December 21 marks the winter solstice and the end of a cycle called the 13th b'ak'tun.
1.Will we see a few who want to join the celestial parade ala those who wanted to hop on a comet a few years ago.
2.Should Koolaid and Vodka be banned Dec. 20th.
3.Will the Wt. come out with an article making fun of those who 'falsely predict the end of the world'
I'll take bets on #3
Goods points, seriously I hope we don't have an ice storm and power lines go down no Internet (me New England)
You guys on the East Coast already had your 'Apocalypse Sandy' you don't need another for 100 years.
Well there is a new twist to the end of the Mayan Calendar.
Recently the Pope has the discovered that Christ's birth date is wrong.
His next revelation will be the commencement of the Mayan Calendar. That will give us some more years.
Better stock up on some more Vodka, we're gonna need it.
The January 2013 Public edition of the Watchtower mentions December 21, 2012 on page 4.
The opening words read, “How do you feel about December 21, 2012, the date of the Maya calendar that many have been saying would bring worldwide change?...Was it just another incorrect prediction for the end of the world?”
On page 8 they have an article with the title, “Have Jehovah’s Witnesses given incorrect dates for the end?” Here are the highlights that reflect their errors in predictions:
1. We agree with the sentiments of longtime Witness A. H. Macmillan, who said: “I learned that we should admit our mistakes and continue searching God’s Word for more enlightenment.”
2. Likewise, we have had some wrong expectations about the end. But we are more concerned with obeying Jesus and saving lives than with avoiding criticism.
I wonder what kind of enlightenment they should be seeking from the Bible to get better answers. Maybe the old ways aren’t working and something new needs to be tried. They have been making big changes leading up to a virtual only magazine along with modified meeting times I wonder what big change is next? Closure of Kingdom Halls and Webcasts straight from bethel pumped right into your home?
'2.Should Koolaid and Vodka be banned Dec. 20th.'
Naah. Let em take their trip. Freedom of movement and all that yaknow. If they wanna leave the planet, bonvoyage, is all i have to say. Just don't let em kill their kids, or anything like that.
I would bet on number 3, too.

I'd be more worried about America falling over the "Fiscal Cliff" on December 31st.
Come December 22nd, we'll know all there was to know about December 21st
I think that since we're all going to die anyway it would be more fun if we could all go together. finding friends for the end of the world cross your fingers that the mayans knew something
