It seems the end of the world is nigh. In the city of Melbourne placard waving Christians were espousing the good news (for some) is it the end are we to see the rapture as biblical scholars tell us or are they just another bag of peanut?
For the heads up read  and add your views. If all is well then damn I have work next week and if not well the landlord can go jump in he lake (of fire) he ain't getting squat

I like to remind these Christians what is in their own Bibles:

QuoteMatthew 24:36-44 (New International Version)

    36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

   42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
My heaven is to be with him always.

True enough.  Actually, I was responding to the post above yours.  Even though I'm not Christian, (or even monotheistic) there's no sense in tarring them with the acts of what's really a very specific branch.

Monty python Life of Brian showed it perfectly people are gullible, will believe anything and just think hell would be stuck with these bozos for eternity.

There is also reference in the Bible to be aware of false prophets many will claim such things but will only be looking at profits from them .

fear and loathing and the nashing of teeth I guess it is funny that my work place only offered me shifts up till Saturday 4pm this week, no Sunday..Do they know something?

The part that worries me the most is that there are people who are financially ruining themselves over this fringe lunacy and probably seriously screwing over their family in the long-term. I can't dredge up the article at the moment for some odd reason, but Yahoo ran an article about it that did a short interview with a family with a small child who budgeted all of their money so that come May 21st, they would be completely broke because they didn't think they would need it after that.

The good news is, looks like I'll be getting a promotion on the 23rd when I find I'm the only one left at work!

On that note, I'm now hoping that we don't have any Heaven's Gate flashbacks.   :-\

A bit off topic but I remember when the priest at my family church told me my dog lacked an immortal soul. Way to go Catholicism; emotionally scarring one eleven year old at a time. Catholicism= always winning.

So here's a question:  Does the Rapture all happen at the same time?  Is it corrected for time zones?  What about places like Australia, where it's tomorrow already?

According to the link, New Zealand will know first and the show begins at 11PM PST...That's 1AM CST/2AM EST for the rest of us who'd like to tune in to the wreckage -- just in time to have your last drink!

So those of us with friends Down Under will be first to know it's a hoax, too d ;D b

New Zealand is four hours ahead of me so does that mean I have to wait longer or will it be all over before we get any action. Australia is often left out.

I believe the rapture has been expected since shortly after Jesus's death.

As it happens it's a doctrine invented in the US (or rather the Massachusetts Bay Colony, at the time) by Increase & Cotton Mather. So those who believe in it have only been expecting it since about the beginning of the 18th century.

RubySlippers

I ,as an ordained cleric in the Universal Life Church, confer upon all members of this site a perpetual indulge for all sins from now until the end of eternity, and therefore free of taint before Gods eyes in the name of Jesus.

In case that is not want you want I do the same thing for the realm of Lucifer assuring a nice spot in Hell maybe with air conditioning and a nice red light district around you with top entertainments in Lucifers name.

There all taken care of.

For me my companion and I are going to be getting together for one hell of a lay just in case might as well go out with a smile and exhausted sweaty body in the arms of my lover.

I may have gotten mixed up. I may have been think of the return of Jesus instead.

Oh the Rapture!!
  Such a mindfuck. Our true purpose here is not to live in fear if any God. Yet, to break all the binding man made fears we have been led through generations to control us. We each have higher purposes.  Our world is about to change, yet not in the biblical way. Our consciousness is going to become awoken and we are all going to move forward. I have seen many dates come to pass of this ' rapture". Saturday will also bring us into Sunday, and on Monday, we will all wake up and go to work. Fear, is a great weapon.

At least those familiar with it can look on it with some indulgence for the village idiot. Further east you'd get blank stares (pre-explanation) and a twirling finger at temple level (post-explanation). Ils sont fous, ces Romains!

As always, there are business opportunities to be made:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13468131

QuoteAn atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.

He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.

They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. "Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds."


Me and mine are going to see Wagner's  The Valkyrie by video link to a movie theatre on Sunday, so I would be mightily miffed if the Met, and the internet, has been knocked for six by then. Plus, we would all be punished for disgracing Sunday by watching an opera involving heathen gods and heroes.  ;)

For the end of the world party i have listed a few songs that can be played

Rapture by Blondie
The End of The World As We Know It  by REM
Lake of Fire  by Nirvana
Raise Me Up by Westlife
Deadman's Party by Oingo Boingo
Waiting For The End of The World by Elvis Costello

I have my deck chair on the balcony and a few mates and pizza and so on ready to watch the fireworks show, but I figure it will just end up as always watching the guy over the road mow his lawn and the mates checking out the form of the ladies strolling by. Either way my Saturday night Sunday is sorted

Of course i'm going to look stupid if it happens huh?

I always found the idea of the Seventh Day Adventists, that God would have made it the key point of recognition to see which day of the week He is worshipped on, an amazing notion. Since 99% of Christians settled for Sunday, they must be condemned on the last day: they were one day out of sync for two thousand years! I remember reading in the Bible that "a thousand years are like one day to you, Lord" but apparently in this one, a lag of one day at the outset is all-important.  ::)

We could always look at it as a celebration of the fact that we're not dead.  That might put it in a more positive light.

I'm amazed by the human tendency to attach artificial significance or meaning to numbers, whether round numbers like 10, 100, 1000, a million, etc., or repeating numbers like 7 in this case.

If there is a Creator, I think that it is clear that He doesn't favor round numbers.  Heck, just look at Pi. Or e.


