RALEIGH, N.C. If there had been time, Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than six months left, which she'll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here.
Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts, websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin on May 21, 2011.
To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling in countries from Latin America to Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.
"A lot of people might think, 'The end's coming, let's go party,'" said Exley, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq. "But we're commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it's so much better to know that when the end comes, you'll be safe."
In August, Exley left her home in Colorado Springs, Colo., to work with Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio Worldwide, the independent Christian ministry whose leader, Harold Camping, has calculated the May 21 date based on his reading of the Bible.
She is organizing traveling columns of RVs carrying the message from city to city, a logistics challenge that her military experience has helped solve. The vehicles are scheduled to be in five North Carolina cities between now and the second week of January, but Exley will shortly be gone: overseas, where she hopes to eventually make it back to Iraq.
"I don't really have plans to come back," she said. "Time is short."

Ok, you infiltrate the group and get me a list of their home owners. I’ll come in with the low-ball offers.
We’ll make a killing renting back to them.
If they sincerely believe that the world is ending, can I have their stuff?

Unfortunately, she will probably go on and procreate anyway.
“MT 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
Does that refer to the Rapture or the End of the Tribulation? Jesus meets the Church in the air in the Rapture but He does not actually return until the end of the Tribulation. Even so, we may not know the day and hour but we may know the year; and 5-21-2011 may be a lucky guess.
That’s my birthday! Looking forward to whatever happens on that day.
you have got to be kidding me! what is his problem? he is a false prophet... proven... why WOULD any one listen to him?
They missed the BIG Freeze back in the 70’s also, as well as flying cars and moon vacations.
This may be the young lady in question — in which case I’m not so sure it would be a bad thing for her to have a family. http://iava.org/content/marie-exley
No matter what we may do, God already knows it.
Where is the free will in that?
MT 24:36 pretty much says it all.
I guess that’s the hard part. Lots of people believe that God knows all that and more, don’t they?
So when May 21st comes and there’s no Rapture which isn’t this supposed Rapture that Camping folks are hoping for is the Secret Rapture of John Nelson Darby. God does not come back in secret all eyes will see him and he will meet true believers which i really question that they are they would know that Camping was wrong.
My office is just down the street from them.
It’s really sad... they are one of the few, if not the only radio station that still plays the good old traditional hymns of the Christian faith.
I enjoy listening to their music... until Harold Camping comes on... at that point, I switch to another station.

The end of our world began when we were born.
I'll miss you long time.
