You need to go out and get some exercise, find some healthy hobbies, and find happy things to fill your life with rather than spending your entire life trying to find doomsday scenarios. When you wake up Saturday morning and your prediction turns out to be an overactive paranoid mind, take my advice, start living your life.
Thank you for your advice.

There simply isn't enough time, if it were a fact that it would happen, that near enough of the people could be evacuated.
So, we just have to take it all as it comes... and don't worry my man.... everything, even the worst of all scenarios, always work themselves out.edit on 22-4-2011 by alphabetaone because: (no reason given)

I see no reason for the OP to receive scorn or be bashed or even have to apologize...
Cos isnt this posted in the Predictions & Prophecies Forum?
If I am not mistaken, this is a Prediction/Prophecy ...Its not fear mongering... if that's the case, all Predictions/Prophecies are fear mongering... but I have NOT seen evidence to call it fear mongering...
The OP has the right to post any Prediction/Prophecy they see fit... so why demand an apology, when there is an actual forum for it? I've read hundreds of predictions on here, most I laugh at, I don't post and make fun of them, but in the convince of my own home I laugh and sometimes I laugh really hard...
but I didnt laugh this time... I am not saying I believe it... but as I have learned in my life, what harm is there in keeping an eye out? Cos one of these days, someone might just get it right... and a lil pre warning might save your life... with the Prediction that the OP gave us... I will use it as a bit of advice... don't make any impromptu trips to California or the lovely town of New Madrid, Missouri
At least the OP's prediction does have some basis to stand on... one of the more solid/believeable predictions i've read in a long time... the OP could have said "My sister's dog told me this would happen"
Instead the OP gave us something a lil more credible... many may see it as flawed, and its their god given right... as it is the OP's god given right to predict anything they want to...
On the 23rd of April we will know for sure... If the OP is wrong, we can go about our lives, just as we did on Y2K, March 15th and all those other dates everyone dreaded...
If the OP is right... then this website, this forum, this post... won't matter... Cos I know if the New Madrid Fault goes... I may think "Damn, Phantomfire707, was right!!!!" but then I assure you ATS will be the last thing on my mind... I'll be thinking about what to do next and I'll hope my position in Southeast Kentucky will be far enough away from the epicenter, that i'll only get just a few shakes... I'll hope my family who lives closer/deeper into the New Madrid Fault area is ok...
So in closing... take this prophecy as it is... its a prophecy it is not a guarantee! The OP is fairly convinced this will happen... but it is up to you and me, to decide on our own if the evidence that the OP has brought before us, is worthy of holding merit in our hearts and minds...
So why be so eager to lynch and make the OP apologize? That is senseless!

Yes, I've read Revelations many times. The problem with reading the Bible, you have to understand the context it was written in. If you don't understand Jewish customs and way of life 2000 years ago, then you can not understand the authors. I knew nothing of "sitting shiva" or "cockcrowing' and most Christians today have no dea what those things mean. I didn't understand the differences between Sadduces,Maccabees,Pharisees,Zadokites, Essenes, and other sects of Judiasm. It's impossible to understand the bible, without understanding their lives,traditions,etc. So I turn to outside sources that can explain these things. Many use bible study guides. Are you saying you've never used outside reading materials to help you understand the bible? I could spend all my life trying to comprehend what was written, but unfortunately, I live in the real world where we have to work, eat, play, and pay taxes.

So your concern is that if the OP is correct and the NM goes that you should be awake for the sake of your family. What exactly will your being awake accomplish? You going to defend them from the violent convulsions with mind bullets? Do you not think your family won't be awakened the second it happens?edit on 22-4-2011 by craposaurus because: clarify

I agree with that statement...
I personally think a lil humor goes a long ways...

and because I love my family, and if the OP is right, then shouldn't someone stay awake?
cos I'm not far from the New Madrid Fault line
