Some Grey Bloke gives some helpful tips for those being raptured tomorrow

He's got a good point about the time zone issue. 

"I understand that you're excited about going to heaven, but you shouldn't be making things difficult for those let behind. They already have the tribulation to deal with. They don't need to go out to your house carrying the Sunday supplements as well." lol!

    "any murder may revoke your eligibility" :)

    I saw a tweet going round suggesting a prank for tomorrow: "take some of your unwanted clothes and shoes and leave sets of them arranged on sidewalks and lawns around town."

  5. Some ... unsaved friends ... suggested getting some "blow-up sex dolls", fill them with helium, and then ... let 'em go at 6:01pm.
    Bonus points if yer around Family Radio headquarters at the time.

  6. lol

    so, it's way past 6pm here, I guess either it's been postponed or it's due at 6pm at whatever time zone that guy is, or I've been left behind.

  9. It's 3pm Pacific now, plus a few minutes.
    But it really doesn't matter.
    They've made a number of errors, I gather, but chief among them is trying to find the number of years that represent a Generation.

    A Generation is a group of people, not a time period.

    And so the guy is totally out to lunch, which should surprise no-one.
    I wonder if he'll retire now?
    Or pass away at the stroke of 6pm?

    I think I shall go for a drive....

  11. I was half-way to, "Long Beach, WA... the Longest Beach in the World!" when the moment came, and ... still here. Seriously, though, I really need to start out on such spur of the moment trips a tad earlier. Got back as 12:15am, and was TIRED. But it was a very interesting drive. Seems most of the state is wilderness or near so.

    This whole episode is so embarrassing to the church, though. Stories in the news about how, "Rapture Believers" have been disgraced.

    I believe in the Rapture.
    I'm not ashamed of that belief.
    I was certain that it would NOT be yesterday.

    But we're all lumped in together by, "The World".
    Mr. Camping has done us all a huge dis-service.
    2 Samuel 12:14
    Or something.

  12. *sigh* not sure how but I came across this guy on Twitter. Unsurprisingly he's been receiving quite a lot of negative tweets today. He keeps telling people to apologise and saying it's not funny when they joke about it. Poor dude. He doesn't seem to have learned anything...

  13. I doubt that's really Harold's account. From what the paper said it sounds like he was pretty shaken up by it not happening. He's pretty much dedicated his past two years to this, hasn't he? It's a testament to the fact that we can rely quite heavily upon our own selves while all the while thinking we're relying upon God.

  14. oh. ok, I hadn't read about it anywhere else, so maybe this is just someone spoofing him :( in any case, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now. for his sake I hope he does learn something from what happened.
