Personally I find the idea of emails in a holding pattern pending the rapture to be a little odd. For reasons already mentioned. Honestly, are these things you'd like to say to people but you don't dare? Is a post-rapture conversion less good? I'd be believing only because in the event of the rapture, I'd have proof and that leaves no need for faith.

Oh, no, I've been witnessed to. By a lot of people.

I know they mean well but I find it insulting, insinuating that I am not a good person {they tell me that being a good person isn't enough, the things I do are not enough. I have to say what they want me to, they have to see me accept Christ.} I think, whatever beliefs I have, they are between me and my God. I don't need an audience and I don't hide either.

I'm with you on this. I can see that maybe people living in remote areas might not have heard of Christianity but the rest of us? Yeah, we've heard it. I think the worst part of the witnessing is the requirement that you say by rote the particular statements and that they have to *see* you accept Christ. That's not how I understood it to work. By that time people will say anything just to get them to go away.
