End of world prediction: No need for plans after Oct. 21

RALEIGH, N.C. — From her Subaru, a car painted as white as the fourth horse of Revelation, Allison Warden proclaims that Jesus Christ shall return May 21.

As in 151 days from now.

By her reckoning, the Lord's return will fall on a springtime Saturday. And if the world weren't ending, you might find people celebrating other notable highlights of the day: Mr. T's birthday, Montenegro's independence or the Red Sox-White Sox game.

But to Warden and hundreds of like-minded Christians, Judgment Day can be calculated precisely by tracing biblical genealogy, or by following history forward 7,000 years from the day Noah shut the door to his ark.

So if May 22 rolls around and you're still here, wailing and gnashing your teeth, don't say nobody warned you.

1. What a waste of a perfectly good 29-year-old.

:eyes:

[demodonkey]

21. What a waste of a perfectly good Subaru!

Mine is a '95 with way over 200,000 miles... and it won't back up anymore which means I need a new, safe car soon and NO prospects of affording one any way any how for the foreseeable future. Especially since where I live (family farm with a long lane that is treacherous in snow or ice) I need something with 4WD or AWD.

BTW, my Subaru's 'wrap' consists of a bunch of pro-voting, pro-voter-verified paper ballots, pro-single-payer bumper stickers.

2. It's amazing how these people who claim God is a great unknowable mystery...

...seem to know an awful lot about what he's thinking.

:eyes:

NGU.

[snappyturtle]

3. It's no wonder the country is in trouble. nt

edit: I went to www.wecanknow.com and here's a link to Allison's photo gallery. Unfortunately, there are more people who believe as she does.

4. Apocolyptic fundies could very easily be the proof against evolution they've been flooking for. n/t

[racaulk]

5. I would love to see this idiot on May 22.

Just so I can laugh in her face.

:rofl:

[kctim]

6. Greeeeaaaaat!

Not only do we have to listen to the Mayans and global warming alarmists, but now a God too.
We...Are...DOOMED!:scared:

[kentuck]

7. I hope he's only coming to visit?

And it's not the end of the world? :-)

[rusty fender]

8. Why does the OP title read "Oct. 21" while her car

has May 21?:shrug:

[Burma Jones]

9. May 21 is the rapture, October 21 is the big fireball

I suppose you have the months in between to clean up your act.

[piratefish08]

15. really? you mean I get 5 MONTHS on the planet without the douchey religious nuts?

I'll take that deal.

[stuntcat]

17. :p

:headbang:

[OneGrassRoot]

24. Sweet!!! :) n/t

10. Looser that predicted this date has been WRONG before

In his book, 1994?, Camping stated the end of the world may occur somewhere between September 15-17 (p. 531). He does not know the exact day because Scripture says "no man knows the day nor the hour" (Matt. 24:36). But according to Camping we can certainly know the month and the year that Christ will return. Source: Stephen C. Meyers, 1994? A Summary Critiqueoffsite, Christian Research Journal, Winter 1994.

Camping actually set many dates for the rapture, including:
• September 15, 1994, the Jewish Day of Atonement
• September 25, 1994, the Jewish feast of tabernacles
• October 4, 1994, the anniversary of Jesus' actual birthday as calculated by Camping
• December 25, 1994, based on Camping's explanation of Revelation 11:10offsite (people sending each other gifts)
• February 25, 1995, the Jewish feast of Purim
• May 3, 1996 Camping explained how the "four watches" alluded to in Mark 13:35offsite extended the September 6, 1994 date until then

For a while Camping also taught that September 6, 1994 was the right date after all -- but for the beginning of the Great Tribulation, not Judgment Day. But in line with Camping's theology that would mean the return of the Lord would take place no later than 2008.

11. I wonder how he will judge the deadly sin of Pride

and just WTF is she wearing on her forearms? Some weird type of fingerless glove ?!?

[krispos42]

31. Probably the gloves with the mitten flap on them

I have a pair... fingerless gloves with a mitten cover that you can velcro back to work stuff or flip forward to keep your hand warm.


Much better choice than the paint job she's ruining a perfectly good Subaru with.

[Motown_Johnny]

32. I guess

I own a couple pairs of them too. Much less fashionable than the ones she has.

