So is there anybody here who believes that the world will end this year?

[Saiyaman]

I told people a few hours ago when the new year officially started that I would like to see the faces of those people who wrote all those books and spend so much money and effort in that BS in January 2013 and laugh at them.

Come on, we have seen this a lot of times before. in the Late eighteen hunderds priests were saying that the world would end in 1900, believers actually sold everything they had and 1900 came and the world still carried on.

So then people started saying "1984, that will be it, we found this scroll and that description..." George Orwell even wrote a book about it. But 1984 went by without any notable global destruction.

So then people started going "1999, that HAS to be it, it says so in these inscriptions in a cave in that land..." 1999 came and went.

So then people started saying "It will be at the second of February 2002, 2-2-2002. Because we found this depiction of a disaster that will happen in a book in a library of that church..." 2-2-2002 came and went.

So now it's "2012, we're absolutely sure of it now, we found this Mayan stone which already predicted this and that and furthermore we found several unfinished essays by this historian which confirms it!"

Thing is, most people base those things on what the Bible says, but they overlook what the Bible also says that Christ warned against date setting in Matthew 24:36, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

And let's be honest, who are people thinking they are kidding by using ANCIENT inscriptions as proof? Did the people who made those inscriptions care about the future? They were talking about their own situations, the Mayan Society was ended by the Spanish invaders, that was the end of THEIR world.

Nope, the world will not end and I'm sure people are already thinking of a next date, what will it be? 2020?

This video breaks it down so that even idiots should be able to finally get that the whole "world is ending" thing was simply hype to sell more advertising on the History Channel.

 

[Safe_Bet]

They WILL eventually be right, you know.

Then you're gonna feel really stupid!

 

[Saiyaman]

Oh I've been bullied enough in my childhood and teen years to have learned that even if I am wrong, I'd still stand behind my decisions.

Because if there's one thing that bullies respect, it's when somebody picks themselves up again after a battering.

And even IF they are right and the world will end, it won't be my problem, they can't scold me if we're all dead.

 

[lovecraft68]

For the Christians The Bible is very specific where God says "no man will know the day" so if these idiots think they know the day don;t pay attention.

Also if you keep following Revelation after the tribulations and final war there will be a 1000 year peace on earth. We ain't going anywhere in our lifetime.

The way I look at it is that the president of the first Mayan bank and trust wanted a calendar to give out to his customers. So he sent a young VP out to find one. He found an old boy that had a calendar and paid him a little money to finish it.

The calendar maker had been working on the Carlene for thirty years. It was now and obsession. He took the money and kept right on working. The VP checked back in ever so often but only ended up giving the guy a few more bucks for the promise of the completed calendar in a few weeks.

Finally, the president calls in the VP and asks, "Where the fuck is my calendar?"

"He's working on it. He has it up to like 2012."

"2012? What the fuck? I wanted a yearly calendar. Go get that damned thing and toss it in the vault since we've already paid too much for it and have him make a one year calendar."

Years later some fool finds it and thinks, "Why did it stop here?" A moment later, "Oh shit, it's the end of the world."

Sad to say they could manage to turn that into an hour long documentary on the History Channel.

Signs of the Eminent End of the World -

• Saiyaman writes a comment only one paragraph long.

• Cloudy gets a boob reduction and changes her last name to Custer.

• Lovecrafter writes a story worth reading.

• I FINALLY give in to his incessant begging and have sex with TxRad.



In other words, y'all are WAY safe!

You forgot to add that Safe_Bet gets over her bitterness at the world and stops being such a hater.

So yes, I agree we are all safe.

 

[TE999]

Ain't no way the world's gonna end this year. I still have stories to write, gardens to plant, books to read, people to annoy, places to go, things to do and a bucket list to complete.

Those Mayans couldn't even take out a handful of Spanish Conquistadors, how the hell could anyone think they could predict the future with any degree of accuracy?

 

[Stella_Omega]

You're thinking of the Aztecs, TE99. The Mayans were never conquered. They joined the Mexican state by treaty, when they were good and ready. Go visit Cozumel, or Cancun. The Mayans are right there, prospering. Some of the people I met looked like that had stepped right out of the carvings in the ruins of their own ancient cities.

Veracruz has less Catholic churches than any part of Mexico, as well...

