Hey this is actually true, I have known for years it would end that year. Haven't you ever noticed that alot of biblical and ancient Native Americans sort of hinted at the fact that it would end and look at most Native American Civilizations, they generally had great understandings of nature and the stars. Seriously though I alwasy wanted to know which one of these would be right about the time even though there are a gazillion differnt predictions. One thing that points this one true is it somewhat matchs up with some of Nostrdomus's predictions on the time before the final days. He said that a great leader would arise in the Middle East (Osama) and a great war would begin because of him (Iraq-Next Vietnam). This one might actually be true.

The founder of JW predicted the end of the world for the early years of the 20th Century. When it didn't happen, his followers decided that they had better organize their church around an end date further away. Failed prophecy is always a bad sign and not good for attracting new converts. I don't know about any 1988 date.Mauer said:

Wow, we better get cracking. We've got to create a one-world government, divide it into 10 regions, select one true leader, and 10 other leaders, have two auxillary leaders for the first leader, etc. etc. (did I mention a dragon, and a woman, a meteor, plagues.)

It means two things: you can use the method used to find these prophesies in the 'bible code' to find prophesies in almost any book of a decent size; and that the people looking for this code probably had an idea of what they were trying to find before they started looking.PlutonianEmpire said:

According to me, the world ended in 1987. The reason it didn't really happen is that the ones responsible for it haven't realized they're late yet.
Just to show how ridiculous such prophesies are.

If Bush is reelected the end is indeed very near

December 23rd 2012 is the end of the Long Count cycle of 13 Bak'tuns (1,872,000 days), not their calender. The Mayans calculated many dates into the future, with a royal anniversary projected forward 4772 AD. it's strange that the Mayans calculated the end of the Long Count because of the dates beyond 2012.Jack the Ripper said:

It's crazy how every single doomsday prediction has come true.
Oh wait, NONE of them have.

Bah. I am pleasantly surprised every morning when the sun rises, I couldn't be bothered about TEOTWAWKI eight whole years away.

You know, years of interpreting the Bible or other such "writings", can seriously lead to (*unrepaired*)brain damage, not only for those who did the "interpreting", but also for those who listen to them.

Or perhaps they just got bored and said, "Damn, do we really need to count up until 2012?"

It was in a book I read about him, can't recall the title at the moment. I belive it was also in a number of TV documentaries. Just one of his many misses.stormbind said:
