May 21st - Oops - October 21st, 2011

Yeah...why not end the world on a fucking Monday or something?

Why on a Saturday?

That's just bullshit.

Yeah no kidding. I'm calling the next end of world date and you better f*ckin believe it will be a Monday! I'll let you guys know which date I pick after I do some calculations on my Texas Instruments calculator.

Yeah I hear it all over the place here, Ed. It just gives me an excuse to grab another bottle of ice cold blueberry cider and give them a reason to hope it happens to them.

Probably not in Iran, Syria, Egypt, or Afghanistan.

Happens there everyday and your great grandchildren will get to pay for it, if you have any.

They may be hearing BS there - but I doubt it's the May 21st end of the world BS that's being preached over here.

I'm sure their end of the world stories are quite different.

As best I can tell right now Australia and New Zealand are still there with no major "rolling earthquakes" being reported.

Looks like India is getting damn close to 6:00pm

Fiji and those places seem to still be with us.

At least there's no major reports on any of the news sites.

Which forum member will possibly experience the 6:00pm earthquakes first?

Hey you may be on the leading edge for the forum--are you doing reports from Rehobeth Beach?

Nah - I'm 100 miles north of there.

There are forum members in Australia. They're either already in the throws of apocalypse or partying like it's 1999.

i got it all covered !!

A guy I facebook with in Malaysia has posted that everything is a-okay and they've past 6:00pm in their time zone quite some time ago.

6pm on the east coast ... all's well ...

6:40pm here.....peaceful, gorgeous, quiet, and very very uncatastrophic.

No zombies, no earthquakes, and no jesus.

C'mon.
Certainly, there must be SOMEBODY who'd like to share their world-ending experience with us. :)

I wonder what the staunch supporters of all this are now saying? ;)

Part of my world ended today..the part where the rear shock was trying to kill me. I made some drastic adjustments on trail today and immediately my riding was much better. I thought I had good settings, but needed way more rebound damping. I probably doubled my pace on ST.

well its over,and it ended after 6 as planned.

OAKLAND, Calif. – A California preacher who foretold of the world's end only to see the appointed day pass with no extraordinarily cataclysmic event has revised his apocalyptic prophecy, saying he was off by five months and the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.

Harold Camping, who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven Saturday before catastrophe struck the planet, apologized Monday evening for not having the dates "worked out as accurately as I could have."
He spoke to the media at the Oakland headquarters of his Family Radio International, which spent millions of dollars_ some of it from donations made by followers — on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judgment Day message.

It was not the first time Camping was forced to explain when his prediction didn't come to pass. The 89-year-old retired civil engineer also prophesied the Apocalypse would come in 1994, but said later that didn't happen then because of a mathematical error.

Through chatting with a friend over what he acknowledged was a very difficult weekend, it dawned on him that instead of the biblical Rapture in which the faithful would be swept up to the heavens, May 21 had instead been a "spiritual" Judgment Day, which places the entire world under Christ's judgment, he said.

The globe will be completely destroyed in five months, he said, when the apocalypse comes. But because God's judgment and salvation were completed on Saturday, there's no point in continuing to warn people about it, so his network will now just play Christian music and programs until the final end on Oct. 21.

"We've always said May 21 was the day, but we didn't understand altogether the spiritual meaning," he said. "The fact is there is only one kind of people who will ascend into heaven ... if God has saved them they're going to be caught up."
Josh Ocasion, who works the teleprompter during Camping's live broadcasts in the group's threadbare studio sandwiched between an auto shop and a palm reader's business, said he enjoyed the production work but never fully believed the May 21 prophecy would come true.

"I thought he would show some more human decency in admitting he made a mistake," he said Monday. "We didn't really see that."

Follower Jeff Hopkins said he spent a good deal of his own retirement savings on gas money to power his car so people would see its ominous lighted sign showcasing Camping's May 21 warning. As the appointed day drew nearer, Hopkins started making the 100-mile round trip from Long Island to New York City twice a day, spending at least $15 on gas each trip.

"I've been mocked and scoffed and cursed at and I've been through a lot with this lighted sign on top of my car," said Hopkins, 52, a former television producer who lives in Great River, NY. "I was doing what I've been instructed to do through the Bible, but now I've been stymied. It's like getting slapped in the face."

Camping's hands shook slightly as he pinned his microphone to his lapel, and as he clutched a worn Bible he spoke in a quivery monotone about some listeners' earthly concerns after giving away possessions in expectation of the Rapture.

Family Radio would never tell anyone what they should do with their belongings, and those who had fewer would cope, Camping said.

"We're not in the business of financial advice," he said. "We're in the business of telling people there's someone who you can maybe talk to, maybe pray to, and that's God."

But he also said that he wouldn't give away all his possessions ahead of Oct 21.
"I still have to live in a house, I still have to drive a car," he said. "What would be the value of that? If it is Judgment Day why would I give it away?"

Apocalyptic thinking has always been part of American religious life and popular culture. Teachings about the end of the world vary dramatically — even within faith traditions — about how they will occur.
Still, the overwhelming majority of Christians reject the idea that the exact date or time of Jesus' return can be predicted.

Tim LaHaye, co-author of the best-selling "Left Behind" novels about the end times, recently called Camping's prediction "not only bizarre but 100 percent wrong!" He cited the Bible verse Matthew 24:36, "but about that day or hour no one knows" except God.

Camping offered no clues about Family Radio's finances Monday, saying he could not estimate how much had been spent advertising his prediction nor how much money the nonprofit had taken in as a result. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.

So - October 21st is still the true, final, end all date........

So to sum it all up for Harold Camping, being a false prophet is quite a money making venture. CHA-CHING!! Its all coming out now.

wow,he spent 15$ a day on gas

"I was doing what I've been instructed to do through the Bible, but now I've been stymied. It's like getting slapped in the face."

It feels like a slap in the face because it's God trying to wake your silly ass up.

So, I guess that, in other words, God gave the information to a loser who got the date wrong.
I actually joked about that after I realized I was still alive and breathing. :)

I didn't believe the guy before, so why should I believe it's in October now?

click me


Holy shit!!!!! Today is the day. Maybe.

Okay.

Elk season ended yesterday and I didn't even see a legal bull all year as the management policies here are pretty much decimating our ungulate populations.

And it's our wedding anniversary today and we're about 600 miles apart.

That's it for me.

I think I'm more worried about the nutbar in Iran trying to trigger the Apocalypse that will lure Muhammad al-Mahdi out of the holy well at the Jamkaran mosque, than I am about some nutbar just running around telling everybody they're about to be left behind.

Did i miss a day somewhere? Here, Saturday is the 22nd. Friday was the 21st. These dates seem weird. Maybe there was a tremor in the force..

But i am back in sunny az.. from almost a month in freezing utah. I have lots of rides, pics, & apocalyptic tales to relate, when i can recover.
