End of the World Let Down Has Bozeman Connections
A Bozeman Montana woman behind the movement to put up billboards around the world warning of the apocalypse is still holding out hope for the end at some point, while others say the rapture has already happened, it’s just not obvious.
Marie Exley, who helped put up apocalypse-themed billboards in Israel, Jordan and Lebanon, said the money allowed the nonprofit to reach as many souls as possible.
She said she and her husband, mother and brother read the Bible and stayed close to the television news on Friday night awaiting word of an earthquake in the southern hemisphere. When that did not happen, she said fellow believers began reaching out to reassure one another of their faith.
“Some people were saying it was going to be an earthquake at that specific time in New Zealand and be a rolling judgment, but God is keeping us in our place and saying you may know the day but you don’t know the hour,” she said Saturday, speaking from Bozeman, Mont. “The day is not over, it’s just the morning, and we have to endure until the end.”
Others say we are simply not paying attention to what actually got sucked up to heaven: in a few markets, Kaiser rolls have gone missing, as well as all airline ads except Delta.
I believe that there’s a perfectly logical scientific explanation for folks like ms. exley. You see, after a few generations of careful selective inbreeding, what you get is a genetic mutation of a perfect religiofundiwackmentalist kristyeean, someone who is SO ignorant that they leave ALL critical thinking skills behind, (left behind) and make the great leap of faith! These are some really, really sad sorry sumbitches who will believe ANYthing!
Thus, they are also the perfect teawankers! They have combined their religious insanity with their political insanity! And they’re selfish to boot. Talk about instant gratification! Hell, THESE buffoons do NOT want to carry their crosses no matter what they might be (and let’s face it. most of the time, life is a shit sandwich), but they DO want INSTANT salvation! Drive THROUGH salvation. Drive BY salvation! PuhRAISE Vitory!
What a bunch-o lazy bastards! They’ve given up. Faith, hope, and love they have none! Hope? Forgetaboutit! They just want out. Faith? Only as they think it benefits THEM! (god blesses godly folks with lots of money!) Love? They love fairy tales and myths. These are NOT people to be taken seriously!
That is why they make such wonderful rightwing morons. They LOVE them some sound bites, short-term solutions, and easy answers. JAYSUS! That’s all you need! It’s like a cosmic Jeopardy Game! They win every time! “Who was JAYSUS”! Why yes! Thas right! Again! You WIN!
If you’re a moronic fundiwackmentalist, no NEED for subltety, critical thinking, OR planning for the future, either yours or that of anyone else or the planet. JAYSUS is the only answer! No need to worry bout others if you have your “personal” relationship with JAYsus!
Again, these are some extremely pathetic examples of God’s creatures. HE gave them a brain, but they chose not to use it! And they weren’t raptured. Hmmm. COULD be that God don’t like morons neither!! He don’t seem to be in any big hurry to put up with the bullsh*t up there! And really, can ya BLAME Him?!

Wish they had taken Denny….the Mt. Legistlature etc
Hey there fellow Montanan’s,
Take heart. I know for a fact that the Marie Exley quoted in the AP article that went around the world about Judgement Day, May 21, is NOT FROM MONTANA or living in Bozeman. If you read carefully, you will notice that she was “speaking from Bozeman” not that she lives there or is a resident. I know because I rented my vacation home near Bozeman, to her for a few days which happened to include May 21. She must have talked to AP reporters via telephone or the Internet from my house on Friday night. She seems like a very nice person whom I would probably like if it wasn’t for her difficult to believe religious point of view. I guess that I should feel honored that she chose my home to be “raptured and ascend to heaven” since she had never been to Montana before and just wanted a beautiful place to relax and enjoy her “last days” with her husband and family. I wish her well and hope she finds what she is looking for.
This crazy broad had ENOUGH moola to rent a vacation home in Montana from which to be raptured??????? PuhRAISE Vitory! She is truly blessed!
But ya gotta wonder just WHO made the most money off’n this scam? And that, of course, is EGGSACKLY what it was! These fundis are notorious for hosin’ one another in the name of the LORD! It was a giant CLUSTERflock! The flock CLUSTERflocked each other once again! DAMN I wish I could’a got in on some of that action! Then, I too could be truly blessed like ms. exley! Problem is that I’m just too damned ETHICAL to be a good Christian!
I know, I know, and for that I am truly sorry! I’ll pray, meditate, send money, and try harder in the future to hose my fellows in fellowship! Hey, SOMEbody’s gotta do it!!!
I’m missing a black hat. I suppose, looking from above, it looked like I was wearing it? Anyway, I want it back.
There is no news value to this. It just shows you how dumbed-down or bored the press must be. Corporate America owns mass media. Stupid junk like this takes your mind away from other issues that they preferred you not think about. Never mind that we are now in perpetual war, and have been for the last ten years.
What issues do you think we should think about, oxbo? Keep in mind you have ex-cluded Obama’s continuation of our efforts to steal oil from barefoot peasants everywhere.
“Never mind that we are now in perpetual war, and have been for the last ten years.”
Very good point, ox, but there’s a reason why so much intellectual energy gets spent on non-stories: Reporters are not allowed to expend their energy on real journalism, reporting on the activities of powerful people. Those who do soon find themselves on the outside looking in, or languish at the bottom of the food chain (“he lost objectivity”).
As the Book of Matthew states, only the Father knows when the ‘Rapture’ will occur, not false prophets and profiteers preying on the ignorance and fear of people who should be more concerned with the present.
As noted in other sources, apparently the Rapture sucked away all viable candidates for the presidency from the Republican party.
I’ve been making fun of this group for about two weeks now, and I must say, I have even done some research on this group, and Im still a Christian of non denominationalism. I still believe there is a God, I still believe that God sent Jesus to die for the sins of man kind, and I still think Harold Camping, James Dobson and several others are still people that need straight jackets and rubber rooms.
Careful farmboy. The condition is progressive; and ultimately fatal.
Never have come to grips with the ‘Jesus died for our sins’ hypothesis. Don’t get the connection. Why could he not just say ‘hey, knock that shit off!’ and get on with his other business. His reaction, grandiose enabling suicide, seems a bit extreme.
God likes him some Kaiser rolls, that’s all I got ta say about that.
I comment each time I like a post on a site or I have
something to add to the conversation. It’s a result of the sincerness communicated in the article I browsed. And on this article End of the World Let Down Has Bozeman Connections |. I was actually excited enough to leave a comment :) I actually do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be only me or do a few of the comments appear like coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional places, I would like to keep up with you. Could you list every one of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
