Could this be how the world ends in 2012?

Maybe he will be like stewie from family guy, but with a better shaped head.

:laugh:

A few more million dollars in the waiting months and then if I were him I would fake my own death.

Come on! This guy has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel! He's in no position to fake his death!

Perhaps he fancies himself going down in the history books? But what history books would those be? And who is going to be left to read them, let alone WRITE them???

IMO, he's nothing but a con man. Hope this was a wake-up call to his followers. Though, I doubt it. They will spin it to fit their agenda, I'm sure.

This pretty much says it all IMO:

But he also said that he wouldn't give away all his possessions ahead of Oct 21.

"I still have to live in a house, I still have to drive a car," he said. "What would be the value of that? If it is Judgment Day why would I give it away?"

IIRC the Bible says that the people who are willing to give their fortune away to help others are more likely to do well on Judgment day but of course there is no point if it's just a scam and he expects to need his car and his house even after the globe is completely destroyed in October.

Fine, I can understand that. He does need a house and a car in the interim but he should sign a contract with someone that they will get his house and car on November 1st.

Today's paper reported that Harold Camping had a stroke a couple of days ago... guess God didn't take too kindly to him misreporting the end of the world without consulting him!

Love to hear from all the true believers when the date comes and gos. Amazingly, they never seem to have much to say after it doesn't happen.

I'm a professional historian, a medievalist, specifically. I can give you examples going all the way back to the ancient world regarding "end of the world" worries. I'll believe it when I see it.

Well, now that end of the world really happened. :floorlaugh:

The thing about this end of the world thing is that the Mayans never once said the world was going to end. Not that I would believe it if they did state it, but they didn't. It was just when their calendar stopped.

Dear rapture,

After reveiwing your sample earthquake sent ground express on aug 23 th 2011 I have decided to decline anymore incoming events of a maginitude higher then a 3.4. If you cannot remove my name off your mailing list please only send hurricanes and minor flooding.

TIA!

Sun Unleashes Two Massive X-Class Solar Flares

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/07/sun-unleashes-two-massive-x-class-solar-flares/

Just as many Americans got back to work after the long Labor Day weekend, the sun jolted to life as well, unleashing a massive solar flare just one day after another sun storm sent a stream of particles racing toward Earth.

The X-class solar flare — the most powerful type of sun storm— erupted at 6:12 p.m. EDT (2212 GMT) on Tuesday (Sept. 6) and hit its peak strength eight minutes later, according to a space weather update by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The flare occurred less than 24 hours after another less intense but still dramatic solar storm.

Several different satellites watched the action unfold, including NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which constantly records high-definition videos of the sun in several different wavelengths.

I think Canadians are exempt from this solar storm. The sun hasn't jolted in this part of the world since last Saturday and it's getting chilly. :snowman:

Just sayin.......

 

[Soulmagent]

Yup! I listened to him live. Well, technically, he earlier predicted that on May 21, 2011, Jesus would return, the rapture and the great earthquake would occur and then five months later on October 21, 2011, the universe would end. Now he is saying that Jesus did return but that it was a spiritual return and that because God is so merciful, he is allowing us to avoid five months of hell until the very end. So he's not really giving us a new date, he's modifying it a bit. He now says that the rapture, judgment and end of the world will occur on the same date, without a tribulation period, which frankly, is more in keeping with his doctrine.

I'll tell ya', I had hopes that he would stop the nonsense when he began to state that the return of Christ and judgment day was mystical, rather than physical but when he started again with the October 21st stuff, I thought: "This is so wrong!"

Hopefully, however, his failed predictions will cause Family Radio to lose listeners and donations and the whole thing will dry up.

So, how is everyone planning to spend the last day before the end of the universe?

I was gonna do some cleaning, but what's the point?

 

[Elphaba]

I'm gonna stare into the sun...



...with my hydrogen-alpha telescope. I was super-patient through solar minimum... now Sol is back into an active swing with its cycle and today there are 7 sunspot regions to peer at. If I have to see the world end, at least I'll die knowing that that telescope wasn't a big waste, after all.

But I will be sad that I won't get any good usage out of my new pairs of fall/winter shoes/boots. I ponder if DSW will honor a rapture policy return on their shoes. Wait... scratch that... I'm pretty sure I'll be one of those left behind.

 

[LinasK]

Harold Camping, the guy who had a stroke, is predicting tomorrow again, but he's not taking out billboards this time...

What time is the rapture supposed to happen today?
I am in the mood for it :sigh:

I don't know but I don't think very many will make it.
