    ^ they did but it has long past. Funny thing is, can't get into their web-site at all now (familyradio.com). They must have turned off the lights on Friday.

    The are taking a low profile, reports say.

    Seriously, I feel for the staff of Family Radio as I expect them to get the brunt of a sharp downfall in donations.

    We had an earthquake (3.6 mild one) about 10 miles from the Oakland radio station. Had me worried for about 1.5 seconds.

    Surely they were bright enough to ask for pay in advance, and expected to be looking for a job come Monday, regardless of outcome.

    How many places do that?

    Somehow I doubt you would be that hard on employees of Lehman Bros., GM, Chrysler....

    The group had a very large investment portfolio. If they didn't spend it all on this publicity, they don't need jobs.

    I did! And my knee hurts so much today that I'm worried I got raptured the wrong way. Anybody else?

    I just did a measly 15 miles (after a dip, before a jog). It did not look like the field was thinned out any due to previous days events.....thus ending my hope for finishing first. Of course, that would have meant a lot (and I mean a lot) of rapturing.

    I guess the good news is that you did not have a flat.

    It might be due to you using the wrong URL. The correct one is: http://www.familyradio.org

    Internet blocking here at work prevents me from knowing if the links within their site are still working.

    I think the rapture happened, but since there really aren't any Christians, everyone stayed.

    It's familyradio.com, not .org.

    Here's Camping's "proof" for the May 21st date - one of the most incoherent, naive, idiotic, misguided, stupid, ignorant expositions I've ever seen. His thesis is riven to shreds with unsubstantiated premises made up out of thin air; even were his syllogisms sound he hasn't demonstated anything beyond the fact that he's an intellectual imbecile.

    But look for yourself. What's more troubling than Camping's believing his own bilge is so many others incapable of seeing this for the unalloyed garbage it is.

    21 October 2011 fer shure!

    Actually, Christ returned in 1947 and established His Kingdom on Earth at a former almond ranch near Pescadero, California. Since then all else has been tribulation.

    ah ... see? therein lies the quandary grasshapah ... isn't the belief in nothing also a faith based belief ... and if so ... is it possible to truly have freedom *from* religion? Or is it that we seek freedom *from* the respect of religion by making all others just like us? and if so, isn't that the very thing we find most appalling about religion?
