Mark Your Calendars for RAPTURE DATE: Jan. 20, 2008
That's when the Antichrist, er Bush, will have ruled for 7 years and the time of tribulation will be over (according to the book of Revelations). That means we get one less year of Bush than we thought.

:evilgrin:

1. no kidding, i thought it was this thursday
oh wait -- isn't the rapture supposed to happen before A.C reigns or something like that, at the beginning of the 7-yr Trib's?

16. It depends
Some of the fundies believe that the Rapture will happen BEFORE the great tribulation, while other fundies believe that the Rapture will occur AFTER the great tribulation.

They call themselves either pre-trib or post-trib and they argue about which is right.

Also - the fundies believe that there will be some serious plagues on the unbelievers during the great tribulation - like boils, sores, locusts, frogs, etc, etc.

I haven't had too many debilitating sores and boils recently that made me want to curse God and die, but maybe I just have a high threshold for pain.

26. Those gargoyles pay JC lip service
but they aren't like anyone in my church! There are also lots of false prophets and fake believers with big mouths predicted for these times let us not forget!

19. So did I
Damn it. Some of those people on Rapture Ready said it would happen 8/4. I guess that means I should call my brother and tell him to delay his trip here Friday morning by an hour. I told him yesterday that he could drive down in the morning because the rapture would help get rid of all that morning traffic. :evilgrin:

25. Didn't you hear? They had to move the rapture back due to a
conflict with the Annual Sale at Wal-Mart. There's still more time to buy cheap crap, people, so load up your SUV's!

Well, let's hope they replace their roof before they go.

12. Aldous Huxley once wrote
“Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.”


I think he was right on the money... Hell on Earth.

5. That can't be
My neighbor promised me his Jeep and I saw him yesterday afternoon. I keep a close eye on them because I really want that Jeep as soon as they are ferried up.

8. We should be so lucky
It really would be awesome if we could know ahead of time who is getting raptured so we could get dibs on their assets before hand. Just think about it--I'm sure there would be enough to pay off the national debt and still have enough over to enjoy ourselves for a significant amount of time.

Personally, all I want is a house by the ocean. And a boat. And a nice car. Just ordinary stuff like that. Oh, and this administration long gone. :rofl:

18. I'd go with a pool
But of course, the one without the pool might have something else going for it that's better!

11. I thought it was today
If I remember correctly one of our posters (sorry-NRD, name retention disorder) related a story of his fundy neighbor offering up his keys to his vehicle because he wouldn't need them after next Tuesday (today).

We humans are really not liked up there.

Last I heard, the Devine Congress was adamantly opposed to letting us through the "border."

29. I hear you must remain seated at all times.
Sorry. You could probably get away with sticking you hands out on the loops, though. I don't see what harm that would do.
