[What else needs to happen before the Rapture?]
Betty:
Our Pastor comforted us last night by telling us the only thing that has to happen before the rapture is the blowing the trumpet. I pray it is soon.
caligal:
I agree. I stop at least several times a day and listen for the trumpet.

You really have nothing better to do with your time? >_>
Oh, wait, it's because you believe that this life is meaningless compared to heaven. But wait, why then are we living in this life, then? Just seems like God's a teasing prick, is all.
Betty: Today I was fired for singing praise during a boardroom meeting. They want me to start taking my medication again, but I know better! If I stop taking it, the voices will be silent.
Caligal: Voices are good. Voices are special for you.
Betty: I am still waiting for the trumpet. I feel so sad. I once laughed at life, now I laugh at the toilet.
Caligal: I cannot laugh. The trolls make me feel too old.
Betty: I once oogly oogly oo!
Galigal: Well, well.

I think the metaphor of blowing a trumpet is meant to imply that it'll be LOUD.

I've told you folks you're the victims of a poor translation. The musical accompaniment to the rapture will be provided by an accordion. You should listen for an accordion.
St Peter says 'Welcome to Heaven, here's your harp'.
Satan says 'Welcome to Hell, here's your accordion'.
Please everyone, listen to Headache's recording of the shofar.
It seems the Rapture will sound like a wasp trapped in a jam-jar.
It is the Jewish Shofar and not as modern trumpet they are expecting ,I think ,but it should be easy enough to make a recording of one and drive around their neighbourhoods playing it loudly through a car stereo.
You could I suppose even use it instead of the horn on your car.
@ Headache: I turned it all the way up and clicked the link and still jumped at the first toot.
Don't forget to throw clothes around if you go around towns and play a shofar recording. Oh! The gnashing of teeth and wailing and flailing will follow.
"Blowing the trumpet"
So that's what the pastors are calling it these days. If you do it right you get a second coming.
I stop at least several times a day and listen for a strumpet, myself. Sometimes I get lucky.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
