    I don't have cats!

    What does it say about bunnies, dogs, birds and fish? Actually, they can have the fish. Then I'll finally be rid of them. ;)

    Oh crap, was that out loud? :eek:

    You're going to get raptured?

    Apparently, people are selling all their possessions, cashing in pensions, etc. A news commentator mentioned one of the faithful is expecting a baby in early June, but he didn't know what she was planning to do about that. I hope she doesn't do something stupid.

    No, I won't get raptured, I'm just wondering if my animals will. After all, they're pure and innocent. Well, maybe not Chewy. He dug a hole in the yard. That's far from innocent. ;)

    No, God has has a different plan for the animals. I'm in that plan too.

    Reminds me of a Dennis the Menace comic I saw once. Dennis is looking at his dog Ruff and telling Joey, "Dogs don't have to go to church because they're already good."

    Works for me!

    I still say that I refuse to believe that any just God would make me wait 10 years to get pregnant, then schedule the Rapture before I give birth.

    Though the hubby was laughing at me the other day--I'm due 4 days after the Rapture date of 10/21. He says that the birth of our child is probably what's going to cause it all.

    So... I can't remember at this point if I'm giving birth to Christ reborn or to the Anti-christ if that's the case. I need more coffee before I can figure that out.

    That wasn't God's fault.

    See?

    I TOLD you I needed more coffee!

    (The lack of coffee during this pregnancy is seriously depleting my brain cells. I actually KNEW that--and completely screwed it up in my post. Can I just skip work and go back to bed?)

    Well, we know you (and me and Alty and probably J9) won't get raptured. If on that day you hear *swoosh* and people near you suddenly disappear, we're in trouble. If you don't hear anything, continue dreaming of steaming cups of freshly brewed coffee.

    Since I had started this thread, I pretty much don't believe it so much anymore-however, I still can't help those little "what-if" thoughts that flow through my brain as time gets nearer. My oldest daughter is going to a concert that day, I'd hate to scare myself so much as to tell her she can't go because we all need to be together just in case. She is only 13, and totally believes it all to be BS. She's like I don't care if it's the last day mom, at least I'll be happy at the (I think it's Tim McGraw) concert!. I think I'll be somewhat of a nervous wreck that day... At least until midnight hits... Isn't it supposed to happen like around 6:00? Does anyone know if that 6:00 is central/Easter/Western time zone??

    It won't happen. No what-ifs. I hope your daughter enjoys the concert!!

    I'll look forward to a happy post from you on the 22nd.

    The worst part of this LIE is the effect it has on nice people like you.

    You are so right. I heard that Camping followers are selling everything they own and cashing in their investments.

    Even worse, I hear they are just leaving it all behind, even their families!

    You know what I think is hilarious?

    If God is the one I believe in (since all gods are one god, and all goddesses one goddess--we just call them by different names), it won't matter if I've paid my lip service to the Christian church. I've lived my life as a good human being and have tried to give more love than I get. If loving others and doing what I can to take care of them--emotionally, physically, spiritually--is NOT what gets you into heaven, and instead it is some religious dogma crap--well, I don't want to be there anyway.

    I never got why a loving god needs to be worshipped so much. The ego!

    I really kind of think that Piers Anthony got it right in the Incarnations of Immortality books.
