So Armagedon is coming
At six PM (they finally answered it, starts at six YOUR LOCAL TIME... I guess carrying the day was too much and time zones), I'll be pool side... and next day we are going out for brunch... (for real) sorry for not being able to join the post rapture party... but we are going to have a good day in our own way.

Of course I am going straight to hell for shopping and not fasting and praying... (and it is THE SABBATH, tripple wammy) but I was going there anyway.

Any other good post apocalypse activities to pencil in?

5. You know, it occurs to me that John Stewart and Steven Colbert could do
live broadcast of the Rapture Happening. Get on camera interviews with various rapturees and build up the suspense to RR (Rapture Ready) Hour. Then they could do the post event analysis...what the hell went wrong?

3. My sister is throwing a big party that day...
I'm collecting some old clothes to leave in piles along the drive and walkways to her house... and a few more on the patio by the bar... spilled drink; dropped plate of hors d'oeuvres.

I'll be waiting to hear their story come May 22! That's when things will get interesting... all the backpeddling... or silence... or reiteration of the story so we need to send more money 'cuz Jesus was too pissed to call us all up this time... so we have to pray and send money to change his mind!

27. Good catch!
Yes, the clothing I'm collecting will come from Goodwill... and will be re-donated after the party;) Proper costuming is key to a good performance! And letting Goodwill sell the goods twice just seems so... so very... what is the word I'm looking for... hmmmm... Christian!

:D

6. East Coasters get raptured three hours before West Coasters!? That means
they'll snag the best chairs and totally hog all the shrimp at the welcome buffet... :grr:

22. I thought that the Rapists (rapturists?) thought that being on the "left coast"
automatically excluded you from being "rapted" ...

7. What I think is going to happen
God is just going to collect souls and the bodies that have no souls will just walk around like zombies.........
Much like the regressive party does now ............ it will be hard to tell the difference

8. So this is going to be like New Years? It will start in Asia and work it's way
around the globe according to time zones?


I would think that by 6:00pm EST it should be pretty clear that it hasn't happened.


This is going to be interesting.

12. Starts in NZ to be exact, with a horrific quake
given it is in the ring of fire they will get a horrific quake sooner or later... I am just not so sure it will be on Saturday at EXACTLY six PM Local time.

9. Oh good! I'll get to listen to the Vincent Price centennial
celebration on wdcb.org (airs on Those Were the Days from 1-5 central). They're playing a bunch of old time radio programs where VP starred or was a guest. So glad that Jesus moved the Rapture hour back for Vinnie. He must be a fan too! :hi:

11. Well, I guess I'll have to catch the afternoon showing of 'Pirates'.
The early show, that is. It would suck to go to the 4:00 show and then the world ends before the last 15 minutes of the movie.

13. Makes you wonder if they will cover it on TV
Edited on Thu May-19-11 06:30 PM by AsahinaKimi
Like NORAD follows Santa Claus .. ? Weird. I still believe they made a huge mistake. Its not
The Rapture thats coming.. its the return of the Velociraptors! Someone read the ancient texts wrong.

26. 6 PM Local. Perfect. That'll give me time to run to the store for some beer before
the Telethon starts. (I figure, since this is a special occasion, I'll go ahead and get the good stuff.) I wonder if the local station will carry "Dick Clark's Rockin' Rapture"?

28. Pacific Gas and Electric thinks it 8:00 PM PST
as we received planned electricity outage notices from 8:00 PM May 21 to 1:30 PM May 22.

FWIW One of my neighbors is the local Assembly of God (hard core Pentacostal) pastor (and I like him though he is batshit crazy).

He doesn't think tomorrow is the rapture. Also I found out that AOGs are not cannabals like Catholics in that their wafers and wine are wafers and juice and they believe metaphors not transmutation to flesh and blood. Once I gave him a cartoon of two Earling astronauts meeting aliens on another planet. The Earthlings first question was "Do you know Jesus?". The Aliens response "Jesus came first two thousand years ago and comes back every two weeks for a visit. We give Him chocolate. What about you?"

Regardless, I get his hot tub, riding lawn mower, and they just bought a fancy new propane BBQ. He told me to give him a week gone before I take possession. The worst is that now I will have to mow my own lawn and maintain the mower. Plus I have an apartment over my shop / garage / outbuilding and the best cleaning it gets is each summer when their daughter, SIL (another AOG pastor, and grandchildren come to CA from Virginia come each summer for one or two weeks. Plus his wife gives me treats and presents.
