What is wrong with date-setting?
Because date-setting can cause emotional harm to some people, we do not allow date-setting on the message board. A couple of years back, one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture.

"Because date-setting can cause emotional harm to some people... "
Also, your bible says not to try, doesn't it?
"A couple of years back, one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture. "
At the risk of sounding insensitive... what would that have even accomplished at that point? If he "missed the rapture," that would've meant he wasn't chosen, and would've been going to hell regardless, right?
BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
How could a fundie miss something like the rapture?!?!?!
"Hey guys, just had to go to the bathroom for a couple of minutes, did anything happ... hey, guys? Hello?"
ROFL
"Because date-setting can cause emotional harm to some people, we do not allow date-setting on the message board."
You don't think your religion does that anyway?
"A couple of years back, one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture."
Oh good god. You people really are fucked up.
Anyone able to find that thread or is this just another example of Rapture Retards who are incapable of distinguishing their mental fantasies from reality?
I'll set the date for you, it's this Friday. No wait, it's September 23, no wait it January 19, 2009, no wait its December 12, 2012.
Arggghhhhhh!
A couple of years back, one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture.
1 John 2:18 says "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." (circa 85 AD)
So according to the Bible, you've all missed the Rapture. Want some Kool-Aid?
"A couple of years back, one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture."
I hope he was successful.
one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture.
Haha - "This is the last straw, "God" - if you don't rapture me today, I swear, I'm going to take myself out, I'm warning you!"
At least setting a date can push the timetable out a bit. As it is now, the Rapture Reddites seem to think it's coming every five minutes.
Oh, and have a look at A Brief History of the Apocalypse to peek at the success rate of predictions so far. Short version: many thousands are left depressed as they'll have to die the old fashioned way.
You know, much as I hate to say it, someone that stupid's suicide would have improved the species general IQ by the loss of that kind of blind pigheaded ignorance, not to mention (hopefully) stopping it from breeding more fruitloops.
Right, and your aversion to putting dates on your demented, fallacious prophesies is totally nothing to do with, as I believe James Randi put it, getting burned so many times.
"A couple of years back, one participant threatened to kill himself after he thought he'd missed the rapture."
See that? That's your future, right there, in one sentence.
Announcement from RUPTURE READY administration.
"Due to the "no-show" of the 217th date of the Rupture (of this millenium), Rupture Ready has been obliged to pause to concoct a more plausible date to frighten the unbelievers into seeing the light.
This may take as long as 11 hours. Please stay tuned and in the meantime have your lobotomy serviced and ensure your bullshit tank is full.
Please make sure future dates do not clash with any major sporting event or the issue of the next Playboy calendar."
And RR just gets crazier, and crazier, and crazier. I laughted at this at first, until I realized how sad it is that fundy indoctrination has caused people to get this mentally incompetent.
Try informing the moron who said the whole "rapture on May 21, 2011" thing.
Nothing's going to happen on that date except for my usual Saturday activities.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
