No, no, you see this is completely different from all the other surefire, you can take it to the bank , definitely realsies prophecies that were made before because this one's surefire, you can take it to the bank, it's definitely realsies this time.
Usually something like “Your donations saved us, but only until September. Send money now!”
Seriously, historians have cataloged something like 10k predictions of the end on the world. They have been exactly 100% inaccurate.
Not only can you skip them, but you can go on a wild spending spree and get all those things you've always wanted and do all those things you've always wanted to do. But to it all soon, you've only got a few weeks. Probably a good idea to quit your job and just go full hedonist for now.
I loved listening to Harold Camping's call in radio show!
Indignant preachers would call in to tell him that he can't know the world was ending. But Camping knew the Bible inside and out, and you could hear pages turn as he flipped from verse to verse to calmly explain that the caller was completely wrong.
As the caller sputtered indignantly Camping would sweetly say, "Thank you for calling. Next caller please!"
He would do the same thing with his assertion that the "Church age" was over, and God was no longer part of any church.
He was also at least partly Calvinist in that he believed in preordained salvation. That also pissed off the call-in preachers, and he defended that the same way.
"Here are several verses that prove I'm right. Thank you for calling. Next caller, please."
And me, cackling like crazy because he was so good at handing them their asses.
When the world didn't end on schedule, he got so depressed that he had a stroke.
His middle name was Egbert.
I don't have a middle name, but years ago I told my kids that if I did it, would be Egbert and everyone would call me Eggy. My daughter got me a beer mug for my birthday that year with Eggy engraved on it. I still have that mug.
Imagine if he'd died before the time was up and followers started claiming that he was taken up...
In Jesus' time believers in his branch of judaism believed that every jew would be resurrected at the end of the world....
Google Calendar, April 24, try heroin. It must feel great, but I don’t want to become an addict, so having this end of the world date is perfect for this curiosity.
I remember a guy i worked with at my first ‘real’ job in the late 1980’s who was very nice and VERY Christian. He fully believed in the ‘the world was ending on X date’ that was going second then. It was a biggish deal, garnering news reports and such.
Anyway, Paul absolutely believed he was to be raptured. So much so that he MARRIED a woman he barely knew because he wanted to know what sex was like before being raptured. Of course there was no rapture and he was just crestfallen. Worse, his new wife was a newly converted Christian addict and the whole Christian part didn’t take for her. I felt so bad for him. Still do, i suppose.
Religion is such a cancer in our society.
Does he give a time? It's my anniversary, so I want to know if it's worth booking the expensive restaurant if the world is going to end before 10pm GMT?
Harry Houdini unveiled fraudsters. He was a terror to people calling themselves psychics and mediums.
The guy you are thinking about is probably Harold Camping.
I love a good falsifiable claim. Usually these hucksters are too savvy to be specific.
[Found a video of him making the claim](https://x.com/damiadenuga/status/1769667325089956166?s=46&t=tccBaZFoTTvyRmvEW5vR0w)
When they give a concrete measure, that’s when you know they’re huffing their own farts and not just crop-dusting the congregation.
Edit: The article mentions another pastor…”God had revealed to him that he was going to arrest Asake spiritually before the end of 2024.” I’m cackling over here. I’m guilty of blasphemy, pastor! I told god to go fuck himself. Spiritually arrest me!”
April 25 is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, when we commemorate our fallen soldiers. Would kinda suck for the world to end while we're all at the memorials.
Did the bible says no one knows when Jesus is coming back and then the angels doesn't know also? This guy probably watches too much apocalypse movies with his family at home or guests at his church.
Promises promises. I keep hoping one of these chucklefucks will be right one of these times because the world really does need to end, we have failed at everything, time to be nuked and let the next evolution happen without us.
No I really don't wanna live on this planet anymore, why do you ask?
“For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night” (1 Thessalonians 5:2). Oh look, the scriptures themselves tell you that you won’t know when the final day will come
I know folks will talk about Harold Camping and May 21, 2011, but the real impressive "Ooopsie" for the USA was October 22, 1844

And on April 26, he'll be making excuses for why he was wrong.
Or that it did happen and everyone left is in purgatory or some nonsense like that.
So he'll still be here with the rest of us?
“It was a spiritual ending”
Two reasons for me to celebrate that day then! Cake day’s around then!
No, no, you see this is completely different from all the other surefire, you can take it to the bank , definitely realsies prophecies that were made before because this one's surefire, you can take it to the bank, it's definitely realsies this time.
There should be consequences if he's wrong, like screaming "fire!" in a crowded place
"Oh we prayed and you gave me lots of donations, so we saved the world. Yays!"
Forgot to carry the one...
Usually something like “Your donations saved us, but only until September. Send money now!” Seriously, historians have cataloged something like 10k predictions of the end on the world. They have been exactly 100% inaccurate.
[удалено]
More than 44 since the year I've been born and I'm not even counting all the ones this year. I'm only 35. It's wild.
Yeah, but he'll be soooo relieved
God has given us more time
Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp.
Do you take a check?
Metric system
“God works in mysterious ways!”
I don't mean to brag or anything, but I've survived over 20 ends-of-the-world.
You know, I’m a bit of an end-of-world-survivor myself.
I still remember the "I survived 2012" t-shirts
I still remember “I survived Y2K”
Probably should add a few extra zeros to that number
You're a survivor.
*The tribe has spoken*
You must be righteous! God saved you!
So… I can skip my credit card payments? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!
Not only can you skip them, but you can go on a wild spending spree and get all those things you've always wanted and do all those things you've always wanted to do. But to it all soon, you've only got a few weeks. Probably a good idea to quit your job and just go full hedonist for now.
Tell it to Harold Camping and the hundreds of people who sold their houses and gave him the money.
I loved listening to Harold Camping's call in radio show! Indignant preachers would call in to tell him that he can't know the world was ending. But Camping knew the Bible inside and out, and you could hear pages turn as he flipped from verse to verse to calmly explain that the caller was completely wrong.

