Don't make any plans for 22nd May

It'll be God giving them a second chance for being so righteous as to warn people.

Or, they'll say their math was wrong or they misread the Bible...

This reminds me of...was it The Simpsons? Homer keeps believing the end of the world is coming?

Ah, but the world is coming to an end. Could be tomorrow. Could be May 21. Could be in another billion years. That's why the first rule of prophecy is no dates.

From what I've seen in the past, they'll claim a mistake and shift to a later date. Their movement will continue on for a while, but with no credibility.

::sigh:: Figures. May 22nd is my birthday.

Isn't that like next weekend?

it's gonna cost a fortune to have that van resprayed.

This is awesome news.

Hey, you've still got another 153 days of hell on earth to enjoy before it all goes *poof!* or you get to go to heaven on your birthday. Think of it as a special birthday firework display

They say that those who believe in Jesus will go to heaven and the rest will be left to endure 153 days of "death and horror" before the world ends on October 21.

Wait -- I thought we still had at least until December 31st 2011?? Great. Now I'll never get this second book finished. *hangs head*

Don't worry. According to the X Files, you've got until December next year.

Well, Mulder is claiming a mistranslation of the Mayan Calendar and the actual date is 10/28/11. Or is that Scully?

I'll be wearing a tinfoil hat. That'll keep me safe.

They've already done that once:
"Despite his conviction, Camping has predicted the world would end before - on September 4 1994. That, he says, was a mistake, a misreading of the biblical codes used to decipher the exact date of the 'rapture'."

in my lifetime doomsday has come and gone a few times already.

They say that those who believe in Jesus will go to heaven and the rest will be left to endure 153 days of "death and horror" before the world ends on October 21.

GASP! Well I never! 153 days of horror? Think of all the material and inspiration! Bring it, Jesus !!

Seun, but will the aliens come too? And will they ride the four horsies?

Avoiding taking the piss (at least for the next minute or two), I find this really interesting. If they do believe it as much as they appear to, what are they going to think when it doesn't happen?

Simply move the goalpost.

Will it be a zombie apocalypse?

Well, time to quit my job and get drunk out of my mind. Thanks for this.

Haha, I read about this a few days ago. It saddens me greatly that these people will just shrug it off on the 23rd. "Well, I guess we just miscalculated! the real date is ____!"

In the article I read, there was one guy among them who regretted not getting married before the end of the world. Poor guy. I hope he gets him some on the 23rd.
