April 19, for example, is the anniversary of the raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas; the Oklahoma City bombing; and the raid on white separatist Randy Weaver's home at Ruby Ridge, Idaho.
But, two of those "ominous" April 19 events were perpertrated by the FBI. Who should we really be afraid of here?
Another thing. Whenever a newspaper article ties into the bible or christianity they go out of there way to find the kookiest examples possible. Like his unnamed web site that declared 2006 to be "the year of the beast". I'd almost bet he made that up.
The thing that bothers me the most about this article is that he sets up a premise, then consults and "expert":
Ellis, the institute's research and program coordinator, said he has seen nothing to indicate anything bad will happen June 6.
And
Laird Wilcox, a Kansas-based expert on domestic extremist groups, believes dates can be overemphasized. He cites in particular the concern about the year 2000.
And then despite his premise being knocked down he makes a thinly veiled attempt to suggest that "white supremacists, racists, and conspiracy and prophecy theorists" and "paramilitary religious group known as the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord" are christian groups.
any minute now, we will have the nostradum BS hitting the sidewalks...
At 56.78 seconds past 12:34 am every day - a puppy dies.
They also say we're all gonna be killed by a comet on May 26th so who cares?.....:))
Y2K redux. Is your bunker still stocked up?
What is this "Mark of the Breast"?
My youngest was going to graduate from high school on 6-6-06, but then I guess the school board realized some people might object and changed it to the 8th. LOL!
Who knows? Maybe we will deport 666 ILLEGALS that day?

I thought 2010 was the big year ... the year we make Contact and Jupiter implodes into a new star.
I graduated from high school on or near June 6, 1966 (6/6/66). Nothing happened. Except, how many were killed in Vietnam that day?
DDD
Trust me, nothing of a Biblical nature is going to happen on 6-6-06.
Doesn't the '0' screw up the sequence.
One would think that a '666' anti-Christ purist would be more fearful of June 6, 66 A.D. or would have to wait until June 6, 6666 A.D. for dreaded doom.
But even THAT is not pure '666' evil because technically there are four 6's.
A bunch of Nazis worrying about a repeat of D Day?

Back then everybody was looking forward to June 9, 1969, that was the really big DATE!!
