End of the world is much sooner than we think

From Jacksonville to Tampa, Florida (CNN) -- If you thought you had less than three perfectly healthy months to live, what would you do? Would you travel? Spend time with loved ones? Appreciate the joy life has given you?

Or would you ditch your kids and grandkids, join strangers in a caravan of RVs and travel the country warning people about the end of the world?

If you're Sheila Jonas, that's exactly what you'd do.

"This is so serious, I can't believe I'm here," says Jonas, who's been on the road since fall. Like her cohorts, she's "in it 'til the end," which she believes is coming in May.

She won't talk about her past because, "There is no other story. ... We are to warn the people. Nothing else matters."

Such faith and concern drove her and nine others, all loyal listeners of the Christian broadcasting ministry Family Radio, to join the radio station's first "Project Caravan" team.

They walked away from work, families and communities in places as far-flung as California, Kansas, Utah and New Jersey. Among them are an electrician, a TV satellite dish installer, a former chef, an international IT consultant and a man who had worked with the developmentally disabled.

I love this crazy topsy-turvy world!

There are people who still believe anything...

I highly doubt that the Radio Station Ministers or whoever brainwashed that shit into them for a second believe this shite.

I believe it could be more of a test of their control over the gullible, vulnerable and downright stupid, and the extent of said people's faith in what their spiritual leaders tell them. If true, I fear this serves as a preliminary for further, albeit less dramatic, exploitation to further the religious establishment's own political agendas.

Funny, yes, but it might all have a darker aspect - just like other religious establishments have successfully turned people into zombie fighters and suicide bombers by the very same type of exploitation of the same types of people.

Does this mean I don't need to pay my mortgage?

Does this mean I don't need to pay my mortgage?

Yes. But you should pay mine, as a gesture of good will. The Karma will pay you back.

So, what will cause the end of the world when the end of the world doesn't come in May?

 

[Tittyman5000]

Stock up for the Y2K 2.0

 

[Petra]

This guy predicted the end in the 90s I think...didn't happen then, highly doubt it's happening this time around.

 

[magicspore]

They got the dates wrong , its 21st dec 2012 IIRC. But im glad if they are feeling like their lives have a meaning now even they are grossly off the mark

 

[Rasho]

I don't mind dying, as long as I don't die alone. If the whole world is coming with me, then bring on death!

 

[Rane1071]

Well, I suppose if they keep saying it, they maybe right sooner or later :tinhat:

 

[tartanterrier]

Bring it on

 

[vodkazvictim]

You laugh at them now, but what if they're right? :tinhat:

 

[Justanothergirl]

Yikes.

 

[Mauser98k]

if these people commit mass suicide thinking the world is gonna end, i think that makes the rest of us just a bit safer

 

[tiger1977]

And I thought Marshall Applewhite had it right.

 

[LukeEl]

Finally the lizard people will make their selves known!

 

[CunningStunts]

Live it up fuckers... Manbearpig will destroy us all soon with his seething wrath.

 

[Rane1071]

Live it up fuckers... Manbearpig will destroy us all soon with his seething wrath.

Are you serial? or super serial? ... No, were reaching a tipping point with all these reality shows. Soon there'll be one too many, which will cause an Entropy Cascade which will distort reality so much the world will implode. :tinhat: All Hail Youtube :bowdown:
