May 21 was Judgment Day, you were judged. Oct 21 you will find out how it turned out

[Cheese]

I know I read this here before but can't find the thread it was associated with.
Anyways I thought it would be fun to see if it really happens. I mean should we take the 21st off of work to stay home and....
If anyone believes this can they give me their house and investments?
I guess we dont get all of the May 24 weekend because of this? Should we sue someone?

Judgement Day

"Cry mightily unto GOD for HIS mercy," says one of the mounted signs from Family Radio, a California-based sectarian Christian group that is sending one if its four travelling caravans of believers into Vancouver and Calgary within the next 10 days.Family Radio's website is blunt in its prediction of Judgment Day and the rolling earthquake that will mark the beginning of the end. "The Bible guarantees it!" the site proclaims, under a passage from the book of Ezekiel, which says "blow the trumpet … warn the people."

[IliketoPuck]

Sounds like a fun, family event. Is it kind of like a parade with floats and candy?

[Frequitude]

There will be some 0.1 magnitude rumble somewhere in the world and these loonies will keep on keepin on.

This means there are only 11 shopping days until there are no shopping days.

[Weiser Wonder]

Thank god, I was getting really tired of this ####.

[burn_this_city]

I'll be flying back from Vegas that day, hopefully the earthquakes will be over by the time I land.

Although I feel the likelihood of this is nil... things like this would almost be worth it for the magnitude of the "I told you so"

doomsday & doomsday cults

http://www.2think.org/hundredsheep/s...dictions.shtml

Throughout history, there have been those who have predicted the Coming of the End, the Consummation of All Things, the Return of Christ, Armageddon, Ragnarok, what-have-you. The majority of these seers and prognosticators were wise enough to leave the date unspecified, presumably to avoid embarrassment when the expected event failed to materialize. Others, such as Nostradamus and Bishop Ussher, put the date far into the future, long after their corporeal bodies had returned to dust.

There are those few brave souls, however, who are willing to stick their necks out, and give us a date in the near future, when they themselves will presumably still be around to either bask in the glow of glory, or suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, should the cosmic plan go awry. It is to these, the few, the brave and most importantly, the Web-enabled that this list is dedicated.

I bet this has never happened before.

and today we see......

Earthquakes in Spain

Madrid Spain experiences two strong earthquakes in quick succession. Major damage reported, fatalities feared.


hmmm..is that Four Horsemen I see in the distance?

At least we don't have to see the Canucks hoist the Stanley Cup.

There's always a bright side.

I actually think Vancouver winning the Cup would mean Judgement Day has already occurred. We would all be in hell.

[DownhillGoat]

I think they really do believe it and they can convince people who may end up in fact doing things like … quitting their jobs, selling their house,

Now I'm not much of a church-goin feller, but could somebody please enlighten me on why you would quit your job or sell your house 2 weeks prior to judgment day? The money's not going to do you any good, and if the world's going to end anyway, why not just call in sick for those 2 weeks?

For anyone that's expecting to go on the 21st...

Can I have your stuff?

[Traditional_Ale]

The thing I'm mostly wondering is what alien visitors think when they sift through the rubble of our extinct civilization...

[HotHotHeat]

The thing I never understand about these judgement days is how do their supporters legitimze anything to do with their beliefs afterwords?

If you don't like what people are saying about you, change the conversation.

It is kind of like Oiler fans. How they legitimize their beliefs that their team of midgets will actually challenge for a cup in the next 5 years is beyond me.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

Meh, this guy is nothing new.
I heard of some other prophet who was pretty clear on when Judgment day would be, first he said Aug 29, 1997, then it was July 25, 2004, finally he said it was April 21, 2011, and so far we're still here.

Can't remember his name though....John something.....or maybe Connor, oh well, his name isn't important.

[Reggie Dunlop]

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

[Mass_nerder]

The 21st is actually supposed to be the resurrection of the dead...does everyone have their zombie survival plan worked out?
