless since the world’s economy will be collapsed and the stored funds will have disappeared. The anti-Christ uses a very different approach to buying and selling when he takes world-wide control of the chaos following The Rapture of The CHURCH. Use the money now to help someone in need. That money will not survive the world-wide economic collapse for later use. Use it now to help someone in need that GOD puts in your path.
Christ Himself elaborated on the trumps, seals, vials, of Revelation in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. No where does Christ instruct anybody to have their bags packed for a fly away... Rapture doctrine is a false security blanket. Do you know who the literal ‘anti-Christ’ is? Christ foretold who it is.
What about gold reserves, or just bunkers of food and medicine?

I see this, which is directed to no one individually, but rather a collective reminder to all of us to examine ourselves for we will all pass before the Judgement Seat. Love covers a multitude of sins and we all need mercy. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew, Catholic chapter seven, Protestant verses three to five,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James
There is coming such an horrendous chaos for a period that people will not believe how bad it is going to be after JESUS snatches away the innocent, the CHURCH, and the dead in Christ (the innocent are in Christ because there is no law standing between them and the Grace of God).
I consider myself a prepper, not for after the Rapture but incase of natural disasters. When I'm gone those preparations will be around and marauding hungry people will no doubt find them. Prepping is common sense in action. It need not be attached to the expectation of being Rapture thus leaving behind provisions for those not snatched away.
I do have a good Bible in the prep storage, so those left behind will have 'something to read' ... I expect there will be a lot of 'new Bereans' ...
There are many clues to the Physics of the Rapture, not the least of which is Daniel Chapter five (a different where/when is all around us, we just are not yet fashioned such that we can sense it) and the Resurrection of Jesus, when He left the tomb without rolling away the stone, entered a locked and shuttered room, and disappeared from the table where the disciples from on the Road suddenly realized Who had given thanks and broken the bread for their meal. There are many scenes from The Old Testament that give clues to the true nature of our Universe and 'other' spacetime coordinate systems which we are not now equipped to sense.
It sounds like what is needed is way for the ones that have prepared like you to disseminate the info to the right folks, but somehow only after the Rapture so your name and prep work isn’t on some list if it just gets really bad before the Rapture.

No, he didn’t say we can’t.
Where you try to say he said we can’t, he told us the exact appointed time: The Day of Trumpets, a date found only in the Biblical calendar.
The Biblical calendar is lunar in nature, and agricultural in specific timing.
The barley growing in the Kidron must be sufficiently developed to be made into flour 14 days later for the year to begin.
For this reason, dates cannot be projected years in advance. Human inspection of a real crop is the only way to know.
No, He did not.
I never said that....things might be pretty rough going for Christians before the rapture hits. Revelation suggests such a case! I am merely looking at the raw black and white wording of such passages such as “we shall all be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye”...or “the dead in Christ shall rise first then those of us who are alive and remain shall likewise rise and meet Him in the middle of the air”...you know passages like that. You know..being caught up, being changed. It’s all in basic black and white...the same as Christ’s 1000 year reign out of the new Jerusalem which comes out of heaven. I only say the argument is simply over the placement or timing of the rapture event...its certainty is never in doubt!
He’s a dang wingnut ain’t he?
I’ve seen him go lib on homosexuals and he loves Sikhs and hates Indians
But it’s the first I’ve seen him wax about Christianity
Which if you waste the time to see his posting history on the subject as I just did its a plethora of dodge and be nice platitude
He’s a dilletante on the forum to keep entertained
The phrase “sword of the Lord” occurs only in the Old Testament. It is not found in the Greek Writings. That it “cuts from left to right” is amusing, but not revealed by God anywhere in His Word. Paul knew? Where is that recorded? It is not likely that truth will be forthcoming from a source that bases its opinions upon conjecture, and not what God has revealed in His Holy Word. I suspect that truth is not what you are interested in, merely asserting yourself to appease a conflict within.
Largely but not completely...There are historical records of people seeing the Rapture in scripture eons ago...Not many records...But all that shows is that the records likely have been destroyed...
The fact that millions upon millions of Christians see the Rapture in the scriptures ought to cause you to pause and wonder why...
The reality is that you guys ignore the scriptures that are there that separate the Rapture from the 2nd Coming of Jesus...And when one considers ALL the scriptures and believes them, the Rapture is obvious...

Where you try to say he said we cant, he told us the exact appointed time: The Day of Trumpets, a date found only in the Biblical calendar.
Funny thing about that..
Day of Trumpets 2014, according to Judaism was September 24 2014.
According to the woman, clothed the sun and the moon under her feet (Scripture),
it was September 26 2014.
Judiasm and those who follow it missed it by at least a day.
and then missed Yom Kippur by a day.
and missed the start of Tabernacles..
Amazing how He gave us the sun, moon and stars for signs and moeds and days and years-
and the religious tend to ignore them for traditions of men, or worse, Rome’s.
I don’t recall the 2015 dates but I suspect they did the same thing then too.
Just looked- they did miss it again.
Thanks to the book of Revelation and the Revealing of Jesus’ birth and every major event He had after that, His people can know how far off the rest of the world is.
Sometimes, it’s just a day or two. Sometimes a month- Like the old Get Smart line- Missed it by this much!
The poster, being a catholic, is still ‘striving to obtain’ that which GOD gives immediately by HIS Grace. So the idea of an immediate snatching away is something such lost folks in owrks based religions (like catholiciism) cannot allow themselves to believe because it instantly refutes their ‘working to obtain’. Don’t expect to open the mind of one so sold out to works for salvation; their egos can’t afford to be wrong even on things that are not essential for salvation, if such endanger their works base.
Poor Elsie, so full of hatred and vigor. And against what? My recitation of Jesus's commandment? What kind of person is put into a rage over Christ's command to love?
Then you claim certain commands are only for disciples, while slinging other Bible quotes like the weapons you obviously hope for them to be - but are they only for disciples, too? Do you have a database of which quotes apply to disciples, and which to the rest of us? And by disciple, do you mean only the original twelve? Really? Are you a disciple? Am I? Is anyone? How do you know - and why should anyone agree with you? What are your personal criteria?
And where is your testimony of faith, and why should anyone believe it? Why am I required to lay my faith out for your judgement - because I merely quote Jesus's greatest commandment? What do i have to do with Jesus's legitimacy? If you find fault in me, dies that mean Jesus was wrong? Then why do I matter? Or is it rather just to avoid dealing with the issue on its merits? It seems so, for you and others here. Facing Jesus's command to love has apparently put a lot of Christians in a rage. How dare I remind anyone of that! LOL!
And what is inadequate about my personal testimony of #235? How does it fail your personal judgement of my soul? After all, it's far more than anyone else wrote out on this board - including you. Who are you to judge it? And how does my admiration of certain Chinese philosophy negate my love of Christ? You can't even see its Christian allegory, yet you post it as a condemnation of me? You don't even know what you're looking at - and you think others are just as ignorant as you are. Newsflash: they're not.
You are a child, Elsie. A very, very angry child, and you don't know what you want, and you don't know what you're looking for. And as long as you run around trying to hurt people and wreck things, you're never going to get any answers that will heal your angry heart. So give it up. Just give it up. Stop trying to hurt people - it will never make you happy. You're drinking salt water and screaming with the agony of thirst. Just stop.
Judaism rejects the word of Yehova in favor of the words of men, just as the rest of the false religions do (including all of ‘corporate’ christianity)
Judaism used a babylonian projection in place of Yehova’s calendar until about a year ago. They now are using Nehemia Gordon’s Biblical determination of the Aviv each year.
