What do you think of this type of prediction? do you think it is possible for a mortal man or woman to predict the end times? Or do you think it will come out of nowhere and we will alll be caught off guard?

Answer 1

if it ends it ends, but i doubt he knows wat hes talkin about anyways. just a crazy old man who needed something to do beside set in the house & wait for his kids to come visit him when we know they never will. **** i say just go take those followers & start a buissness to help out the community & not use religion as a system of control through fear

Answer 2

This barely rises to the threshhold for news.  

A crackpot Texan predicts the end of the world and you want us to discuss it.

The world will not end, next thursday or ever, it exists forever and ever.

I can hardly contain my disdain for the whole topic.  

If you read your Bible and look for the signs to follow you will find that the "end of time" events can be predicted much like driving down the freewway, the highway signs always preceed the next events or exits.  We can't predict when the events will happpen but we can anticipate them and see the end of time approaching.  You won't be caught of guard if you do.

Answer 3

I hope not as I'm just having my first holiday abroad in 8 years!! what a way to spoil it!!

"Unfortunately for Hawkins, it is not the first time he predicted the outbreak of nuclear war.

Most recently, Hawkins set Sept. 12, 2006 as the beginning of the end.

His followers produced an on-line video with a countdown to doomsday.

In Kenya, hundreds of his followers actually hid in basement bomb shelters and donned gas masks on the date.

They went home in humiliation when there was no war. " ha ha ha haha

Answer 4

Also notice in the article that this is not the first time he has done this, and every time he demands his followers buy products from his own country to prepare for this. It's a bunch of bull. I think when it happens it will happen and we won't even realize it. I don't believe any mortal man or woman will ever be able to predict it.

Answer 5

Someone should shoot him so as to make his prediction come true for him at least.

Answer 6

You should post this in R&S so they can get a good laugh.  This is just another reason why religion in general, and religious cults in particular, are so ridiculous, and their followers so foolish.  The end of our world will be caused by natural forces, either from the earth itself or from outer space; asteroids, comets, the sun's expansion, etc.

Answer 7

I don't believe cult leaders.

Answer 8

News like that.......learning about it on Y/A......how about that.

Answer 9

This guy is a lonely, attention seeking idiot.  So are his followers.  Good grief, if the world was going to end, how come the phycics don't know about this LOL.

Answer 10

Don't believe this stupid things or you will go nuts!!

The beginning of the end of the world already started is not gonna happen in one day, it'll be slowly for years and things will get worse and worse and things are gonna go out of control. Live life at your best and love each other, care about people around you.

Answer 11

I'm supposed to go on vacation next Saturday June 14.  Maybe I'll email him and see if he can postpone his prophecy a couple more weeks.
