News So The World's Coming To An End At 6pm 21 May 2011

Was that 6pm your time or ours or do we just die 10 to 12 hours before you? :confused::p

 

[KP the nut]

Well, I've unpacked the shopping. H and I made supper and we've drunk wine - so we're ready. If we are left behind, we are already living in hell, so no change there. God will probably get me for that, oh hold on, he already has :roflmao:

At 6pm (Saturday May 21) your time Australia should have been destroyed by the massive earthquake that is supposed to sweep around the earth leaveing no doubt that the end is upon us. It's after 3 here so I'm sure of I turn on the news I will find that a good portion of the US is gone too :)

Seriously tho, I joke about it but I really feel bad for the people who believe this guy. I mean, he has them convinced that if they wake up Sunday morning they are in hell. I was listening to the radio yesterday and they were talking about a family who had cashed in their children's collage funds so they could go on vacation and spend some time together before the end came (apparently the parents believed they would go to heaven but the kiddos wouldn't). Not cool at all.

Well...to be honest....I'm a little disappointed. Let's take this in a new direction just for fun. Let's suppose the rapture did take place, and all the believers were sucked up into the clouds, and we are all still here. And let's suppose that the world will literally be destroyed on October 21st. Each of us has five months to live life to the fullest. What do you do with your five months? Who do you want to spend it with? What have you not accomplished in your life that you want to make sure to do before we all go down in flames on October 21st? :) And what's stopping you from doing it now? :)

For me that's easy. While there are a lot of little things I would like to do (places I want to see and that kind of thing) the ONLY thing I honestly care about is seeing my kids one more time. I released my girls for adoption on 2000 and I would sell my soul just to hold them again.

I would have to marry my SO. And buy lots of things I can't afford. Do lots of things that may kill me. Buy tickets to random places--whatever I could afford at the moment--and go with my SO. Also, build my puppy a little puppy mansion.

It sounds awful but I can't think of much I'd do differently. If I actually knew- absolutely- that there were only 5 months left for this planet I think the concept would be too overwhelming to do much of anything. I'd probably yell at God an awful lot, thinking perhaps the arguments of a 53 year slightly battered female might make a dent in this bizarre plan of his. The savings would get wiped out, I'm sure, at least trying to feed for 5 months those who had no food. The son in Scotland would get an earfull- please come home. I'd pull out all the pitiful grandmother arguments on that front, to be sure.

Seriously- I have this 'thing' where well, there's not much seperating the proverbial Other Side/Heaven whatever. One minute we'd be here and the next there, discussing the turn of events and presenting our lists of 'WTF's' we've been saving to have answered when we all got there some day. No, do not wish to go there and leave everybody, my children, my husband and ( most of :) ) my family. If the world is to end, they'd be there also, along with everyone I've lost along this journey including my dog. That's just me, of course, with some very definite spiritual beliefs going on.

 

[Nicolette]

Well we made it..... still living :D

 

[Lucycat]

Yes. And the UK is still here too. :)

Anybody missing?

 

[freakofnurture]

Anybody missing?

Nope, just a lot of money that some poor gullible people threw out the window in the wake of this stupid campaign.

Can they sue good Mr. Camping? Or did he off himself when he realised rapture's not going to happen?

EDIT: I wonder what those now college fund deprived kids told their parents in the morning when they woke up and nothing had happened.

I'm really, really hoping there are no news stories of anyone driven to taking their lives because of this. It's part of what made me so awfully angry, thinking of the alarm these dreadful people caused others. How dare they? I'd posted something yesterday, then seriously thought later I'd left a swear word in there without the asteric I usually use when using that word- kept me awake worrying about getting a temp ban here! That's how rattled worrying about the effects this stupid prophecy made me, however. Hee, yes I do know- no posting when enraged over *ssw*pe prophets, or anything else.

 

[amethist]

I'm still here too, just :roflmao:

So now we look forward to the next installment. Oh yes there is one of those to look forward to. It seems that October 2, 2011 is "The End Of The World Day"

After that we have the end of the Mayan Calender.

So some fun times ahead.
