Apocalypse believers await end, skeptics carry on (I'm not dead yet)

OAKLAND, Calif. — They spent months warning the world of the apocalypse, some giving away earthly belongings or draining their savings accounts. And so they waited, vigilantly, on Saturday for the appointed hour to arrive.

When 6 p.m. came and went at various spots around the globe, and no extraordinary cataclysm occurred, Keith Bauer — who hopped in his minivan in Maryland and drove his family 3,000 miles to California for the Rapture — took it in stride. [snip]

Funny Craigslist Post.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/wan/2394515709.html

We are looking for a soon-to-be- raptured individual or
group of individuals who are looking to get rid of their
earthly belongings before they are lifted into heaven and
saved. We, being sinners, will be left behind to face our
judgement. While we are waiting, however, we would like
to enjoy all the earthly comforts available. Therefore,
we are looking for a limo, hot tub, giant mansion on the
beach, a few tickets to fly our family around the world
and an unlimited supply of jelly beans. Any volunteers
that will be leaving this realm tomorrow can respond to
this email with the list of items they are willing to
donate. Thank you and have a nice trip.

put up apocalypse-themed billboards in Israel, Jordan and Lebanon,

I had no idea it was world wide. Thought his radio station was for USA only.

The Rapture happened years ago. We were not selected. We did not qualify. We're stuck here for part two.

Losers.

from http://www.airchecked.com

>>>May 21, 2011 at 6:00pm was the time that Family Radio’s Harold Camping insisted that Jesus would return bringing upon the end of civilization. However, one of his own radio stations, 94.7 WFME Newark, NJ/New York City didn’t seem to buy in. Here the station just slides from its legal ID and time announcement into a happy pre-recorded show about heart health. (clip on site)

Well, Mr Camping was wrong before too. Sooooooo, guess he might be after the cash or something. Huh! Any one seen him lately?

Re #5 — exactly. The Lord Christ Himself does not know the hour. Why do people so like to predict it? Will they get an extra bedroom in their golden mansion if they guess the right day?

Wasn't the rapture supposed to happen everywhere? By driving 3 time zones west it looks like he was just trying to delay it 3 hours.

This bunch is similar to the CT crew. Reality doesn’t faze them.
