It seems like my prayers will be answered on May 21, 2011 because that is when the Rapture is supposed to come! Christian leader Harold Camping, founder and president of Family Stations, Inc., a company which produces Christian radio and television programs, has announced the end of the world will take place on Saturday, May 21, 2011. Well I am not sure if it is really the end of the world or the beginning of the Rapture which will lead to the end of the world - the stuff is always fuzzy to me. However, if on May 21 all of these fundamentalists will be zapped up into Heaven and out of my face I can't wait for May 22!
Bring it on!
Camping is basing this on his highly scientific studies which show the Creation taking place 11,000 years ago. I guess that is why the Creationist Theme Park in Kentucky shows dinosaurs roaming around in saddles - is there a thing called Flintstone envy???
Being the goof ball that I am - I just had to look at the chart for May 21, 2011 to see if my astrological crystal ball could tell us what the stars will look like on that day. I would assume end of the world stuff would fall under the realm of Pisces which is the connection to the god source, right? Well let's see Neptune is in Pisces now and Pisces is ruled by Neptune so that does portend a very spiritual time. On the day, over Washington, Neptune will be in the 8th house - the house of death and rebirth. HMMM.
Neptune is conjunct Chiron, the harbinger of deep sacred wound issues. Now, I would see it as a time to spiritually address our wound issues surrounding power issues. However, someone else might see the healing of the wounds of evil Mankind by raising the righteous and smiting the rest of us heathens. See it is all in the interpretation.
You know this guy may have something - Uranus is in Aries, the warrior sign, in the 9th house the house of spiritual truth. It is a time to cut a new path - find a new way to find your higher truth! But then again if the world is ending why bother? I mean talk about too little too late.
Of course this same dude predicted the world was going to end in 1994. There are still people who believe him this time. No wonder Madonna has been able to pass herself off as an entertainer all these years. People will believe anything!
Perhaps, hopefully, it will be a day when people will "die to" ridiculous fundamentalists’ beliefs and have the courage to find their own truth...or they all could be raptured up. Either way I think it is a win win. No?
I say LET'S PARTY! SEND THEM OFF IN STYLE.

Hah! Witty and wise as usual. Seems that every part of our society that purports to "lead" has to keep devising new events and deadlines with which to spin us all up. Then the "perspective police" come in in the form of Joan Porte and all is set right with the world. Until May 21 anyway. :)
Joan - this is great!!!!! you rock!
Joan, hilarious and well written! thanks

Did anyone see the picture of the controversial billboard that was recently put up by another spiritual group near Family Radio’s headquarters? It directly challenges them about May 21. Here is a picture of it:
