This man lives one town over from me and ... well.. I guess we will have to wait and see...

Farragut, Knox County (WVLT) - A Farragut man says he's only the messenger, claiming his personal relationship with god has revealed to him, five cities in the United States that will face economic collapse Friday, November 11, 2005.

As WVLT Volunteer TV's Stephen McLamb learns, eleven is a well known number in history and this man feels eleven, eleven is the beginning of the end.

"But I want people to know that I'm perfectly sane, that I'm at peace with what's going to happen," John Gilmore says he's just a messenger and living by it. He says people in New York, Washington DC, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and San Francisco face some form of serious destruction on Friday.

"Something is going to happen to the effect that these cities are going to be devastated to the point that our economy is going to collapse," Gilmore says.

One local pastor says he's not buying Gilmore's claims.

"Remember the year 2000 where everything was going to be destroyed through Y2K and it never happened," says Pastor John Stuart, from Erin Presbyterian Church.

But Gilmore is and he's preparing for long term problems by storing extra food, water, and by getting his money out of the stock market.

Gilmore feels Friday is God's judgment for our desires for wealth, greed, and killing the unborn.

"Every time throughout the bible, he corrects that with judgment. And he does that to drive us away from the evil one and back to him and that's what I believe we are going to see tomorrow," Gilmore explains.

But Pastor Stuart says false claims have been made for centuries all because of anxiety.

"Probably on Saturday morning we are going to wake up and we'll wonder. What on earth were we scared about?" Pastor Stuart says.

"If it we're me, I would not be in the cities that I mentioned and I've notified everybody I know in those cities that they need to leave. They'll have to make that ultimate decision themselves, but my decision would be to leave, says Gilmore.

Gilmore was questioned about false prophets and whether he could be one of them.

He responded, "no, because I am right."

I guess we'll just have to wait and see then, it must be nearly midday across the pond, how you peeps feeling? You all ok? 13 hours till the end of America....

The only panic that might occur is the one he is creating.



So is Pastor Stuart saying he is scared, if he is he could he be attributing to John Gilmores claims, and aiding in causing some panic.

:Note the emphasis on some.

Hmmm I'll take this with a grain of salt, just like Y2K, and all the other doomsday prophecies.

I wonder what this guy will say when nothing happens?

GEEZ!!! If I woulda known that, I woulda called in sick to work!!!

I love these wackos!!! If all of them were right, none of would've ever been born! Cause it seems like since the beginning of time, people have been predicting it's demise. Figure that one out.

Hey, guys, see you here tomorrow?

Well, I'm here in NYC, and it is 11:18am.

Still here..............................................


I am really, really starting to despise these doomsayers.
I may have to armor up and personally deliver their own personal end of the world.

Just a thought though:

If 'eleven' is sooooooo special, shouldn't all this destruction take place on November 11, 2011 at 11:00am ( or pm)?

11/11/11?????

And, why only 5 cities?

hey my grandpa lives in farragut TN, i wonder how he feels about it......
(gets phone)

You have a truly odd signature pic *LOL* gave me tingles down my spine. What's it of? (I'm assuming some sort of film?)

Ha! Love that quote... Wish I had as much conviction in myself lolol

Seriously tho, Friday has sooooo many superstitions associated with it it's just not worth listing them all here. Also today (11/11) is Armistice Day (spelling? lol) so there's another co-incidence to make today "more special" in certain people's eyes.

I must admit nothing has gone right personally for me today but I'm not going to be reading anything into it Just plain simple bad luck

Yes, please tell me, too. It's really, oddly creepy. I'd want to see it.

Jenn I had another look and actually read his signature quote... Jackass maybe?

<< not 100% with it today so I apologise...

THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!! OOooh nevermind bird just pooped on my head.

I think the guy is a loony and they need to get the white jacket out.

Damn, God sure is talking with a lot of people these days. He even told Bush that he wanted him as president. Another liquid-brainer in Arizona is saying that God told him the San Andreas Fault would break completely and make California an island.

Don't know about everyone else but I feel slighted. God hasn't even whispered to me. Oh, oh, wait a minute . . . .hear that?

when is it 11:00 in New York compared with GMT?

i presume everyone made it past 11 am?

if this post doesn't make sense it's because i've got a nasty case of fridayitis.

fingers crossed for all potential victims of the apocalypse!

keep your eyes on the sky

Well I'm in New York City.. nothing so far.

that make more sense beacause its only a year before the mayan apocalispe
And isn't 13 the most evil day in the calader friday 13 13 is the most evil day because of 12 wicths and the devil that guy make not sense but u sure do

it is now 12:15pm in NYC.

still here.........................

lalalalalallaalal..Ahhh o wait a penny lalalalalalalalal

I'm predicting that nothing will happen. My special closeness to the garbage bin and the smell from it, has given me the power to prevent predictions of doom from coming true. Do you remember when the Russians and the United States had that all out nuclear war in the 1980's? I didn't think so. How about when the networks were going to make more episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard? Yeah, that was me, I made it not happen.

Of course, I'm not perfect every time, they are making a Dukes of Hazzard movie.

Shame on you - shoulda tried harder...

I read this post earlier, thought I'd pop back to make sure you were all OK, (show concern) obviously nothings happened, I'm so shocked.

How could this be?

maybe they are all dead, but the mods have logged into their accounts and posted messages so we think they are still alive, in order for the rest of us to remain calm?

Nope im AHH!! * sky falls on me * * burnside * ummm im fine



lol ( sry burnside ur the first mod to come to mind )

8 hours to go... So far so good.

3:26pm.


still here, but not for much longer.

>no fear, I'm going home<

so what time was this supposed to happen? it's 4:30 now, and as far as i know, most of the cities around the US are still intact...

you know, in ccd we just stopped talking about doomsday...

he said that Jesus makes it clear in the bible no one but Him, God, and The Virgin Mary, know the date and time of armageddon.

And false prophets are evil!




ROFL

Exactly!!!


These kooks will never learn!!

And i think he mentioned Jesus coming and everyone on the planet would instantly know it is doomsday.

So, WE will know, not this Gilmore Guy

i wonder if he took in to thought the time differences... hmmm.. hhehe

lol

so, it could be any time in the next 3-4 hour

He is from East Tennessee and I am sure he meant the time it is here.

so .. yep.. only a little more than 7 hours!

You know.... I really think this guy may be on to something.....or was that on something.

Well, it's 12:37AM(Saturday) on the east coast and I haven't heard anything.

01:48am and still nothing.


Maybe he transposed the numbers in the date?

pfft. sounds like a real nutjob.

it's 4:41pm, 12th November 2005 here in aus. and those places are still alive and well

well... Houston's still standing.

Well, 4 days til' it's supposed to be fallin'.

He needs to be locked up for this...

i'm still alive, OR AM I???? dun dun dddddduuuuuunnnnnnn




to be continued...

OH MY GAH! continue! continuueee! make a continue!

Hmm looks to be we're all safe.

THat nutjob should be locked up.

Hi Gollo:




Nelly from the Block

Hi Welsh Shaun :



Nelly from the Block

Well, the November 10 y predicted that this guy prediction was crap, based in what my cat told me....and my next prediction is what i will take a nap in about a hour in the future...my cat told me that again...

I bet he's feeling pretty foolish right about now! I think it's funny how he said he was the real thing. I think we can take a sigh or relief now. What a weirdo.

Well clearly hes just hallucinating. XD
