May 21st

[Andrew]

Heh, I ended up doing a lot of yard work on Saturday as well.  It was a nice day to be outside.  It didn't even rain, so I'd call that something of a bust for the end of the world.

On Friday and Saturday I went to the familyradio.com website, the organization that was pushing the May 21st Judegement Day thing, and it was of course talking about how the Rapture would happen on that day and so on. I just went on the website right now and of course all traces of the prediction are gone now.

I'm always amazed that preditions of Judgement Day consistently overlook that bit of scripture that says it will come without warning.

A further note. There's a wikipedia article about the prediction, and apparently Harold Camping, who said he was so certain about the prediction, has been holed up and cannot be reached for comment.

A feller by the name of Harold Camping...this is his organization:
He tried once in 94 or so, and got it wrong.  Her eis his logic (from wikipedia):

So... what did he say about this May 21 hot mess today? No end of the world... "Whoops"... "I'm SORRY"?

Whenever an upcoming 'day of ends' is to happen, I always view it with some trepidation. Not because I think it will actually happen, but rather my mom's hysteria over Y2K. She had stocked her home with water, countless containers of coffee, canned vegetables, flour and of all things....lysol.

I read in the paper this morning about a group of eighty (yes, 80!) people that had sold everything, given up their jobs and said their farewells, then booked into a hotel in Johannesburg to await the end of the world. All that's awaiting them now is a huge hotel bill.

Serves them right for being stupid.

Last I read, he said the Rapture did happen, but nobody was worth saving.

That's rather self-depracating, seeing as he would be including himself.

Of course she had Lysol; it was the Y2k bug, after all, and we all know that bugs carry diseases...

I know a lady who took a soap-making course in preparation for Y2K.  Guess she thought she would trade soap for all the other supplies she needed.

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

My wifes grandmother sent us leftover Y2K supplies for YEARS afterwards.  Like i need 5 year old walnuts???

Now Camping says it won't be until OCTOBER 21st. Apparently brimstone was out of stock and had to be back-ordered.
