Mike Pence and the Coming Rapture

[MineralMan]

I've read that VP Pence is a believer in the End Times and the Rapture. Well, here's a Rapture scene from the opening sequence of an episode of "Six Feet Under." Maybe Pence would enjoy watching it, you know, although Mother might forbid it:

1. Uh huh

[HAB911]

2. can't believe I've never seen that before, THANKS!

[MineralMan]

3. My pleasure. Loved that show!

[HAB911]

4. so, it's worth streaming then?

[MineralMan]

6. I don't know. It's an acquired taste, I think.

It's an odd show, but if you like odd stuff, you might enjoy it. My wife teased me about my mild pervy crush on the Lauren Ambrose character.

[CanonRay]

22. My wife and I both loved it.

[phandancer917]

27. VERY MUCH SO

The Series Finale is the GREATEST ending of ANY SHOW, EVER. The ending will leave you a crying, emotional wreck. But, you will watch it again.

And I echo Mineral Man appreciation of Lauren Ambrose....

[Pachamama]

5. Greatest scene ever showing what the fundie rapture freaks really believe

[MineralMan]

7. That's what I thought, too.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Pentecosts believe they will sit by the right side of Jesus in the afterlife if speaking in tongues.

.

Not sure why there is a rush to have a second coming, when they'll meet Jesus anyway.

During the rapture, only a handful of people will be taken to heaven, and Pence wouldn't make the cut.

.

[MineralMan]

9. But, see, all of those Rapture believers think they are part of that group.

Since it's just a fantasy, what does it matter, really? Frankly, I'd be perfectly happy if all of those who believe in that nonsense got taken up any time now. The world would be a better place.

10. Ha ha heh...thanks for the laugh. Six Feet Under is a classic, and also I wouldn't be surprised...

if this actually did happen in real life.

[MineralMan]

11. I just noticed that those guys are driving a Ford Ranger

about the same year as the one I own. That gives me a wonderful idea for my Spring prank project. I'm going to be painting my truck with a Piet Mondrian design. I've always wanted an art car. They have a parade here every summer. Maybe I can find a cheap source of plastic sex dolls to inflate with helium for the parade. What an idea. It makes me think...yes, it does...

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Or, use lots of barbie dolls? You'll be the hit of the parade! Ha hah he...nt

[MineralMan]

15. I just found some 24"-long inflatable sharks. In red, blue, and white.

24 for about $30. I think they'd float in the air if I filled them with helium. The idea would be to fill the bed of the truck with them, and have a net or light cover covering the bed. Then, during the parade, I'd pull a rope from inside the truck to remove the net and release them when there were lots of people around. Toys for the audience. I think I could put about 48 of them inside the bed.

Bonus is that they match the colors of the Mondrian pattern on the truck. A guaranteed hit with the crowd, no doubt, and at a price I could afford, too. I don't know how much the helium would cost me, though. If it's too high, I can probably figure out a way to get them to fly out of the truck anyhow, filled with air. A cordless leaf blower in the bed would work, and I have one of those. Pull off the netting, hit the leaf blower switch and there they'd go.

Oh, this will be wonderful! I haven't done an elaborate prank for a long time. It's time to return to my roots. Now I'm excited!

26. This thread is full of fun and laughs, thanks.

[SWBTATTReg]

32. Ha he...nothing like a good prank to get the juices flowing...ahhhh, I remember the days when I ...

pulled pranks (good natured ones of course) on my friends. Have fun, my friend, have fun!!

[icymist]

12. I love that scene!

[Heartstrings]

13. One of my favorite series, in fact we just started watching it again on Amazon....

Love, love that show! I agree, it’s not for everyone but....I also agree Lauren Ambrose is phenomenal and the series finale was the best ever in my opinion.

[MineralMan]

16. Yes, the series finale was perfect.

[CaptYossarian]

17. I still remember the one where the aging porn star's breasts were propped up with cans of tuna.

Maybe they can strap Pence in to watch this clip--just like Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange.

Trump can watch In God We Trust, where they cast Richard Pryor as God.

[Heartstrings]

24. Oh!

Just saw that episode! It’s in Season 1....

[CaptYossarian]

25. I couldn't believe a show about a funeral home could provide so many laughs--

but then came The Big C (about a woman with Stage IV cancer) and Getting On (about hospice care). All of them were much funnier than what the stale networks were inflicting on us.

[leftieNanner]

18. OH MY GOOOODNESS!!!

That is spectacular! I have to show it to my husband later - he was raised in a fundie church (Pentecostal) and would get a big kick out of this clip.

Thanks MM for the laugh.

[MineralMan]

19. I saw that opening years ago, and never forgot it.

YouTube has everything! You're welcome and I hope your husband enjoys it, too.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Thing of it is

"The Rapture" was never part of Christian theology till John Nelson Darby and others invented it in the 19th century.

[MineralMan]

23. Very True.

[kimbutgar]

21. Every time I hear some talk about the rapture I think of this scene

This is just a foolish lie to take advantage of gullible people.

[Chasdev]

28. Here's a true story about a rapture beliver

This was on the news around a decade ago.
A person dressed up a sex doll like jesus and tied the doll into the bed of his pickup truck.
Took a drive on the expressway and while driving the ropes broke and the jesus sex doll flew out of the bed of his truck.
An endtimer lady was behind him in her car driving along at highway speeds and when she saw jesus fly up out of the bed of the truck she opened her car door and dove out onto the highway to try to shoot up to heaven along with jesus.
She was hit and killed by a following car.

[DBoon]

29. my theory is the rapture has already happened

Those who are most holy and without sin have already ascended to heaven

All five of them

[sandensea]

30. I bet he and mother have stocked up on these:

[sinkingfeeling]

31. Now that's funny!

[11 Bravo]

33. That was a great show!

The idiot bachelorette standing up through the moon roof as her limo came to a low underpass is another fave.
