No, that’s not from the Department of Homeland Security, but from the marginally more reliable True Bible Code site.
Firstly we strongly advise anyone in New York City with any faith in God, whatever his religion or whatever his distrust of organised religion, to take the second weekend in June off, and leave NYC for that weekend.
You can then study this fascinating article outside NYC at your leisure, during that weekend or more to the point, after that weekend! It is going to be hard to find the necessary time during the next few days, given the busy schedule of every New Yorker, to sit down and fully analyze the fruits of 14 years of bible decoding and reach a rational decision about such a momentous prediction. So the sensible course of action might be to judge for yourself whether we are sincere in our efforts to decode the bible. And if you see that we are sincere, then rather than taking an intellectual walk from basic faith to accurate bible prophecy, just rely on all of the work that we have so far done and on the basis of your faith and our sincerity, take the weekend out of the city.
We have everything to lose and nothing to gain if we are not sincere. We also have a lot to lose if we are wrong. We have done this work in order to save lives. We risk looking like complete turkeys on June 11th if nothing has happened by then, rather than looking like the wackos that we presently look like to most people. But it does not really matter what we look like, what matters is that people start taking the bible seriously at this late stage in the divine plan.
Don’t say you weren’t warned!

So, wait, I don’t get it. Which is worse: wackos or turkeys?

Well, at least the whackos are giving you a real threat and date you can act on, rather than simply saying, “Hey, there might be more danger, but don’t overreact, but do let us know if you see anything strange, but we can’t ell you any more than that.”
Not that I expect you to lose any sleep over this. 🙂

Well, at least they’re updating the site:
Stay tuned!

Not only will I not be leaving the city that weekend (though thousands of others will, since it’s a holiday), I’ll be dragging other innocent bystanders into the path of danger. Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!!

You evil, evil woman! Just for that, I hope NYC *doesn’t* get nuked! So there!

The percent chance is up to [4]! Yikes!

And the window has been widened until July 4! Get out while you can, Kate!

Will the suspense never end? Now it’s “Sundown Tuesday July 25th and Sundown Thursday July 27th, 2006”!
At least they’re honest in admitting their errors thus far.

And since NYC is still there, they’ve gone back, checked their numbers, and determined that the new date is “between Sundown Sunday July 30th and Sundown Tuesday August 1st, 2006.”
I continue to give them some credit for admitting their errors to date and taking action to update their web pages immediately (and not taking the “easy” course of pushing the date out a year or two). I still think they’re goofballs, but at least they’re goofballs with some integrity.

Ah yes. Bless their sweet little goofball hearts.

I’m waiting for them to claim that NYC really has been nuked, and the Forces of Evil which own the media are just keeping it secret. [1].
#13 Comment By ***Dave On Tue 8-Aug-06 6:06am @ 6:06am
Ho-hum. Now it’s August 11-12th.
Wake me up when it’s over, guys.
#14 Comment By ***Dave On Mon 14-Aug-06 7:03am @ 7:03am
And now it’s 8/18-19.
Hardly worth checking any more.
Or, put another way, if stuff like this were predictable from Scripture (a huge if, IMO — even if one takes Scripture as, ah, Gospel, the question of why God would embed stuff like this as a secret code remains unanswered), one would expect it to be, well predictable. A variance of over two months (so far) seems a bit dodgy.

And now it’s “between Sundown Friday August 25th and Sundown Saturday August 26th.”

Well, on the one hand, it looks like you’re safe from nukes, Kate. I mean, yeah, the prediction is [1], but so far the odds are looking good that the prediction will fail.
But, on the other hand, be careful on your Prague trip — I hear they have a real [5].

Heads up, Kate (still, again, some more)!
Those prophets who’ve been predicting that New York will be nuked on date X, where X seems to be an endless series? Well, they’re still at it, and the current…

Get your New York-based Christmas Shopping done early!
The “New York is going to be nuked” folks have rolled their prediction back yet again to it happening by sundown, 15 December. That will be a bit over six…
