May 21, 2011

OK guys, so most of you must be aware at this point that there's an evil cult out there saying the end of the world is coming tomorrow. I feel so sad when I see stories like this where the parents are just f*cking around with their children's psyche. I think they need major counseling for bringing so much mental damage to these poor kids: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43106614/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times/?GT1=43001

These folks more like publicity whores then people who are really concerned for the end of the world, in other words they are a pair of dumbasses

Good grief. What kind of "parents" are these?

If nothing else, maybe her parents being whisked up into the celestial UFO (or whatever Harold Camping and his Kool-Aid Kids are advertising) would be the best thing for her because then Social Services can place her with a family who aren't completely out of their minds.

Why isn't the kid getting into heaven? I didn't see anything in that article that would preclude her.

And in a corollary story:

Because the young'ins didn't drink the Kool-Aid, they don't belieeeeeeeeve!!!

These wack-a-doo's bought a whole lot of advertising in my company's newspapers over the last couple of months. (Hey, their money's green, they paid up front, we're not picky.) Then a week or so ago they called their sales rep to tell her goodbye and good luck, because they won't be advertising anymore since "the time is near." Uhhhh.... yeah, OK.

I almost want to call the phone # in their ads on the 22nd just to see if anybody picks up. If they do I'm gonna go "HEY! Why are you still here?"

FF, that's exactly what I was thinking after I read that. How messed up can you be to play stupid head games like this with the very children you gave birth too?

You know, this Camping character and his evil organization has something like $100 million dollars in the bank, why aren't they just giving it away if they don't expect to be here tomorrow? That man has destroyed the lives of so many people who have quit their jobs and left their families for his hoax. Sick man, just sick.

Not to mention that old Weird Harold predicted the world was going to end back in 1994 too, then went "oops, sorry, we must've made a mistake in the math" when nothing happened. Apparently his followers have short memories.

The late news last night showed a group of these doomsayers in the middle of Times Square in NYC, passing out tracts and preaching "the end." Most passers-by were going about 20 steps out of their way just to avoid talking to them.

Wait a minute? FF are you saying these wack jobs are serious??????????????????? No way, nobody is that stupid!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, unfortunately they're as serious as a heart attack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_end_times_prediction

Old Weird Harold has had an armada of folks in RV's criss crossing the world preaching this thing for quite a while now. The first time I heard of it was when I passed one of 'em on the New York Thruway almost two years ago. I thought it was just some random weirdo then, but over the past few months it's become big news. There seems to be a big pocket of these folks in Northern NJ. They've been buying up billboard space alongside the highways and everything.

Some highlights from an article in today's newspaper about Harold and his Kool Aid Kids...

"Harold Camping predicts that 'Saturday will start like any other day. There's no reason to behave or act differently.'

New Zealanders will be the first to know, Camping said. At 6 PM their time - 2 AM eastern time - a great earthquake will shake the island, triggering an apocalypse that will roll relentlessly our way. It will reach San Francisco around 6 PM Eastern time. Saved Christian souls will ascend to Heaven, all others will remain as the Earth falls into fiery chaos."

...man, he really put a lot of thought into this didn't he?

"Camping lives with his wife and says only one of his eight adult children shares his conviction. Few of his grandchildren have contact with him."

... gee, I wonder why?

"Paster Dave Nederhood, who knew Camping before the minister split from his church 20 years ago, said a cult of personality surrounds Camping and makes him 'every bit as dangerous as a Jim Jones or Heaven's Gate situation.'

Nederhood says Camping encouraged his followers to isolate themselves -- 'to stay at home and listen to Family Radio all day' - and of the few he's met, he's picked up on some 'serious psychological damage'. 'I really feel a sense of sadness and apprehension for people who've taken a bite on this hook,' he said."

Monsters like this man are egotistical and controlling blood and soul suckers who unfortunately will be around for as long as humans exist on earth and drink of their kool-aid. Thanks for bringing these quotes up.

These people are - I remember back in 1988 there was a booklet called "88 reasons the rapture will happen in 88". Some people sold their houses, gave away money and waited on mountain tops for "the rapture" Even TBN (I am not a fan of these folks!) had special programming on how to prepare for the rapture!

Amazing, how do these morons get anyone to follow them is beyond me!!!! I thought this was a prank or a joke not a real movement

The saddest thing about all of this is that my birthday is on the 22nd so if these geeks are onto something, then I don't get to turn 41. Sigh.

...plus I'm waiting for some CDs to arrive in the mail, hopefully they'll be there today so I have time to listen to them all before THE END!!!

I find it hard to believe that a group of people actually believe that on May 21, 2011 the Rapture is going to happen, where did pick this date from? Out of their collective asses, doubt God choose this turd to be his appointed messanger.

So he is a wack job and publicity smurf-for-hire, talk about a double whammy.

The past couple of weeks I've been noticing quite a few billboards that say something like "May 21: Judgement Day"

Pretty funny that people fall for that stuff

Hey, when you have $100 million dollars in the bank and call yourself a "church", just buy up some billboard space and advertise that the end is nigh. Why waste it on needy people around the world that may actually need it to live?

I've seen at least 3 or 4 of those billboards around my area.

There's one of those billboards here in my area in Missouri, kinda surprised no one's used it for target practice yet. Never too early to get ready for deer season!

There have always been those weirdos on the corner with the "end is coming" posters...

This cult leader is taking it to another level with his doomsday campaign that will cause mockery and turn a lot of people even more off to believing that the real thing will ever happen. The stupid old fart is helping the wrong team...

First of all, the bible clearly says that no one can know the day when Christ returns. And the fact that this turd has been wrong before... (back in 1994) There is no credibility to his claims and the method he came to his conclusion.

Just another Jim Jones / David Koresh / Heaven's Gate whacko!

But, what if it's true....

Guys, it's OK. When I got home today my wife told me some Jehovah's Witnesses stopped by this afternoon, and they told her "there's nothing to worry about" because "no man can know the actual time of the Rapture."

How many dates has that cult set? I guess they must not know their own stupid history. Mainly because they know no history.

I just thought it was funny that they happened to stop by today. I guess the JW's must be working overtime this week, doing damage control.

I'm almost sorry I was at work and I missed'em. I'm sure I could've come up with some good questions to mess with'em.

Camping lives 15 minutes from me. Same suburb as my grandmother. His radio station is based out of Oakland. So the billboards and his fellow whack jobs are all over the place here. I totally screwed up, I paid all my bills and I am going to work tomorrow. I should be going to Vegas!
