I usually laugh at these type of things... but something seems strange about these predictions...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29593714/

Doomsday is coming and it’s going to destroy parts of Connecticut, David Wilkerson, the founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City, is predicting.

David Wilkerson, author of "The Cross and the Switchblade," a book about his ministry to troubled New York street kids that was later made into a movie starring Pat Boone, ruined the weekend for people who follow his blog.

Saturday, he wrote an “urgent message” predicting an "earth-shattering calamity" is about to happen.

“For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago,” he wrote.

He can be dismissed as a religious kook or ?   And i wonder why he would say these things... He is pretty well respected...not someone who predicts bizarre shit?   What if he means...  a complete collapse of the economy and people start rioting and looting etc?  Or worse...?

The awesome thing about predictions like that is that they're just wild enough to draw attention, but not unrealistic enough to be scoffed at. If they fail, they'll just be forgotten about, and if they come true he'll be marked as a genius.

So basically he's predicting a nuke. Should've just said it outright.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

Not going to stop me from going to NYC often as I do, though. I don't prefer to live my life in fear.

I don't live in fear either... just thought it was weird that he came out with this statement on his blog...

Well, the concept of religion itself is pretty bizarre, so it shouldn't be surprising that this guy would believe in other kooky shit.

+1 for the author of the article. That's gold.

No, he couldn't say it outright.  Because they don't know squat about what is going to happen, these predictions must be vague enough to allow for multiple interpretations.

Meh, seems more likely than a guy ressurecting from the dead or walking on water.

Check out his wiki page. He was spouting the same rubish in 1973 and caught hell because most of it never happened.

He must have been an end of the worlder, fire and brimstone preacher. Obey the commandments for fear of a wrathful God.

Watts fires would indicate race riots.

I can only think of two things that would cause nationwide race riots
1. A coup against Obama
2. Obama gets assainated

God forbid either should happen.
I better get an Obama '08 sign to up on my front lawn so the rioters will know to pass by my house. I think it would be cheap insurance.

Where was all your rebelliousness when Bush passed the Patriot Act?