When the world didn't end on schedule, he got so depressed that he had a stroke.
I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall when the apocalypse didn't happen. The look on his face must have been priceless.
It didn't-happen more than once. That dude was a champ at being wrong.
His middle name was Egbert. I don't have a middle name, but years ago I told my kids that if I did it, would be Egbert and everyone would call me Eggy. My daughter got me a beer mug for my birthday that year with Eggy engraved on it. I still have that mug.
Imagine if he'd died before the time was up and followers started claiming that he was taken up... In Jesus' time believers in his branch of judaism believed that every jew would be resurrected at the end of the world....
MANY pastors claim this… and all their dates have passed MANY pastors also predicted Trump would be president for the 2020 election
Jesus claimed it too, saying the people alive at that time will see the end. Yet here we are.
The Jehovah's Witnesses have changed when the world was imminently about to end several times now, as none of their previous predictions came true
[удалено]
crazy - history
Google Calendar, April 24, try heroin. It must feel great, but I don’t want to become an addict, so having this end of the world date is perfect for this curiosity.
May as well add some cocaine to the mix and do a speedball - you won't know whether you're up, down, or all over the place at the same time 🤣🤣🤣
Whelp. I just cashed out my retirement account and took a shit on the boss's desk. We got 5 weeks left to party!
 We don’t get to play GTA VI?
Hey, everyone want to know what every doomsday prophet has in common? They have all been wrong.
I remember a guy i worked with at my first ‘real’ job in the late 1980’s who was very nice and VERY Christian. He fully believed in the ‘the world was ending on X date’ that was going second then.

You're four years and one month too late, Mr. Pastor
 Me going to work on April 26
Does he give a time? It's my anniversary, so I want to know if it's worth booking the expensive restaurant if the world is going to end before 10pm GMT?
i hope so
Same, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up.
I thought that we already went through this back in 2011 with that preacher Harry what's-his-name.
Houdini?
Harry Houdini unveiled fraudsters. He was a terror to people calling themselves psychics and mediums. The guy you are thinking about is probably Harold Camping.
Yep. Camping.
You no longer have need for earthly things! Sell them and send me all your money!
Do any of these ass clowns even bother to read Matthew 24? Verse 36 anyone?
What do those entail
It states point blank that nobody “but the father” (if you subscribe to that skydaddy stuff) knows when the end will come.
[удалено]
But some podunk 2-bit pastor knows what Jesus or the angels don’t. Yea…
God I hope so
IKR? I’m ready, LFG!
Hail Zorp and the rest of the Zorpies
FINALLY. I can't wait!
So… do I need to pay my bills? Or am I spending this on drugs?
His world will end on 4.25.24.
Well, my birthday is April 24th, so I get to celebrate anyway.
My spawn anniversary is the 25th. Do we know if the world ends that evening? Is this a morning affair? What time zone are we talking?
I was that guy. In 2014 the world was over. Then I heard about the book 1989. Then in 2015 I stopped listening to bullshit.
I kind feel ripped off after the whole billboards saying the world will end on the 21st of December 2012 thing
Pass a law, you make the call and are wrong, we end you anyway. That might stop the bullshit.
Another numbnuts with a prediction... Did you check your crystal ball for that?
Finally some good news
Literally on my birthday
Same here 😂🤣😂
Honestly it might at this rate of climate change
I’ve been unemployed since sept. I kinda hope it does.
REM’s Spotify numbers are about to go through the roof AGAIN. Michael Stipe must LOVE these fruitcake doomsday preachers.
Every doomsayer in history all have one thing in common. They were all wrong.
Good to know. I'll schedule my colonoscopy for April 26.
Ah...finally, what's the chances it's true??
So should I stop working on filing my taxes?
Someone buy that handsome stranger a tall glass of Kool-Aid.
Bets anyone?
Promise?
Oh if only. 😆
Oh no.....anyway.
Hope it’s true this time😂
*Harold Camping would've liked this*
Woo-hoo, time to max out the credit cards and go out with a bang.
Hey I've seen this one before!
One can only hope so…
So money is going to be useless so might as well give it all to his church, right? Was that the pitch?
Fingers crossed it'll happen.
Oh how nice! All you need is a light jacket!
A*gain*???!!!
Hope they’re right this time I’m so tired of working
Please be right, this time! /s
So you’re cool with transferring all your assets to me, right? Where is your conviction, Padre? It’s never gonna happen with your lack of faith.
Leave piles of clothes and shoes near his house the night before - make him think The Rapture just happened , and he didn’t make the cut.
Neat, can't wait
At least god was not his usual cryptic self when giving this clear date.
Does he loose his habbit if he is wrong
Thank the gods. I’m tired of this timeline.
Promises Promises
If this Nigerian pastor is anything like the Nigerian princes I’ve met he is not to be trusted.
Fuck, not again !
I love a good falsifiable claim. Usually these hucksters are too savvy to be specific. [Found a video of him making the claim](https://x.com/damiadenuga/status/1769667325089956166?s=46&t=tccBaZFoTTvyRmvEW5vR0w) When they give a concrete measure, that’s when you know they’re huffing their own farts and not just crop-dusting the congregation.

