Where will the virgins be lined up? You know, the ones who do not want to leave this earthly existance without having experienced "the sins of the flesh."

Y2K around here was said to be quite an event. Leading up to it anyway, the actual Y2K thing was pretty much a non-event. But before that, "I've heard" the locals were buying up generators on credit cards with the intention of returning them afterwards if they didn't need them (the stores told them to screw off, I think), and running up credit card debt because, hey, come 1/1/2000 the machines wouldn't work anyway, right? I don't think that worked out for them too well either.

Do any of these people actually read the Book? I think it says something like there's gonna be another thousand years after the next big event. So, that gives us plenty of time to work on projects. In a thousand years, I could probably finish up half my existing projects. Man, that'd be great.

Apparently the Apocalypse starts at 6pm on the international date line and moves west. So... Australia get smoked, we know it's for real.

So we should stock up on beer and liquor in case they run out?

Start? I could be sitting at Challenge at that point. Parts should be cheap too, with all the abandoned cars around.

So if the world doesnt end on Saturday, will the people who believe in this nonsense take their own lives to prove to us nonbelievers how right they were/are?

Otherwise I'm pointing and laughing; laughing either way really.

Yes, but the only ones left are really unattractive.

Though I have also heard from this same outfit (www.familyradio.com) that The Rapture is what's happening this Saturday, but the actual End Of The World doesn't kick off until October of 2011.

Looks like I AM going to the Challenge this year. It may cause a global catastrophe but she can't be pissed at me if the world ends before I get back!

That CNN article mentions Ocala, Florida, so we know it's legit. It also mentions Ezekiel 33, which you can read yourself here: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ezekiel%2033&version=NIV

but I don't get how 5/21/2011 comes out of that. I don't hear these guys blowing any horns. Somehow I don't think a pamphlet is the same as a horn. There's one date mentioned in the Book, and that was several thousand years ago, not talking about the future. And that whole date-line thing is kinda phunny too. An arbitrary line picked because some guy in England developed a clock that actually worked. What does that have to do with TEOTWAWKI? I mean, if you're talking about a 3-5K year old book, wouldn't the time line be wherever the book was written, not some randomly chosen latitude developed thousands of years later when a better geographic understanding and charting skill came around? I think these people have misinterpreted things here.

Here's a better prediction: Dr.Hess says that the world will end at the 15th hour on the 7th day of the year 19786 of the New Calendar (New Calendar not yet invented). I'm going out on a limb here, but I say it's going to happen simultaneously all over the world, and not travel with the sun. There, when the world ends, I can point to it and say "I told you guys. You just have to back off 15 hours, 17 days and 19786 years and that was my start date."

Yes, so if you get in a fast enough plane at the right time, or if you are near the international date line or the north or south pole, you can pretty easily avoid the whole thing.

Who would have thought End of Days would have a loophole?!?

I got a card in the mail today letting me know that the end is this Saturday. I don't know who sent it, but I wish they would have sent it earlier.
