Ok, I don't feel so out of the loop now - thanks!

I won't be worrying about it. Not that it would do any good if I did.

We don't need to watch the news - we can just go to the movies!

LOL!!!! Good one hehehe

I mean I'm not really worried, I just don't believe it will end either in 2012. But thinking about " the end " gets me sad. I do enjoy life and whats around me. I just had a friend that I haven't seen in over 15 years come over and we got to talking and she got me thinking about it all! LOL

I guess I'm in the dark ages. I had no idea the world was coming to and end in 3 years.

Well I guess "Que sera sera"

I believe it's all in Gods hand. Who knows he may say it's up in the next five seconds, or five, five days, years? I have enough to worry about without worrying about that.

That's right, it does no good to worry cause it is all predetermined

Well, I liked the movie until the submarine thing, then it lost me....LOL

Anyways, seeing a place where i live (L.A.) get turned into the sea ...well, wasnt the best to watch LOL

Anyways, I think that only GOD can predict when the world will end and for all we know it could be today, maybe the Mayans didnt get around to go past 2012....they sure didnt last until then

[spiritwings1202]

I don't believe that the end is near. Time is so different to God, so there is no way that we could possible fathom when the end is near.
Thank God he understand far more than us!

In the end... It is in Gods hands. If we worry too much about it we won't enjoy what is around us currently.

I agree ... besides, we are to "Take no thought for tomorrow .... " and if we continue to have a YT calendar every year we're OK anyway!!

went to see the movie and had bad dreams about it for 2-3 nights. I chose not to think about it anymore.

I think it's just like when we had all the drama over 'the millenium' - lots of hype doom and gloom and things went fine.

We really never know what the future holds but if anyone heard about Orsen Wells & his 'War of the Worlds Martian Invasion' radio thing in 1938 ....it caused total panic then outrage when people finally realized it was fiction.

if they had the internet that would have never happened but in those days radio was the only media I think

yup ! I agree. Though it would be kind of cool to still have dinasours and proof of beings from other planets out there ( I DO believe in that but there is so much coverup who knows)

the history of the world is pretty interesting when you think about it.

Flip side is ....the history of the world now involves terrorists who would think nothing of wiping out everyone with chemical weapons. (like the Chernobyl disaster) and that IS a valid fear but not to stress over unless we were actually faced with it.

I think just like the predictions made for the year 2000 you've got a bunch of people making alot of money selling books and scaring a large number of people. I wonder if the suicide rates will suddenly shoot up as people with depression or other illnesses latch on to this latest deal and decide to end it out of fear for dying in the horrors pedicted in these books and films. If thesse people really beleived the rubbish they spout then why are they charging so much money for their books? If non of us are going to be here in three years why would they need so much cash? Of corse they always say that if we change our ways now we can save ourselves, great get out of jail free card.

...could be a great marketing ploy to get shoppers to spend NOW vs later...
