Anyone have exciting plans for Judgement Day?

[+ glutes]

This time, I think he means HIS days are nearing the end.

 

 

When we last heard from Harold Camping, the Family Radio broadcaster was conceding he'd been wrong about The Rapture beginning on May 21 — a prediction that had some folks selling their worldly possessions and traveling the nation to warn that the end was coming soon.

Harold Camping speaks during a taping of his show Open Forum in Oakland, Calif., on May 23, 2011.

His calculations had been off, Camping said, and it was looking to him like things would really get going (or start stopping?) on Oct. 21.

 

That's next Friday.

 

Now Camping, who says he's recovering slowly from a stroke he suffered in June, has posted a new audio message. He's sounding a little less than definite, but still convinced that the end is coming soon. And he's also predicting it will all sort of happen with a whimper, not a bang.

doomsday

 

Yeah...I couldn't believe he put the doomsday date in THIS year ! Come on now! With the way he operates, he should've made it 2 years out and then collected all that much more money!

Okay, it's almost 5:30 pm eastern time. Should I order a quick carry out or just go ahead and skip dinner since we obviously only have a few hours left. lol

I say dessert for dinner today in honor of the end of times.

Gosh, I'm only reading this now and it's after 9 pm. I'm making this (what I hope will be) incredible dish involving cod fish, potatoes, onions, diced tomatoes, white wine, various spices, cannellini beans and polenta. I'm patterning it after the wonderful Tuscan cod dish I had at the Heavenly Cafe in P-town this summer. If this is to be the last supper, I guess this is as good a meal as I'm likely to get today. But I do hope the rapture can hold off until after we've had dessert - I think I want my last taste of food to be some sort of chocolate and I made brownies yesterday.

Phil are they the kind of brownies which can get your rapturous without the world ending? If so I live in Jersey and can be there in an hour.

[Phil_musc]

No, they were Trader Joe's guilt free brownies with no "additives." Blissful but not rapturous.

So THIS is what it is like after the world ends! wow! I don't get why it's such a big deal.

Oh yeah that was yesterday, wasn't it? Totally forgot.

 

Apparently Camping said it would be very, very subtle this time, so subtle it might not be noticed.

Hear, hear! The end of times has been postponed to December 2012 ...

 

Hush, hush ... don't tell anyone, just keep it private.
