[In a thread about signs of the "end times" ...]
We were in our local closeout store today, here we have Big Lots.
OK, it was 94 degrees outside, and this was all on display in the store - swimming pool accessories, garden tools, Halloween decorations, and Christmas decorations! All at once!
Never saw this one before, not on the last day of August!
There's something in Scripture about not knowing one season from another, or not knowing winter from summer.

Um...one season's ending, another's beginning, and there's stuff for people who shop really early. Or else Big Lots always has a weird hodge-podge of stuff simply because that's what happens when their business model is selling overstocked and discontinued stuff.
Not so hard, really. When you hear hoofprints, think horses, not unicorns, and not the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Dude, it's Big Lots. They're a closeout store- they were probably trying to get rid of their summer stock so they could start selling their fall/winter stock (and stores tend to put out halloween decorations and christmas decorations at the same time- though really it's just for consumerist purposes)
It's always the end-times for you people! Give it a rest and start living.
"There's something in Scripture about not knowing one season from another, or not knowing winter from summer. "
It's called global warming.

No, there isn't. If you knew scripture, you wouldn't be on RR. Making shit up like the death cultists is easy:
I know in scripture that before the tribulation all of our cheap plastic crap will come from china (china is either magog or nephalim or possibly Paul of Tarsus...), so it must be the end.

You people really try far too hard to make reality fit your fairy tale.
And on TV today, some shows are in their new season, while some are still running reruns. And others on TV haven't had a new show in years.
The new TV season when the old one is continuing is a sign of the end times!
"...There's something in Scripture about not knowing one season from another, or not knowing winter from summer."
Anything in there about not knowing your arse from your elbow?
(I suppose not; since it doesn't say a word about rapturists.)
...or it could be trying to move the remainder of last year's stock that didn't sell in January onto the floor in the hopes it will sell as the earliest parts of the holiday shopping season rapidly approach. This way, the store can have room for this year's inventory.
Ah, fuck it, he's too stupid to understand Basic Retail 101...
Last week I got the Sears Christmas Wish Book in my mailbox, and it wasn't even September yet!
You people are Rain Man kind of special, aren't you?

Dude, Wal*Mart (and most other department stores) do that every fucking year
It's called capitalism.
It's a Closeout Store. They have everything, at all times.
And some people love to get in really, really, really early on decorating for some reason.
Rapture Ready started out hilarious, quickly grew depressing, and now it has come full circle and is hilarious again. OMG, Christmas stuff is out in September, I'm here Jesus! xD
Yeah well, today is 65 degrees in a week that was 90 otherwise, and there's a sale on bratwursts in Hyvee.
OMG!!11 TUH RAPTURE IS HURRRRRRRRRR!!!!ONE!!!
I agree that seeing all those different decorations set up at once might be a bit disorienting, but it's not a sign of the end times, it's a sign of companies trying to hock their crap before they have to wait 'til the season comes around again while putting out the other stuff to get a leg up on income from the coming season.

A closeout store with everything that's relevant to the next four months. No! Really? Shop much? Oh, it's an RR post. Tomorrow doesn't matter
I don't know about you, but I know the seasons by the weather and temperature, the amount of foliage on the trees, which flowers are growing wild, if there are birds chirping or crickets.
Not by the decorations. It doesn't suddenly get rainy and cold when I bring out the Halloween decorations i July. Nor does it get warm and sunny if I place the Maypole on the table in November.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
