So, this billboard showed up by my work last week. Apparently, the world is ending again. This time, it's May 21, 2011. I guess they are trying to beat the rush during 2012. Has anyone else seen these billboards?

This has already popped up on the boards.

I've seen their trucks around town. Big 14' U-haul style panel vans emblazoned with their gloom and doom predictions. For whatever reason this sect is being very vocal about it.

I'm tempted to go up to one and ask if I can clear out their house on the 20th if they're so convinced the world will end on the 21st.
 
No need to get snippy - I searched and didn't find anything on the subject - maybe you could just post a link to the thread(s) in question?
 
If you use the in-house google search feature and copy and paste your header The world to end May 21, 2011, you will find a heap of hits.

Remember, the Rapture is just for those who have guessed the right god, have avoided the endless pitfalls and traps, and have sussed out how to live the way the god deems appropriate while having to depend on a book that even they say is mostly metaphorical and very subject to interpretation.

Sounds easy.

Sounds easy like a video game.

:D
 
Be kind of nice to be able to rent that billboard in perpetuam, and leave that exact same prediction on there, with the predictor's names highlighted.

Saw it on a billboard on my drive to work on Thursday ... and it was pretty new.

I asked myself WTF, and am not sure I want to know the answer. I'm guessing yet another rapture bunny running amok ...

EDIT:

OK, from wecanknow.com

This web site serves as an introduction and portal to four faithful ministries which are teaching that WE CAN KNOW from the Bible alone that the date of the rapture of believers will take place on May 21, 2011 and that God will destroy this world on October 21, 2011. Please take your time and browse through the teachings of Harold Camping, President of Family Radio. Visit EBible Fellowship, Bible Ministries International, and The-Latter-Rain to read and listen to many faithful teachers give scriptural insight on the doctrines that God is teaching His people. Learn about the Biblical Timeline of History, the correct method of Bible interpretation, the End of the Church Age and God's command to believers that they must depart out of the churches. Study the proofs that God has so graciously given in His Word showing us that these dates are 100% accurate and beyond dispute. Above all, please READ THE BIBLE and prayerfully ask God to open your spiritual eyes to these truths. May it please Him to have mercy on each of our souls.

Are they hired until the day after the end 5/21/2011?
Could be a great saving scheme right there
ROTFL

You mean a multi-level fraud or something else? I wouldn't put it past the fundies to arrange payment for the 22nd in the assumption they'll screw the leasing company out of their money by leaving the country.

Okay. But we CAN reload and try again after Game Over, right ?
 
If I understand St. John the Divinely Insane correctly, anybody who doesn't accept Jesus as their personal savior before the Rapture will be damned, yes?

If so, then he's saying, "I could have arranged the clouds to say 'Believe in me, ********', or something else well within the powers of a god that DIDN'T involve mass kidnappings and consequent gotchas, but chose not to."

Or am I wrong?
