If there had been time, Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than six months left, which she'll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here.
Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin on May 21, 2011.
To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling in countries from Latin America to Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.
"A lot of people might think, 'The end's coming, let's go party,'" said Exley, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq. "But we're commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it's so much better to know that when the end comes, you'll be safe."
In August, Exley left her home in Colorado Springs, Colo., to work with Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio Worldwide, the independent Christian ministry whose leader, Harold Camping, has calculated the May 21 date based on his reading of the Bible.
She is organizing traveling columns of RVs carrying the message from city to city, a logistics challenge that her military experience has helped solve. The vehicles are scheduled to be in five North Carolina cities between now and the second week of January, but Exley will shortly be gone: overseas, where she hopes to eventually make it back to Iraq.
"I don't really have plans to come back," she said. "Time is short."

She can get pregnant on May 22nd.
Oh, very clever: predict the beginning of the end of the world, rather than the (end of the) end of the world so no one can call you out on having gotten it wrong.
At some level the beginning of the end of the world was the Day of Pentecost in the year of Our Lord’s Passion, Saving Death, Glorious Resurrection and Ascension, and we’ve been living through the end of the world ever since.

Now I can add Camping’s prophecies to this list!
Are you speaking of the pre-trib rapture doctrine of Darby and Scofield based on the radical Israel/Church distinction?
A perversion of the doctrine of Christ's Second Coming and the unity of the covenant people of God.
"I'm convinced that the Lord is coming for His Church before the end of 1981." (Chuck Smith, Future Survival)And Hal Lindsey
"Since a generation of judgment is forty years and the Tribulation period lasts seven years, I believe the Lord could come back for His Church any time before the Tribulation starts, which would mean any time before 1981. (1948 + 40 - 7 = 1981)." (Hal Lindsey, The Late Great Planet Earth)
OHH I must add them to my list of failed end time prophecies!

I guess it would be easy to call Marie Exley a fool, and laugh at her "the end's coming" concerns.
However, from the information provided, Marie has deployed twice to Iraq (it sounds like she loves her country), and wants people to "be safe" versus "go party" because she believe the end is near (it sounds like she loves her fellow man and seeks to point them to salvation).
Unless additional information is forthcoming indicating that she is doing these things for fame and/or fortune, I will cut her a lot of slack.
On May 21, 2011 Marie will clearly have to recognize that she has followed the teachings of someone who spreads a false Gospel.
Perhaps the Lord is leading Marie on a path which will result in her growth as a Christian, and a subsequent testimony that she will provide to others who might be tempted to fall for such a false Gospel.
I pray for Marie, and hope that after May 21, 2001 her fervor will be redirected into serving the Lord in accordance with the true Gospel.
Please pray for her.
Isn’t Pentecost on June 12th this year. So Camping’s calculation for this is somewhat wrong.

Hey guys check out this article from the cogwriter’s article on Harold Camping it pretty much denounces his claims.
www.cogwriter.com/harold-camping-may-21-2011.htm
Camping may want to recalculate his prediction because apparently according to the Holy Day Calendar a couple of his time frames are off.
Passover is April 18th and not April 1st
Pentecost is June 12th and not May 21st
Couldn’t these date setting people be considerd scoffers because the clearly don’t believe that Jesus wrote the unfufilled prophecies for no reason.
Yes Allison don’t believe you or Camping but the bible that we are butchering that would completely discredit us lol They are going to look stupid on May 21st when Jesus doesn’t secretly rapture them.
