My wifes sister just told me that she spent election night with two fundie McCain supporters

[NNN0LHI]

She said after Iowa came in the two fundies began speaking in tongues and praying for the angels to come down and convince the people in California to vote for McCain. She said after the election was called for Obama she was sure both of these two McCain supporters were going to go into seizures. They were foaming at the mouth. She said she was an inch from calling the cops and 911 she was so scared of what she was witnessing several times.

They kept repeating that Obama was the anti-Christ and that within two years the world was coming to an end.

46%.

:crazy:

1. ROFLMAO! I shouldn't laugh. Mental illness is a serious thing

Where was your poor wife's sister that she ended up spending the night seeing such horrific visions??

[NNN0LHI]

6. At one of the wackos house

My wifes sis doesn't have a lot of friends. She spends a lot of time down here at our place.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

12. Poor thing! Man! That's rough having to spend time with people like that! nt

[valerief]

7. The local nuthouse obviously. nt

[Sarah Ibarruri]

13. Yes LOL! nt

[Puzzler]

2. Clearly...

... either:

1) God was not listening to their prayers, or

2) God doesn't exist.


Of course, don't confuse these fundies with any kind of logic.

[nugzie]

17. I'm sure God was listening to their prayers...

and thinking, "cut it out you crazies, I voted for Obama!"

[backscatter712]

36. God always answers prayers...

sometimes, the answer is "WTF are you smoking?!"

[TankLV]

30. Or 3) - "god" WAS listening to them, and he PREFERRED OUR PRAYERS!

and REJECTED their "wishes" as NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF HUMANITY...!!!

[madmom]

39. Wasn't it palin who said she was sure god would do what was right for the country? Well.....

[Hekate]

49. I was praying, too. I've been praying for 8 long miserable years. And finally...

... when it doesn't go their way, the wingnuts think there must have been some mistake.

I have to say, it must have been terrifying to witness two mental breakdowns like that.

At least in my house there were happy screams. Happy happy joy joy. :bounce:

Hekate

[zulchzulu]

3. Real Fundies voted for Obama

Last I checked, the End Times are GOOD for fundies. They get to go to Heaven while we get thrown into a lake of fire... forever. So, you'd think they would want to meet their maker and go to Heaven. A REAL fundy would vote for Obama because they get to Heaven sooner.

Maybe they are unbelievers...

:rofl:

[dana_b]

4. I guess I didn't hear those angels

I live near San Francisco and I don't think there were reports of any angels swooping down that night.

Glad your sister lived through that. ;-)

[roseBudd]

5. speaking of the end times has anytone checked out the rapture ready forum lately?

[dana_b]

9. no, but I've been hearing about John Nelson Darby lately

and I think he was a mental case. what's the link? I'd like to understand what my sister really believes in (she believes in all this).

[roseBudd]

28. here is the link, they were ecstatic when Israel was shelling Lebanon...

44. do they have anything against Biden? They don't like

Obama but are praying that nothing happens to him because they don't want Biden?

What's the cuff against him and freepers??? :popcorn:

I reacted the exact same way when I saw the Fox headline. Uncontrollable sobbing. I ran to the toilet dry heaving. Then I prayed for us to go home. My husband is not yet saved. We need to pray!


Good Gawd. :crazy:

[Sebass1271]

51. : ).. didn't the lord answered our prayers? according to them

the word of the lord is the last... haven't they thought that GOD wanted Obama to win??

really.. why are these people so against him and who told them the lord is against Obama??

:eyes:

[roseBudd]

58. Apparently may of the rapture ready women have unsaved husbands

so they are going to be lonely up there

[progressoid]

63. And I wonder what God thinks of them sleeping with heathens!

Oh. Wait. With all that crazy going on, their husbands probably aren't sleeping with them. :eyes:

[Franzia]

61. "I ran to the toilet dry heaving" - What is the sound of a trumpetcall?

:crazy:

[dana_b]

75. wow...

I don't understand them. I have to read more but they really seem like two-issue voters - gay marriage and abortion. I guess the loss of thousands of lives in war is alright. Very strange.

[jwirr]

32. I have read about John Nelson Darby who was the perpetrator of

the religious idea of the "any moment now" coming of Christ and the second coming and rapture. He lived in the 1830s Scotland/England. His writings can be read in "Collected Writings of J. N. Darby" edited by William Kelly. Reprinted 1972 and "Letters of J. N. D" also printed in 1971. A more important book for your interest is a book that pretty much debunks Darby is "The Incredible Cover-Up" by Dave MacPherson. These are all very old books and will probably be very hard to find. I have this last one which was published by Omega Publications of Medford, Oregon in 1980.

