I'm more than ready to go home.
The other day, on the day of the beginning of the Annapolis Summit, my DSIL's departure date to going to Las Vegas, NV, to fly off to Washington, DC...for which I told her to not be too surprised if her fellow passengers onboard her plane begin disappearing right before her very eyes, upon her return home flights. I told her that I too, may be gone as well, by the time she returns home.
My SIL, you see--is a firm Budist believer, who thinks Jesus won't mind if she is. At the time she told me, my mind went blank, but then later on...Jesus told me what to say to her about this, by quoting his words from the NT in the Bible. Now I'll have to look up His words, and show them to her IF I'm still around that is.

Wow! Jesus actually SPOKE to you!? Ummm... maybe he could have told you something like this, "Sister, it's Buddhist."
BTW, you planning on goin' somewhere? I'm really concerned because this sounds like a suicide note. I mean, not returning home! Ohhhh, wait a minute! It's Rapture Ready! Don't worry kids! Mommy isn't going anywhere! Silly Mommy forgot to take her reality pills today.
Kinda reminds me of the time this girl asked me to explain to her what Buddhism is and why I'm a Buddhist, which I did for 5 minutes. After that, she just hands me a pamphlet full of bible quotes and explicitly states how accepting Jesus is the only way to salvation (you know the drill).
Pamphlet, meet trash can. Which is more likely than not what your SIL is going to do with any passages you give her.
Do you frequently have these black outs? Do you often have conversations with imaginary people or people who have been dead for a long time? I think you may need to see a doctor.
Your SIL is fine. You, on the other hand, need help.
Aaaaand yet, you're still here. That's 0 for 72,459, eh, Sister?
You already are home. Tough to deal with, is it?
(Incidentally, if Jesus told you what to say, how come you have to look it up? Couldn't be that you've never actually read the book, could it?)
why don't these RRs take the short cut: pills, car exhausts, razors and hot baths? All painless, and since they're all in god's good book and they just want to "go home" I can't see him blaming them
Maybe it isn't that she thinks "Jesus doesn't mind" her being a Buddhist. Maybe it's just that she practices another religion, one that doesn't take Jesus or your endtimes fantasies into account. Maybe your sister-in-law is, in fact, NOT A CHRISTIAN. Why is that so hard for you pig-headed ignorami to understand?
I mean, we are talking about a deity so lame he needs the likes of you to defend him, which you can't do because he and you both suffer 20/20 hindsight.
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matthew 24:35-36
STOP GUESSING THINGS
I told her that I too, may be gone as well, by the time she returns home.
And I bet SIL desperately wishes that would come true...

It's hard to have a religion if all of your followers have killed themselves so someone with foresight and a little brains decided to prohibit such things on penalty of Hellfire, of course. I'm pretty sure that's why suicide is a "sin".
Another option is that it's hard to collect tithes on a weekly (or more often) basis if your flock is dead. Can't have the church going broke now, can we?
I find it amusing how they tell you how great it is to be dead but then prevent you from actually being that way for as long as possible.
Hopefully the Pilot isn't saved or SIL will be meeting God too.
It must be so sad for people wanting and wanting for the rapture, how about getting away from the Internet and feed the homeless, or shopping for an elderly neighbour, instead of wasting time.
What, exactly, do you hope to gain by showing your SIL a bible passage? She's going to be too busy thinking, "Oh, shit, you're still here," to bother reading it.
You're NOT going to be Raptured. Jesus said He'd be coming back in His generation. He did, you're just left behind. Get used to it, He's NEVER coming back for you.
Or are you saying He lied? In which case you're never going to be Raptured.
Now start living your life in the knowledge He's not coming back.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
