I'm not sure where to put this Skywalker but I'm sure you'll move it if it's in the wrong spot. I am NOT saying this is true or that anyone should make haste to score good brownie points just in case but it still might be of interest to many people. According to this article..May 21 IS the day of the Rapture. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110103/ap_on_re/us_rel_apocalypse_soon

This originates from the broadcasts of "Family Radio;" in particular, a fellow named Harold Camping ("Brother Camping" to the faithful). The linked article was not accurate nor honest in the depiction of this particular belief as "independent of any church." This isn't true at all; it is the claim and teaching of Harold Camping and his Family Radio ministry. If this was a truly independent notion, then why do you find links to the Family Radio website and affiliated "bible study" organ at the end of the article? Dishonesty and bending the truth is the modus operandi of charlatans. The May 21, 2011 prediction is also not the first time "Brother" Camping has announced a date for the "Rapture." Google his name, or Family Radio...you'll find a wealth of information regarding this fellow and his ministry. He also predicted September 6, 1994, as the date Christ would return. Oops, guess he was wrong. ;D

May 21 will be the end - for some people. It will be the beginning for even more people. Unfortunately, that's the math of overpopulation.
Me...I'll be on some beach or walking around looking down at rocks. Which is just perfect, end of the world or no...

Whats this? Cutting in before 2012? In about 2.3 billion years, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are to merge and pass through each other too. Thanks Jo, always a helpful important safety tip knowing when the world is ending... Steve

*sigh* Not MY belief any more than I think cows are responsible for global warming...although..have you ever smelled a dairy? That aside. Someone put this little bee in my bonnet that we should be supplying all sorts of articles for discussion. What's to discuss..either the world will end or it won't. If we're debating, I'm on the side of ..live your today, hug your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/kids every day and polish up the halo just in case What will be...will be.

jo: No worries here, I figured that was your motivation for posting the link to that article ( I criticized the article, not you...and then criticized "Brother" Camping because it is fun to do so ). Personally, I feel your own perspective is a sound one. However, I knew what it was without you needing to post it. Keep on going on!

Jo - There must be something in the air. I am finding my sarcasm to be sharper than normal the past few days. I have found myself holding back on more than one occasion.

If you think your sarcasm is sharp you should take a look at some of the things they have been saying over on Ufomania lately. They were intolerant before but now they are on the verge of becoming downright mean. I don't know what those people are trying to accomplish with their negative attitudes.
I doubt that this is going to be the end of the world but it may very well be the end of MUFON and Ufomania. I see parallels in both of them.

Wow... you're right. I just checked the forum. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm not going to post because I don't want to be slapped and/or patronized again...

I don't know what in the world JJ is thinking. It's almost like he is trying to destroy the forum on purpose. What's the point in chasing everybody away? It doesn't make any sense unless the rumors I hear about him are true...

I haven't been over there in a while. My blood pressure cannot handle it. I read one response from "he who will not be named" about how he wasn't try to be condescending, but his very response was condescending. It drove me over the edge. I haven't been back since.

I rarely go over there and spy on the threads, but I don't offer responses anymore. I just roll my eyes and laugh, then I come back over here normally.

I find it incredibly odd...amazingly so..that Stiver warned some of our favorite people to back off of Randy..she protected him. Why do I find this odd? 'He who shall not be given name' hates Randy...detests his posts and on more than one occasion has tried to stifle him. He's sent me many emails to that end, because Randy doesn't have a shred of proof to base his posts on. So..why are they not hounding Randy? I'd have thought by now 'himself' would have him in stocks throwing pies at him. I hate creeping around over there..makes me feel 'sullied' somehow and I'm with Sanseed..I won't go back. That ship is sinking.

Rex, leaves me mail over there every day. It always pertains to the woods case. I think jj takes her side in the law suit.. I don't began to know the case, can you fill me in on this.. she is going after two men who have worked very hard all their lifes to help abductees.. I had both of them to hang on to 30 years ago when I never even heard of Mufon..

~group hug for everyone here~ ~hands out chocolates to everyone here too~ Curious where threads like this goes sometimes. some threads focused...others free associate....and are just as entertaining....here are some chocolates to sooth and restore the soul... can you smell the chocolate from the photo? Enjoy. And we ask ourselves why aliens would want to visit the Earth? The answers maybe all around us... Steve (Some chocolates also for those half dozen in Ashburn, Virgina, and the dozen in Mountain View / Sunnyvale, California who often scan my Steve's investigations thread.

~chuckle~ pick the one candy I'm not fond of *sigh*. You think aliens like a bit of earth drama for entertainment? True enough that our threads tend to mutate a bit but then ...life does that. It's not the 'end of the world' (maniacal giggle)

Lois I haven't been paying much attention to this story but I'll see if I can find out the details of it for you, Shami. I'll have to sneak back behind enemy lines to do it though. They have orders to shoot me on sight. Hopefully I will make it back here alive.

I go back and read a few postings too - but am not motivated to respond and draw further fire. I thought about writing a treatise about what I mean about "attitude" and then thought - I think I want to watch some TV or make another piece of rock jewelry for the spin and win in our rock show (Courtenay Rock Club). Nothing would be gained. Life is too precious to be annoyed any more than is absolutely necessary.

I had both of them to hang on to 30 years ago when I never even heard of Mufon.. Lois Are they sure about what they are discussing 'over there'? Elaine Douglass phones me (more than usual recently in the past few weeks), and Elaine talks often with David Jacobs too the same evening. Unless I am unaware of something within the last two weeks..... there is no lawsuit by Woods against Jacobs! Never has been. Or so Jacobs told Elaine. Woods became emotionally dependent on Jacobs, and Jacobs appropriately may have distanced himself and his research from the Woods case. Woods then 'snapped'. Elaine Douglass reports Woods is essentially 'a stalker'. JJ can take sides with Woods or not all he wants to. It fits in perfectly with his anti abduction research agenda. In any case, there is no law suit I am aware of from Woods at Jacobs. Only on the internet, not in reality. What lawyer would want such a case? Not much for any lawyer in deep pockets. JJ in making his usual tiresome byzantine posts, has forgotten the obvious. Like a mechanic building a car, he somehow forgets to notice the tires are missing before the road test. Steve
