The Rapture madness is reaching fever pitch, peeps, and CNN interviewed the Master of Disaster, 89-year-old Harold Camping of Family Radio. You can’t make this sh*t up:
Based on your study of the Bible, you have determined that May 21, 2011 is Judgment Day-that God will completely destroy the Earth. What do you predict will happen as clocks turn to 6 pm?We cannot say emphatically that it’s 6 pm. There’s a lot of information that looks at the probability of 6 pm in any city in the world-when that great earthquake will occur. It could be that it might be just one great earthquake, but there is enough evidence in the Bible that says it will begin at one point in the world, and it could be at 6 pm-that’s a great possibility. Then as it gets to be May 21 in any other country-there will be a great earthquake there.
But we know absolutely, without any shadow of a doubt, that May 21 will be the day.
How are you feeling right now?
Well, I am trembling. I have never been at this place before. When we are only a few days away from the last thing that has to happen-the whole world destroyed by God-I have never been here before. Where can you get direction so you know how to feel?
So earthquakes could occur around the world for 24 hours?
By the end of 24 hours, the whole world will have been destroyed.
The purpose of the earthquake is three-fold: it will be enormously destructive as God is destroying the earth. Secondly, the people who died as true believers, they will come out of their tombs with their glorified spiritual bodies and will be caught up to be with Christ.
And the rest of the world’s population becomes unconscious?
All of the remains of carcasses-the bones-will be thrown out of the grave and the way the Bible describes it, be like dung or manure-because they will be shamed in the eyes of God as a final of consequence of the wrath of God.

Rapture 2011:Because floods are so yesterday
A classy sign off song for the Rapturees
I’m so glad we had this time together,
Just to have a laugh, or sing a song.
Seems we just get started and before you Know it
Comes the time we have to say, “So long”.
There’s a time you put aside for dreamin.
And a time for things you have to do.
The time I love the best is any evening
I can spend a moment here with you.
When the time comes and I’m feelin’ lonely
And I’m feelin’ oh so blue.
I just sit back and think of you only
And the happiness still comes through.
That’s why I’m glad we had this time together.
Cause it makes me feel like I’m along.
Seems we just get started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say, “So Long”.
I wish it were truebut come tomorrow, the sad truth is that we will still be stuck with these religious right-wing nut cases.
“Harold Camping prepares for The Big One”Preparing for ‘The Big One’?
That’s been done…
most every week on Sanford & Son back in the 1970s.
Lawsuit?I wonder if any of the “rapturees” will attempt to sue Camping starting May 23
time updateIt is now 6 pm Saturday May 21 in Kiribati (12 midnite Friday in the eastern US)
Looks like they’ve unplugged the website
Either that, or the site is overwhelmed with people wanting to set up a recurring donation before The End.
(partially) still upwecanknow.com is still up ( @ 1203 am est), but i didn’t check any of the links from that page
Oops, I spoke too soonThe website is still live.
It *is* the apocalypse.I’m seeing a Werner Herzog movie tomorrow…and it’s in 3-D. If WH making a 3-D movie isn’t a sign that the world is ending, I don’t know what is.
Oh, Harry…The problem with predicting the end of the world on a rolling time schedule that starts three hours behind your time and between 3-7 hours behind the time of the people you’re most trying to target, is that it gives them the longest possible amount of time to mock you before the “apocalypse” fails to hit them.
Kumbaya my Lord…Kumbaya
Because everything’s better with TARDISes…Until I discover otherwise, I will assume that a man in a bow tie, traveling around in a blue box stopped the end of the world from happening. As usual.
uh ohjust read a tweet that it will have to have been 6 pm in EVERY time zone before all this happens…which means we’ll still be dealing with this for another 23 hours and 20 minutes
“it will have to have been 6 pm in EVERY time zone before all this happens”What book of the christianist bible spells out that there even are such things as time zones, much less that the ‘guarantee’ of the rapture is dependent on 24 different (do the 0:30 time zones count? if so, its more than 24) imaginary-line increments? If the UN General Assembly got together and declared the worldwide time to be 11:59PM, May 20th, permanently, would that forestall the rapture?
Every time…… I hear one of these fundies talk about all the horrible things us non-believers will suffer once they’ve been Raptured I can’t help but flash back to Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens where Aziraphale possesses a televangelist and asks his entire flock whether they really think that gloating while watching most of humanity take multiple kicks on the chin is their idea of a morally acceptable time…
I’m now confusedI thought 5/21 was the Rapture, and the world ends in 5 months in October. He’s saying we are facing judgment day and the world is ending. Upside is, I don’t need to worry about fixing my well pump or getting the car inspected. Downside, I apparently missed seeing naked people being drawn up to heaven last January. Of course, I live in the Bible Belt, so there probably were very few raptured around here. ;-P Or since there were not any reports of it, the only folks taken were a few individuals. Darn. Kinda sucks for those folks that paid for after rapture care for their pets if the world is getting destroyed.
oh my
I just took a 12 hour decongestant!But it’s less than 12 hours until the rapture. I should have stuck with the 4 hour tablets today……..
The mad man with a box strikes againI second that assumption.
He’s lateJust like a man to stand you up. It’s 10:27pm local here in Canberra, and He hasn’t shown up.
All men are bastards.
Oh, but you have, Harry!
Back in 1994. Why does God keep leaving you behind, Harry?
Website definitely goneAt least I can’t get it to load from my computer. And their website doesn’t even come up in a google search anymore, so I’m pretty sure it’s gone. What do you want to bet that he and a few of his “closest followers” have been “raptured” (read “taken off and gone into hiding) along with the what I’m presuming to be the huge chunk of change they’ve bilked out of the people they convinced this was real.
And when I say “definitely” I mean it’s still thereWeird. Just did it again, and got this website: http://www.ebiblefellowship.co…
So now I don’t know. Maybe they’re still around, wondering why they’re still around…
darnReally spoke too soon. This site is still up and working too
http://www.ebiblefellowship.co…
No updates as of yet why the first…what? 9? Sequential earthquakes misfired.
Well …..at least I won’t have to worry about paying bills for my hip surgery nor going back to work.
I just hope today’s Mets/Yankees game is over by the time the Rapture hits.
Peace my brothers and sisters and see you on the other side later today.
Or tomorrow same bat time same bat station.
Is Australia still here?It’s after 6 PM in many parts of the world right now. Is Zoe Brain still here? Also, this guy did precise calculations on when the date was for this. Did he factor in the change over for the Gregorian calender? His calculations could be off by 22 days.
The Rapture will comeIf the Mets actually win o_O
Does This Mean?Does this mean I get to have another Post Rapture Party in 22 days? Woot!
Can we please not encourage them?Please?
ThirdedBecause the Doctor is awesome that way.
The angels have the phonebox
Based on MY study of the Bible,I believe that people can walk on water, that the earth has four corners, virgins can give birth, the sun can stand still, and snakes, asses and bushes can talk. It’s all absolutely true and scientifically indisputable. What better authority for truth could there possibly be than the Bible?
It’s either the rapture or SPAM all the way down!Happy Saturday!
tip for the blogmistress re: Journey on DIMEoh, good, an open thread–was hoping there’d be somewhere to post this special treat for the blogmistress:
