More ebay fun

[Linda Z]

Someone is selling his handwritten journal on ebay for a "Buy it now" price of about $15,000. He claims Jesus appeared to him and revealed the precise location of heaven, the cure for cancer (and its cause--biting your cuticles--who knew??), and other nifty stuff. Of course it's all recorded in the journal.

Anyone bidding on this would be even loopier than the seller.

Here's the link:

[Stayed Too Long]

I just bid $15,001. I can't image anyone not wanting to know the precise loction of heaven. Now I will know exactly where I will (or maybe, won't) be spending eternity.

So what is the great significance of the Year2021 ???

Dunno - hmm there was a song in the sixties something like "In the Year 2121" though - laffs. When I was young teen I thought it was a cool song - now I'm sure the lyrics would sound cheesy.

[excathedra]

are you sure that wasn't 2525 ?

here are the lyrics - not cheesy - they're quite heavy, for a 13 year old like you - and me

In the year 2525

If man is still alive

If woman can survive they may find

In the year 3535

Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies

Everything you think do and say

Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545

You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes

You won't find a thing to chew

Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555

Your arms hangin' limp at your sides

Your legs got nothin' to do

Some machine's doing that for you

In the year 6565

You won't need no husband, won't need no wife

You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too

From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510

If God's a comin' He oughta make it by then

Maybe He'll look around Himself and say

Guess it's time for the judgement day

In the year 8510

God is gonna shake His mighty head

He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been

Or tear it down and start again woh oh

In the year 9595

I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive

He's takin everything this old earth can give

And he ain't put back nothin woh oh

Now it's been ten thousand years

Man has cried a billion tears

For what he never knew

Now man's reign is through

But through eternal night

The twinkling of starlight

So very far away

Maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525

If man is still alive

If woman can survive, they may find......

This fellow has apparently bumped up his Buy It Now price from where he once had it (when he had four copies of the "original" available):

Food for thought:

Are the fellow's claims different from the claims of TWI's founder and the claims of founders of some Pentecostal (or para-Pentecostal) ministries more in degree, details and the aesthetics of salesmanship than they are in kind?

I don't know... I thought the "when we die, we become stars" was kinda Mormonish...

[templelady]

Becoming Stars --Mormonish?!?!?!\

SHeesh!

[Ca_dreaming]

Stayed too long you must have money to burn. Could I have some to go to the Texas BBQ????

Nice 5 pointed stars on the cover.

Quoted in £ sterling? Living in Hawai'i?

2 copies of the handwritten journal for sale (used carbon paper, perhaps)

Like the cure for cancer - HEY what if VP appeared to the author and told her all about it? (tongue in cheek)
