A friend of mine said he wanted to hit garage sales and thrift stores and buy a whole truckload of cheap pairs of shoes, then fill them with dry ice and leave them all over town so it looked as if their occupants had just evaporated.

Your friend is a genius. Be extra nice to him, maybe buy him a cookie or something.

Exactly. That a**hole down in Kansas that shows up with his cult at soldiers' funerals annoys me a whole lot more.

WAAAAAY more. Sadly, he has the right to do so as well...

At least someone is making full use of their 1st amendment rights.

It's been nice knowin' y'all. My heathen self is sure to evaporate / implode / spontaneously combust the second the clock strikes midnight!

Great Idea....
For full effect he needs to get some secondhand clothes and don't forget underwear . Lay them next to the shoes

Oh man,
I have a neighbor who is really heavy into this stuff. He has a SWEET Porsche 911.
Tomorrow from about 3 pm on til Rapture time I am going to be on him like a tick on a hound dog.

So has anyone figured out if this is 6:00 Eastern, Central, or Western time? I want to make sure I'm rockin' my Lady Gaga shirt when this all goes down (or up, I should say).

I big caravan of cars covered with "RAPTURE MAY 21 2011" stickers and banners literally just rolled past my house like a minute ago!

Proving that IRONY is not just the opposite of WRINKLY.

Someone posited that since Camping is from California, it is most likely PST.

Hmm...so I'll probably be finishing up my gig when the rapture comes. I was hoping to be rockin' some Metallica right when it all happened.

 

[EBodious]

yup, officially that was my analysis. i wanna get credit if that is how it goes down!

does guessing the right time zone get me a free pass?

I'm still confused btw, this means we can make fun of religious beliefs that we find silly on TB now right? Because I've got a whole bunch of threads locked and loaded making fun of unsubstantiated religious stuff.

 

[EBodious]

end of the world or maybe just end of this thread, eh?

i think that, so far, most posters here have been able to distinguish between the christian religion and this one guy who happens to use the religion for his own purposes.

i do hope we can maintain that distinction.

Interesting article on how it's dividing families (would be sad to view your parent as a nut job)...

This has nothing to do with relegion, IMO. I dont think any religion predicts the end of the world coming this Saturday.

Exactly. I could claim that Harry Potter books contain a secret formula which gives the date of the end of the world. I could pick a book at random, pick passages at random and come up with a date and it'd be no different to what this guy is doing.

oh and just to make clear, harold camping is not officially affiliated with a religion. he is self-taught and his radio station is private and independent. he's just a motivated guy.

Does this mean that, come Sunday, only us heathens will be left on Earth?

Hmmm, my agnostic self, my fiancee's atheistic self, and a bunch of sinners? Sounds like a freakin blast if you ask me!

edit: Imagine the trip, though, if we were to wake up Sunday and a grip of people were gone?!

Can't help but wonder how many people are hiding under thier beds right now. Reminds me of the whole Y2K thing. There was a guy at work back then who fanatically believed that everything was going to come crashing down and overnight, life would be as it was in the dark ages. As that day approached he got worse in his behavior. One day he was really freaking out about it and in a very clam voice I said "John, nothing is going to happen." His head shot up, his eyes bulged out and at the top of his lungs he screamed at me. "HOW DO YOU KNOW? WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE? WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE?"

By the look on his face I thought he was going to start crying. I just shook my head and walked away.
