Predicting the End: The Scientific Truth Behind the Rapture

  • Thread starter turbo

In summary, Rhody is worried that the rapture will happen and he's not fit for heaven, Valhalla, or the Christian heaven. He's also worried that he won't be able to attend the rapture chat because he has a meeting at 6pm. At the chat, he's excited to see which members disappear at 6PM, just a scientific experiment. He's out of the chat at the end because he's going to a meeting. There will be a radio show about the rapture tomorrow, and Rhody hopes to hear it online.

I think that perhaps you have a pulled a fast one on me and I have egg on my face.

Well played.

Interestingly and perhaps not coincidentally, I did receive a visit from my friends who are Jehovah's Witnesses, and they made a point to read that line. I always enjoy their visits. :biggrin:

As far as I know, all predictions as to the end of the world being before today have been proven incorrect.
