I stick with the Mayan calendar that says Dec 21, 2012... until then. It obviously cant end May 21, theres a big car show here. Ive heard about it though. What I heard is the exact time of 6pm and it happens by your time zone... which automaticly discounts it to me.

Well, I guess it will be fun to listen to Camping's radio show on the 21st, if nothing else.
XB, Not a coversion try, just a fact thing. You said;
quote
As far as I'm concerned, the Bible is nothing more than another book, written by another MAN.
It was actually written by many men over about a 1600 year period (From Moses - first five books ca.1500BC - through John's writing of Revelation ca 70 - 100AD), which makes its internal consistency (Not writing style, but doctrine) all that more amazing. Some would think more than coincidence.
BTW, I am one of the "some" Christians who think Harold Camping is is full of solid waste. The end of the world is no excuse to suddenly start acting like a good person, nor is it the excuse to suddenly start talking to your neighbor about end of life issues.

scroll down on the page a bit...it all starts approx. 44 AD.... amazing
William Miller was the founder of an end-times movement that was so prominent it received its own name-- Millerism. From his studies of the Bible, Miller determined that the second coming would happen sometime between 1843-1844. A spectacular meteor shower in 1833 gave the movement a good push forward. The build up of anticipation continued until March 21, 1844, when Miller's one year time table ran out. Some followers set another date of Oct 22, 1844. This too failed, collapsing the movement. One follower described the days after the failed predictions, "The world made merry over the old Prophet's predicament. The taunts and jeers of the 'scoffers' were well-nigh unbearable."
On May 23, 1844, in Shiraz, Persia, a young man known as the Báb announced the imminent appearance of the Messenger of God awaited by all the peoples of the world. The title Báb means "the Gate." Although Himself the bearer of an independent revelation from God, the Báb declared that His purpose was to prepare mankind for this advent.
In His writings, the Báb alluded to the imminent coming of the Promised One foretold in all the world's religions -- a role claimed by Bahá'u'lláh (a title that means "the Glory of God" ). "This is the King of Days," Bahá'u'lláh thus extols the age that has witnessed the advent of His Revelation, "the Day that hath seen the coming of the Best-beloved, Him Who through all eternity hath been acclaimed the Desire of the World." "I am the One," He in another connection affirms, "Whom the tongue of Isaiah hath extolled, the One with Whose name both the Torah and the Evangel were adorned." Of Himself, He wrote: "Naught is seen in My temple but the Temple of God, and in My beauty but His Beauty, and in My being but His Being, and in My self but His Self, and in My movement but His Movement, and in My acquiescence but His Acquiescence, and in My pen but His Pen, the Mighty, the All-Praised. There hath not been in My soul but the Truth, and in Myself naught could be seen but God." And of His mission, He said:
And when the entire creation was stirred up, and the whole earth was convulsed, and the sweet savors of Thy name, the All-Praised, had almost ceased to breathe over Thy realms, and the winds of Thy mercy had well-nigh been stilled throughout Thy dominions, Thou didst, through the power of Thy might, raise me up among Thy servants, and bid me to show forth Thy sovereignty amidst Thy people. Thereupon I arose before all Thy creatures, strengthened by Thy help and Thy power, and summoned all the multitudes unto Thee, and announced unto all Thy servants Thy favors and Thy gifts, and invited them to turn towards this Ocean, every drop of the waters of which crieth out, proclaiming unto all that are in heaven and on earth that He is, in truth, the Fountain of all life, and the Quickener of the entire creation, and the Object of the adoration of all worlds, and the Best-Beloved of every understanding heart, and the Desire of all them that are nigh unto Thee.
The Bahá’à Calendar
Every new religion has brought its own calendar, and the Bahá’à Faith is no exception. The Bahá’à calendar begins on 21 March, the vernal equinox, and divides the year into 19 months of 19 days each. There are nine holy days in the Bahá’à year on which Bahá’Ãs suspend work to commemorate various events in the Faith’s history, such as the birth of Bahá’u’lláh and the martyrdom of the Báb. The announcement of Bahá’u’lláh’s Revelation is celebrated during a twelve-day festival known as Ridvan, at the end of April and beginning of May. With the division of the year into 19 months, four intercalary days are needed. These days occur at the end of February and are celebrated as a gift-giving time known as Ayyám-i-Há.

Yeah, the math behind it :P I saw that when I googled it a week or so ago. I found it interesting Christian based radio stations are swearing it's real!
Do you think it's possible for me to run away from judgement day with a fast enough Fiero? If hell is supposed to take over, can demons catch a 3800sc fiero?

In peices, but after gettings everything all setup and purring like a kitten, I dont want to take too much stuff off. Took the legs off (80 lbs) took the gantry (top bar the router goes onto) and wiring (another 100lbs) and rails (70lbs) and still have about 400lbs worth of table
The machine is about 6 ftx 10ft so the table base stripped down is 6x10x2'

Don't be disappointed. Judgment Day did indeed arrive. The wife is mad at me, . The deadline was 5:00PM central time. There is still time for you to repent, .

No, it actually was to arrive at 6pm local time everywhere in the world. Apparently God wanted to stick with internation time zones to avoid confusion.
which automaticly discounts it to me.
