    Cults quite commonly use made-up prophecy to bolster their membership. For example, beginning around 1918, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society – today commonly known as ‘Jehovah’s Witnesses’ – began teaching that the Old Testament saints–Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and King David, etc.–would all be returning from the dead in 1925! They were so ‘convinced’ of this happening that they built a big, expensive mansion in San Diego where those guys were all to live (prior to traveling to Jerusalem, where they would oversee the establishment of the new world).

    You just can't make this stuff up!

    Thank goodness I decided to splurge and bought a king size pack of Hubba Bubba bubble gum before the shelves are all emptied!

    I will sell 'go bags' for those about to be raptured, ruptured or whatever else their nutty delusion promises.

    The 'go bags' may seem to be expensive (£70,000 for a tin of beans), but the money won't do me any good because god is goint to murder me anyway.

    (Warning: I might be taking the mick).
