So its already May 22 in some parts of the world. And 6pm has passed for many timezones. I was watching an interview of this guy last night on TV, was it 60 minutes? He was asked what if it doesn’t happen. His reply, “I’m not thinking about that. I’m sure it will happen.” So someone please interview this guy again. Or did he make a mistake in his calculation again? :rolleyes:
 
Check your calendar again–when you posted this it was Friday, May 20, 2011.😛

Unless you’re not in Kansas anymore…
Well, what happened was it was one in the morning and it said it was May 21st, so I got confused out of sleep deprivation. 😛
 
What are you guys talking about? Did you guys miss it? I am typing to you from heaven! Yep, the Lord came and all of a sudden I was nude flying towards the sky. Heaven is wonderful it’s very cliche, you got clouds, rainbows, waterfalls, lions with lambs, and everyone holding hands singing! lol. 😉
 
I didn’t realize that we would be snatched out of our clothes :eek: Images of 200 million naked people all floating off into the wild blue yonder crossed my mind.😊
Tim Staples said that when he was raised in his Baptist church they were taught they would be snatched out of their clothes, so that’s why I wrote that out of humor. 😛
 
I’ve got to make a Walmart run. My daughter’s graduation party is this afternoon…still getting supplies.
Honestly, I’d take a rain check on that walmart run and head straight to a local Baptist church to get saved. You can’t get saved in any Catholic church. We Catholics don’t believe in any highly un-biblical thing such as the Rapture, so we can’t get saved.
 
So 6pm has come and gone in New York City. Should I be running to confession now? Confession is 'til 4pm PDT at the parish near me :rolleyes:
 
He has become a bonafide cult leader and I am disgusted with Family Radio for leaving him o the air. I have lost all respect for them as well.
FWIW, according to the Wikipedia article, Harold Camping is the president of Family Radio. When he co-founded it 50 years ago, it was fairly normal fundamentalist/Evangelical station. But in the late 1990s, it shifted heavily towards presentation of Camping’s personal theology… dissonant voices not welcome.

Note: Family Radio shouldn’t be confused with Family Radio Service, American Family Radio, or Family Life Radio.
 
Reading his statement tomorrow and having to own up to the fact that he is wrong AGAIN should be interesting. He cannot avoid the media since he made his millions via the media. One has to think with all his years of bible study he would have come upon Mark 13? Shame on Mr. Camping for the pain and suffering he has caused his followers. Some to the point that they sold their houses, spent their life savings, and wasted their own time to deliver this false message. I will pray for them.
 
Word is, the Rapturists are rejoicing ! We have been granted more time due to their fervent prayers that we be spared ! The believers have saved the world !

If those convinced of the Rapture had not been so, surely we would have perished by now. So, it’s true !

O ye of little faith, recant and repent !

Honestly…that’s probably as picture perfect a prediction of their response that I have heard.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Evidently there is high-speed wireless too! LOL
 
The priest was cracking jokes during the Homily and the Gospel was PERFECT for the occasion, John’s Gospel “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” and “Let not your hearts be troubled.”

I am glad I was in church during the non-event.

:rolleyes:

But we Catholics wouldn’t have been taken up anyway, right, cause we are heathen?

I agree so much. :sad_yes:
 
I just wished someone who belived in the false prophecy would have given me their money lol.
 
Well, it’s 6:11 pm PDT here in Seattle, and all is well…Of course, I haven’t had any phone calls for awhile.:rolleyes:

All is well here in Kentucky at 9:15 est, which is Heaven on Earth come to think of it. So I’m not so sure yet :rotfl:
 
I am somewhat surprised at how much publicity this end times prophesy has received.

How many people bought into it? Who is this guy? How can he persuade seemingly so many people to believe his crackpot theory? I read that some people quit their jobs. Others liquidated their assets.

I think that overall it reflects poorly upon Christians, especially Fundamentalists. There must be a lot of people who are eager for the world to end and are easily convinced. :confused:
It’s an opportunity for the media to make Christianity look silly as a whole. That’s why it gets so much publicity. It’s called guilt by association.

It’s the same with failings in the church - the Church and her people can help millions of people annually via charities and service, and it will be barely reported, but if a single priest is convicted of child abuse, that will make front page news.
