OK, so you guys have heard of Family Radio, no doubt. Their studios
are just 10 miles from where I live and their main transmitter on HF is in Okeedokee, er Okeechbee, Florida. Harold Camping, the founder and genius behind Family Radio, has predicted with stunning accuracy and without overt prophecy from the Almighty, that the rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, although we cannot yet tell if it will be before or after lunch. Anyway, so I'm groovin' along down the street after having gotten a sandwich (vegetarian, of course - God loves animals and does not enjoy seeing them harmed needlessly) and soft drink, and what do I spy but a Family Radio minivan with two very friendly chaps setting up a sign that sayeth, "Judgment Day May 21, 2011." I stop and smile knowingly at this, and one of them energetically hands me several "End Times" brochures and a handful of spanking new full-color business cards with glossy overcoat that also declare as much. Well - What can I say? What can I do? I am dumbfounded and amused as I, an ordinary shortwave radio enthusiast and occasional listener to the Family Radio interval signal (as it covers up the desired signals from Pakistan or Bhutan), am CHOSEN by Harold Camping's hand-selected assistants to receive the Word and also to pass out the Word on fancy little business cards! It must be a sign, a revelation, a not-so- subtle message from the great beyond that, for the next 12 days, it is my predestiny to proseletyze profoundly on this preposterously proven prostitution, er, I mean, postulation. So there you have it, the story of my improbable conversion to TBOTET (True Believer of the End Times) and chosen cherub of chicanery. I will have photos up of the business cards later so that you, too, can become a convert. (These cards will also be nice souvenirs of interesting times when we reach May 22, 2011 without substantial transsubstantiation ;-) Somebody's humble servant (we won't say whose ;-), Bruce Jensen (CA - USA) |

I recall my grandmother telling me of an event in Indiana where some (or was it just one?) charlatans scammed folks into selling their property and worldly goods to finally await the rapture on top of some barns on a particular day... needless to say, the folks waited patiently as the charlatan(s) made their escape. |

I wonder if there is a correlation between the ones holding devouted beliefs in the "anointed one" -- "barack obama AKA barry soetoro" the , "magic negro" made famous by rush limbaugh? Looks like the same mental disorder -- and summed up by the old saying, fools and their money are soon parted. But then, welfare steps in and saves 'em, so you don't have to feel too sorry for them ... Regards, JS |

At the poles you could keep up with it on foot -- and still have time for some lengthy SWL sessions and naps. 73, Kevin, WB4AIO. -- http://nationalvanguard.org/ http://kevinalfredstrom.com/ |
