Do people seriously trust the Chinese governments descriptions of dissidents in their country?

Why don't these people realise that if they are supposed Christians,even in China's underground,that,if they were true Christians,they should know better & know that,"No-one knows the day or hour,not even the Son.Only the Father knows". Meaning that none of us is to know!Only God the Father!Which also means that if anyone follows the Mayan calendar's end & reads it as the true end of the world,then they are truly deceived & as I would put it,insane. I also hope to God that no-one mistakenly places the TRUE Christians under the same category of the deceived & the insane. Of course we will all wake up on the 22nd without a hitch.Anyone that has heard that
the end of the world is coming on the 21st should know better.Treat it as another of the many doomsday prophesies that have repeated themselves throughout history!Many of the so-called prophets have had egg on their faces! Also,if they were to have had the misfortune of being in the time of ancient Israel & had stated that they were a prophet & the end was coming,their life would have been snuffed out by being stoned to death after their prophecy had not been fulfilled because of the fact that they were not a true prophet of God & their source was compromised by the evil one!

People shouldn't be arrested for for speaking their opinions no matter how crazy those opinions are, but I don't think they should go around scaring people either, the Chinese Government are crazy though so no story which comes out of that country surprises me

Omg...thanks for the update.

Although, I honestly I probably shouldn't read any more about children being murdered... I'm just depressed fromthe helplessness I feel ... :(  want to do something to help the families but what?  Aside from sending them positive energy.

Thankfully none of the children in this incident died, they would be traumatised at being attacked by a man with a knife though and that is awful.

Christians have been looking for this stupid doomsday to happen just to prove their religion. How petty to get it wrong so many thousands of years so by chance when a calamity does happen, they can feel justified in their beliefs. Unbelievable...

Shows how much the World has changed, you would never had heard about this a few years back.
In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

geez. Weirdos are all over the place even in China. If doomsday does not happen we should all sue the fear mongers for false advertising. I wish it was Friday already as I am sick of all this doom and gloom everywhere scaring the masses with stupid shows about the end of the world and all the propaganda about it. It is everywhere.

Sue them? not sure they will hang about to get caught once they have gathered up their "buy your doomsday safety helmet here" monies.

Do you mean we wouldn't have heard about the Doomsday Cults or the government round-ups of dissidents?

Depending on how far back you mean, I know for sure that the cults have made headlines as far back as religion started.  Seems like one cult or another has been in the news every year talking about "the end is nigh".  Thankfully most have been harmless for the most part but not the likes of Jim Jones, that tennis shoes guy, and David Koresh just to name a few.

Governments around the world, throughout history have done round-ups of peoples they deemed "dissidents" WWI, Japanese Americans were rounded up and put in camps.  Although that wasn't a religion example and the latter does not happen, to my knowledge, in free countries.
