US preacher warns end of the world is nigh: 21 May, around 6pm, to be precise
Quote :
The end of the world is nigh; 21 May, to be precise. That's the date when Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California, is confidently predicting the Second Coming of the Lord. At about 6pm, he reckons 2 per cent of the world's population will be immediately "raptured" to Heaven; the rest of us will get sent straight to the Other Place.
If Mr Camping were speaking from any normal pulpit, it would be easy to dismiss him as just another religious eccentric wrongly calling the apocalypse. But thanks to this elderly man's ubiquity, on America's airwaves and billboards, his unlikely Doomsday message is almost impossible to ignore.
Every day Mr Camping, an 89-year-old former civil engineer, speaks to his followers via the Family Radio Network, a religious broadcasting organisation funded entirely by donations from listeners. Such is their generosity (assets total $120m) that his network now owns 66 stations in the US alone.
I thought the Anti-christ had to come first and deceive everyone. Oh wait maybe this is the AC on the 21st!

Critics point out that this isn't the first time Mr Camping has predicted the second coming. On 6 September 1994, hundreds of his listeners gathered at an auditorium in Alameda looking forward to Christ's return.
"At that time there was a lot of the Bible I had not really researched very carefully," he said last week. "But now, we've had the chance to do just an enormous amount of additional study and God has given us outstanding proofs that it really is going to happen."
Lucky for us he has done some more research!

But one local fortune teller is taking it a step further: he’s predicted that a powerful earthquake will virtually destroy Taiwan on May 11th, 2011 (or in about 2 weeks from today). A small band of believers are so convinced by the accuracy of his fortune telling that they’ve begun building a series of fallout shelters to protect themselves from the coming tsunami. “Wang Laoshi” or Master Wang has also warned that Taiwan will be ripped in half, producing two separate islands.
/SNIP
Video news of the above prediction prior to the 11th. And Yep this kinda info makes the MSM in Taiwan.

Wang Chao-hung (王超弘), known as “Teacher Wang,” wrote on his blog last month that based on his studies of the Chinese classic I Ching (易經), also known as the Book of Changes, a magnitude 14 earthquake would hit Taiwan on May 11 at 10:42.37am.
Quote :
Kuo Kai-wen (郭鎧紋), director of the bureau’s seismology center, said the bureau received an average of three phone calls every day requesting the bureau to confirm their accurate earthquake predictions.
On the flipside I think its pretty cool that a country still has some firm footing in the other sense's in a major way, in this case though it was a tad bit silly. Read the whole article though as it shows how Taiwanese go about things which is awesome LOL
Sorry Mic not meaning to hijack your thread mate :)

May 21st Doomsday Songs: 21 Songs For The Impending Apocalypse (VIDEOS) The Huffington Post | Dean Praetorius First Posted: 05-19-11 09:07 AM | Updated: 05-19-11 09:07 AM
Harold Camping, the man behind the May 21, 2011, judgement day "campaign" is thoroughly convinced that the day marks the beginning of the end. Then again, he did get it wrong once before.
In any case, there's still a chance we're all doomed on Saturday (or at least 2012 for that matter - it's totally going to happen). So there's only one question left to ask.
What would you listen to as humanity came to an end? Hard rock? Classical? Something on the lighter side?
We've put together some of the quintessential end of the world songs below, but we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to tell us about your doomsday soundtrack below, but then again none of that's going to matter in a few days anyway.
sorry you'll hafta go to the link to hear them..

Jihad Mic:
I just imagined, after i saw the trucks role-up. What kind of circus the Mayans may have created, the world on fire. Only because of the pent-up anxiety, ??? after-party.
The thing that strikes me the most is; like with Christmass, at one side winter at the other summer.
So for me; i prefer autumn or spring, everything for the balance
