we are a joking family. My kids have a very good sense of humor. They can handle it with no therapy.
Trust me.

I am glad to hear that.....(I was wrong) and I apologize.....have a great time!

I think this entire thing is just an elaborate practical joke. Jesus whispers in the ear of some nutjob. "Second Coming on such-and-such a date. Pass it on." And then he and God have a jolly laugh while they watch the hijinks.

By the way, for those of you who think the nutjobs in question slink away after the whole thing fails: Even the most cursory search will show that this has been going on for centuries. If anything, they're even more delusional afterward. They just admit that they miscalculated, and back to Bidness as Usual. Their followers don't drift away to find a less delusional prophet; they just accept the nutjob's word and go right on. It's hard for independent thinkers like us to understand that. But there it is....

You want to scare your kids?.....why.....do you want them to be paranoid and afraid?....grow up scared and insecure.....having to go to a therapist?......I'm just saying.

...maybe he wants to teach them that just because a few loons say something does not make it so....I'm just saying.

Saturday is my daughter's party for her Holy Communion. Perhaps I should dig some holes on the lawn, throwing in some of my Halloween boneyard decorations on top of the dirt for some good measure, some old clothes as suggested above, and a note saying, "The Lord Has Cometh."

And abandon my house for the day.

It would save me a whole hell of a lot of $ for the party. I guess as long as I take the booze with me wherever I go.

Edit: Oh, and I am obviously a Catholic, but do not believe that anyone knows the date. However, my 16 year old daughter is trying to convince me that the Family Radio people may be onto something.



If we live our lives like EVERY DAY is our last, what's the problem?

If the bible states no man will know the hour or day, why all this hype regarding the 21st? I am obviously out of the loop. I have also been hearing about some event happening on the 20th in DC. Can anyone enlighten me???

that is the key. My dad always told me to live every day as if it was your last, but know that it probably isn't.

I can become a born-again christian tomorrow, a day before judgement, and possibly get a free pass (possibly not, but still valid since some christians believe you can pray to clean your sins). Or, if I knew far ahead of time, I can spend all of last year with hookers and bs'ing all day, and spend all of this year in church.

That's why we cant know the end. We all are supposed to be caught off guard. Like the op said in the title, "act busy", which is like the boss coming to check that his employees are working, he wont announce it, he will come quietly and unexpectedly.

Why all the hype? Because it sells tickets - big time!
You won't want to miss this movie.
