Here is a snapshot of one and the same website, once in early September, once in early October. BEFORE AND AFTER STILL LATER - it still looks the same! "Currently offline!" These are not Photoshopped, by the way, except to blur out the website address. Which was a very gracious act on my part. By... Continue Reading →
Want to set a date for the rapture and maybe take home a prize? Step right up, son, three shots for a quarter!
Autumn [2017] swings around, and with it this year's harvest of Rapture Predictions. This year it’s September 23 (tomorrow!). And yes, I have looked over the “proofs”; given the late date, they are not worth the time it would take to overturn them. Each Rapture Prediction typically begins with a bang and ends with...

And people predicted 2018, 2019,... Continue Reading →

One article passed along the following story, saying it was solid fact: In a southern state, two men were traveling along a rural... Continue Reading →

Link - How to calculate when Jesus will come - without even being a prophet! My wish is simple, and it would make me so very happy.
