LAST TIME

Just one last post on the whole Rapture (end of the world) thing.  I have been enjoying some of the photos I've seen floating around the internet after the prophecy fail.

Original billboard.

One that went up the next day,

Recycling a poster.

 

Even Fox News got in on the fun.

This should read 9:30 in Newfoundland.  Get your time zones right lady.

If I had been smart, I would have made this t-shirt to wear on Sunday.

I am done now with poking a bit of fun at the gentleman who wrongfully predicted the end of the world. I am sure he is a really nice man and I know he truly believed that he was doing us good by warning us of our impending doom.  He and his followers spent a lot of money to do just that.

The world didn't end as predicted but it certainly wouldn't hurt to be a little kinder to those we come in contact with and do what we can to make this world a better place.  

I was going to say that I would start by no longer mocking others but who am I kidding.  Look what I just wrote.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

I had it wrong yesterday.  According to the eBible Fellowship the actual end of the world will occur on October 21st.  I copied this time line from their website:

2011 AD—On May 21^st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21^st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation).


So really, today (May 21st) was for the elect to be taken up to heaven.  In case you are wondering, I am writing this from home and not from cloud number nine or any other cloud for that matter.  I am sure you must be pretty worried because if I am still here (I am near to elect, well in my mind anyway) then your chances may be slim to none.  I guess when it comes down to it, if you are here, you were just not good enough.  I take comfort in the fact that it's all a load of bunk anyway.


Well, I'm off to go find Ian, I haven't seen him all day.  Ian?.... Ian?.... IAN???

APOCALYPSE.... TOMORROW

Apparently the world is supposed to end tomorrow (May 21st, 2011) at 6:00 PM.  I don't know where the 6:00 PM thing came from (actually I don't know where the May 21st came from either for that matter). My question is this, is that Greenwich Mean Time or is it EST or MST?  What about New Zealand and Australia? They are almost a whole day ahead of us.  Does the world end on the 22nd for them?  Anyway, I'd kind of like to know so I can make plans for my day. Why bother taking meat out of the freezer to thaw when I won't even be using it.  Yeah, I don't have to make dinner!  Do I really believe the world will end tomorrow? No, not at all, but today I ate my favourite potato chips and enjoyed my favourite chocolate bar and I am about to go have a bowl of my favourite ice cream completely guilt free. I suggest you do the same.  Eat whatever you want, neglect your bills, your taxes, heck don't even bother showing up to work on the 21st. You may as well enjoy what could be your last day on earth.  I'd write more but I don't want my ice cream to melt.
