Imagine the guy/girl who was admitted last. What if, back on Earth, there are some children who are leading such a blameless life that serial no. 142,997 thru 144,000 inclusive might get bumped. The guy at Indy who qualifys 33rd is said to be "on the bubble." Someone who goes faster before qual day ends will push him out of the Show. What if you're talking about your immortal soul?
The camp guards at Dachau preferred JHs. These poor souls never gave any trouble, and considered beatings a test of faith. I can see why dems would like them, and refuse to label them a cult.
Actually, this proves they believed their own prediction and
simply didn’t renew their contract with their ISP beyond 5/20 .

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
Oops. False alarm, it was just the Rapture Orientation Meeting. Can’t say much: we had to sign an NDA.
bttt
Theirs is a .org domain - I got on once earlier but could not navigate past the home page. That one you found is pretty funny.
Frequency - as in “What’s the frequency. Kenneth?”
Breast pump - I will leave that one alone
Interesting, I am not sure I can judge Camping though. My experience with him is very minimal just a little bit on line.
I loathe meetings.
More fun to hang out in Freeperland anyways.
How very tolerant. All the ridicule he has brought on the faith - that's OK with you? I can't judge his heart (like some on these threads do). I can judge (evaluate and discern) his words and their fruits. That is why we have brains.
For the first time in about 15 years a jehovah witness came to my door about a month ago. I wasn’t home they left the pamphlet. So we have about 15 years before they will knock on our doors again with the new false date or whatever.
Very little makes sense of most reporting in ALL media today. It has been thus for decades.
The standard practice of mixing opinion with selected facts makes "news" all but useless. There is no better technique than omitting crucial facts to make the fiction seem useful. Some of the hacks are just better at the fiction than others.
The best example of this is the way islam is treated, with a correponding attempt to ridicule Christianity as 'proof' of universal religious perversions. It is no accident that the rise of homosexuality in the late 70s coincides with the relentless attack on all religions --- except the mass Murdering Muslims.
Sounds like you’re almost desperate enough to take ANY date.
Remember love is blind.
You just have to get back on that horse.
Ride the pony.
This wasn't like Y2K in many respects.
Y2K could have been a very bad situation. Had it not been for the huge effort by a multitude of programmers to correct code that clearly would have failed, Y2K would have been very bad indeed.
The extreme over-hyping of both events is the biggest, and arguably the only real, similarity between them.
Now don't you be bashing those "other Doomsday kooks". Don't you know you'd be dissing a lot of the very gurus looked up to by many on this very board?
Did I hear right, that some of them had their pets put to sleep?
The damage this Nut does to the message Christians are trying to get out to the unsaved is unmanageable. Using phrases like “The Bible Guarantees It”, only makes it harder for our missionaries and evangelist to discuss the Gospel with those who don’t know the Bible, particularly in foreign lands where much of his advertising was done.
And when discussing prophecy and end-time events with others we will be forever doing damage control, when they come back with “wasn’t that supposed to happen back in May of 2011?”
This is why Jesus gave a special warning in Mathew 24:11 “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”
Definitely reminds me of another deluded nut job...
...in the White House.
Ummmmm....
You still appear to be here.
Just sayin'
Camping thought he would make enough money to be financially solvent for good off the 1994 hoax. The recent market downturn and recession hurt his finances enough to require a redo.
He’s 89, so he should be financially set now.

God in His mercy has given another tremendous proof. It is as follows:
We have learned that the precise date of the cross was April 1, 33 A.D. when coordinated with our present modern calendar. April 1, 33 A.D. is the only date that meets all the requirements of the Bible, such as being a Friday that falls on the correct date for the Passover, which was the date Christ was to be crucified.
We also have known for some time that the date of the first day of the Day of Judgment coincides with the day when the Rapture will take place, on May 21, 2011. But then it was discovered that there are exactly 722,500 days from April 1, 33 A.D. until May 21, 2011. This fact gives us another infallible, absolute proof that May 21, 2011 is the date of the Rapture.
Because of the importance and wonder of this proof we will take time to develop it. First we must learn that we can develop with perfect precision the number of days from one date to another. To obtain the precise number of days from a moment in one year to the same moment in any other year we must realize that astronomers have long ago discovered that there are 365.2422 days in a complete year. That is why in our modern calendar there are 365 days in each of three consecutive years. However, every fourth year has 366 days. This is done by adding an extra day in February of that year. Thus the average year for the four years becomes 365.25 days. But .25 is greater than .2422, so every 128 years a day is dropped from the calendar to maintain accuracy.
Thus all we have to do is multiply the number of years separating two events by the number 365.2422 to know the exact number of days between them. So from April 1, 33 A.D. to April 1, 2011 there are exactly 2011 – 33 = 1,978 years, each having 365.2422 days. This equals 722,449.07 days. From April 1, 2011 to May 21, 2011 inclusively (including the first day and the last day) are 51 days. Adding these 51 days to the number 722,449.07 gives us exactly 722,500.07 days, from April 1, 33 A.D. to May 21, 2011 inclusively. This number is enormously significant. Presently we will see why this is so.
