"The rapture is imminent, even the first Christians were waiting expectantly for it."

'Apparently, the Rapture is imminent*.'
-Stephen Fry, "QI"
Yes, ladies and germs of FSTDT, Ruptured Retards has had the piss ripped out of it in front of millions of British TV viewers! >:D
*- And the intellectual giant that is Stephen Fry would recommend you invest in a good dictionary; say, the two-volume Concise Oxford English Dictionary, and look up the word 'Imminent' & it's definition (emphasis added):

And in the above YouTube clip from that particular edition of "QI", the blessed Mr. Fry goes into detail about the Millerites, and how they'd waited (and no doubt those way before then), for what would ultimately be known as 'The Great Disappointment'. So what about those who - immediately after said Great Disappointment - split away from the now completely fucked Millerite Movement, and formed separate fringe sects/religions: the Seventh-Day Adventists, right up to the Jehovah's Witlesses. And those who waited right up to the moment they carked it on their deathbeds, eh Ruptured Retards? You. Tell. Me.
Question: how many - way before the formation of RR - had done the same: waited, and experienced their own Great Disappointment, without their J-man blowing his horn, going down and sucking them off? I'd hazard a guess that the percentage of such was... 100%.
Moral: If he hadn't done it way before then, thus his 'believers' suffering crushing Great Disappointment of their own before they experienced brain-death via hypoxia, what the fuck makes you think your J-man is going to blow his horn, go down & suck you lot off in your lifetimes?! And there had been far worse socio-political conditions, compared to the so-called 'End Times' you claim are happening now: WWII. And how - at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the only time a US president (JFK in this case) had ordered DefCon 2 - the US was just a few minutes away from going to DefCon 1; and you know what that means (thank fuck it was Khrushchev that blinked first! >_< ). Nope, no '(C)Rapture' then. You do the maths, Ruptured Retards.
