You guys are going to be so embarrassed in two days when it ends for making all of these jokes.

If the world does end in 2 days there will be no room for embarrassment cause we’ll all be dead…!!! 😃

should I stock up on candy bars? I thought he was joking. But, apparently, he believes it.

Has anyone of this? How can anyone take such seriously?

Ask him if you can have all his money before the end comes.

Then you’ll know if he truly believes or not.

Again, just sell them stuff on credit. When the world doesn’t end, you sue them for all the money they owe you.

No this is thinking wrongly. Having money in hand is better than trying to collect later.

Seriously though, there have been those who have sold everything thinking the end is near.

I’m guessing he’s predicting the 2nd coming of Jesus. If that’s the case, then we won’t be dead! Those of us who have persevered will all be caught up to meet Jesus in the air, so it’s really a win!! w0000000000t!! 😃

I thought Catholics don’t believe in the Rapture and that the Rapture is different from the Second Coming of Jesus. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Catholics believe in the Rapture… Just not tribulation force style.
 
It could be that it is not the World that Ends, but a Religion as one Knows it. Thus the end of an Days, Age of Era!

A new thread on this topic would be good!

God Bless and Regards Tony
 
How in the world did he come up with 5 p.m. Tuesday?

Stuff like this always reminds me of a cult I saw on the evening news years and years ago. They were predicting the end of the world, and they had seen a sign in the sky that proved it was coming. They even had a photo of the sign: some weirdly shaped clouds. Two of the shapes were circles, and one was a bent line. Obviously nature could not make these strangely-formed clouds.

Then one of the newsmen asked, “Isn’t that a skywriting advertisement for the new 007 movie?”

They had no response.

That is both very funny and very sad.
 
I know a man who believes in the “Rapture” (the Left Behind kind) who sold his land because
he believed Jesus was due to come at any time. That was 35 years ago. 😦

That sounds about right. There was a common belief amongst some that Israel’s date of becoming a modern state, 1948, was the sign that the end times were here. Taking the comment Jesus made about “this generation will not pass away until the Son of man comes…” and using 40 years as a generation, they predicted that Jesus would have to come sometime in 1988. Well, guess what? They were wrong. Jesus didn’t come, and the world tottled on as it had before.

I think the person who told NotAllHere that the end will be on a particular day and time had done (or heard of/knew someone who had done) some kind of similar calculation based on some kind of flawed biblical interpretation (of which there are legion). Either that, or the poor thing had watched the movie “2012” one too many times. 😛
