What time is the rapture?
Set your clocks folks, the rapture is at 6pm sharp tomorrow. So sayeth Harold Camping, the 89-year-old preacher whose Family Radio group is behind all those billboards you’ve been seeing. But wait, Tina Dupuy of the Atlantic asks, is that Eastern or Pacific? Both, Camping replies: God will courteously stagger the show according to time zone, so the first victims will actually head toward the exit when it hits 6pm somewhere between Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Nuku’alofa, Tonga. That’s 8pm EST tonight, notes DuPuy.
Asked how his group intended to mark the occasion, Camping replied, “We’re not planning anything at all.” He’s just going to sit back and watch news footage of the carnage. “It’s going to be a horror show of tremendous proportion.” Asked about the last time he predicted the end of the world in 1994, Camping replies, “I’m not a bit embarrassed about that. You know anytime we’re learning—and the bible is really complex.” Click to read about how the end of times is causing family dramas.

Very true Steve!
I so liked ‘Poltergeist’ until that little girl died in reality. Then I didn’t.
Still…it was only a movie…never the less… This ‘rapture’ must not be allowed until Doctor Who has finished in Britain…
After that I will be pissed on voddy so WTF???
Carol??? (wifey)…’Can we have a shag tonight just in case?’…..;-)
I think it’s very polite to stagger the time of the rapture like this based on time zones. So thoughtful. Mr Camping really sounds to be looking forward to the “horror show of tremendous proportion”. What a pleasant sounding man.
His sort always remind me of the preacher in Poltergeist II
‘presonally’?…er…vodka…sorry…’personally’…I meant ‘personally’…honest…
Is that 6pm in America or England…or perhaps Eastern Europe?
As long as it doesn’t happen until tomorrows Doctor Who episode has finished I couldn’t give a shit.
Doctor Who is 6pm in England.
The show finishes at about 7pm – or 6:45 or whatever….
The Rapture can begin then – and NOT BEFORE. If it begins earlier I will presonally kick God in HIS gonads.
NOTHING comes between me and Doctor Who.
You listening God?
Doctor Who is on at 1845 BST tomorrow.
