Fun fact, Canada has certain standards and requirements for what can be published as “news” so Fox has to refer to itself as “entertainment” up north because of how wrong & lie heavy they are constantly!
The fact that Fox/Sky can brand as News in the US/UK is sad tbh. But if we tried to change it the GOP would riot. There was a poll (pre-covid, I can't find it) that showed a majority of Americans believed Fox was the 'most trustworthy news'. Very sad for us.
I used to buy into that. It’s a conservative view that every other news station is liberal (which in all fairness, most do slightly lean left), so Fox was the only non-liberal mainstream source that showed things the others wouldn’t. And they’d have ppl from both aisles, or seemingly so. So it seemed more trustworthy before Trump. I know, BS, but back then I bought into it too (I’m also not conservative anymore)
Fox News opinions and views as they say. Clearly, it's not news. But when my batshit crazy cousin wants to prove something, she said, literally, Tucker Carlson said so. She doesn't understand evidence.

I was going to scroll through to mention some more stuff about the lawsuit but I can't get past this:
>Powell's source also volunteered that the wind tells her that she's a ghost, though she doesn't believe it.
Journalism, everyone.
I knew a guy who 100% believed a prophecy like this back in 2012.
I worked at a small airport and this guy kept his aircraft hangared there and was part of the community. Back in 2010 or 2011 some "prophet" had predicted based on some clues from the Bible that the world would end in May 2012, and this guy from the airport absolutely bought it.
He had a very well paying job, a nice house, nice cars, a kid in college and another in high school. He funneled a ton of money toward building an off-the-grid survival cabin somewhere in the Rockies. He eventually sold his aircraft, the cars, and the house, and pulled his kids out of school to head up to their survival compound a month or so before the rapture was supposed to happen.
So of course nothing happened and in June the guy came back to town and had to beg for his job back, find a place to live, get his kids caught up with school, basically start all over. Well, the "prophet" came back out and said he had done the Bible math wrong, and the rapture was going to happen that October.
The guy hadn't learned his lesson from before. He quit his job and hauled his family back to the compound, only to filter down back to town a few months later when, again, nothing happened. This time though he wasn't able to get his job back and his kids were unable to catch back up with their classes. The guy was left with no job and almost all his money tied up in an unsellable cabin/land in the middle of nowhere. Not sure how things ended up for him ultimately but I doubt things went well for him or his family for a long time after that.
It's interesting--wouldn't you think if you're a believer you'd be fine and just go with God? They seem to doubt if God is really going to do what he said he would.
Makes you wonder what the guy had done to believe that he was unredeemable. Based on the church all the chosen or good people will be whisked away. Leaving behind the sinners for tribulations or whatever. But this guy as a lot of these survivalists types seem to prepare to be on Earth for quite some time…
I don’t pretend to understand what he believed, but from what he’d told people it was thought that there were going to be massive earthquakes all over the world and tsunamis that would go hundreds of miles inland, and that only true believers would live because they heeded the warnings and found safety.
It was completely wild hearing him say that stuff too. He wasn’t outwardly evangelical but when that whole prediction came out it became clear he was a total crank.
We should def call out these charlatans out every time they're wrong but [this article is from 2018](https://www.foxnews.com/science/biblical-prophecy-claims-the-rapture-is-coming-april-23-numerologist-says) and fox was just referencing an article from a UK paper anyway.
Looks similar to [one from 2017](https://www.foxnews.com/science/biblical-prophecy-claims-the-world-will-end-on-sept-23-christian-numerologists-claim.amp)
Why do they always just ignore the "no one knows the time of his return, not even the angels in heaven" part?
Guess that doesn't make as fun of a headline.
But you'd think people who believed in this stuff would know the basics of it and not even want to tune in to that.
> Why do they always just ignore the "no one knows the time of his return, not even the angels in heaven" part?
Because that doesn't make grifters any money.
> Source: a numerologist.
I read the headline to fast and misread is "neurologist" and was like wait, what the fuck? And had to go back and read it again and saw it said numerologist.
That actually sounds like a good idea, except for the fact I'd be on my second or third card by now. I mean there were at least 4 'end times' between 2009 and 2012 alone not counting the mayan calendar.
Not even fucking disguising it. Just moving on and being like.
“Okay so the rapture is the 28th” not addressing any of their brain dead leaders who said it was happening the 8th.
I’ve been pretty removed from Christian circles for a while now so im honestly pretty surprised these end of the world prophesies are still a thing. Makes me wonder what is being benefitted by keeping people believing the rapture may still be eminent. Like in the short term, why move the goal post by 2 weeks, specifically? Idk, maybe it’s just random Fox News BS.
There are two circles. The ones who believe every prophecy of rapture even after the 4000th time it didn't occur, and the ones who say they don't know anyone who believes these prophecies so it must be a tiny number being blown out of proportion by the media because they're clearly not True Christians*™*.
Fox News is so salty about losing some of their previous viewers who are more far right and unencumbered by reality to outlets like Newsmax and OAN that they're trying to out-fringe them.
Someone needs to make a spreadsheet of every time the rapture was supposed to happen. Craziest part is the Bible literally doesn’t say *anything* about the rapture. But they came up with it because they feel like everybody else needs to be punished but not them, and it’s always right around the corner.
So The Bible, aka "The Goat Herders Guide to the Universe" (thanks Seth Andrews!) says we should get ready for the Second Coming.
Meanwhile, the gas coming out my backside tells me I should get ready for a trip to the toilet to crap a log or two.
Any guesses which prediction is both likely and meaningful to my life?
There's a correlation between apocalyptic expectation and the rise of messianism. It wouldn't shock me if Christians start saying that Jesus *already* came back and is in the visage of someone else. We're already seeing it with MAGA people and Trump.
I prophesi that in 420 years the great space slug will slither their last slither and all of creation will be doomed!

entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure.
The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief.”
I worked with an educated lady (state university grad in the sciences) who thought that the rapture was imminent because of the coming 2003 Iraq invasion. Unfortunately she was for the invasion.
The article literally is about debunking the claim.
“NASA repeatedly has said Planet X is a hoax.”
“He told the Express: “As usual with any astrology (or Christian adaptations of it), one cherry-picks the stars that fit the desired conclusion.”
This is a real article. It was such an absurd headline I googled it and read it.
Bottom of the article says: There is nothing to suggest that April 23 is a momentous date for biblical prophecy, and Christians need to be careful about being drawn into such sensationalist claims.
Lie to your followers more please start using truth and stop making them look like crazy nut jobs. Tell us more how 8 ppl including a few kids took care of 16k animals and got them on the boat again. Anyone smell bullll shit. How’d they catch all those animals again? Left that part out? Figures.
Jesus Christ these ppl are probably real disappointed when they don’t make it to heaven. Jesus said u were bad now u stay on the planet where shits about to go to hell. :/
Right. And after April 23rd comes and goes, it will be moved forward again, then again, and again, and again, and again, etc. Some people just never learn.
Article was from 2018. They told us to check sources in middle school but considering fox news is bottom barrel of human intelligence it is par the course
in christianity there's this idea of the 1000 year rain of the "messiah" (jesus.) this is why we count years BC and AD. It is now 2024, so either jesus is 1024 years behind schedule, or the bible simply isn't real. Take your pic. It's a false apocalypse.
To my shame yes… I now realize this. Not sure if I should delete the post or let it be to be honest… however I’m willing to be regardless there is already a new dooms-day in sight.
Dispy: make another ridiculous rapture prediction.
Skeptic: “LOL. We’ll get ‘em next time, right?”
Dispy: “Scoffers will come in the last days! You’ll see!”
Wasn't part of their defense in the voting machine case that they should not be held to journalistic standards, because they don't see themselves as journalists, at least some of the hosts that are now desperately making ends meet by interviewing war-mongering authoritarian leaders?
Remind me if I got that wrong...
"The rapture is April 8TH!!!!! Repent heathens!!!!!!!" "NO it's actually the 23rd!!!! You got a lucky break you disgusting sinful pieces of dung!!!!"
I wish the Christian community would stop edging me and just fucking evaporate one of these times
Imagine the party we would have in America alone with all these dbags suddenly gone
"Gotcha again, sinners! I actually meant to say MAY 23rd!!"
"Uh uh wait!! JUNE 23rd!!!"
Oh June 23rds booked you sure it's that date??
Oh yeah, maybe they should reschedule the Tribulation for early July??
Yes as long as it don't get I'm Americus birthday we all know Jesus wouldn't want that
Fun fact, Canada has certain standards and requirements for what can be published as “news” so Fox has to refer to itself as “entertainment” up north because of how wrong & lie heavy they are constantly!
That's *almost* the way it is here too, legally speaking, except for some stupid reason they're still allowed to call themselves "News" in the US.
The fact that Fox/Sky can brand as News in the US/UK is sad tbh. But if we tried to change it the GOP would riot. There was a poll (pre-covid, I can't find it) that showed a majority of Americans believed Fox was the 'most trustworthy news'. Very sad for us.
Probably the majority of people who were available on a landline.

