The world will not end yet. The true God will still leave one-third of mankind but instead of increasing again, it will even decrease until about the year 2200, there will just be very few left. They, together with those good people who will be taken out from the earth and returned (Revelation 14:3 “redeemed from the earth”) will restart this world. Satan will be bound for one thousand years while the population continues to increase.

Yes, this is an odd place to make this announcement. Matthew 7:6 states “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample on them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” I know that the people here at James Randi Educational Foundation are bright people. When they see these things happen, I hope they will change and carry on what I have been doing. I am already old and about to exit. It will be their turn ... hopefully. Also, I believe I am equipped to face them.

I have been away for several days because I announced these too to believers, I mean Christians. There may be apprehensions but, as the saying goes, believe it or not.
23 skidoo...

Do they still stone heretics and false prophets in your village? You may want to check out evacuation routes for reasons other than what you've been presuming.

You will not become malnourished by not eating for three days. If you survive the coming reduction of people in the world (only one-third will survive), you will find many women as compared to men. Maybe ten women is to one man. An abundance of them. But men will not be satisfied. It means that it is not sex that will satisfy man.

The nuclear exchange will be for eight hours. So the smoke that will be generated from burning cities and military installations will be spread by the wind all over the world so that there will be no place where one can hide without being affected by the war.

It will be dark even during the day because of thick smoke for three days and three nights. Maybe, slowly, the smoke will be cleared but it will take a year to clear it.

If I PM you my address could you pass it on to the holy spirit and ask him to distribute it amongst the women? I'm easily satisfied. You still haven't answered my question. What will your excuse be when the Olympics take place?

In the highly unlikely event that they do not take place and WWIII does start soon I would like to know what his fallback position will be.

its going to be a sort of prone position to start with, with blood leaking out of his ears and with some fungus growing on his ass before intestinal and exterior parasites consume everthing but the bones, which being rifled by predatory animals will form a sort of scattered pile spread over 50 square feet

Agnus dei!

At least there will be plenty of mutton to eat during the 3 days (and. . . um. . 3 nights. . . because it's somehow different than just 3 days). Most of it will have a Y chromosome, apparently.

Thank you for posting the life of the heavy elements.

The Holy Spirit said that we should store food good for three days and three nights. We don’t have to go out during the period. Maybe, if we go out, we would die. There maybe no sellers in the marketplace. Another thing is that the surroundings will be dark, worse than fog or mist, because of thick smoke. For three days and three nights, it will be dark even during the day. It will take one year to clear the smoke.
Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Is this real three days and nights or the easy peasy Jesus Half a Friday, Friday Night, Saturday. Saturday night, Sunday morning? If it's the Jesus bad weekend count, I can cut my supply by over 33%. That will save me several dollars and this will make me more Christlike as Jesus Saves.

10:1 women:men

I'm thinking that since I'm as nearly perfect as anyone on the earth, I'm bound to be one of the saved. Can someone make sure they don't bomb the Viagra plant? I'm not as young as I used to be.

Me neither. We'll need more than a three day supply.

How does Peace explain this 10:1 women to men ratio, anyway? Isn't the nuclear war/nuclear winter going to affect everyone equally? Or is God a misandrist?

I just want to see if you understand something.
Why do you think I posted that list of half-lives, and what does that mean for that 3 days and nights idea?

Peace Crusader, could you explain why we'll only need sufficient food and water for three days (and nights)? A nuclear war is going to render the environment inhospitable to life for much longer than three days, and should two-thirds of the world's population die, I very much doubt that there will be shops or the infrastructure required to supply the shops for a great deal longer than three days.

If the holy spirit was any kind of deity, wouldn't it know that nuclear war means that survivors will need to be self-sufficient for months rather than three days?

Oh, wait, they actually aren't?

200,000,000 bottles of beer on the wall, 200,000,000 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 199,999,999 bottles of beer on the wall.

Reinterpretations, almost definitely. PeaceCrusader, the fallible, yet loyal servant that he is, will dutifully throw himself under the bus to protect the infallibility of his master. He will claim that he had misinterpreted the original message, or missed some detail, and then immediately begin his little dance again.

He'll have learned nothing from the hundreds or thousands of doom mongers that came before him.

He hasn't even started his little dance. That's what we're trying to get him to do.

Mr. PC, my choreographer friend is very busy, so he wants to set a time soon when he can help you with your interpretive dance. Please post you contact information.

Hey, my daughter is getting married next September, global thermonuclear war or not. Do you think you could add some stuff to your interpretive dance for me to use in the father/daughter dance?

I'm not very good at dancing.

"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

There won't be one. He will simply disappear...for awhile. I noticed that each of the five threads he has started has received successively more responses. He probably feels encouraged. Sometimes it really is best not to feed the trolls.

You are quite correct. Sometimes it is best not to.

In this case? Hmmm . . .


* 4th use of the number 42 in this thread, but as I'm doing the Lost numbers and not just The Answer on its own I think it is allowable.

I admit, I only read this thread for the numbers.

99 luftbalon, me too.

I will be at a parade next Wednesday. Hope we don't get gender-selectively nuked. How does that tech work, anyway? Do the radioactive isotopes just know? Is it like gaydar?

He'll have learned nothing from the hundreds or thousands of doom mongers that came before him.

I think you're right.

Funny, with the Buffalo Bill Hawkins guy (this kid even set up his own website using the date of the prophecied nuclear war), he hung in there for a long time insisting that nuclear war had in fact started, but we just hadn't noticed it yet. Then, he did some backpedalling (the nuclear baby was conceived, then would be born 9 months later; then after that failed to happen, presumably the nuclear baby was born, but might take years to grow up and learn how to start being a nuclear war. . . ), then he just disappeared. Presumably, he'd seen the error of his ways (after the cult leader was busted for sexually molesting a child and bigamy---though he got off of the bigamy charges because of a weird law that put his provable crimes beyond a statute of limitations), and was by then simply ashamed of having believed at all.

It's relatively seldom you have believers who believe strongly enough really to put themselves out there. I find it interesting what happens afterwards in cases like this. What ever happened to the doomsday RV caravan that predicted The End on May 21, 2011?

@Marduk, #601

I am not aware that someone has copyrighted the epithet “the true God”. Could you please elaborate, like the name of the person who copyrighted it, the place, what it means, when, etc.? Who is older, the person who says he copyrighted it or the King James Version (KJV)? Why is it that there is no mark of any copyright in the KJV?

Did you know that in John 17:3, KJV, the word “true God” is there? This is what the verse says: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

@AdMan, #617


I said maybe ten women for one man. I don’t know the exact ratio. But the Holy Spirit said that there will be an abundance of women. The conquerors will ask if a person believes in God. If he says yes, then he dies, like the old and the disabled. If the person says no, he maybe spared.

Those who will get killed in the nuclear blast are those within a certain radius from where the atomic bomb explodes, I believe in cities and in military installations. So those in rural areas, in isolated places like an island in the Pacific Ocean or in the middle of the Sahara Desert, will be spared from the nuclear blast, but will still be affected by the war because the air that they will breathe, the water that they will drink, the food that they will eat, will be contaminated radioactively.

Did you know that the Friday crucifixion day that the Christian world observes is wrong? Please read http://aristean.org/wp091.htm titled “Was Jesus crucified on a Friday?”.
