To whom should I address my official complaint at being left behind? I went to bed with my arms crossed , "composed myself for death " and, if not forgiving of my enemies, at least in a state of pity for them lol.

I think I was 'good' enough to go... really I do, I am kind to old people and animals, don't lie, steal or murder, I'm not EVEN an aetheist ;-) ( though I suppose my morals might leave a bit to be desired, being an unmarried mother? do you think? )

Who do we think will be the Antichrist......?

And I was having such fun tidying up all the craft stuff. I won't get it finished in time now. May aswell have a hot choc and watch Dr. Who instead.

I'm going to have to re-register with Genes Reunited as I cancelled my subscription. ;-)

We were on British Summer Time so did that not make our deadline 7.00pm :S

October 21 is but a few months away and will be here before you can say....


Christian dispensationalist End Times: pretribulation, premillennial, Christian eschatological viewpoint of the end of the world.

Thanks for that Janey!! I am always ready to improve my vocabulary and look at other viewpoints on my existence.

These books are fiction, aren't they.

I'm off to make certain I am better prepared on 21st October than I was on 21st May. Larger stock of chocolate, take up drinking alcohol, new outfit, clocks on GM time, copious quantities of tea, practice being a bad person (that will be a challenge), stop payment of all invoices, cards, fh subscriptions and utilities, all necessary and unnecessary journeys done, house clean and tidy, rapture party hosted and family history questions at the ready.

And just in case you are worried about future predictions......

1. Followers of William Miller believed the world would end on October 22, 1844.

2.The Jehovah's Witness religion has predicted the end of the world in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994.

3. Charles Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church, predicted the world would end in 1794.

4. Famous forecaster Nostradamus predicted doomsday would happen in July 1999.

5. English mystic Joanna Southcott predicted the world would end on October 19, 1814, when she gave birth to the Messiah.

I have.nt done the washing-up or the laundry today, not much point if it's the end of the world, and now you tell me I've been left behind, story of my life.!

Left on the scrap -heap of life , no rapture, zilch.
I
shall be interested to see how the Canadian church that believed today was the day will say , as they had deferred their Tax returns to November,.... now they will have to pay up !
I do wonder what their excuse for miscalculating the date, will they have the same problem with their Taxes ?

SylviaInCanada Report 22 May 2011 00:14

it was a US church that promulgated the idea that tday was the day



just as they did in 1994



and that was a failure as well!
