Yeah right...........         

I wouldn't say that GJ! 

Stanley Bagshaw! Have you read them Joe? My kids used to love them. He was this little Northern lad who had bizarre adventures without realising it and then he always complained that nothing good ever happened round here

You wanna come to my house, someone just got shot over the road

I had a moment of  " whatthe...?!!!!11" at about11.45,when some numpty decided it was a good plan to set off some fireworks!

They will be saying now that they use a different calender etc etc.............. Piggin weirdos

Have you got vid of it?

Karmas neighbours are quality. We were chatting in a thread the other day about Karma's legendary thread about them rucking with trousers up a tree and a chicken in the road

Well I'm reading this at 8 minutes past midnight BST which is 8 minutes past 11 GMT, so thats the time thing covered and I ain't no zombienor do I feel raptured. So either it didn't happen or I'm disappointed, or both....as I reckon that it not happening should make me disappointed.

Shit---- Hope she comes back with a thread about them- sounds interesting. ( later that is))

We wont know when it happens. That is the best thing about it. No-one can predict the end of the world- only those that may cause it. Aliens or nuclear Armageddon 

Mayan calendar....winter solstice 2012!

oh bloodyell.. all that tinned food I stockpiled expires in Nov 2012! 

Poor old Harold Camping.

Though that still is a hilarious name for such an anti-gay bigot.

Am I the only one slightly disappointed that their prediction didn't come true tonight?  

Aren't all religeous people anti gay bigots.?

Yes.  They're all dicks

Plenty of time to get another month's worth in.

Oooooo those were my favouritest, favouritest books to read out loud, in the accent of course

Not at all surprised Vid, as I didn't believe a word of it.  There has always been all sorts of predictions of dooooooom from various people over the years, but the world still continues to turn... 

Hi Lori, hope you're well. 

Not all, just some.

The wombat is at it again - he now predicts the world will come to an end on 21 October, the world did start coming to an end on Saturday, it's just not registered with us yet. (apologies to all wombats )

Apparently when studying his bible again he realised that God, in His mercifulness, would compress the 'Hell on Earth' period. But he forgot to take this into account in his original calculations (he is 89 afterall) So this is why we have an extra 5 months!

If he had read his bible more carefully he would realise that nowhere in it does it even speculate as to when the Second Coming will be.  Indeed its made clear that even Jesus does not know.

Beat me to it!

Matthew 24:34-36

"Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."

I read an interesting article in the Christian Science Monitor about this:

Leaving aside the question of whether it's possible to calculate the date of Judgement Day from the Bible anyway (see above), it seems that Harold Camping made some pretty obvious errors in his (rather convoluted) calculations.

For a start, he counts April the 1st, 2011 twice.

Then he bases his count on Jesus' crucifixion, which he takes to be April 1st, 33AD, Only thing is: that date was a Wednedsay. (Those who remember their Sunday School lessons may spot the problem there... )

Can't believe so many in the US and elsewhere in the world believed him. People like him with his message of fear affected many lives, just one instance, a Mother in Detroit killed her 5 year old son because of her fear of how he might suffer if it was the end of the world.

The preacher who through the media got so much publicity has apologised for getting the date wrong and has suggested another date...I won't quote it. People should find out for themselves what's ahead and then either believe it or not, it makes no difference, it will either happen or not.
