It's the one piece of information that scripture tells us, up-front, we won't know. It's the one datum that Christ says is withheld even from Him.
Camping's reading of scripture says that this rule only applied during the "Church Age," which ended somewhat recently. He has denounced organized religion and churches, which he says have been fully infiltrated by Satan.
So that's how he can pinpoint the day.
Well, yeah. That makes perfect sense. There's no double backsies or flim-flammeries after the Church Age ends. Its unclear if double secret reverse triple dog daresies are still allowed, though.

Any time recently that some wild-eyed doom prophet tries to sell me on their prophecies, I point out that in the 80s, I was shown elaborate texts by someone at my door that said that since Ronald Wilson Reagan had six letters in each of his names, he was thus the Beast 666 and thereby the Antichrist.
I then tell them that following that revelation, it all makes perfect sense, the Antichrist is now dead, and we live in the perfect world after the Apocalypse. That was Gulf War I, BTW.
I then let them try to convince me that the Gipper wasn't the Antichrist. It's fun.

I saw a thing you could print out to give to door to door prophets once. It was a long checklist, but every item was something to the effect of "It has been X years and the end has not come." You'd check off one per year until the point penetrated.

Well if this is true...we need to start a letter writting campaign(using prayer) to hold off the end of the world till a couple of thing happen...not impossible thing. Not things that will forestall it for more than sat five years.
1) Can't happen till after the Avengers movie.
2) Till the two Hobbits movies.
3) Till all my current RPG campaign are done...unless we can continue them in heaven...but since the DM is a atheist I don't see how that is possible.
4) Till they stop making new True Blood, Game of Thrones, and Castle
After that than sure the world end...I am trying to be fair here so it is not all I want to do before I die...but it is things that would suck if it all ended a couple of months or a year before lets say the Avengers movie comes out.
Anybody else care to add to this list?

If no man knows the day that Jesus will return, then couldn't a group of people permanently prevent His return just by stating that he will return everyday? It would be really easy to just say that tomorrow Jesus will return, and when He doesn't, just say He is returning tomorrow and so on. That way, since no man can know the day of His return, it would prevent Jesus from returning forever. That way there will never be an Apocolypse.

Mildly heretical thought here, but imagine if judgement days happens, God is standing there and goes "No, you know what, no. Everybody come in, sinners and saints, we'll all sit down and talk about what we did wrong this time before I reincarnate everyone."
"Crap! Now I'm a bugbear!"

Please... The world ended nearly fifty years ago. We just don't realize it because our minds are being fed radio waves full of false information while the nice little green men harvest our organs.
Just kidding, just in case you believed me.
I am actually a devote Christian myself, and find it sad that people seem to forget that the Bible says no one can predict the time of the end.
That isn't to say there are not going to be signs. And they are clear ones, not obscure numerology or odd occurrences. Things like Israel building the Temple of Solomon on its original spot, which of course would be something everyone would notice.

Quite by accident, Leafar's post reminded be of the Paradox of the Unexpected Hanging.
The way a fellow named Jim Loy explains it:
A prisoner had been condemned to be hanged. The warden knew that the prisoner enjoyed logic puzzles. So, he informed the prisoner of the execution date in this way:
"1. You will be hanged on one of the days of next week (Sunday through Saturday). And, 2. you will not be able to logically deduce which day you are to be hanged."
The prisoner realized that this is a puzzle which lends itself to working backward. He reasoned, "If today were Saturday (the last day), and I had not been executed yet, then I would know that today I would be hanged, because it's the only remaining option. In other words, if today were Saturday, then I could logically deduce that I would hang today. But, the warden stated that I would not be able to logically deduce which day that I would be hanged. Therefore, I will not be hanged on Saturday."
He reasoned further, "If today were Friday (the next to the last day), and I had not been executed yet, then I would know that today I would be hanged, since (as I've already shown) I can't be hanged on Saturday. In other words, if today were Friday, then I could logically deduce that I would hang today. But, the warden stated that I would not be able to logically deduce which day that I would be hanged. Therefore, I will not be hanged on Friday."
He similarly eliminated Thursday, since he had previously eliminated Friday and Saturday, and Thursday would then be no surprise. And, he similarly eliminated Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, and even Sunday. (He had eliminated Monday through Saturday. So, he could deduce that Sunday was the execution day, which eliminated Sunday, because of the Warden's original statements.) So the prisoner had deduced that he could not be hanged, and still fulfill the Warden's original statements.
When the warden came to visit, on Sunday, the prisoner told him of his reasoning. He added, "You seem to have made a mistake. One of your two statements must be false. I don't see how you can hang me this week and still make it impossible for me to deduce which day it will be."
The warden replied, "Wrong! String him up, boys." And both of the warden's original statements were true.
The problem with the condemned man's reasoning is the same as with Leafar's claim that people asserting "Today is Judgement Day" every morning would keep Judgement Day away indefinitely. It has to do with the idea of proof; when someone asserts something is provable (or deduceable) he needs to add "according to this logic system, and these premises."

