Me too! I was just talking about the last few sentences you wrote earlier! I totally get where your coming from. Nice to meet another person here who studies the bible & all! I always feel left out lol because a lot of my knowledge (not that I really have that much of it anyways lol) does have to do with my bible studying habits. less

So, the cult saying the world is ending this Saturday, May 21st, have some followers in my area. My father - who works in a sail shop that sells boating/adventure equipment - just got visited by a family who sincerely believes that Florida will end up under water when the world ends this weekend, and they bought kayaks for everyone in the family so they can survive. Apparently, they don't seem to think they'll be ascending with the Rapture.

Anyone else come into contact with these folks? Are you totally jaded or secretly praying they're wrong or are you preparing for the zombie apocalypse instead?

My own opinion - it would fucking figure that I finally meet my equal and Master and the world would end the weekend afterward. less

OMG, that's too funny!

I've been playing tricks on my teenage nephews all night. They have over active imaginations and have been all skittish. One even planned how to get into the roof when the zombies come, so I pretended to hear some noises outside and he was getting the ladder to get up there. Oh the fun less

It was actually supposed to be the rapture. Nostradamus apparently predicted it. I don't believe the earth will ever be over. The WORLD won't actually end, people just use that expression for God taking his people home. I won't make any for sure promises because as Matthew 24:42 says "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming." The bible also states that "He will come like a theif in the night." Meaning that most will not expect it. My point in the first bible verse is that I choose to be prepared so that it does not come as a surprise to me and I will be ready, my heart will be ready whenever it happens. That's not to say I'm not still making huge mistakes. But, the second verse I quoted because at this moment, people are really expecting it to happen so that would kind of (possibly?) cancel out the whole "like a theif in the night." Also, like I said earlier when talking with my family, the signs of the end times such as "The twin towers will fall," "The waters will roar" not all of those predictions have yet come to pass and it states, unless I'm mistaking, that those things listed will come to pass before the rapture. I don't know what will happen. Nobody does and noone can really say what will or will not happen, but we've had many of these "scares" and most were not accurate. I just am not going to let myself dwell on it. I know that when God does come to take his people home that I am going and I won't be left behind to endure those horrific things that will happen. I only worry for those who will be left behind. Well, those are my gatherings. I hope the rapture doesn't happen yet. I'm too young to die! Lol. I gotta lotta livin' to do! less

My life will end when it ends. If some group of people just happen to guess the right day, so be it. I could care less, I won't be here.

That being said, I am totally prepared for the Zombie apocalypse, I have lots of guns, cross bows and hunting equipment to keep us going for awhile. Plus I have the mighty Eleven that will surly take out its share of ghouls. less

From studying the Mayans and the Bible I tend to think the Mayans simply did not get to finish their calender. I get a newsletter from the main website of the Mayan Prophecy and can send it to you if you like. It is very interesting and some of it rings true. I'm not going to worry about it tho'

I'm no expert on the subject of 2012, nor the Bible, but the Bible does state that there will be world peace before the Rapture...and I don't see that coming anytime soon.
However, I am worried about Obamas announcement that he wants to take away land from Isreal so that they will only have 8 miles of land in which to defend themselves. Of course he is noted for not following thru on things[except padding already fat wallets] so that may change too. less

My dad and I pranked people in our house yesterday. We laid our clothes out like we'd been wearing them before we were raptured. We made them our profile picures on Facebook. XDD


Another funny prank someone on the radio was talking about was putting your shoes out with dry ice in them to make the shoes look like they were smoking. It would have looked like you'd been smited! I wish we would have done this, but we didn't have any dry ice. less

I got sick so I didn't have time or energy to make a rapture photo. But Chilipepper, yours is absolutely hilarious! I may still do my own later just because. I wouldn't want to miss out.

Hm, and the world certainly didn't end. The only thing that changed is that I have the sniffles today (which totally sucks anyway). But I wanna know is what that crazy guy who made the prediction did yesterday and if he's hiding in shame today. less
