What to wear for the Rapture?

[redrako]

I've paid all of my bills until Saturday, but not next week, but I have a dilemma.

I'm not sure what time the world is ending on Saturday and SWMBO has us scheduled to go a housewarming party. I'm wondering what to wear that is appropriate for both a social get together and the rapture?

In the event the world ends while we are at the party, should I plan on bringing my shave kit? Do I need to bring my emergency Shavepocalyse kit, or will quality wet shaving products be available in heaven?

[Legion]

I don't think I'd get out of my pyjamas...

I hope your rapture goes well. I will not be joining you guys, I plan on sticking around a bit longer.

[Jim]

I thought that was in June?

[Mako72]

Personnaly I would go with a speedo and flip flops. I figure if you look at TSA checks here to fly one state over the trip to heaven has to have some major screening:w00t:. As for the shave kit, yes bring it but only a cartridge razor as bare DE blades are forbidden on the ascencion:lol:!

PS- And no liquids over 3oz so that rules out that bottle of housewarming wine, see I just saved ya $10!(or $20 if your not cheap like me!)

[The Nid Hog]

I've been trying to get a clarification on this, but no luck. Is that GMT?

[ouch]

Buying up all your stock, 5 cents on the dollar.

[professorchaos]

No advice on what to wear though I'd choose something comfortable and flame retardant.

Whatever else you do, bring a towel. It is a massively useful thing.

[Austin]

I will be carrying my lucky rabbits foot.

[DFrancis]

Don't panic, I think we have six months until the destruction of the planet. I wonder what the righteous get to shave with after they are called up?

[dpm802]

I understand your dilemma. I myself have to attend a wedding. I was hoping to wear something sporty, so that when the rapture comes, I could easily avoid all the people whose world will end, but seems like I have no choice but to wear a suit. Seems my only solution now is to avoid large crowds and stand near the exit.

As yours is only a dinner party, I would recommend something classy, but casual if your world is not ending, to avoid everyone else whose world is ending. Otherwise, get something a bit more classy. And bring a Tide-To-Go (http://www.tide.com/en-US/product/tide-to-go.jspx) in case it gets messy.

[jansob]

I've been wishing that some rapture-believer would sign over their house or car to me...they won't be needing it after Saturday, right? But I don't seem to know anyone that gullible.

[Stubblefield]

I'm personally holding out for the end of the world in 2012 as predicted by the Mayan calendar. And yes, I'm bringing a towel. Or a toque, depending on the weather.

[dpm802]

I've been wishing that some rapture-believer would sign over their house or car to me...they won't be needing it after Saturday, right? But I don't seem to know anyone that gullible.There was a guy with a huge billboard about "Judgement Day" in the bed of his pick-up truck in front of Trader Joe's a few weeks ago. This was a nice looking truck. Very new, very shiny, with all the bells and whistles. The guy behind the wheel looked kind of scary, though ... I wanted to ask him what it was all about, but he looked like he'd talk my ear off.

[coachschaller]

I would not worry too much about what to wear. Should it happen on May 21st you will either get a new robe (heaven), or your clothes will get burned up (Sheol). If you are "left behind" your clothes should be chosen as normal. I think the group is a post-tribulation rapture, so there might not be anyone "left behind." So if their math is right, and their pre/mid/post rapture is correct, you will not need to worry about what to wear. If they are off somehow, I suggest asking SWMBO since most fashion decisions are her (at least in my house) area of expertise.
Choose wisely,
Daren

p.s. I assume leaving the travel kit at home will be just fine. Either we won't be shaving or there will be some really nice razors with the perfect blade available.

[ouch]

Damn, and I look so bad in robes. I guess I'll just hang out here, rifling throught the frozen food section at Whole Foods. No cashiers!

[redrako]

I had wondered about time zones for the end of the world as well.

I'm assuming that if the world end time zone by time zone. I am also troubled by a friends suggestion that the worlds end has something to do with the Oprah show ending?

[Mr. Scruffy]

I'm going out the way I came in, wearing a pink and wrinkled birthday suit.

[DemonGeminiX]

So you guys are really assuming that you'd all be going to heaven (if heaven exists, that is)? Wow, y'all are confident. :lol:

I'm wondering how the world is really going to end on Saturday. Will it be a killer virus outbreak? Asteroid? A worldwide nuclear attack? A zombie apocalypse? Will the sun suddenly go Red Giant without warning? Worldwide natural cataclysms? Will aliens attack and wipe us out?

[Obsessed]

I've been trying to get a clarification on this, but no luck. Is that GMT?

I believe it's 6 p.m. in each timezone. It's a rolling Judgement Day.

[_JP_]

I'm not going to worry about clothing, I figure that everybody will be stripped of all earthly possessions anyway.

OK, I'll wear a kilt.

[coachschaller]

Me too!

[airmech]

If it is at six I should be alright and back home by then. I was worried that it might interfere with our DFW get-together at 2!!! I will see all y'all in heaven!!!

[BrianL]

+1 and I will start wearing that on casual Friday to boot.:thumbup:

[mdevine]

At work today, the ladies I work with asked how I would like to spend the next couple of days as they may be the last. I told them that what I would like to do requires the consent of SWMBO. Unfortunately, I think her idea of the ideal way to enjoy our final hours isn't exactly the same as mine.

[redrako]

...requires the consent of SWMBO. Unfortunately, I think her idea of the ideal way to enjoy our final hours isn't exactly the same as mine.

Which suggests that the world may not end at all.:001_smile

See, thats what I thought also...where did May 21st 2011 as the date of the end of the world come from?

