It sounds like he might have spent some time here reading the forums for the ideas this group had.

Everyone?? C'mon now. You know that's not true.

2012 doom is worse though because it's so pervasive on a world wide basis and goes back a good many years. It's almost become a cultural knowledge IMO at this point. Everyone knows the date is important and bad to hear at least some talk out there.
With regards to any sort of Astronomical/Universal type of event, not a dam thing is going to happen.

I have no idea what may happen...though I'd imagined it would be space based for time frames involved and while Space is a BIG place, it's not THAT big for anything supposedly having any effect within this time frame.
I just don't know anymore?
Ridiculous misinterpretations and inaccurate translations made by undereducated men of today, is not even close to being the same thing as a Failed Mayan Prediction.

Maybe the Mayans were just crappy at prediction and it's nothing but a boo-boo. They found the version with the error. Wouldn't that be the ultimate bad joke?

Because they are delusional or they so strongly believe the world will end that it doesnt matter anymore.

They also seem to have taken their website offline as of 2012, after having gathered their doomsday flock.
his is the only video I found about the group. I found it by googling the name of the cult leader. Its a TV-documentary. Unfortunately its in German. If anyone wants to tell us what its about, be my guest. The video shows the compound they lived at.
If they believe the world is about to end,I can understand them wanting to spend their last days on a Caribbean island (sounds nice anyway) but I can`t get my head around them wanting bullet-proof vests and large-calibre weapons,hows that going to help them don`t they believe its the end of the world!