[dana_b]

74. interesting...

I would like to read a little bit more about him since he's had such a big impact on people, even in my family. Thanks!

[valerief]

11. Here? I get all my Rapture Index news from CNN. Well, I did when they

were broadcasting it. Maybe they'll start up again.

[RebelOne]

65. I check it out every morning. I need a good laugh to start the day. n/t

14. Holy numatictomivinu!

Was she able to slip some Haldol into the bean dip? :crazy:

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Damnit people! You can't post stuff like this without a link to the video!

Damn, now where is that video of that toothless dog?

[NNN0LHI]

19. Toothless dog. Funny you should mention that

Took my old Keeshond in to have his teeth cleaned last year and the vet found a bad tooth that he had to pull. I called my wife on my cell to give her the details and she said in her sorrowful way, "Oh Don, please don't bring me an old toothless dog home." She was almost in tears.

We kid around with each other about our old toothless dog all the time now.

16. They sound like typical sect members. Ask them if you can have their cars

after the rapture takes them.

[tom_paine]

18. Now THAT'S some real live netertainment. besides, Bushler has filled more criteria to be the Anti-

-Christ than Obama, who has yet to even take office.

Read Revelations, and of course that wonderful "joke" site "George W. Bush is the AntiChrist".

20. In defense of fundies

I know several who voted for Obama because they think he is the most devout Christian who was in the race and because Obama and Biden are stronger on environmental issues.

[smoogatz]

40. Those aren't real fundies.

Real fundies don't give a damn about the environment, because whatever happens to it is all part of God's plan. The only issues they care much about are abortion and whatever's on the ballot that will fuck with gays/blacks/Mexicans.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

64. In my opinion

there is no rational defense of "fundees" and I find it difficult to believe that anyone knows TWO who would vote for the antichrist... also - a fundee is not the person I would pick to fix environmental problems since they do not believe there are any environmental problems.

[Speck Tater]

21. I thought they WANTED the world to come to an end.

Can't these people get their goals straight?

[mondo joe]

22. I hope he is the AntiChrst just so I can laugh at the fundies.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

23. We have patients

who have come into the clinic terrified by "anti-Christ" rhetoric they've heard in church. It's pitiful to see how frightened they are.

[Tutonic]

24. Oh my! You deserve to get recommended for this post! Foaming

at the mouth!!! HAaaaaaa!

[gratuitous]

25. Have your sister-in-law write it down

The date and the loony pronouncements both. And then each month when she pops by to visit them, remind them of their predictions. Because otherwise, they'll "forget" and move on to some other hare-brained delusion. Just take a little snapshot and bring them back to it again and again. One of two things will happen, and one of them is that they'll start shaking off the snake oil they're being regularly fed. (The other, of course, is that they'll simply refuse to see reality, but if that's what happens, then your sister-in-law can walk away at least knowing she tried to bring them back to earth.)

[Downtown Hound]

26. LOL! Even if God had answered and given CA to McCain

Obama still would have won. :D

[Caretha]

27. My response instead of calling 911

would have been dumping a bucket of ice cold water on their hysterical asses.

[reflection]

31. Were they male, female or what?

I glanced through the story and I see no reference to the sex of these two people. It is indeed a hilarious story.

[NNN0LHI]

37. Two girlfriends of my wifes sister

[Faygo Kid]

33. Whew. I've had some bad company on given evenings, but what nutcases.

I fear we underestimate the danger to Obama. Reading stuff like this reminds me of the insanity out there.

[Starry Messenger]

34. California!!

That is insane. :silly: That would have taken a big bang type "miracle" to bring about.

[Crunchy Frog]

35. I can't imagine a better election night entertainment.

Why can't I ever find myself in a situation like that? :rofl:

[Sebass1271]

52. ;

:rofl:

true.. it would have been hysterical for me to experience such thing!

[Taverner]

38. Fuck-N-A

Yes, every time I come across this I just can't fathom that level of delusion

I mean, you really have to suspend disbelief for that one

[Skittles]

41. I would have just kicked their foaming asses

[smoogatz]

42. A lot of fundies--including Sarah Palin--really believed that God

would intervene and somehow make McCain president (a la Bush in 2000, maybe). If you believe that God takes a personal interest in fixing elections here in the U.S., and then the "wrong" guy wins (a guy you've been assured is a Marxist baby-killing Muslim terrorist), you're going to run into some serious cognitive dissonance.

