The end is not just nigh, it's in May 2011: (Colorado) Springs woman touts Armageddon's date

Marie Exley of Colorado Springs is convinced that Armageddon, the end of the world as written of in the Bible, will come next year.

Her conviction is so strong that, though unemployed, she’s paid $1,200 to buy advertising space on 10 Springs bus benches through October to get the word out. The ad says, “Save the Date! Return of Christ: May 21, 2011, WeCanKnow.com.”

“I want to do all I can to get the message out,” Exley, 31, said.

Exley got the idea for the ads from listening to Family Radio, a Christian broadcast heard on 55 stations in the United States, including KFRY, 89.9 FM, in Pueblo. It’s hosted by controversial Christian leader Harold Camping.

Camping predicts Christ will return on the date in Exley’s advertisement. Listeners in other states have also purchased outdoor ad space to proclaim the date.

The ads are written and designed by the creators of WeCanKnow.com, an Ohio-based web site devoted to reminding people of Christ’s return.

“We hope it raises awareness and sends people to their Bible,” said Robert Dunham, spokesman for WeCanKnow.com. “Time is running out, but there is still time for salvation.”

Save the date!

. . and my Mom is planning a trip to Alaska for us & my kid Sister in August 2011 . . . I hope she didn't get that non-refundable deposit down. .

I think you forgot to turn the page on your Mayan calendar.

More reason to PARTY ALL NIGHT FRIDAY! WOOHOO!

That will really screw up the Memorial day sales weekend!

:cry: It figures, first touchdown Jesus and now this.

:eyes:

We sure don't live in the brightest of states, do we? Even NE Ohio isn't immune from the Sky Spook plague.

:P

in such literalist and prophetic nonsense.

exactly what I meant.

Don't forget, the fact that fundies are so freakin' LOUD does not mean they are the majority.

Otherwise, America will go on proudly, free of the prophesied Hate-gagging Republigeddon Fascism.

Or is that a real picture of Sarah?

Or so says the pamphlet titled "88 reasons Why The Rapture Will Be in 1988".

Jesus did come back, saw who we'd elected and immediately left.

:spray:

and where...

Wouldn't it be funny if she had to pick him up at the airport? Oh shit...what if he's on the "no fly" list???? :cry:

Maybe this time he'll come back as an Icelandic guy named "Jesus Larsson"

Again.

dieting and exercising....increase my wine drinking! Sounds good. Too bad I gave up smoking....tobacco, that is. Pass me a joint.:smoke:

Do not like that place. No sirree.

When I was working on a kibbutz in Israel, there was a Japanese christo-nutter group called the Makuya there. They said the messiah would walk down from Mount Gilboa around a certain time. The kibbutz was at the base of Gilboa. I used to climb up the mountain in the afternoons for exercise, wondering if I would be crowned upon my return.

She's muscling in on his cash cow. He has been declaring "next year" to be the end of the world for decades now.

They never seem to specify which. I mean if it were baby jesus they they have to wait like 30+ years for anything really special to happen. That would like totally suck.

But if it were a full grown adult jesus, would he follow the same route as last time? Say sum stuff then promptly get crucified? That would totally suck to, well for him.

I've worked flippin' hard for my PhD. Can't let Jesus' return ruin that.














Idiots. *Sigh*

:argh:

I'll make sure I mark it on my calender so I can max out my credit cards and not pay my bills the month before.

Is there any other country on earth that is so obsessed with the end of the world?

huge long-term loans and mortgages, knowing that they'll be Raptured and never have to repay them

He picked 9/6/94 before.

All things considered, no point sobering up for a day.

Besides, the second coming already happened in 1693.

This fundie favorite wrote a book that proclaimed jebus would return in 1994. Fail.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Disappointment

"The Great Disappointment was a major event in the history of the Millerite movement, a 19th century American Christian sect that formed out of the Second Great Awakening. William Miller, a Baptist preacher, understood by studying the prophecies in the book of Daniel (Chapters 8 and 9, especially Dan. 8:14 "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed") that Jesus Christ would return to the earth during the year 1844. A more specific date, that of October 22, 1844, was preached by Samuel S. Snow. Although thousands of followers, some of whom had given away all of their possessions, awaited expectantly, Jesus did not appear as expected on the appointed day and as a result October 22, 1844, became known as the Great Disappointment."

Ye shall not know the day or time of my return?

And damn it I AM JEWISH and I know this.

Oh silly me. Also I thought the day was December 12, 2012...

Oy...

Or are they too chicken to put their money where their mouths are?

Can we all e-mail her on the 22nd?

I don't know what He'd think of this notion.

:D

that weekend's no good for me. Let's see if we can't reschedule, hmmm?

This world is SO effed up right now that not even the Son of God would want to tackle it all.

"Barack, you got this," Jesus was heard to say as he returned to the bar in Heaven for an Old Fashioned (Jesus is a BIG "Mad Men" fan).

I know.

Don't let Jesus anywhere near the banksters.

Maybe something like a "1st Amendment Zone?" ...

... for Jesus.

Shame on America for empowering psychopaths to steal from the innocent.

Matthew 24:36 (King James Version)

 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

I don't do well if I miss my lunch.

US Eastern Standard Time, please...

"Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes.
Long hair, beard and sandals,
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon we'd just nail him up
If he came down again."

Kris Kristofferson, 1973 (?)

Christ returns in May,approved faithful taken bodily into heaven after judgement, world destroyed by fire in October 2011. With, I suppose, all unbelievers, Democrats and gays on it to suffer and die.

This link gives you the "biblical timetable" as the "religious intellectuals" of the right believe it to be:

They will all be up in Heaven with Jesus watching us burn to death, which will be the start of their eternal reward and forever party.

This woman is crazier than the crazy cat lady on The Simpsons.

I may have watched too many episodes of The Price Is Right when I was young.

Yeah, like it's something to be penciled in between the PTA meeting and Pilates.

She's crazy, but the fact that she is unemployed has no relevance.

In fact, I only trust those who have been long-term unemployed at least once. Compliant capitalist slaves have little of value to say.

Using money she could have spent on necessities for this kind of drivel.
