End of Days in May? Believers enter final stretch

RALEIGH, N.C. — If there had been time, Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than six months left, which she'll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here.

Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin on May 21, 2011.

To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling in countries from Latin America to Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.

"A lot of people might think, 'The end's coming, let's go party,'" said Exley, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq. "But we're commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it's so much better to know that when the end comes, you'll be safe."

In August, Exley left her home in Colorado Springs, Colo., to work with Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio Worldwide, the independent Christian ministry whose leader, Harold Camping, has calculated the May 21 date based on his reading of the Bible.

She is organizing traveling columns of RVs carrying the message from city to city, a logistics challenge that her military experience has helped solve. The vehicles are scheduled to be in five North Carolina cities between now and the second week of January, but Exley will shortly be gone: overseas, where she hopes to eventually make it back to Iraq.

"I don't really have plans to come back," she said. "Time is short."

Sister burn the temple

And stand beneath the moon

The sound of the ocean is dead

It's just the echo of the blood in your head

I don't remember if I told you about this forum I found full of end of days nutters. There was some hilarious threads in there. One of which was all about the family, friends and co-workers they had tried to warn before the date (this date it now a couple of years ago I'd imagine) arrived in order to save them. One had written this long winded email (which they posted on the forum prior to the end of the world) to a few co-workers explaining in detail why they were left alone on this earth with the other sinners and where he/she had gone. Whoever penned this particular post was later saying (after judgment day came and went) that while it was embarrassing, co-workers were cool with her about it, that obviously Gawd had chosen another date to end the world and zap all his followers up, and that day was also probably soon.