Oniya

I've mentioned this on another thread, but once you start deciding that a number is 'significant', then you start noticing it everywhere.  Heck, if I were to decide that the color orange was significant, then I would tend to start noticing it more.  Even if the number/color didn't naturally occur in a situation, I'd start coming up with ways that it was related.  (In the 'orange' example - the sky is blue, and if you take the other two primary colors and mix them, you get orange.  Ooooh, scary!)

Except the three primary colors are red, blue, and green, and the color opposite the color wheel of blue is yellow >_>

Which is why the Sun looks yellowish on Earth, but white in space.

In light the three primaries are Red, Blue and Green (the additive color wheel), but in pigment they are Red, Blue and Yellow (the subtractive color wheel) ;).  In pigment, blue's complement is orange.  There we go Oniya, orange is everywhere!

Which is what I was going with - and yes, I know that light is subtractive and would make more sense to use with anything relating to the color of the sky, but it only goes further to prove that these sort of 'X is everywhere' coincidences can rely on selective fact-usage.

Great pics, Wyrd, especially the Macho Man one - and you can't help wonder if "know the Lord" means something rather different when it's Biblical knowledge we're talking about - as in "Abraham knew his wife" (not wishing to insult Christians in general here, but then the vast majoirty of Christians don't pretend to know the future as a fact through prophesy).

The question was primary colors, in pigments they are red, yellow and blue. And very specific hues of the three as well. All other colors can be made from a mixture of these. It took me 4 years of art school to learn that. In light, the colors are different, red, blue, and green.

Printers use cyan, yellow, and magenta, and black usually. I believe that it is probably because of their transparency. Printers may use a lot more colors as well, thus 3 color, 4 color, 5 color and 6 color runs of the press. The more colors the more accurate the reproduction.

It's because it's a fact that, for the human eye, the CMYK model produces the widest possible gamut from three non-black colors. They correspond to absorbing a specific wavelength of light that the eye sees. Cyan pigments absorb red light. Magenta pigments absorb green light. Yellow pigments absorb blue light. A non-CMY primary will have a weakness in one region of the color spectrum (but it's stronger in another e.g. reds and yellows for RYB - important since 89% of our color vision is red and green). Painters also have white on their color wheel which they can use to lighten colors. Printers just need to dither for that.

My printer has five colors (plus black). The extra two are light cyan and light magenta, in order to produce lighter colors than CMYK typically allows. This sort of thing is why printers don't want you to submit things in CMYK necessarily.

On what basis? Fraud? The major problem with that would be proving that Camping knew what he was claiming was false. I actually think Camping almost certainly believed his own delusions.

You know, I almost added that they are turquoise, acid yellow and fuschia, because as a dyer I cannot make turquoise from 'primary' blue, or acid yellow from primary yellow dyes, but didn't want to confuse people ;).  I agree with you completely.  In fact, when I teach my design classes at my university, I give both pigment primary models, because you generally do not see CYM listed as primaries in art textbooks, but it's far easier to mix colors using it as starting place. 

There's a really interesting book on color that came out recently, where the author spent the time to figure out where the traditional pigments sit on the color wheel in terms of their optical qualities.  Then he figured out how they correspond to serveral common brands of artist's paints in order to facilitate the mixing of true neutrals.  His name is Stephen Quiller, and the book is Color Choices: Making Sense Out of Color Theory.  It's a fun read for artists, and very useful for color mixing.

Camping is holding firm that the world will end by October. Apparently he said something along the lines of God not wanting to punish the world with five months of destruction.

Quote"We've always said October 21 was the day," Camping said during his show. "The only thing we didn't understand was the spirituality of May 21. We're seeing this as a spiritual thing happening rather than a physical thing happening. The timing, the structure, the proofs, none of that has changed at all."

However, Camping said his group would not be mounting another advertising push. In the months leading up to May 21, Family Radio billboards popped up across the country, warning that the end was near. -Source

Any advice to the sheeple that blew all their finances '5 months early?'

In the same article, he says:

QuoteReporters who were allowed to ask questions during the broadcast Monday pressed Camping on this issue, but he would not admit that he bore any blame for his followers' predicaments.

"I don't have any responsibility. I'm only teaching the Bible. I'm telling ... this is what the Bible says. I don't have spiritual rule over anybody ... except my wife as the head of the household."

He must have spilled something over Matthew 24:36... ::)
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

Hey, just because my birthday is the day before, means it is reason to feel like it is in the end of the world. A end of the world hangover is nothing like the actual end of the world! Just saying!

I spent almost a half hour yesterday talking to an old woman who was extremely disappointed this thing didnt go off. She's my neighbor, and shes really a sweet, kind old woman (who will never, EVER shut up once she starts talking, but cutting her off makes  you feel like you just kicked a puppy, so), and she was letting me borrow her vacuum cleaner. While we were chatting, a news byte came on about this thing and she went on for nearly twenty minutes about how sad it was that it didnt happen (but of course, also beating the whole Matthew reference to death over and over, as so many have by now). Her whole family (and mine too, sadly) believe in a coming rapture, but thankfully none of them actually bought this shit. Still, its really sort of horrifying to be reminded that I'm basically living in a community with a bunch of people who WANT the frickin world to end. And people wonder why i don't like getting out more and want to move...

You beat me to it!   XD

I used this as a teaching moment with a student who brought it up.  "Always, always check your work," I advised.
My heaven is to be with him always.

Sometimes, the long, brown and sticky thing is really a stick! ;D
