It's interesting that Doomsday Inc, AKA the Watchtower, has been spawning false Armageddons for 120 years, but when something REALLY IS HAPPENING, 2012 to be exact, the Tower is silent. Oh, except for the fact that Armageddon is always imminent, no specific dates this time.
headisspinning, I would ask your ex if he knows about the Great Kanto Earthquake that hit Japan in 1923, when over 100,000 died. Did the GT start then?
Not that it's doomsday, but it IS the end of religion as we know it. That includes any publishing cults headquartered in Downtown Brooklyn.
