What happens if nothing happens on May 21, 2011?
I've heard a lot of speculation about the end of the world upcoming on May 21, 2011 - but.. what if it doesn't happen? What will happen to those people who fervently believe that the end of the world is nigh? Will we see many people jumping off bridges as they struggle with the loss of their religious convictions or.. will nothing happen?
Discuss!
Well some may jump, but for the most part they will move the date forward as they have in the past so many times.
Nutters the lot of them!
We are supposed to suffer worldwide earthquakes starting at 6pm (I assume pacific time..) that will demolish the earth. If you run a search on it, its covered in a lot of places - for instance even Time Magazine wrote an entry on the apparent calculations for the event. So.. Those who use the 'two-four' weekend to have a few drinks, have an extra one for me in case the world ends!
Aw that sucks, as I was looking forward to seeing a lot of new films set to be released, so now it looks like I won't see them.
All the reason to party harder!
You may be in hell or Wisconsin, it can be hard to tell them apart.
No: Wisconsin regularly freezes over.
You may be right, but I heard someone say they would pay for sex when hell freezes over once.
What happens if nothing happens on May 21, 2011? Then, nothing happens, but I don't think that time or reality are going to cease to exist, to life will just move on to the next day.
We have a 30% chance of rain, is that close enough?
oh yay!
Thanks! I was curious about that!
Happy birthday for Saturday! I predict a lovely day.
Happy Early Birthday! I hope Saturday is supper sunny, warm and... complete!
(I suspect it will be fine..)
...and, I'll be happy to take any electronics off of your hands if you think you're going anywhere saturday
That.. made me laugh until my sides hurt - Thanks!
It probably will because a good number of them are certain to be left behind.
(Imagine how "certain people" are going to be thinking when they wake up on the 22nd, only to discover they're still here. ) (I'm sorry. The widespread nastiness that seems to have taken over much of HP seems to be getting to me. )
Happy Birthday to you!
No earthquakes in Australia yet, and from what I can see, New Zealand is still there.My son's birthday too! [Happy Birthday, BaliMermaid
]
See y'all next week....
Australian early warning system.
10.59am Still here, no rapture. I will keep reporting in as promised.It will prove that the Bible is right when it mentions that no man will know the time day or hour of the second coming of Christ. Even Jesus said he didn't know when the time would be. But only God knows. The Bible also mentions that he will return like a thief in the night, meaning quick and sudden without any notice.
Now that is what I would call open ended.

(I know nothing about the Bible - really NOTHING - but somewhere over the course of my life I heard that thing about "thief in the night" thing, but I also heard that there was going to be plenty of time for everyone on Earth to get their soul-act together before it happened. Either way, when the 22nd rolls around there's going to be a lot of back-peddling and telling everyone that people weren't interpreting the whole business correctly.)
We Northern Hemisphere Hubbers await your next word, Earnest. Put on a tin-foil hat, get under your kitchen table, and stay safe - whatever you do!!Just guessing here Lisa, but I think as it is after 6 in Auckland, I should be able to take the tin foil hat off now, or at least lower my antenna.
Ah. Excellent (although, maybe keep the hat nearby for 6 hours). You've played a crucial role in all this and should be very proud.
- I could never have pulled it off without the foil hat though.
UK signing in here, Its been 2 hours and nothings happened yet
lolLunch time in OZ. all is well.
1pm gone, all is well!

0 any doomsday scenarios are interpretations of Jesus return...
but I believe that it is not Jesus, but the Christ that is returning. and not one Christ, that was Jesus, but the Christ in all of us, that is our Highest Conscience. Christos is the ancient Greek name for "the anointed one".
Jesus wasn't talking just about himself, but that Christ aspect of himself that is in everyone of us. It is the highest level of evolution that the soul can attain...Jesus came to example what a Christed one is and does and to he came to show the way to become the Christ.
similar to a buddha in Buddhism... a state of consciousness any soul can attain to.
But up to this point, no one else has attained anywhere near the level of Christhood that he attained...but we can all strive for that ultimate goal and personify some aspects of that ultimate goal...virtue, kindness and healing of others, etc...
a very lofty goal and several lifetimes away for most of usOh well, they talked funny anyway, they say "sex" for "six" so they probably deserve to be first to go.
- but naughty.

...but the ones still up there are still naked? Eew! Gross. I wonder how long it will be before the sky is cleared up, and I can look up again.
There's nothing worse than a sky full of flying, naked, people! "Rapture?" I think not!!! 
I am now floating above the clouds. The view is AMAZING.
I see all you little ants (that were left behind) running around trying to figure out what (didn't) happened. Don't worry, I will wake up soon, and be part of the real world too.
Hey, maybe it's the 21st of next month. Anyone want to second the motion?
Maybe it will be on the 30th on June, at the end of our financial year? Hey.....you never know....The rapture was a belief that stemmed from:
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The main parts are that Paul is describing the resurrection. The word them in vs 17 are those that died previously. The last part of this verse is the finality of this action of resurrection. In short, for there is depth here, this scripture pertains to resurrection, NOT rapturection. <-- hehe i make a funny.
This verse plainly shows the need for context and the harm of taking one scripture, ignoring the neighboring verses and making a doctrine out of it.We are told not to make predictions.
Just following that teaching will keep "egg off your face".
As for the word "rapture" not being in the Bible, you are correct. But the concept it describes IS, so, we can call it by another name, but it remains essentially the same.
"A rose by any other name, is still....well, you know what I'm saying.
But, you are also correct, I DO believe such an event WILL happen.
Hi dj, Your first post was funny
It's sad for the people who believed the words this pastor were declaring. That's what happens when people stray away from the word of God.A rich senile old man!
I missed the number in the broadcast from BBC he either took 17 million or 70 million off his followers, I'm not sure which. Either way he is well into the religious money game.
Could be, I don't know if anyone has heard his self rebuttal yet, or had their money refunded!
- no end times might be depressing for them tomorrow...
As i have said before, only the weak and sickly of Christendom CAN be taken in by this sort of thing. This is why God gave us his Word. For example if people never knew the world was not going to be flooded by water again as per:
Genesis 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
They might be taken in by a preacher who said a flood is coming!
Reading Gods word is important BUT being connected to God is paramount. (its a relationship thing
Of course we never heard about the more well versed members of his congregation who jumped this sinking ship a long time prior. Kudos to them.
Gonna be a lot of cranky people in the religion forums today
No rapture yet that I can see.....
Can we start being responsible for our actions and messes now?
Since it seems obvious that the big sky daddy isn't going to arrive in the nick of time to clean up our messes for usHappy May 22nd, everyone.
