Local Man Fired After Visions of the End of the World (Knoxville, Tn)
WVLT TV ^ | 11-14-05 | UPN

Posted on 11/15/2005 7:51:34 AM PST by emiller

A Farragut man who said the end of the world would begin on Friday, has been fired from his job at Knology after going public with it.

John Gilmore had run the East Tennessee operations for phone, cable, and internet company Knology.

He'd predicted five big cities in the US would face economic collapse.

He now says he has no hard feelings toward knology, and understands why it let him go.

"In the end I view it as a resignation. I feel God is calling me to do other things. I've said this before but a couple of months ago he told me I wasn't going to work anymore."

I thought the guy was wrong, it was supposed to be last Friday, and that's why he was fired.

If the world is ending next week, why is he still reporting to work anyway?
