Judgment Day is coming

[Sir Stinkalot]

I have just seen on the news that Judgment Day is coming .....

From The Age online ....

Tomorrow will be cool and windy, with a chance of total apocalypse.

One of the buses used by the cult claims that "Jesus is Coming" and it reminded me of this ......

How do these latter day prophets explain the failures of their prophecies?:?:?

..Well the deadline for the apocolypse has passed and nothing hap

No that was the old apocalypse ..... the new one is tomorrow.
The guy behind tomorrow predicted the same thing 10 or so years ago ..... surprise nothing happened. They have managed to rake up millions of dollars worth of donations!

Whilst the apocalypse may be 21st May 2011 luckily thanks to my recent move to Adelaide our clocks are still in 1960 so we have a few good years left even if the worst happens tomorrow.

I've seen a similar image to the one in the first post - but the tagline was '..get a kleenex'....

At least we will never have to put up with them saying "I told you so" even if they do ever get it right.

:doh::D

Well so far no apocalypse here in Tassie but then we are 20 yrs behind the North island.......:doh:

And we like it that way! :2tsup:

[Sir Stinkalot]

So far so good in SA. The alarm did go off at 6:30am on a Saturday so that was a mini apocalypse. All eyes on NZ as I hear that it will not be instantaneous across the world but will roll around with the time zones.

Well..that was a very disapointing rapture

It's all quite simple if you have faith. You make mistakes in the calculations - yoiu can get away with that a few times. Then again you can argue that something did happen but it happened somewhere else.
If all else fails, have a schism, change the name and become a mainstream church. After all the only difference I can see between a cult and a religion is the tax status.
Cheers and blessings,
Jim

ps. forgot to mention that it did happen but we are all too unenlightened to notice:D

[Cliff Rogers]

I must have missed it. :?

Does anyone remember the D-Generation spoof (in the era where EVERY film had a sequel)?

Jesus II - he's back, and he's not very happy.

Couldn't find it on youtube, but I did find this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC4frcXimz4) corker.

Saw them do Thunderbirds live at the last laugh in Smith Street Collingwood. The 80s some time I think it was. Everyone there was wetting themselves. :roflma:

Sorry folks, if you are reading this then u backed the wrong dog err god & you're going to hell along with the rest of us. lol :2tsup:

[The Bleeder]

Come and gone and we got a reprive. Apparently we have to many idiots, dogooders, wankers, religious zelots and the like.

Have to reduce numbers to get judged again as with all of the above we will eventually anhilated oursevles anyway.

Remember all the panic at the end of the 20th century. The thing that sticks in my mind was an interview with an official in Rome. Why worry, he said? We've been through it twice already without any ill-effects.
Cheers,

Good news ...... its still on ...... Judgment Day will actually come on October 21. I think there was some sort of miscalculation as Queensland doesn't have daylight savings ..... or something to that effect.

I see it's not improving your mental state Ratty.

I don't think it's common knowledge as to why there was all the fuss at the end of the 20th C. It was all about a test date that we COBOL programmers were using in the 70's and 80's. See, we weren't supposed to be using COBOL by the time the 9th of September 1999 came around, so we (worldwide) used a test date of 9/9/99 - yeah I know, it's not the end of the year) and there was some kafuffle that all the programs were going to crash as a result of exceeding this date. Apparently no one spotted the fact that the crash (if it was ever going to happen) was going to be on September 10th, not NYE.

Anyway that's about as close as I can get. Certainly COBOL programmers were in ridiculous demand at the time, and then completely unemployed (and unemployable) on New Years Day (I'd already abandoned ship in '85).

It must be frustrating work being a supreme being - wanting to bring it all to an end and those ungrateful humans keep changing the calendar.
