Isn't the world supposed to be ending today?

[Kayless]

Some Crackpot got the date wrong in May but today is apparently the real date. Are these nutters just harmless fools or do they do any actual damage?

[rov1100]

The world will end sometime! About 4.5billion years hence.

The Jehovah Witnesses have got it wrong on 8 previous occassions.
, but they still claim that prophesies in the bible are valid.

[joggerjayne]

But the JW's interpret The Bible quite literally, don't they?

[Kayless]

thanks the advice flobadob but I think the end of the world is a sort of serious subject, it is also in the news. Chatterbank seems full of inane ramblings so forgive me for preferring not to go there.

[modeller]

Yes jogger but you would think after getting it wrong 8 times they would at least start to doubt it. I think at their last conference they at last declined to give another date, but those that knock on my door still say its imminent .

[boxtops]

I'd say this is in the right topic - it's news for some.

[glasman]

Ah, well, when somebody does get it right, who'll be around to thank him?

[sandyRoe]

Perhaps it has and we're all now experiencing the delights of rapture

[sallybb]

Is it, well I've been dieting all week. What was the point of that?
Have I got time to go to Tesco's to get some Doughnuts, as comfort food ,before the end happens.

THE story is told of a boy who watched the sheep of the villagers. To stir up a bit of excitement, one day he cried out, “Wolf! Wolf!” when there was no wolf. The villagers rushed out with clubs to drive off the wolf, only to find that there was none. It was such great fun that later on the boy repeated his cry. Again the villagers rushed out with their clubs, only to discover that it was another false alarm. After that a wolf did come, and the boy sounded the warning, “Wolf! Wolf!” but the villagers dismissed his cry as another false alarm. They had been fooled too often.
So it has become with those who proclaim the end of the world. Down through the centuries since Jesus’ day, so many unfulfilled predictions have been made that many no longer take them seriously.

[flobadob]

Come on people, this story cannot be classed as news. Even stick it into S&C or R&S but not news. It has no validating qualities, and no one outside of these stupid followers of this guy will have taken it seriously.

Is a guy standing in that corner in London, declaring a daily end to the world, is that news? Nor is this.

Oh is that why some Jehvah's Witness rang the doorbell at some unholy time this morning? I smiled sweetly in my dressing gown and added his contribution to the recycling pile.

[starone]

I think this means I am the figment of something's imagination and so are you all.

[flobadob]

I don't think you can be the figment of someones imagination starbuck, though we can be figments of yours.

[starone]

Oh - so it's that "I think, therefore I am" business is it?

They usually sit next to me on the bus

[flobadob]

I'm not saying that you are doing the thinking, just that you are aware of the thoughts.
