    if at first you dont succeed...Well..I understand the company who
    printed the book gave its employees yesterday off to be with their
    families.
    
    Mikie? did you really expect NORAD to tell you if they did see a
    bunch of blips on radar?
                                                 
    I predict it will be at 06:66 today!

    Well I'm still here even after the fully revised and newly updated(?)
    reports. I feel jipped i stayed up til 2pm to watch and nothing
    happend 'cept if you wanna count nothing as something?!?
    Now its next year? How many thousands have gone before this predicktor
    saying the end is going to be dd/mm/yy and that days comes and goes
    with their credibility and nothing has ever happend. Geez I just
    had a revelation what if the end has already came and the only people
    that would notice, left? Naw, Tammy and jim and oral would bring
    us the truth.

    I used to sit next to a Churchy type (at another company) that had
    a detailed PERT chart for the end of the world spread across his
    drafting board. Just during the time I that I followed it there
    were more schedule slides and revisions than the average DEC project.
    ;^)                                        
    
    On the bright side: 
    If the dooms day prognosticators are ever correct, at least we can
    be content as we go into oblivion knowing that at least they can't
    say "I told you so."   :^)

    	Maybe the Rapture is Hurricane Gilbert!  He's definately bringing
    hell and distruction where he goes.
    

    
    
    Compared to coming back to work after 2 weeks vacation, the Rapture
    didn't sound all that bad!  I'm almost here :-).

I just called and there was no answer!  Maybe it was the *self*righteous
that were taken. :-)

    I can't decide.
    
    But I'm going to England tomorrow, so if I'm not here now, 
    I'll definitely be back by tomorrow!

    I'm still here.  Unfortunately, so are all the Television evangelist.
    
    Pat

    
    There is here.
    Rapture lies in that awareness.
    So from time to time, I'm here, and there, and enraptured.
    Like now.

    You are ALL wrong...we all died & this is really Hell...after all,
    look at the similarity...change the H to a W, the E or an O, the
    L to a R, the other L to a K....and there you have it!
    
    

    	If this is hell, I rather like it.

    Well, since we all seem to be here, what's next?  Does this mean
    we're going to miss Armageddon too?  I thought the Rapture was supposed
    to be a prerequisite...
    
    Jeff

    Re .23
    
    "Does this mean we're going to miss Armageddon too?  I thought the
    Rapture was supposed to be a prerequisite..."
    
    Depends on who you ask.  There are at least three schools of
    interpretation for this aspect of Christian eschatology:
    pre-tribulational, mid-tribulational, and post-tribulational, or
    "pre-trib," "mid-trib," and "post-trib," for short.  The "tribulation"
    is the bad times just before Doomsday.  "Pre-," "mid-," or "post-"
    signifies a belief that the Rapture will come before, during, or
    after the tribulation.  Pre-trib and mid-trib are the two most widely
    accepted schools, along with the ever-popular "wait and see."  The
    gentleman responsible for the latest Rapture rumors was pre-trib.
    (He was also far out of the Christian mainstream, pre-, mid-, post-,
    or otherwise.)

    I must be here because everyone keeps telling me I'm not all
    there!! I did experience an enormous amount of Rapture with
    my fiance does that count?
    
    Michael

    re: .25
    
       As in enraptured in each other's arms (and legs?  ;-) ) or
    maybe you were listening to en-rap-ture music?  or maybe you
    had each other's enraptured attention?  or maybe you played
    wrap and enrapture games (as in divide-and-conquer?)  or
    maybe you enraptured each other off?  or maybe...

    Well, *I'm* certainly not going anywhere...I went to an awful lot
    of trouble to get here and I have work to do!
    
    I just hope the poor guy that predicted it isn't being too hard
    on himself...
    
    DW

    
    Ypsilanti, Michigan actually made it to the national news this morning!
    Apparently one of the rapture predictors comes from there.
    
    Sorry but this is all I managed to catch.
    
    Can you comment, Doug?

    RE: .28  (Cindy)
    
    Gee, I hadn't even heard that one of the predictors was from my
    city!  Right now Ypsilanti is more busy trying to figure out who
    is responsible for the three dead bodies found this month in the
    city.  
    
    I'm rather surprised that we have a fundamentalist element
    in Ypsi.  Ann Arbor, Michigan (home of the University of
    Michigan...anybody see "The Big Chill?") and Ypsilanti (home of
    Eastern Michigan University which I attend part time) are both bohemian
    college towns filled with ex-sixties radicals, New Age bookstores, and 
    liberal intellectuals from all over the Midwest.
    
    Whoever the person is, they must feel very out of their element...as
    much as I feel in my element in this environment.
    
    Come visit one of the most beautiful cities in the Midwest, or,
    Ann Arbor's sister city in Nicarauga that the City Council adopted and the
    city sends money to...or if you're in New York, check out the letter
    the city of Ypsilanti sent to the UN divorcing our citizenry (by
    public vote) from the illegal activities the Reagan administration
    is carrying on in Nicarauga...
    
    Stepping down from the soapbox...

Didn't someone say, "No matter where you go, there you are...".

If I'm there then I'm not here.
If I'm here, then I must not be there, I think...

    RE: .31: 'I think' is the clue to it all, perhaps.
    
    If one thinks that heaven is there, and 'existence' is here, and
    the twain touch for a nanosecond at the instant of death, then there
    is indeed not here. 
    
    But, if one lives in an eternal moment of enlightenment, or rapture,
    there and here are one and the same. 
    
    For some it happens rarely, for others (saints and Buddhas and Jesus)
    it happens far more often. And for others it never happens. 
    
    I think. 
    
    Gloria
    

    I'm here ... and I guess I'm a survivor.  (I thought the 
    Rapture was supposed to be good for you.)

    I'm still around logging in from 99's!

    Well...it's September 28, I'm still here, and had a wonderful
    week in Bermuda.
    
    I do believe we should all be getting ready...for something...all
    those fires, floods, famines.

    It appears the Rapture has been rescheduled.  I asked the following in
    the CHRISTIAN conference, but it seems to apply here too.
    
    I've noticed a bunch of posters stuck to signposts along Route 2 (in
    Concord & Acton) that ask, "Are you ready for the Rapture?" and warn
    that it starts October 28.  Who is posting these and where did they get
    the October date?

    
    To avoid being here for Halloween?

	Here in DC, the people doing the posting and handing out the
	flyers seem to be members of the Unification Church.  So, I
	suspect, although I haven't verified it, that the Rev. Moon
	may be getting released from prison in October.  Just a
	guess.

October 28 is my birthday. I'll be 41 (a prime). Y'all are in for a BIG
surprise.

    You're not going to join the moonies, are you? :-)
