Great topics on the radio deserve their own thread. So what will you be eating, drinking, watching and or listening to on Saturday if this whole thing goes belly up in the tank and God decides to flush it all away?

I think i'd like a filet minion and fettuccine alfredo with a philly roll sushi appetizer. Get me a six pack of west coast IPA and a bottle of twelve year old Jameson and some fine chiba. then i'm going to the bar and I'll be listening to the entire Life of Agony album "A River Runs Red"....mixed in with some metallica, pantera, sepultura, and various others. 6pm i'm going to the roof to watch skynet become self aware and start burning this mother fucker down.

how bout you?

[Misteriosa]

im getting my nails and hair done. gotta look good at the end, right?
then i'll be eating my fave meal with my mom and sister. open up a few beers, open up the reserva 8, and just relax.

[Snoogans]

so whats the deal with this? What time do people start poofing up to heaven on saturday? Midnight? 2 pm? I need to make sure im dressed and shit

[landarch]

Say you're one of the kooks who believes......[I]Really[I] believes in this 5/21/11 shit. What are you doing today in preparation?

I passed by this Harold Camping guy on TV a few months ago and the shot was of him and the backs of two or three of his followers. One was a middle-aged guy, nothing spectacular but was wearing a T shirt proclaiming the end of the world on 5/21. That guy is completely sold on the fact that he won't be here next week. What is his day like today? Is he nervous as hell tomorrow because at 6PM he'll be meeting Jesus?

[CountryBob]

6pm right? I will be on hole 15 in a golf tourney on Saturday - My luck I will just hit my tee shot on the green, and as the ball is rolling into the cup for a hole in one, the world ends and I get denied agian from getting a hole in one. :sad:

Don't bother with Pirates 4

[Snoogans]

what do you think will be the industry most impacted by the poofing? Obviously porn will be exactly the same after tomorrow. Most athletes will still be here and prob most musicians and entertainers with all the drugs and pre marital sex.

I woulda guessed teachers would mostly go but after the past couple yars, they are all whores too. Doctors maybe?

[Melrapuo]

So where in the world is it going to be 6pm on Saturday first? Australia? Japan? I was never good with geography...

well, timezones. So i think the feeling is its goin to be 6pm for everyone. The poofing starts 6pm in Australia or whatever and goes around the world like a giant wave.



look look here it comes, almost our time to stand.

from wiki:

The 2011 end times prediction made by Christian radio host Harold Camping states that the Rapture (in premillennial theology, the taking up into heaven of God's elect people) will take place on May 21, 2011[1][2] at 6 p.m. local time (the rapture will sweep the globe time zone by time zone

[Snoogans]

* The rapture will occur on May 21, 2011 with approximately 3% of the world's population being called to heaven.[13]
* Earthquakes will begin on May 21 on Kiritimati Island (Christmas Island), Kiribati at 6:00pm LINT (4:00am UTC).[13]
* Citing Jeremiah 25:32, earthquakes will continue "as the sun advances" with New York, United States to be affected at approximately at 6:00pm EDT (10:00pm UTC).[13]
* The earthquakes will finally strike Samoa, American Samoa and Niue at 6:00pm UTC-11 (5:00am UTC).[13]
* The end of the world will take place five months later on October 21, 2011.[4]

[Snoogans]

i really hope, just by coincidence, that there is some minor meaningless earthquake somewhere at like 525pm and everyone freaks out

[PapaBear]

I saw someone holding a sign on TV footage today, that read "at supper time". It didn't say if that's GMTSUPPERTIME, or GMT-(whatever)SUPPERTIME. Maybe that's the loophole for the whole "No one knows the real time" aspect that's in the Bible.

Supper time whereever you are. He wants the west coast to really think about it before it happens.

But the whole thing has been fucked anyway. New Zealand didn't have an earthquake or anything. So, well, I guess he done blow it again.

Fuck. Ambien and talking about the end of the world is incredibly confusing.

This line is funny as fuck to me. I told a guy at work about this whole Rapture thing yesterday. Just after Midnight, he sent me a text asking me what it was that was supposed to happen today, but his words were extremely jumbled. I told him, and his next text was even more jumbled.

Having dealt with people sending me text messages while on Ambien in the past, my first question to him was, "Are you on Ambien, or something?"

I dont see what was terrible about that article? It basically calls out all the dummies who truly believed this crap that he was selling and said that either his idiot followers or the govt should be looking into all the money he made off this lie.