[StreetKnowledge]

57. God probably looks at Sarah Palin and says....

....why did I give this woman the ability to reproduce once, let alone five times?!

The Christian right are hypocrites. They always stress freedom of religion, but only for them. The Mormons should immediately lose tax-exempt status for their churches after their development of Prop 8. And that's just for starters.

[Sparkly]

68. I think God looks at her and says...

"Oops."

[firedupdem]

43. Nuts! I would have left the house immediately!

I went to a friends church once...got there a little late. The preacher was in full rage mode and there was a lady staggering around and bumping into stuff. I asked my friend what was wrong with the lady and she said "you've never been DRUNK in the spirit?". What the hell? I've been drunk plenty of times...just not at church!

[bridgit]

45. "and convince the people in California to vote for McCain"!? That would've taken much more...

than the misplaced crocodile tongues, tears & fears of two rapture-ready-set-go rubes from Iowa it befalls me to report

[yellowcanine]

46. Would have been good to have one of those spray bottles filled with water handy.

Couple of squirts to cool them down, bring them back to reality.

Like Jim did to Dwight on an episode of "Office" I think it was the time when Dwight had the concussion.

[yellowcanine]

47. People like that need an "intervention" and a 12 step program to break their religion addiction.

I am serious.

"My name is Mary and I am addicted to religion."

[peacetalksforall]

48. What's the definition of a cult? I can't see anything different from what I've

read of the ultra devotion and bizarre faith to an extremely negative, exclusive, superior, hate filled concept - preached by mortals who want a lot of money from their full of faith followers.

Darn! How many anti-christs have there been?

(By the way - is the 'c' in anti-christ capitalized?)

[Kip Humphrey]

53. In 2 years?!!! Shucks, And I was planning so on 2012 too.

self-actualizing idiots. :banghead:

[Ladyhawk]

54. My mom is this nuts and I stayed FAR, FAR AWAY from her on election night.

It took drastic measures to get her to leave me the fuck alone, so now I'm careful never to bring up religion or politics (as best I can). When it is someone that close to you, believe me, it is NOT entertaining. It is horrific.

[bluedawg12]

55. When the rapture comes "in two years" the fundys will disappear?

Phew.

[mwei924]

56. I'd just like to see their reaction after they die and realize there is no heaven...

..or that they ended up in hell. LOL.

[EmilyAnne]

59. If he was the antichrist, what's it to them?

They determined he was the antichrist through biblical prophesy. So, when the antichrist comes into power just as prophesied, what difference does it make? Why even bother to vote since the outcome is already ordained.

Of course, I'm an atheist so its all BS to me.

[Hubert Flottz]

60. Well for Christ's Snakes...

My advice to them would not be to "MOVE ON", but to "Roll With It Baby"

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Dont stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door, Ill tell them you aint there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luckll come and then slip away, youve gotta move, bring it back to stay

You just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby, hang on and just roll with it, baby

62. If only your sister-in-law had known -

she could have sold tickets to the show. Poor, poor fundies. They need to consider putting on their space suits and drinking the Kool-Aid.:rofl:

[ColoradoMagician]

66. Do they know which date it will end?

The conservatives always seem to predict the future, but they never fill us in.

McCain - knew how to get BinLaden.

These people know when the world will end. Could we have the date and time? Cause that day I will eat all the bad foods we aren't supposed to eat. Nothing like clogging the arteries on the last day of earths existence.

[pecwae]

67. Why would she go

and why would she stay? :shrug: Seems to be better uses of time.

[PinkoDonkey]

69. Hard to imagine

Can't imagine being that mentally enslaved by ignorance and fear. Crazy people like these women and sarah palin who think the world is a magical place with space gods or holy books in 'reformed egyptian' or that said space gods favor one ethnic group over the other--i don't think we share the same reality. i've met some evangelicals, some true believers before, but never an actual nut like those two...

[LatteLibertine]

70. To the OP

I can't say I haven't heard of these sort of things and yes I find them quite disturbing.

One can only hope we continue to evolve as a people.

[formercia]

71. Better stock up on canned goods.

No point in paying off my credit card and instead make minimum payments, just in case. :rofl:

[NeedleCast]

72. I would have tried to get them to wager on the two year thing

Bet them 100 bucks that the world isn't going to come to an end in two years. If it doesn't, you collect 100 bones. If it does, you still end up not having to pay.

win-win

[Dukkha]

73. these kind need to be convinced suicide with hasten the rapture

and it is God's will that they must do so to stop the evil Obama!