[krispos42]

34. Mine sport oil stains

I change my own oil, and in the wintertime... well, you do it very quickly.

[elocs]

12. The fools don't even know their own scriptures, that nobody knows the date but God. n/t

[stuntcat]

13. well I'm already wailing and gnashing my teeth

about how shamefully lost the monkeys are, selfish and stuck in the past, it's disgraceful.

I'm putting this in my calender, honestly hoping something smites the f*ck out of humanity that day.

[jwirr]

14. Can I have her car on May 22. She won't need it anymore.

[Motown_Johnny]

27. you want to be seen driving that thing?

[JoePhilly]

37. My first thought as well ... I'm surprised the reporter didn't ask her that question.

I would have.

[deutsey]

16. How does she explain that Jesus is quoted in Matthew, I think, that even he doesn't know?

Oh, who cares?

[LeftinOH]

18. The bank is going to reposess her Subaru after she stops paying on it-

and they may charge extra for having to remove those stupid decals.

[leeroysphitz]

19. I think it's awsome that they are commiting themselves with a hard date like this.

I hope every christianist in the whole damn country gets on board with these kooks.

The joy of openly mocking these delusional bigots on May 22nd will be priceless.

[pinboy3niner]

20. It's Mr. T's birthday?

Great! I've got time to plan...

[originalpckelly]

42. I pity the fool who don't convert.

:P

[pinboy3niner]

43. *SPRAY*

:rofl:

:toast:

[originalpckelly]

45. I laugh too, but I just hope these people don't hurt themselves.

Really, seriously, people need to make sure their in safe places on May 21.

I think I saw one of them literally rolling a cross down the street last week. It was a giant cross on a wheel, and he kept saying how Christ was coming soon.

[HughBeaumont]

22. There aren't enough facepalms.

"Our God, Our Christ is NOT a vengeful, hateful entity willing to commit his flock to an unmitigated nuclear slaughter!! STOP saying that! He's loving and kind and will sweep the believers up . . . and the rest . . . . well, I guess yew godless heathens are going to drown in a black abyss, aren't you?"

[Javaman]

23. Maybe the end of her world.

I love her smarmy smile.

[Javaman]

25. On may 22nd, I will enjoy the peace and quiet. nt

[bengalherder]

26. Yup.

Maybe we'll only have six more months, but they'll be QUALITY months. :D

[Taverner]

28. Stupidity. Assinine Stupidity. I am ashamed to be the same species as her.

[bemildred]

29. Bring it. nt

[beam me up scottie]

30. "calculated precisely"... "7,000 years from the day Noah shut the door to his ark."

:rofl:

[roamer65]

33. Since we're talking superstition.

Only 2 years to Dec 21, 2012.:silly: :rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

35. So....I don't need to look busy until 150 days from now?

Thanks for the heads up, Allie.

[LuckyTheDog]

36. Wow

What a buzzkill.

[Kievan Rus]

38. I guess these people forgot about Matthew 24:36 and Luke 13:35

Harold Camping actually believes there is a code in the Bible that tells him when the world is going to end (and he's used various sorts of "codes" and has been wrong numerous times before).

Yet, in all his searching for a Bible code, he overlooks several passages that explicitly state nobody knows the end of the world's date.

[Javaman]

40. Replace the term "codes" with voices in his head and it's all explained. nt

[cherish44]

39. If you've ever been to Rapture Ready some of those people are making themselves miserable

They're doing nothing but lamenting on how horrible this world is and that the only thing they're doing is waiting for Jesus to come down from the sky and take them out of here. They seem very disconnected from everything else... It's actually really sad, some of them seem seriously depressed....

[SOS]

41. Rapture instructions:

Liquidate all assets and donate the cash to wecanknow.com
Do this before flying into the sky on May 21.
On May 22 the web site owner will vanish, raptured to the lobby of a bank in the Cayman Islands.
Followers then move into cheap motels to recalculate date.

[originalpckelly]

44. Rapture beotches!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCdS7O248g

It's going to be sad when these people kill themselves eventually. We joke, but some of them will probably do this when they realize what fools they been.

Wonder if they'll do it the 21st of May or October.
