This is a real TV ad for pre-rapture sale at a jewelry store in WI. The guy is a looney shyster for many obvious reasons.
In no particular order (cause since I found this I can't think my way through it in a rational manner):
You are leaving to be with Jesus. Right?
Worldly possessions are useless and needless.
Jesus was not a fan of any show of wealth.
Why not give your wealth to the poor who are being left behind?
Remember the eye of the needle and camel? Guess not.
If you are really giving in to the gold temptation and pay by check and then close the account prior to the rapture, you may not be in good standing with your savior...just sayin'. Use a credit card instead. He may not be able to trace the transaction for a few days.
Having worked in fine jewelry sales for the past 14 years, I can also testify that his guy is a shyster of the slimiest order, because fine jewelry is ALWAYS 50% off. Except in his own private state - of mind.
Anyone read the gospels? Because when Jesus returns on the 21st., this guy may just see his jewelry cases overturned in protest. Hey, it's a possibility. Jesus can get pretty pissy at times. You should really read those gospels.
I'm buying popcorn and can't wait to wave good-bye.
Note: As I typed the last 3 sentences above there came a crash from the kitchen. The clock affixed to the wall with one of those adhesive hooks fell to the floor and shattered in many pieces. I wonder if Jesus (or the 3M Company) is angry with me...or is it truly the 'end times'?
And so it goes.

End of the World 50% off sales is both cynical and ironical.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was just 'end times' for the fastener and the clock.
