What the Future Brings...Rapture?
What the Future Brings...Rapture?
Today's title quote on The Board: "Look out for the future, because you never know what it might bring…"
Is that some kind of subtle joke? Since it is... May 21st... the end and all.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
I'll be super bummed if the rapture happens today. I have a date. But hey, maybe we'll go together. "It's a rapture party, and I'm supposed to bring an eternal companion. Care to join me?"
How sweet.
How sweet.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Does anyone know what time of day the rapture should happen at? Cuz Yellow and I are doing a bunch of house hunting today while Dragon Baby naps at Grandma's house. I'd rather be with her during the rapture. Y'know, it just seems appropriate for it to be a family affair.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Oh, nevermind. I found it. 6 pm. But according to that, I don't need to worry about it since I'm Mormon. So instead I'll just go to Stake Conference.
Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
I guess I don't need to worry about it either. That's good, because it was going to throw off all of my evening plans. I'm planning to play "rapture the rag" (I haven't decided on the rules yet but it'll be like capture the flag), watch 2012 and Armageddon, eat, drink and be merry . . .Dragon Lady wrote:Oh, nevermind.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
I think it's rather convenient that the rapture is happening at 6 pm local time. Everywhere. The world will erupt in earthquakes at everyone's 6 pm local time. If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is!
Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Yeah, how would that work anyway? Would the earth quake just "do the wave" and roll from time zone to time zone?

What local time is used up in the International Space Station? Do they get to decide for themselves? I hope they take video from their angle.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Hey, mods! Could we get this moved to a Rapture thread? I get the feeling that this is going to turn into much non-randomness. And thus far it's fun enough that I'd like to see it keep going.

(All things are possible with ... okay, I can't remember the quote. But it's possible that the laws of time can break at the end of the world.)
Re: What the Future Brings...Rapture?
You know, the laws of time probably will have to break at the end of the world to fit everything together.
In other news, this morning I woke up with the hymn "Come, Ye Children of the Lord" in my head. Too bad I'm not in charge of picking the hymns this week because that would be very fitting.
How many hymns have the word "rapture" in them, out of curiosity?

Well, it's past 6pm Uganda time, so I think I'm okay!

Re: What the Future Brings...Rapture?
Actually, I think that means you're not okay if you're still here. But it's 9:15 here, so I got left behind, too. We can watch that Kirk Cameron movie for some post-rapture survival tips.Emiliana wrote:Well, it's past 6pm Uganda time, so I think I'm okay!

Here you go. I love the two hugely bearded guys puffing out fireballs at the two swat team ninjas firing bullets right through them.

Re: What the Future Brings...Rapture?
Hooray! We… survived? But no earthquakes! So I'm good.
Re: What the Future Brings...Rapture?
Pssh, that's not even remotely accurate. Everyone knows the end of the world will be broadcast on FOX, not CNN.Digit wrote:Here you go. I love the two hugely bearded guys puffing out fireballs at the two swat team ninjas firing bullets right through them.
