Goodbye Cruel World - Postponed to Oct 21st

Post by Alee Enn »

No before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am NOT going to end it all.

BUT

There are some people, who, (and I really am not surprised) claim the world will end on May 21st.

Yep I'm not making this up : http://uk.news.yahoo.com/preachers-prop ... 38169.html

So ....

I'll see you all here on May 22nd :P

Did you read the last part?
Meanwhile, enterprising atheists across 26 states have set up a business to care for the animal companions of any Christians who are selected to go to heaven when Jesus Christ comes back
And they claim to have already "259 clients, who have paid $135 for the first pet and $20 for each additional pet"

Blow the trumpet, warn the people
And leave your worldly possessions to anyone who's not interested in it.
I see it's become an international... campaign?
It's also made it into my list of incoming disasters :D

I've seen some posters in a intersection about that but I was to busy with the traffic lights to have time to read them.

Well , I guess sunday I'll be to busy cleaning after the end of the world to be able to play Witcher 2 :roll:

Btw how the hell these guys are so rich to have money for their "freaky signs" ?

@ Alien ND

It's been just a bit over an hour and a half since i first saw your post with THAT title and clicked on it in total fear. It has taken me this long to calm down enough to post without going batshit. It was some years ago in another forum while several of us were on that a person made a post with a similar title. The difference being they said in the post they were going to harm themselves. By the time we could get the police and site admin involved they had carried out their threat by the time the police got to them.

If i could right now i would 'FIGURATIVELY' (as in not really) kick you in the backside so hard you would be wearing it for a hat. PLEASE don't do that again. You scared the crap out of me!

Mark,
I'm sorry about that (ok, maybe I am, maybe I'm not :P ) but I did say in the very first line that I was NOT going to end it all :roll:

Soooo ... yeah, I was naughty for using an attention grabbing thread title sorry

So we'll know if the Hughes bros aren't posting on Saturday that we should consider heading down to our local church and start reading our bibles.

I hope it isn't the end of the world. I was really looking forward to X:Rebirth and the new ES.

This might be a rip-off.
As a chrstian (technically, anyway) I would first demand proof that said atheists are prepared to survive a world-destroying earthquake which will probably result in a good number of massive volcanic eruptions and a new ice age.

OTOH, maybe I should pay them to keep me as a pet if that works so well. Sounds like a workable solution.

Give anyone a book full of numbers and dates and I'm sure they could mathematically calculate the end of the world on almost any day they want.

Didn't Luis Theroux cover something like this with a cult of kiddy fiddlers a couple of years ago?

Was that the one with the guy who said the world would end, thought he was the messiah and slept with about every woman in his group? Then was found wrong and arrested or something?

Why would anyone want to arrest him? Because he was wrong about the end of the world, or because he slept with the groupies? :gruebel:

Yeah, he was shagging a 15 year old girl and that's frowned upon.

I think once the date he'd set for the rapture had come and gone (Louis filmed the whole thing) he then said he'd been mistaken and that the date was actually some time in 2010. I wonder if he is the one who se this date on Saturday as well.

The followers all gave their worldly wealth to the cult. The men also had to agree that the leader/messiah had sexual rights to all the girlfriends, wives and daughters. The men in the cult were less enthusiastic than the girls so the old fella must have been pretty hot in the sack.