I recently found out about this a few days ago. I am quiet disappointed that this old man thinks the end of the world could happen without me knowing about it. I see all, hence my name. Maybe a disintegration ray will set him right.

What if Harold Camping is right?
Harold Camping, 89-year-old leader of the ministry Family Radio Worldwide, has predicted that a five-month destruction of humanity will commence Saturday with a Rapture, in which believers will ascend to heaven. "Whereas this five-month period will be an enormous horror story for those who have not been raptured, it will be a time of great joy and wonder for those who are raptured," according to the Family Radio website.~Robert Roy Britt, LiveScience.com
Perhaps Harold Camping is seeing a world-wide destruction that will happen on May 21, 2011, but he just assumes it is the Rapture and return of Jesus? What if he has been warning us of this impending doom, and none of us listened to him? It's just like Noah, who told all of his neighbors that a flood was coming to destroy the world, but no one listened to him. What if Harold Camping is right?

Another question is: Is he "assuming" that he will be one of the saved?

It is all irrelevant. It is not a question of when the world will end, because it will end. The real question you have to ask is Who will be eaten first?

The Hollow Men
by T. S. Eliot
Mistah Kurtz -- he dead.
A penny for the Old Guy
I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without color,
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us -- if at all -- not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
II
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death's dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind's singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
In death's dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer --
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom
III
This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
V
Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

To go back on subject for only a moment, Leafar's insanity being much more interesting than the actual subject, I had a disturbing idea. Since this guy has called Mulligan once already, what if he and say 20-25 of his followers vanish. It could be a suicide pact, or simply going into seclusion in the middle of Alaska. I mean if he truly believes that Saturday is the end then he surely does not have a show planned for Sunday or Monday. So instead of an "Oops my bad" he and a small group vanish as if to say "told you so."
Ok enough of conspiracy theories..... Leafar your back on...bring on the insane. YD can chime in as well.

2. How many of y'all will then proceed to post on or create a 2012 doomsday thread?

Yes,I was just curious if after the May 21st "deadline" doesn't quite "pan out" everyone here will move on to a new "deadline" or just say "Hey we're still here! Well isn't that weird? Oh well. Hey,who wants to head on down to da diner and get some chezburgers?" Know what I mean? Like wasn't it supposed to end in 2000? I personally like what some people here are saying about that we aren't supposed to know or that we can't know. Guess that's one benefit of subscribing to an organized religion. Once in a while ya find something in it that makes ya realize there's no sense in worrying.

At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.
Mark 13:26-28

If every one of these prophets of doom and their sad little band of followers vanished when they scheduled apocalypse arrived it would, at least in some small way, curb the growth of crazy. It is of course unfortunate that the crackpot Heaven's Gate whackjob conned a bunch of people into killing themselves, but the small silver lining is that we don't have any more people taking him seriously.
But what will really happen is that the ones who are, by the standards of the group, halfway sane will desert him. The really crazy ones will forge ahead and be even loopier next time around. When you bungle something big like this, you don't exactly keep the fence-sitting members of the group.
