It would seem that dementia is going to get him before anything (or any one) else does.
Hell, he's already 80% of the way there now.

Its funny how the Chruch condems psychic abilities, yet when they get visions from 'God' its somehow different

On another point, the things he is predicting could be predicted by anybody with any intelligence, they are hardly specific - I mean, if God was really talking to him, why would he say 'Late 2007'

That's a good argument that God really does talk to him.

See? You said "anybody with any intelligence" could think of those things, my joke played on the fact that he doesn't have any intelligence.
Oops, did I forget my laughie emoticon again? I guess a dry delivery doesn't work too well here. So much for my Bob Newhart impression. Yes, it's fine if you don't get that one, either.

Oh sorry, your posts must be too intellgent for me to understand

We used to have to watch the 700 Club in class at a religious flake school I went to for a couple of years. I swear even twenty years ago those people spent more money on instructional cassette tapes and motivational message stickers than Amway sales people! One day there was a hurricane that Mr. Robertson and television satellite family prayed to have turned away from Virginia Beach and toward the sinful New York City. Man, did they do a church lady superior dance on that wacked out thing. I was already told I was possesed by then for making my teacher cry when I heckled a religious singer on the same show earlier.

Let's hope this kind of stuff stays funny, but geez is it sad in so many ways too! And I'm Canadian... how much weirder have things been down south??? I do not understand how the whole 'Christian media industry' thing has come from a collection of ancient writings. They have their own books nobody else buys, their own CDs, their own tv and radio stations, THEIR OWN FLOOR CLEANER, where do they rejoin the rest of society and get a bit of fresh air and perspective on things? Most Christians are not show-off egomaniacs who proclaim themselves saved and direct messengers of God like this, just as most Muslims are not psychotic hate-filled future human bombs. I'd say this guy is going senile except I know he has pretty much been like this for a long time now.

God bless everyone who has a brain and some humility, and protect us all from fanatics.

I would doubt that. But, you did use ====> that guy, so I thought I would explain.

Wow, and I thought I cried easily. Of course you are possessed. By the spirit of some comedian, no doubt.

Unfortunately insularity is the most effective way to keep a belief system reinforced.
Wait, they have their own floor cleaner?

That school experience gave me one thing, I realized how comparitively normal I really was. Unfortunately their high school accreditiation was revoked and we were never told even though they still got some funding from the government to teach lower grades, and thus I went there for two and a half years for absolutely nothing, and my Mom worked a cafeteria job the whole time to pay their fees... for nothing. They are still going under a different name, Lighthouse or some similar sounding b.s. I guess if you believe in those awful Left Behind books then they will get squished like grapes full of blood for that by an eighty foot Jesus while I laugh at them from the safe clouds.

"And now after the Rush Limpdick no-spin news hour we'll have another forty minutes of purrraise on purrraise 102.5 FM, followed by G. Gordon Loopy where he speculates how long until someone shoots Hilary, brought to you by Rapture floor-cleaner available at your door or support our president prayer group meeting... Rapture floor-cleaner, it'll put a twinkle in your eye!"

Ever sinces that seven days thing, God's not really into timetables.

These are probably the same people that Miss Cleo made millions off of.
