The BIBLE is Clear, If they actually Read it.? That when asked, Jesus said NOT HE, Nor the Angels knew when the END would be. BUT, Only the Father. This also blows the hell out of the Trinity too. For years, Like the Jehovah's Witnesses Religions have been saying the END was nigh. Now they have "NEW LIGHT" and just say it is Very very Close. Members don't leave when you do it that way. Like in the 20's When Rutherford said, "Millions NOW LIVING will never die." You got it, Their DEAD! We are admonished to Follow THE CHRIST, Not Earthly Organizations that "Claim" to have the only way to reach God. or be HIS CHANNEL.
Funny how a few Scriptures can make anyone believe that God is with them. As if no religion has been persecuted in time yet that is THEIR SIGN that They are God's Chosen Ones.
If you believe that? I have an Acre of Land under the RED SEA for you.

There is only one person who knows when the end will come and that is god himself ..not some man reading a bible and putting what he thinks god is trying to say..And when the end doesn't come on may 21 then what will your excuse be????????????..We all will some day have to stand in front of him to be judged but putting fear into the minds of people is just wrong..And if you like to talk about the church then lets go back when the church murdered people for not beliveing in them or even the witch trails where the church killed thousands for beliveing in a different god and not the god england did..So if we go back we will see that the church should fear the most because the used the name of god to kill so who will be judged

I once heard someone make an end of the World prediction just like this fellow. He even picked the day. He was right. He was hit by a bus and didn't make it.

Actually, this all makes as much sense to me as all the rest of the religious stuff we are constantly bombarded with on a regular basis from our 'leaders'!

Personally, I've had enough of this BS!

I almost feel sorry for the fools that believe this rich old coot. Guess they will be in the welfare and unemployment line come Monday morning. Bet he won't be spreading his wealth to the ones who quit their job and sold their possessions.

This is proof positive that anybody can interpret the bible any way they want to. Sick jerks.

The more I see of these people, the more I just feel bad for them. I mean, a bunch of people who are giving up everything they own..quitting their jobs, spending all their savings, all in the hope that they will no longer be here on Saturday. I mean just look at that woman, she's pregnant and instead of looking foreward to having her baby she is crying over the fact that her mother isn't going to be saved with her. It's just so sad. Frankly on Sunday, I plan to be spending time with daughter and my granddaughter who will only be six days old. If I were one of the believers in this May 21 thing, I would have to believe that my granddaughter's life would be over before it even started...I mean what fun would that be, I wouldn't even get a chance to spoil her. I am of the belief that you have to live every day like it would be your last, in which I mean live it to the fullest, and don't look for trouble or death cause if you're looking you just might find it.

wouldn't it be wonderful if the religious fanatic's god really came and took them all away ... leaving the rest of us to be able to live in peace with one another . No more holy wars. No more talk of hell, no more hate based on bible stories... I sure hope it happens on May 21st ( my birthday by the way ) .... The best part would be years later we learn that the one who showed up as god ended up actually being a race of ET's who gathered them all up , as they went willingly and were taken back to some planet and eaten lol. I know , I know it's a bit dark but , I am pissed off at the creeps who have made life on Earth miserable for all humanity ...

Their god sounds like a spoiled child, making a world just to break it.
