News World Ending October 21st?

[Scruce]

Just when you thought it was all over... :shifty:

Doomsday preacher Harold Camping was left a laughing stock when his prediction that the world would end on May 21 failed to materialise.

But the 90-year-old Californian may well have the last laugh after revealing that May 21 was in fact Judgment Day - a spiritual moment when the righteous would be chosen - and simply a warm-up for the Rapture which happens exactly five months later.

This means that Friday, October 21, will mark the start of the Apocalypse - when believers will be whisked away into heaven and hell will be unleashed on earth.

And cynics should be warned, as the Rapture Index - a monitor of current affairs for the frequency and intensity of end-time signs mentioned in the Bible - is at an almost all-time high.

Bed-ridden Camping, who suffered a stroke soon after 'Judgment Day', said: 'We can be sure that the whole world [will be annihilated] on 21 October 2011.'

And since he said that the day of judgment had already passed, there was nothing the non-righteous could do to save their souls.

Typical....... Thats my pay day.

:lol:

I don't believe that the second coming can really be calculated,

The Rapture Index is a 'Doomsday Dow Jones' that predicts, when it has a high score, the end of the world. Apparently, August 8th 2011 was the high point of this scale.

The Rapture Index:

Well, only have one thing to say: And I'm the Easter Bunny. I'm gonna love waking up on the 22nd...

Luckily the world ends before ROSAT crashes.

Cool, that means less people on my train. I might even get a seat because right now my commute feels like hell.

If he really is that faithful, perhaps he should be taking that stroke after the last prediction as a sign from God to stop crying "rapture".

I dont want to bring religion back into this, even though it started it to begin with, but in the bible, it says "No man shall know the day or hour of my coming" Matthew 24:36. So if this guy is a "pastor" he should know this. So by all means, he is a nutjob.

I agree.

It's the fearmongering that pisses me off. If I'm going to be suddenly poofed out of existence and judged,

#1: I want to be judged for who I am, not for some insane amount of groveling and scraping I've done just before the end,

and #2: I'd rather not know about the end before it happens. Kinda takes the flavour out of the remainder of our time here, doesn't it?

 

[RS-232]

We are all dead already ....our residual memories are just part of the matrix :thumbup:

 

[Scav]

How can you tell if you're alive and dreaming, or dead and remembering?

How can you tell what's real or not, when you can't even tell when you're awake and when you're asleep?

Hmm. Better have my prescription adjusted.