Here's wishing us all a happy and productive new year!

Whoops, my bad. So much for combining an advanced education and a failing memory.

Happy New Year, Stella.

I don't hate you, dude. To hate you would require me to give a shit about you first and I don't.

Whoops, my bad. So much for combining an advanced education and a failing memory.

Happy New Year, Stella.

So, TE... Is memory the first or second thing to go????

(and if you tell me you "don't remember" your "member" will be the third thing to go! )

As per usual hype gets details confused. The claim is not that the world will end but that earth will be entering "The light years" at the moment we're in the years of darkness. 2011 was the beginning of preparing light workers for the time of healing over the next 11 thousand years. So the claim is that those who can not help to heal earth and humanity will observe the healing from outside of earth (in the esther).

 

[lovecraft68]

I don't hate you, dude. To hate you would require me to give a shit about you first and I don't.

I never said you hated me personally hon, you're just a hater in general with a mad on against the world. Like an angst ridden teenager.

And if I meant nothing to you, you would not mention me in your posts now would you? I think you've run out of things to say to the other people you don't like here and have shifted over to me.

It's all good, if busting my balls improves your day, go for it.

Sadder that it was turned into a much longer movie that even John Cusack couldn't save.

 

[Handley_Page]

Erm, perhaps Harold Camping might have another go with his calculations ?

Incidentally, those folks who actually be lived him, did they manage to get their money back or sue him (or whatever) ?

I don't think they have the spine to do so, if you're raised religiously in the way those people are, then you mustn't doubt people who put in the fear of God.

It's much like Frank Zappa said it in his song "Heavenly bank account"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCcgthWmE60

And if these words you do not heed
Your pocket book just kinda might recede
When some man comes along and claims a godly need
He will clean you out right through your tweed

That's right, remember there is a big difference between
kneeling down and bending over...

He's got twenty million dollars
In his Heavenly Bank Account.. .
All from those chumps who was
Born again
Oh yeah, oh yeah
He's got seven limousines
And a private plane...
All for use of his
Special Friends
Oh yeah, oh yeah
He's got thousand-dollar suits
And a Wembley Tie...
Girls love to stroke it
While he's on the phone
Oh yeah, oh yeah
At the House of Representatives
He's a groovy guy. . .
When he Gives Thanks He is not alone. . .

He is dealin'
He is really dealin' IRS can't determine
Where The Hook is
It is easy with the Bible
To pretend that
You're in Show Biz
They won't get him
They will never get him
For the naughty stuff
That he did
It is best in cases like this
To pretend that
You are stupid

He's got Presidential Help
All along the way
He says the grace
While the lawyers chew
Oh yeah
They sure do
And the Governors agree to say: "He's a lovely man!"
He makes it easier for
Them to screw
All of you...
Yes, that's true!
'Cause he helps put
The Fear of God
In the Common Man
Snatchin' up money
Everywhere he can
Oh yeah Oh yeah
He's got twenty million dollars
In his Heavenly Bank Account
You ain't got nothin', people
You ain't got nothin', people
You ain't got nothin', people
Thank the man.. .oh yeah

And saddest of all? We all keep discussing it.

Who's this we you speak of paleface?

Uh, wait, uh, never mind.

Um, yeah....okay.

I can explain it even simpler than that video did: What do we do at the end of our calendar? We go back to the beginning (January) and start all over again. In other words, we treat time as if it were circular, not linear, the way most think of time.

Guess what shape the Mayan long-count calendar is, boys and girls?

 

[TE999]

(and if you tell me you "don't remember" your "member" will be the third thing to go! )

As a matter of fact your short term memory fails first and then ... Um, what were we talking about again? Oh yes, memory failure, then the second thing to go is your attention span ... Oh look, something shiny! What were we ... Oh yes ... my 'member', as you put it (I prefer 'naughty bits') is just fine, thank you very much ...Errr, wait a minute, I'll be right back ... *sound of bathroom door closing*

 

[Stella_Omega]

 

[LordMhoram]

So, TE... Is memory the first or second thing to go????

The answer should be 'memory', because blissfully they can't remember their member no longer functions.

...Errr, wait a minute, I'll be right back ... *sound of bathroom door closing*

See? He's forgotten it doesn't work
