Judgement Day: May 21, 2011

... on my way to dinner tonight, I was greeted with this billboard:


Came home to find this article:

KPCC's Patt Morrison spoke with Harold Camping from Family Radio, who explained that his group's research offered "proofs and signs from the Bible" that "judgment will be finalized" for the believers and non-believers in Jesus, and that process will take five months, culminating in the ultimate end of everything on October 21st. "We've come to the end of everything," says Camping.

For those who are hoping to put a time down with their save the date, Camping says it's going to happen at 6 p.m. However, when Morrison asked if he meant 6 p.m. Pacific, or Greenwich Mean Time, he instead explained that the events would take 24 hours and start in one place and move through other regions

Uh... is this new?  Or is this an older prediction?

What happens if nothing happens?

I'm supposed to be a bridesmaid in a wedding that is set exactly one week after the ultimate end of everything. I'm gonna be pissed if I buy that dress for nothing.

Anyone in DFW is welcome to join the DFWCoR for our picnic conveniently planned on Judgement Day  We figure if all the chrsitians are lifted up to heaven that there will be more room for us to enjoy the park.

So it's going to take 5 whole months for the rapture to take place?

So seriously underwhelming honestly, what happened to the power of the almightly that it would take 5 months?

 :idea: god works in mysterious ways?

I think the standard answer is that God is omnipresent in space-time, so 5 months is the same thing as 1 millisecond and all of eternity. It doesn't answer your question, but I suppose that's the point.

I would like to see these people going all out, putting their money where their mouths are.
Spend all their money, go on elaborate holidays, or give it to charity, I just don't care, just prove to us how confident you are of your prediction. Get rid of all your worldly possessions otherwise this is just a publicity stunt!

Thing is, I think there really are people getting ready for rapture.   Reading their bibles, selling their stuff to buy guns to fend off other people during the tribulation, praying, stocking their bunkers up, praying some more...

21st May, hmm, just after I've finished at college. Fucking typical. Finally get a degree and the bloody world ends, just my luck

What I think is really funny are the Christians who prepare for the end of the world with storm shelters and supplies and all of that.  If they are right with God, wouldn't they miss all the really bad stuff due to the rapture?  Why would they need all that stuff?

[Cecilie]

What will their explanation be when it doesn't happen?

[dgmort19]

Laugh. Out. Loud.

[Tank]

Laugh. Out. Loud.

That will be our reaction, what will their excuse be?  

[The Magic Pudding]

What will their explanation be when it doesn't happen?

God in his mercy has been moved to give the sinners another chance to repent.
Praise the lord and return that stuff you got on credit.