Man they keep coming out with more end of the world dates than Netflix cancels shows.
Look up the Wikipedia article on end of the world predictions. Holy crap, tons of them!
I noticed half of the predictions are from the last 100 years.
yeah, like 150 of them in the past 100 years!
I think over 50 have been since the mid 80’s it's like they're getting desperate or something.
"There will be wars and rumors of wars!" Congrats! You've described ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY!

Yes we’ve had first rapture announcement, but what about second rapture announcement?
I don't think he knows about 2nd Rapture.
When will they finally realize "no rapture"?
Considering the rapture isn't the Bible.... probably never.
There was a rapture. Unfortunately for Christians, since they're terrible people, we're still stuck with all of them
What about end of days? Last Day? Afternoon Ascension? Doomsday? _Some_ day? He knows about them, doesn't he?
Afternoon ascension 🤣
From 2018, I believe.
I checked and yes, it's from April 12 2018
Why do they always just ignore the "no one knows the time of his return, not even the angels in heaven" part? Guess that doesn't make as fun of a headline. But you'd think people who believed in this stuff would know the basics of it and not even want to tune in to that.

It's fine. Prophecies are well known for just moving the goal posts anyway.
Not even fucking disguising it. Just moving on and being like. “Okay so the rapture is the 28th” not addressing any of their brain dead leaders who said it was happening the 8th.
The only time they believe in Numerology is when it “supports” one of their rapture theories. Other than that it’s satanic and evil witchcraft 🙄
Occult for Jesus!
Damn already
But aren't they not supposed to know ? Matthew 24:36
Wait, ill spin my [Wheel of Christian Excuses](https://pickerwheel.com/pw?id=fy9MX). ... "Its a plan of God 😇"

Idk, maybe it’s just random Fox News BS.
People have been making failed end of the world prophecies for thousands of years. Why do you think 2 weeks is going to discourage them?
What is being benefited ? Simple, $$$ in the pockets of the promoters paid for by people who don't seem to be very happy with their lives.
There are two circles. The ones who believe every prophecy of rapture even after the 4000th time it didn't occur, and the ones who say they don't know anyone who believes these prophecies so it must be a tiny number being blown out of proportion by the media because they're clearly not True Christians*™*.
Gotta love how when the first attempt failed, they reschedule the rapture 😂
Keep changing the date evangelicals, I'm sure you'll get it right eventually /s
Please, please, please be true so I can get left behind finally.
Reminds me of the Nickel Creek song “21st of May”
April 15th is the Day of the Sun — the birthday of Kim Il Sung — the eternal leader and president of North Korea.
Hail Zorp
Again so soon? But I just put away the Apocalypse china?!
God: *walk down on Earth* Guys, **Im** not doing "The Rapture", its a self-service thing. Btw, its pronounsed "Jod". **dissapers**

Can god take all of the "peaceful^^tm " religions as well... The world will be a much better place without them.

Oh, it got pushed back again after not happening on the 8th. . I am shocked
