moxilotMemberAnyone catch the billboard near the bridge on ramp off of Delridge? Here’s the link for the folks behind it: http://www.wecanknow.com/
From the site: “This web site serves as an introduction and portal to four faithful ministries which are teaching that WE CAN KNOW from the Bible alone that the date of the rapture of believers will take place on May 21, 2011 and that God will destroy this world on October 21, 2011.”
Hmmmm…looks like I won’t have to take care of all of that pesky ‘disaster preparedness’ since the world’s just going to end anyway……

casabobaMemberCheck this out for more detail:
Maybe we should all meet for Martinis somewhere on May 21st?

2 Much WhineParticipantI’m starting my diet on the 22nd. . . . .I promise. SOOOOO, if the rapture folks are wrong, does that mean some branch of Christianity has to pick a new date, just goes away with tail between legs or explains why it didn’t happen?

dawsonctParticipantHow will that affect my tomatoes this Summer?

datamuseParticipant2 Much Whine: previous examples of same suggest some combination of all three. It’s AMAZING how many times the date of the Rapture turns out to have been incorrectly calculated. :D

FreedomFromSnarkMemberI love when the rapture comes up…it’s a great chance to remember that the word doesn’t even appear in the bible, nor does the concept that most people associate with the word that doesn’t show up in the bible (the one mass, cleansing, definitive sweep). Good times.

JoBParticipantDP..
TMI
i think i will just continue living as though tomorrow will come…
the upside is that if tomorrow comes i will be ready for it…
the downside?
i can’t think of one.
even if joining the churches sponsoring this coming rapture would save me..
it wouldn’t matter.
I am particular about the company i keep.
especially so if my time is limited.
impending doom
is no time to surround yourself with fatalistically judgmental people
i’m looking for those McIver types
good men .. and women.. to have in a pinch

2 Much WhineParticipantI think I’ll spend the next few weeks with my mother-in-law. It will seem like an eternity. . . . (just a joke).

dhgParticipantHe could at least have the decency to do this BEFORE April 15th but no, I have all these forms to fill out….
And DP: I’d say I’ll have what she’s having, but it looks like Fruit Loops and ordinary Fruit Loops just don’t do that for me.

WesMemberHyper-christiandom is too funny. I thought this was only something the Jehovah Witnesses did though. Hmm, things they are a-changin!

anonymeParticipantI’d like to see all of these doomsday fundies put their money where their mouths are. I suggest that they commit their entire net worth to a fund for the American Atheist Society should their predictions fail. As they will.

KenParticipantThe end is near….. again!

casabobaMemberIf Las Vegas doesn’t give odds on it happening I’m not believing it… It’s still one heck of an excuse to party though!

charlabobParticipantIn the midwest during the last century the “hip” bumper sticker was some variation of “When the rapture comes this car will be empty.” Since most of the folks driving the cars were of questionable driving skill, I usually thought “Can’t happen soon enough for me.”
OTOH, being snarfed to the place where they all would go upon the rapture never was very good motivation for me to do whatever it took to get to join them.

JoBParticipantcharlabob..
if the only thing that will happen when their rapture comes is that they will be gone..
i agree..
it can’t happen too soon…
2Much whine…
you can do that in one afternoon..
then what will you do with the rest of your time:)

Monosyllabic GirlMemberNeat!
So when my pure and innocent fetus vanishes right out of my womb, will I have nothing left to painfully expel but a grotesque and pulsating placenta, like something out of the X-Files?
Or will we both be raptured and merge together, floating around in some space-time continuum like at the end of 2001?
Either way it is going to be totes awesome. Can’t wait.

JoBParticipantMonosyllabic Girl
the silly idea of original sin
would leave the kid behind :(
yeah.. really :(

dhgParticipantSix Feet Under, always a very wicked show, used this theme for one episode. A pickup truck full of helium-filled adult dolls collides in traffic and loses it load. As the dolls ascend to the sky a woman mistakes it for the rapture and steps out into traffic. Sounds plausible, doesn’t it?

kellymParticipantdhg. i think that is the funniest thing i have seen for a long time. going to check it out.
April 7, 2011 at 6:47 pm #721905
redblackParticipantcasaboba: don’t tell anyone, but the real party starts after the rapture.
warning! don’t go out on may 21, because one of the 30 or so “good” people left in the world might be behind the wheel of your bus when he or she is snatched up to paradise.
