Christian group predicts the world will be 'annihilated' on Wednesday (Women, children, hardest hit)

While our planet may have survived September’s “blood moon”, it will be permanently destroyed on Wednesday, 7 October, a Christian organization has warned.

The eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that claim proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.

That’s not hardly even enough time to make a slick YOUTUBE video about it....

I’m disappointed on two counts: first, they didn’t say WHEN on Wednesday that the End would come - I’m scheduled to take a plane tomorrow, and I’d rather see the end from home...its hard to plan when nobody gives you the right information.

Second, apparently I’m going to miss the season opener of “The Walking Dead.” I’ve REALLY been looking forward to this, and it kind of ticks me off.

There’s just no consideration these days - next time the apocalypse comes around, I hope that someone more conscious of peoples’ concerns is involved in the decision-making process.

Thats crazy, everyone knows the world will not end until Nov 4th when the Cubs win the World Series

2) the common response throughout much of Christian history has been something along the lines of, “if I knew the world were ending tomorrow, I would plant a tree,” meaning we are supposed to act as if our work will never end, all the while knowing that it will end when we don’t expect it to.

Which you guys got from the Jews...a very famous rabbi was once asked what one should do upon hearing that the Messiah has arrived, and his reply was "plant a tree."

Does ManBearPig (a.k.a. Algore) know about this?? He might want to get in on the scam...

OK, now I can rest easy - I know that I'll die of old age in my bed, because the the Cubbies are NEVER going to win the Series.

You’ll know it’s really the end if it’s the Rangers and Cubs play in the World Series.

NOOOOO can’t be, I don’t have my quilts done yet!!!!!!

Every time...there hasn't been much of a future in being a messenger since sometime during the Biblical era. That's how you can tell when someone is a few cans short of a six-pack, they become a messenger. :>)

Not surprised :-) as a Jewish co-worker told me decades ago:

Roses are red, violets are bluish,
if it wasn't for Christmas, we'd all be Jewish.

[right way right]

I guess we’ll all know tomorrow.
When he finally does show, all will know and all will mourn for assorted reasons.

I’ve always been told that a Red Sox vs. Cubs series would TRULY be the proof that the apocalypse was about to start. One would HAVE to win, and then its dogs and cats sleeping together....

But he does say in 2nd Peter 3 that he’ll destroy it by fire,” McCann said.

too soon.dropping context: no signs in the sky,no seals opened,no rapture,no scrolls opened,and no second coming of Christ,yet

You know, the only real question here is how that f’ing Obama can blame it on one or more of the following:

1. Global Warming.
2. The NRA.
3. The Tea Party.
4. Extremist right-wing Republicans.
5. A video that insults Mo-ham-head (piss be upon him).
6. Ted Cruz.
7. Anybody but Obama.