I didn't say the concept was terrible, just the article. You must just like the article because you agree with the theme of it. I know CafeMom is a reputable news source and all, but the article states that the guy made tons of money off of the idiot believers, then cites an example of someone spending their savings buying advertising for the thing, which is completely different. The only mention of him actually making money off of the followers is this well-written and excellently-supported gem:

He raked in tons of dough from Family Radio followers between 2005-2009.

It still sucks a ball's ass.

camping owns the radio stations i believe. but regardless, you must not have read the whole thing. Apparently, Camping himself made almost 80 mill in donations to him from people from 2005-now. He definately made a mint of these dummies


i say good anyway. they were the fuckin dummies who bought that shit and gave him the money. fuck them. good for Camping

Oh wait. (http://money.cnn.com/2011/05/19/news/economy/may-21-end-of-the-world-finances-harold-camping/index.htm)


NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- By now, you've probably heard of the religious group that's predicting the end of the world starts this weekend.

Harold Camping and his devoted followers claim a massive earthquake will mark the second coming of Jesus, or so-called Judgment Day on Saturday, May 21, ushering in a five month period of catastrophes before the world comes to a complete end in October.

At the center of it all, Camping's organization, Family Radio, is perfectly happy to take your money -- and in fact, received $80 million in contributions between 2005 and 2009. Camping founded Family Radio, a nonprofit Christian radio network based in Oakland, Calif. with about 65 stations across the country, in 1958.

But not even all of his own employees are convinced that the world is ending on Saturday.

In fact, many still plan on showing up at work on Monday.

"I don't believe in any of this stuff that's going on, and I plan on being here next week," a receptionist at their Oakland headquarters told CNNMoney.

A program producer in Illinois told us, "We're going to continue doing what we're doing."

According to their most recent IRS filings, Family Radio is almost entirely funded by donations, and brought in $18 million in contributions in 2009 alone.
Take a look at Family Radio's IRS filings

According to those financial documents, accountants put the total worth of Family Radio (referred to as Family Stations on its official forms) at $72 million.

With those kind of financials -- and controversial beliefs -- it's no wonder skeptics have accused the group of running a scam.

Camping first inaccurately predicted the world would end in 1994. Even so, he has gathered even more followers -- some who have given up their homes, entire life savings and their jobs because they believe the world is ending.

Esther, the receptionist in the Oakland office, said some of her most extreme coworkers have recently driven up in fancy cars or taken their families on nice vacations as a last hurrah.

But overall, she estimates about 80% of her coworkers don't even agree with Camping's May 21 forecast. She has stuck to her work as usual, booking appointments and filling up calendars for her coworkers well beyond the May 21 date.

Meanwhile, some employees are questioning the meaning of Harold Camping's goodbye letter sent to the Family Radio mailing list last week. While he says farewell, he encourages employees to "steadfastly continue to stand with us to proclaim the Gospel through Family Radio."

Could that mean he plans on disappearing, but the company should still go about its business as usual?
Read Harold Camping's goodbye letter

The producer in Illinois said, "We're trying to guess what it means for the company. Our producers have programs done through the end of the month, so we're not looking at that having any effect on the work."

Also curious is why Family Radio requested an extension to file their nonprofit paperwork. The group is required to submit financial documents in many of the states where they solicit donations, and in Minnesota they requested an extension from their July 15 deadline to November 15.

July 15th was already well past their Judgment Day prediction -- when they say believers will ascend to heaven -- so why bother requesting an extension to November?

But Family Radio's financial filings otherwise look hardly unusual for a religious nonprofit.

"At first glance, it looks like they have a lot of assets, but they actually don't have a lot of cash that they're stockpiling," said Laurie Styron, analyst with the American Institute of Philanthropy.

Most of the group's net worth is tied up in FCC broadcasting licenses, valued at $56 million. Family Radio claimed it held only $1.5 million in cash on its books at the end of 2009.

The paperwork shows Camping has so far, never taken a penny for his own salary, but Family Radio has plenty of other paid employees.

The nonprofit employed about 350 people and paid them a collective $8.3 million -- or roughly $23,000 per person -- in 2009.

What the 2009 IRS filings don't show, is how the organization's donations and expenses may have changed during 2010 and leading up to the May 21 Judgment Day prediction.

In the last few months, Family Radio billboards have popped up across the country. And the group purchased RVs to drive around the country on its evangelizing missions.

Those expenses could have changed their financial picture, but since Family Radio doesn't have to turn in their next IRS filing until November, it may not even matter.

"If people donating to this group think the world is ending on Saturday, then I'm not sure that they care," Styron said.

[Snoogans]
