[Danza]

I can't believe I missed it intitially, however..

"Bob" has seen my green, has he seen yours?

[burgerkingdiamond]

those fucking assholes running around saying that world was gonna end. The thing is that they didn't even believe, so i don't know what the point was. I read about someone agreeing to donate money to their organization if they agreed to give it back or donate it to charity or something if it never happened. Of course they refused.

Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.

Nice reading skills there, guys!

I was too lazy to look up this scripture, but this is the one that always comes to mind! Anybody who claims to know something that Christ didn't even know is looking to start a cult or something. This is what happened with the 7th Day Adventists long ago. Some guy claimed to know the time or day, and it just spiraled down the drain until they got to David Koresh in Waco, Texas in the early '90s.

Funny thing is, I'm a Christian, and it seems that everyone else knew about this "rapture" bullcrap long before I did. I just found out yesterday or so. I think I saw a billboard downtown somewhere, but I just figured it was some publicity stunt. I guess it was some clown from Family Life Radio who thought this all up. I wonder what he's up to now? If he was sincere, I bet he's feeling pretty stupid about now. He probably was sincere.... sincerely crazy.

A billboard, seriously?

I don't use this expression too often, but: LOL

[Udderdude]

There were ads here in the Toronto subway, too .. when I first saw them I had no clue what the fuck they were and it was quite creepy. My next thought was "The TTC must be desperate as fuck for cash if they're allowing these extremely offensive ads to be put up in one of the most culturally diverse cities in North America".

[Ruldra]

lol @ "The Bible guarantees it".

[Elixir]

Apparently the guy running these in New York was tracked down by NPR. He was an MTA employee (these jobs are impossibly difficult to get), he took out his life savings of 140k, left his wife and his kids, quit his job, and spent all of the money on ads.

Also, some woman killed her son, a bunch of people put their pets down, and a bunch of people handed their pets over to a scammer claiming their pets would be saved.

People are dumb. See you next scare.

[Udderdude]

Some more crap, people outside Camping's headquarters protesting/mocking him.

[dcharlie]

some claims now that the Rapture was delayed deliberately by God in order to test peoples faith...

:/

[Ruldra]

See you next scare.

Next one is 12/21/2012.

Once we get past that date, people will say there was a slight miscalculation and the true date is a few years later. And once we get past that, another date will be set. It's been like that for a long time...dunno why people still fall for this.

On another note, does anyone have a link to that crazy religious forum where people are waiting for Judgement Day so they can all go to Heaven? Not sure if I saw the link here or in another forum, but it was some crazy shit.

[greg]

... he took out his life savings of 140k, left his wife and his kids, quit his job, and spent all of the money on ads.

Ah, so here's a guy who really reads his bible. He abandoned his wife and kids. What a retard.

Harold Camping: No Comment Yet on Non-Rapture. He's probably busy trying to figure out how he can explain all this away and avoid the issue of him being another false prophet. Looks like the beginning of the 7th Day Adventist church all over again.

Oh yeah, and apparently this isn't the first time he's done this. He predicted the end of the world in 1994 as well.

[t0yrobo]

No comments from them, but I noticed their website got a facelift on the 23rd

[greg]

A facelift? familyradio.com looks like it was designed in 1996.

I will point out that this crackpot's Family Radio is totally separate from Family Life Radio (www.myflr.org), which is a legitimate ministry radio service. I initially had these two confused when i first heard the news and was a bit shocked because even though I've never listened to FLR, I never figured it to be run by some weirdo like that.

[EinhanderZwei]

Couldn't stand...

As far as I know it's already been recalculated. It should still be in our lifetime though so don't worry. I think the next one after 21/12/12 should be 2017 but that's a scientific one about a possibility of an asteroid impact.

The world already ended in Y2K, 06/06/06 and whatever dates I can't recall on top of my head so I don't mind if it ended a few more times.

This sort of garbage shouldn't even make it to the news.

I'm not trolling, but at times such as this, I genuinely wonder if a "Final Solution" would be great for overly religious people. You know, to put them out of their misery. They will not have my sympathy when they realize their losses were over nothing.

:/

Ugggh. It's so annoying and pretentious how they try to "rationalize" it. Some chick I know said "I still believe in the rapture, but God just decided to save it for some other time". ORLY? Sure, lady. Keep the charade up.

This was all somewhat entertaining, at least. Also, Udderdude wins this thread.

[BulletMagnet]

Oh yeah, and apparently this isn't the first time he's done this. He predicted the end of the world in 1994 as well.

And he ain't done yet - apparently the four horsemen will try again in October!

[Udderdude]

In 2009, the nonprofit Family Radio reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.

Ladies and gentlemen, humanity.
