Are we all still here?
 

So, no rapture, then?

Whenever anyone predicts the end of the world, I always think it's important to give them as much publicity afterwards as before. Follow-up interviews.

"So..... any thoughts on why it didn't happen? Bad maths? Or perhaps God's wisdom wasn't really revealed to you, eh?"

Most psychological studies indicate that these people resolve the cognitive dissonance by such things as "our prayers saved the world". (Which calls for some pretty large theological hand-waving in itself.)

Matthew 24:36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Matthew 24:42-44 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

Hopefully I'm not breaking rules by posting Scripture.

im kinda here…thxs for asking

Benwiggy: Don't give up so easy! The guy who predicted this said 6 pm. He lives in Oakland, CA. So, you'll be fast asleep when it happens...

God, being an Englishman, uses GMT, surely!

He is a very old man. Surely, we can forgive him for being one day off. The real end starts Sunday at 6pm local, when an earthquake drops California into the sea.

BTW, his little non-profit organization has assets of $104 million. Guess that makes predicting "doom" a recession proof business?

God, or Harold Camping?

We were watching the evening news as the appointed hour arrived. The newscaster noted that the world had not ended, to which our 14 year old says, "What's he talking about, the world doesn't end till December 21, 2012!"

We explained, "Oh, that's the other end of the world."

Ha. Guess they're both a day older now, but only one of them is surprised at that. :)

I guess there are a few believers out there trying to get their old jobs back today.

I was in town when it was supposed to happen. I thought of bringing a set of clothes and leaving them on the sidewalk. :D

I wonder if the pastor will take attendance today?

......... and they'll pass the plate, too.

I'm not sure if it ended or not, but I keep seeing all the same people today so I guess if it did I'm with them (wherever they are) but my Mac is still working ;)

pgr

Predicting doomsday has been a cottage industry for eons -- there are lists of past doomsdays, each predicted from sacred texts of some kind somewhere. What blows my mind is the news story that some guy in NYC cashed in all of his chips ($140K) so he could buy advertising to warn others.

LOL. Why didn't I think of that? :D

Come on, Harold, cheer up. You made one little mistake, it's not the end of the world! :)

"C'est pas la fin du monde si le monde finit pas." - French quote passed around on Friday

These people would be more accurate in predicting the end of their life. Predicting the end of the world is much much harder to do.

"I predict the world will end somewhere between now and infinity." Pastor Shawn Browning

Pastor now says he was off a few months due to a math error. The new, revised end of the world is now October 21, 2011... not 2012, but later this year.

Amazing.

The man is 89. One of these days, he's gonna get it right!

According to the Bible, this guy's a false prophet and should be stoned to death. :D
