MargieH 7,617 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've noticed that Channel 5 is having a weekend of 'end of the world' (as we know it) films to co-incide with the SUPPOSED asteroid strike expected over the next week. Even Big Brother has joined the bandwagon calling the next episodes 'the end is nigh!' I'll enjoy the films, even though I've seen all but one before, but don't think I'll be looking at the skies....... I remember when I was about 16 there was a rumour that the world was going to end on a certain day, and we listened to '3 steps to heaven' during the morning break at school. (Yes, I know the song is definitely about a different sort of heaven!!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,523 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 In that case, why are we arranging a mini-meet-up for October ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,617 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 That thought crossed my mind as well, Cliff Ton, but I swiftly got rid of it!! I'm booking our accommodation for October this morning... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parmitage 127 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I remember so many of these so called events. I recall one when the followers sold up everything they had a they all went up a mountain to wait - I do not know if they are still up there waiting. In the papers it says if there was an asteroid we should all start to be able to see it in the sky now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,523 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I remember at the turn of the millennium there were people in the USA who were convinced that all the computers and technology were going to crash on the turnover from 1999 to 2000. The world would grind to a halt. So these people stockpiled food and supplies and went to live in the mountains. Are they still there ? And how did they react to the news that they got it wrong ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parmitage 127 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes I often wonder about those people who sold everything they owned and gave the money away - what did they do the next day 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 My printer/scanner has crashed and I can't seem to get it re-installed. I wonder if this is due to the asteroid, or perhaps a delayed year 2K syndrome fault? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur-Robin 15 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've seen a few christian forum threads/topics / posts about this september being maybe something "big" going to happen.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I thought it was supposed to be a comet????? If it's a comet, arent they supposed to be just ice and dust???? If so, it will melt on atmospheric entry, best we can hope for are heavy dusty showers...LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Oh No, I had forgotten about the End Of The World next week. I hope it doesn't land at Skeggy. It looks like I might be sitting in the caravan all week with mi tin hat on. Any one know what time it is scheduled for, because I want to make sure I visit Eptons first. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blondie 1,392 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I heard that the world is coming to an end on the 28th September .........Hope it doesn't happen as I have just had my hair done, cost a bit as it had to be restyled after months of tattiness and we are going away on he 26th to Yorkshire to celebrate my 70th birthday on the 30th with family and friends......... I can remember hearing this back in 1958 when I was at school, didn't do my homework the night before, thought it would be a waste of time.......Didn't happen, we are still here.......... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blondie 1,392 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Would cause mass hysteria if we were informed before hand....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terence12 725 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 ever looked at some of the nature progs on tv & when they show a pic of our wonderful planet in colour with all the back universe around it and felt really alone, at time these pictures make me get goosepimples, if you know what i mean 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Depending on your Biblical interpretation method, allegorical, spiritual literal grammatical etc. mine is the latter. Using that method we have a seven year period called the great tribulation coming up. See Revelation and Daniel particularly. This will be followed by a thousand year (millenial) period of peace and prosperity. Can't go into detail here. So! I am not expecting an end of the world this week, only God knows when that will be. However the signs of the times are all around us. Matthew 24. Blondie #15. I think these ideas of mass hysteria are vastly overplayed. Even if we knew for sure we were going to end things next week why get hysterical it won't change it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 That's what I think Loppylugs. You wont find me sitting under the stairs crying and screaming and trembling and ...............Honestly, They don't call me CARMI for Nowt. PS, don't believe a word of that.

benjamin1945 16,278 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 #17 LOPPY. Think you are right on the 'Hysteria' thing Loppy'.....i'm the first to admit i'm a touch Mardy (to put it mildly) about end of days,but i've had 2 near events in my life,and what surprised me was this 'Strange calmness' that came over me of acceptence. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,617 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't think we ordinary people would be told if it a massive asteroid strike or similar was imminent. I'm with you on this one, Blondie. Logically, I agree that there would be no point getting hysterical about it but I feel many people would... And I'm with you on your post, Loppylugs, about the end times which I believe we are already living in, but the final end will only happen in God's time and in God's way and I'm happy with that. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 We "ordinary folks" are not told a lot of things. However I don't think it is because of a fear of mass hysteria. FWIW.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,278 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Mankind today fools itself by thinking we know it all.........................but in the great scheme of things 'we know very little' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Before we were slammed by media everyday and in every way, we had to do with the man in Slab Square wi his sandwich board on, proclaiming The End of the World is Nigh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Time is relative Katyjay. Bible tells us that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. With you on the end times Margie. Just think we are now in the very end of the end times. As to knowing little. I'm with you there Ben. I always tell my dog, "you know less than me and I know nowt." Whatever one believes there is no doubt we are living in interesting times. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 During my lifetime my World has nearly ended many times. Usually after I'd upset my parents when I was a kid. Can you imagine what would happen if we knew for sure that the World was coming to an end. Yes, most people would be hysterical but others would turn into savages with murder, rape and violent crime throughout the land. I also think that people who have faith in their God will accept the inevitable more calmly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
