Doomsday believers say world will end Dec. 21, swamp French village for safety

The mountains side will be closed off for three days before and two days after the ‘doomsday’. A French village, Bugarach, is struggling to cope with the influx of Doomsday believers, mystical groups who believe a mountain in the village will help them escape the end of the world on December 21. The doomsday cultists believe a mountain in the village contains an arsenal of UFOs that will catapult them to safety in another realm while the rest of the planet perishes. The believers have held the belief since 2010 and have since then circulated rumours about the village’s ‘ability’ to provide shelter from an impending Armageddon expected on December 21, the end of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the ancient Maya calendar. The village of Bugarach in South-West France has a population of 200. Bugarach Mayor, Jean-Pierre Delord, said his village had been “overrun with esoteric weirdos” hoping to survive the doomsday. “The mountainside is swarming with hippies, many of them naked, who drop litter and make a mess,” Mr. Delord said. “This is no laughing matter. If 10,000 people turn up on December 21, our village will not be able to cope.” “There are already some websites in the US with some people selling tickets for trips to Bugarach. They are doing some business, and people are already organising visits and prayer and meditation workshops, etc,” the mayor told RTL radio. The area’s regional prefect, Eric Freysselinard, has issued an order barring people from climbing the mountain on “Doomsday”. “It will be closed off for three days before and two days after the world is supposed to end,” Mr. Freysselinard said. The story about the world ending in December 2012 started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 — hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21. “The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” NASA said on its website.

JUST DO WHAT GOD'S CALLED YOU TO DO!

JUST DO WHAT GOD'S CALLED YOU TO DO! '...Stay within the [boundaries] of the work which God has set for [you]...' 2 CORINTHIANS 10:13 Nobody is good at everything, and nobody is called to do everything. God has given each of us clearly defined roles in life. Paul understood that his job wasn't to accomplish everything or try to please everyone, but to focus on what God had called and equipped him to do: 'Our goal is to stay within the [boundaries] of the work which God has set for us.' Only as you do that will you be successful, as God defines success. Satan will try to rob you of the joy of serving by getting you to compare yourself with others, or getting you to conform to the expectations of others. Don't fall into his trap! You'll always find someone who seems to be doing a better job than you, and you'll become discouraged. Or you'll find someone who doesn't seem to be as successful as you, and you'll become conceited. Either way, you lose out. 'Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else' (Galatians 6:4 NLT). There will always be people who don't understand your God-given role in life or agree with you. That's okay; don't let it break your stride! 'Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won't be ashamed of...' (2 Timothy 2:15 TM). 'Tell them all this. Build up their courage, and discipline them if they get out of line. You're in charge. Don't let anyone put you down' (Titus 2:15 TM). John Bunyan, author of the Christian classic, Pilgrim's Progress, wrote: 'If my life is fruitless it doesn't matter who praises me. And if it's fruitful it doesn't matter who criticises me.' So, just do what God's called you to do!

AITH: THE POWER TO OVERCOME

FAITH: THE POWER TO OVERCOME '...This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.' 1 JOHN 5:4 When your health, your finances or family are at risk, you suddenly realise how fragile life is. Today you may be living on the sunny side of the street, but if you live long enough adversity will come knocking on your door. When it does, you'll discover that things like power, possessions and popularity won't sustain you. If power could do it, Joseph Stalin wouldn't have been afraid to go to sleep at night or been so paranoid that he appointed a soldier to guard his very teabags. If possessions could do it, fear wouldn't have caused billionaire Howard Hughes to live like a hermit and die alone. If popularity could do it, John Lennon's biographers wouldn't have described him as a fearful man who slept with the lights on and was terrified of germs. Earthly supports can only sustain you so long. Courage for living comes from a deep abiding trust in God, whose Word says, 'This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.' But faith is only as valuable as the thing it's placed in, and our faith is in a God who never fails! David said, 'Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes' (Psalm 44:5 NIV). Jesus said, 'I have given you authority to...overcome all the power of the enemy...' (Luke 10:19 NIV). Paul said, 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us' (Romans 8:35-37 NIV).

Barbarian Fantasized About Roasting A 2-Year-Old Boy And Eating Him Like A Thanksgiving Turkey

The U.S. attorney’s office added another child pornography count and a count of enticing a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. The enticing count carries a minimum 10-year prison sentence and a maximum life sentence. Why not the death penalty? Authorities say the Newton evil resident persuaded the 15-year-old to travel from New Jersey to an apartment in Stroudsburg, Pa., to have brokeback sex in October 2010. Prosecutors say he also admitted having sexual fantasies about basting a 2-year-old boy in barbecue sauce, roasting him and then eating him like a Thanksgiving turkey. The cannibalistic honk made a brief court appearance in Newark on Wednesday. His attorney didn’t comment after the hearing.