Seems every other day someone is pulling a different date out of their a**

Anyway I have my bugout bag ready and waiting. Chalk full of Apocalypse survival gear...

-a snickers bar

No reason for me to dress special. I will not be going anywhere.

I can't believe someone would want to profit on others like this at such a time.
Thats why I'll give 10 cents on the dollar. And a couple of those little mint things from the Olive Garden.:biggrin1:

Wear a Snuggle. That way, when the world continues on as usual, you'll be able to hold your drink without getting your arms tangled up in your blanket.

If you don't have a Snuggle, don't forget your towel.

[Cerealx59]

The truth is, most people that actually believe in the "Rapture", as it has come to be known, know better than to put a date on it. The Bible is very clear on the subject...

Matthew 24:36
"But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

So we dont worry about it, and we ignore those that think they know better than God. :batman:

What's in the Bear Grylls starter kit? A pair of sunglasses, a towel, and a bucket of urine? The premium kit comes with a 5-star hotel room key...

[Sullybob]

I don't think I'd get out of my pyjamas...

:001_cool: I'm wearing a toga. It just seems like a great outfit for the end of civilization.

First of all, we are not going!! We stay!:tongue_sm

However, there might be hundred thousands or even millions going - good for them, and "Bon Voyage" :001_smile

I don't think they think it's funny. I think they're using something that's highly popular right now to illustrate the need to be prepared for a real emergency.

Face it, how many people are really ready to buckle down for the long haul if a disaster took place? Normal messages aren't reaching people. They're tapping into the tv/movie/novel zombie craze to reach those that normally wouldn't take notice of warnings.

This is actually a brilliant idea.

There's are different version of that joke - Why don't Baptists drink? Because it leads to dancing.

This is kind of what I thought. You believe in the "Rapture" but you ignore the scripture. That's why I never worry about doomsday predictions, we're not supposed to know when it happens. So I feel safe on those days, the other five days of the year I'm puckered up and repentant!:001_rolle

this is my favorite funny thing about this "prediction." So technically, those of us living on central standard time will likely know if all of you guys living in the earlier time zones start going. We should know in a few hours since it's supposed to start soon. If that's the case, I'll have tons of time to screw up my life so that I stick around. :tongue_sm

I suppose from this that God has the timezone map of the USA, so he can eject the selected persons at precisely the right time that this flock is expecting it.

I remember (and had friends who had met) Bo and Peep. They had a rapture machine. They had sheep. They showed the rapture machine up and down the California coast. My friend saw it. It looked like a phone booth with a curtain across the opening. No kidding. That was in the early 1970s.

In 1st Thessalonians 4 it states that we (believers) will be "caught up" or more accurately "snatched away" in the "twinkling of an eye", meaning instantly. To me that means all at once.

In 2nd Thessalonians 2 it states "Not to be unsettled, by rumors of the coming of the Lord" and goes onto to talk about staying resolute, and so on and so forth.

I am not attempting in any way to get into a deep religious thread here, just saying.:biggrin1:

I was taught this as well. The Lord will come like a thief in the night, you won't know when he's comming. The whole 2012 thing is taken out of context. The Mayan's state its the end of an "age" represented by an astrological animal; not the end of the world. There's no sense worrying, just live life to the fullest and when it's our time it's our time...

Hi earthbound ones. saint rob here, coming to you from the rapture. It seems it is a timezone job.
Funny thing, I had extra servings of dinner last night, so God must have cranked up his rapture machine to full power because its sucked my whole house up to heaven. Yes theres internet in heaven, but its special, so I'm able to post back in time to your saturday night on Earth.
Cant wait 'til the sun rises and I can see the rest of Heaven.

The most amazing thing is that The Big Boss of Heaven appears to me in the form of my wife !:w00t:

[dpm802]

Is it just a coincidence that The Rapture happens at the same time as The Preakness?

Read what you will into the list of contenders:

1. Astrology
2. Norman Asbjornson
3. King Congle
4. Flashpoint
5. Shackleford
6. Sway Away
7. Midnight Interlude
8. Dance City
9. Mucho Macho Man
10. Dialed In
11. Animal Kingdom
12. Isn't He Perfect
13. Concealed Identity
14. Mr. Commons

Conspiracy Theorists, Rapturists, and Non-Believers can have a field day with how they interpret some of these names.

BTW, Animal Kingdom was the winner of the Kentucky Derby, and is the favored horse today with 5-2 odds. And just think, the animal kingdom will inherit the Earth if there are no humans left.

Good news, there is still time to put something together for the rapture. Radio host Harold Camping says Rapture actually coming in October;

V. disappointing event. Will NOT attend again in October. Hopefully the Mayans will be more impressive.

[redrako]

Okay, so the world did not end. I've resumed paying my bills, but thought I should update you on the housewarming party as the end of the world time was supposed to have arrived at 6:00 pm EST.

Some time after 5:00 all of the men ended up out on a lovely porch of our friends new home. There was a lovely selection of beer, Newcastle Brown Ale, variety packs of Wachusetts Ale (a local Mass brewery) and being a warm spring day the beer was going down easily.

When seemingly nothing appeared to be different after 6 o'clock we speculated if perhaps we were in a different place and didn't know it. At that point it became obvious that our porch beer supply had had run out, so there was speculation that we were in hell. Yet when a couple of guys went to the refrigerator in the basement and restocked our porch cooler, we realize that we had only been in purgatory for a short time.

My apocalypse shave that morning was Gillette Red Tip/Astra Platinum/Cella face lathered with an Omega Pro 40 in fiery red.

I too think I'll pass on the October EOW.
