The actual rapture is going to be so great. The true believers will all be taken away and we get 1000 years without their company. Win-win.

Maybe if we start a rumor that the Rapture will being somewhere like Costa Rica we get rid of them even sooner...
 
The world can't end Saturday - I've got a birthday party to attend and then Hockey on Sunday... 🙂
 
Maybe the rapture will come saturday?
Or maybe the world will go on and on, then in 15-20 years degrade into something similar to society depicted in the movie BACK TO THE FUTURE II.
I know where my bet will be.
2030... no jobs, no SS, no healthcare, no money, no ownership, no customers, no sales, no schools, but plenty of guns, bullets, drugs and gangs.
Just think of it as the Mexico drug gangs on steroids. And in your neighborhood.

Can anyone explain to me how "Family Radio" came up with this date specifically, and how they know exactly the world will end (earthquakes, etc)? None of these specifics are mentioned in the bible.

Numerology or as others would call it, wild ass guess?

I listen to their radio show because it's such a train wreck. The other night he was trying to explain this. Somewhere in the bible is a quote to the effect that a day equals a thousand years to god. Then he finds where god tells noah that he has 7 days before the flood when he and his family are rescued. That was a metaphor for now when jesus comes back and saves "the true believers". Somehow he calculated the day of the flood and added 7K years (the day is a thousand year thing.)

According to his calculations that means jesus comes back for "the true believers" on saturday. Since the Hebrew day starts at sun up he thinks the process will start at sunrise in jerusalem.


True Believers aren't just christians, but those who left the churches and believe in May 21.

This is gonna cause him a lot of shit.

Got a lot in common with Ted the Unabomber do they? Delusional and can convince others.

So you're figuring Obama is a shoe-in for a second term? A second term will complete the fundamental transformation he promised us?
 
He's a nut: Supports the teaching of the creation myth and the great flood as science...looks for allegory in mundane passages, has gone on the record 7 or so times predicting the end of the world.


There's a nice compilation of prior predictions posted here: http://www.cosmicsnark.com/2011/04/attack-of-camping-clones.html


....When that time period came and went with no Rapture, Camping said that he had not understood the "message from God", but predicted a new date which was good. Then he predicted another. Then another. Then another. Here's the complete list:

1. September 6, 1994 (extended a few days for "ancient calendar system adjustments")
2. September 15, 1994 (the Jewish Day of Atonement)
3. September 25, 1994 (the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles)
4. October 4, 1994 (Jesus's actual birthday of Jesus, according to Camping)
5. December 25, 1994, (Christmas, of course. He based this one on Revelation 11:10, which states And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
6. February 25, 1995, (the Jewish feast of Purim)
7. May 3, 1996

Well if they don't, no one will notice the second coming. Hell no one will notice it anyway since it's all based on the greatest con ever pulled on the 80-90% stupid enough to believe any in fairy tales.
 
you know, the best business models are the ones targeted at taking money from idiots... why didnt i think of milking this religious crap earlier? that pet-doption guy had a brilliant idea, and now his house is probably half paid off.

all i gotta do is write a childrens book about animals that talk and theyre all religious and shit. it would sell millions and i would buy a house and install self-sustaining power generation, that way i wouldnt need money or ever have to talk to people again.

Half the ships listed as sinking in the Bermuda Triangle in the first best selling book actually sank in the pacific. Since then the same group has published at least nine different books on the subject. And, the best selling Christian children's cartoon series today stars talking vegetables. The lead character is a carrot who doesn't even have arms and legs. In other words, you don't even need to be able to write or draw.

What do you think people like Pat Robertson and Clefro Dollar do? They figured it out a long time ago. They'd have every blue haired old lady eating cat food before they give up their 747s.

Watching dogs is okay however, If you have a natural predisposition for gab/art of BS I suggest become an evangelist, that's where real money is at. Old captive audience with guaranteed SS income! Plus they have VERY favorable tax rules.

This is a pretty good endictment of how pathetic our media is. This guy gets ignored in the mid 90's and now in 2011 with our gossip-driven news cycle he gets broadcasted to hundreds of millions of people. Every news program carries the exact same stories, it gets so old.
 
Have there been any reported stories of true believers who quit their jobs, sold their houses, and gave away all their wealth and worldly possessions in anticipation of the Rapture?

Well I think you hit the nail at least . Why did the media cover this? There is much better and greater need for real news thats going on in the world. People of this Time thinking they will be raputured without going threw Tribulations are dilusional and they can't read.

The news did a good smear campaign on religion here which is fine by me as religion is a ticket to hell.

Dammit why you gotta be "that" guy? Now I have to go home and watch the damn movie!

And it looks like we will be lucky enough to get 5 more months of this bullshit from the idiocy-loving media.

You’ve been warned.
Radio evangelist Harold Camping said in a special broadcast Monday night on his radio program Open Forum that his predicted May 21, 2011 Rapture was “an invisible judgment day“ that he has come to understand as a spiritual, rather than physical event.

“We had all of our dates correct,” Camping insisted, clarifying that he now understands that Christ’s May 21 arrival was “a spiritual coming” ushering in the last five months before the final judgment and destruction.

Can't wait for invisible Armageddon.