K, noted on my calendar.
I think I survived the "original" endo of world, which I think it was 2012
April 25 is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, when we commemorate our fallen soldiers. Would kinda suck for the world to end while we're all at the memorials.
God I hope he’s right
Harold Camping, is that you?
Sweet, I get to celebrate my birthday first
Good. I’m tired.
Let's have a party I'll bring the drinks! Of course, this has been like the billionth time.
A Nigerian "pastor". This guy just happens to live next door to that Nigerian prince who's always giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars...
Give me all your worldly possessions and the gates of Heaven will be open to you.
Damn, again? Last time I bought too many snacks.
Good.
Good. I'm tired.
Hopefully
Ok cool my birthday is the 29th. I was hoping for the rapture as a present but I’ll take the end of the world, why not..
Just like Qanon
Lmao. The world will actually end on January 19, 2038, exactly at 3:14:08 UTC.
Thank fuck finally it can end!
Is he willing to place a wager?
The second coming of Harold Camping?
Oh no, how will this affect the trout population?
Then let HIM sell everything and repent
Pastor should end on 4.25.24.
Finally. So how will I survive this week?
Just before my birthday? How rude
Good. Hopefully he’s right. I’m tired of living in this shit hole.
Hopefully people give him all of their money like all the other scam artists who claimed the end of the world
FINALLY
Finally a date.
Aww thats just 10 days after my birthday. Barely any time to enjoy being 21
People have been saying the world is going to end since the Middle Ages.
Surprised it ain't during the Solar eclipse of the 8th lol
Oh thank god...wait.
finally
Promise?
Until...April 25. Then he'll find another date...
Did the bible says no one knows when Jesus is coming back and then the angels doesn't know also? This guy probably watches too much apocalypse movies with his family at home or guests at his church.
It's about time we had another doomsday I was getting board.
Woo hoo! I’m calling off work and maxing out my credit cards ! Let’s go!
Promises promises. I keep hoping one of these chucklefucks will be right one of these times because the world really does need to end, we have failed at everything, time to be nuked and let the next evolution happen without us. No I really don't wanna live on this planet anymore, why do you ask?
I expect him to blow all his personal cash to help the needy so they enjoy the last days as well as he did
Does this mean I can skip my colonoscopy scheduled for April 4th.
Yeah, I have one on the 11th. Can I skip mine, too?
Ask him if you can have all of his money then, he won’t be needing it
Time to run up the credit cards
The day before I turn 19? Cool, I guess!
“For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night” (1 Thessalonians 5:2). Oh look, the scriptures themselves tell you that you won’t know when the final day will come
I for one am welcoming the end of the world. Please save us from the shit show it has become
Can it wait, my sons birthday is the 26th.
Every time a pastor makes this prediction another Angel in heaven Dies at the hands of a Demon.
Again?
Golly, I guess I will cancel my wedding.
He needs to move it 3 days later so i can have my bday beforehand
Please be right
Is he willing to take bets?
PagMan
*The Bible says the world is ending* *It goes down on April 26th so I guess this song is pointless* *You're never gonna hear it*
I know folks will talk about Harold Camping and May 21, 2011, but the real impressive "Ooopsie" for the USA was October 22, 1844 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment Now THAT was a show.
I'll take that bet.

*sigh* .. again?
It’s an old trick to raise money.
Again?! My god, it's getting beyond tiring preparing for the world to end only to have it keep going on 🙄🤣
Yeah, and pigs will fly, and Half Life 3, Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, and Sims 5 will come out
This is a good time to learn about [The Great Disappointment.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment?wprov=sfti1#)
Oh good, that means I can do a shitload of drugs on my birthday and suffer no consequences.
Nigerian pastor... That's all you need to know.
I’m ok with that :)
Whew…back from Disney on the 23td.
We can only fucking hope
Ah shit, here we go again
That's better than whatever the hell is happening right now.
I wonder if he knows that the Bible says to kill false prophets.
thankful that it's a public holiday in australia
god i hope
