Title: Happy Judgement day!
Post by: Not a Zombie on May 21, 2011, 09:56:26 AM
Thats right, may 21 2011, judgement day. Info:

I personally think its a bunch of baloney, in the Bible Christ says no one but the Father will know the day of his return. I personally am a Christian and know many, many others who also think this is ridiculous, and even harmful. All the people who believed him (including a guy who spent his life savings advertising for it in new york) will have a rude awakening tomorrow when they haven't been raptured, and who knows what it'll do to their faith and life. I find it kinda sad... Who else has heard about this and what are your thoughts?

Harold Camping already failed to predict Judgement Day (technically he is predicting Armageddon, Judgement Day comes after the Millenium) back in 1994, so I am not sure why anyone still follows him.

Jehovah's Witnesses' have also predicted the End several times incorrectly (although, as with Harold Camping, proponents feel they were steps towards the End) and they still have many followers.

Its hard to admit you are wrong and then turn back on some basic beliefs. I don't envy the position his followers are in.

It end can't come! The German cup final hasn't finished. And there is the possibility of overtime and a penalty shoot-out so who knows when it's gonna be over...so there you go :)

TJ: Agreed, I don't envy his followers either. And I suppose you are right, today is the rapture, the end of the world is October 21st he says :P

UN: Don't worry, it isn't still 6pm EST :P

Everybody wants to make predictions this days so here are mine......

Heat beat the Bulls in 6, Mavs beats the Thunder in 5 and the Heat sweep the Mavs :up:.

Oh and tomorrow it WILL rain somewhere in the US or Europe.

I don't think the Mavs will be swept,  :P

And I think the Bulls can still pull it off actually - just need to shoot better than the 35% or so they had in game 2.

I am going for the Bulls. Don't like the Heat that much. But I do agree with the Maves goin.

that is something my dad says to people who buy into end of the world dates. "If you really believe this stuff, then write me a $1,000 dollar check which I can cash the day after (in this case October 22,  2011). Any avid student of the Bible knows that the end can't arrive yet, there are still things which are suppose to occur which have not.

Oh wow it's 12:01 here and its raining and not only that the Mavs just won the game. Looks like they might win it in 5 games. I might change my name to napstradamus. Anyway, off to drink some kool-aid in my compound if anyone wants to go join me  :P.

2:30PM on May 22 in the Pacific Northwest. Spent the 21st training with my Air Force wing and now here I am still waiting for the end of the world. Anyone want to write me a $1,000 dollar check for Oct. 22? I could use the extra cash.

Read the 'About'. Its a joke. He's spoofing Camping.

He might be joking, but my predictions are looking more and more like the truth. It rained the day I claimed, Mavs beat the Thunder to go up 2-1 (I predicted Mavs in 5) and the Heat beat the Bulls to take a 2 game to 1 lead (I predicted the Heat in 6). Anyway, to all you non-believers, you better get ready cause I'm only making enough Kool-aid to get the first 50 people that come follow me to my compound a ride on the comet. The Naptronamore Comet is expected to arrive on November 18, 2045. Get your acts together, believe what I say and a nice glass of kool-aid (with special sauce) will be waiting for you and the ride of your life time will soon follow :up:.

PS: First 10 followers get a free t-shirt of me surfing on the comet with a glass in one hand and a peace sign in the other.

I wanted to write my ex-gf a letter but then I thought about it and I was like "this aint gonna happen, and even if it did, screw her! Why should I be bothered about her! She's in the past now!!"

this aint gonna happen, and even if it did, screw her!

This right here, was awesome. Way to go, dude! Thumbs up!

PS: I'm not a religious guy, and I went through Law School, so I'm a bit worried. Is this supposed to be the day God passes judgment on your soul? Because if it is... yikes! Time to pack my fan and get ready to go "south", I guess. Gonna meet some of the greatest minds in Law, though, so at least I might be able to finally get some questions answered.

rapture (which doesn't actually appear in the bible) is an event when  God will "summon" the righteous to him in order to remove them from the world so they are "protected" from the wickedness which will abound during the last days before the return of Christ.

So, in short terms, I'm toast (literally, as the case may be). Ok, got it. Thanks for the explanation, though. :D

Sorry, no error. May 21 was the rapture, Oct. 21 was the end of the world. According to the "prophet" The rapture would occur and the rest of us would be left behind to suffer until Oct. 21 when we would all die from famine and disease.

The guy who made the prediction, Mr. Camping, must not even read the Bible, because it explicitly says "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:36).

False prophet. The world has many of those. Like people trying to sell me insurance. Or law schools saying that a majority of their graduates make near 160k a year. :P

Wow. Just... wow. That's, like, what? 12,000.00 a month, if you have 13th salary like we do here? That's pretty sweet, that's more than I intend to make as a Judge (at first, at least, it rises afterwards) after going through #$&*@! to get there first. Guess I chose the wrong country to graduate in. ;)

Right? And most lawyers don't make that much at all.

For many lawyers, it really is the end of the world though (to tie it back to the topic).  Lots of lawyers lost their jobs, and many recent law school grads just can't find any jobs. :(
