May 21, 2011 rapidly approaching, doomsday - ready?

If he's missing, maybe he got Raptured. If only 200,000 people in the world got to go, that would hardly be noticeable. Perhaps it happened after all. :vulcan:
 
Lets not group all Christians with these nutcases. As was pointed out before, the Bible says no man knows the time of Jesus' return. This fruit loop wanted attention and had no factual knowledge of the Word. And also, lets not dismiss God because of His followers either.

So many things I could say that would just prove this post mostly useless, but since your new I won't.

Welcome to TrekBBS.

How is the post useless? Are you saying all Christians are like this guy? I think actually the post was mostly accurate, in fact I'd go as far to say that Camping is not actually a Christian, even though he claims to be, seeing he studies the bible, yet somehow "Misses" the part saying "No man will know the time" etc.

For future reference, "your" when used in this context, is in fact "you are" or "you're". Sorry, it just annoyed me :).

I said most of the post useless, not all of it. I agree with some it and I could easily tear apart the other parts. I won't becuase he is new and its not nice.

You're(I put by accident your) is a common thing that people get annoyed with me about. Including becuase instead of because.

No one I know went missing, but knowing my friends that's not surprising. :rommie:
 
Here's another article from CBS News: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/05/23/ap/national/main20065524.shtml

What's funny is that if Tim LaHaye tells you that you're bizarre and 100% wrong, and he's factually correct? You know you're fucked!

Well, in this case, LaHaye IS correct. He says it's impossible to know the date and that is true.

That's what I'm saying. LaHaye was quoted as saying Camping was wrong, and then he quoted the relevant Bible verse, and was actually correct. Like I said, when that happens, you know you're in trouble. :lol:
 
This guy is a real ass. Now if someone told me he was still alive, I'd be really shocked. He shouldn't be so disappointed he's not dead.

Well, my prediction of a mass suicide didn't come true on May 22nd. Unlike this Camping dude, I'm relieved to be proven wrong, regardless of how much pleasure I've derived from smirking at the absurdity of it all. (much of it derived from the resentment I feel at being raised with an apocalypse-crazed parent whose beliefs are only marginally less wacky than these guys).

I predict a mass suicide on Oct 22n...ok maybe not.
 
They must have some backup plan if it fails to come through - you'd think? Just for pragmatic and fund raising reasons you'd think there will be talking points when the end of times fails to appear.

I'd wager it will be something like, "Jesus has arrived, he's in your spirit, and for those that don't accept him they are dead."

This type of dogma has always been the 'out clause,' in the past at least with the larger organized Christian groups.

Pretty close, good guess:

On May 21, this last weekend, this is where the spiritual aspect of it really comes through. God again brought judgment on the world. We didn’t see any difference but God brought Judgment Day to bear upon the whole world.

[...]
It won’t be spiritual on October 21st. The world is going to be destroyed all together, but it will be very quick.

Mr. Camping, despite having a BS degree in Engineering form UC Berkley [likely one the University wishes they could revoke] has rescheduled [do to a math error :rolleyes: ]Jesus arrival on planet earth to 10.21. It's simply unbelievable that anyone follows this shit.
