    Teen Killed Herself Ahead of Foretold Rapture

    A 14-year-old girl from the Republic of Mari El in Central Russia has committed suicide, allegedly because she was afraid of the upcoming doomsday, predicted by the American radio preacher Harold Camping.

    Nastya Zachinova believed the news that the world would end on May 21, her family told the tabloid LifeNews. The once lively teenager became angsty and withdrawn. On the Saturday in which the rapture had been predicted to start she committed suicide after returning home from school.

    Her personal diary shows she was terrified of the perils of the apocalypse, which she believed humanity was about to endure.

    "We are not righteous; only the righteous will go to heaven, and we'll stay on earth and face terrible suffering," one of the entries says.

    A farewell text message says she didn't want to die with everyone else and would take her life in advance.

    "She took this date too close to heart," Nastya's mother Lyudmila told the tabloid.

    Police are currently gathering reports from Nastya's friends .They believe somebody may have been behind the terror which haunted the girl in her final days.

    Harold Camping and his supporters launched a world-wide campaign to inform humanity about the upcoming rapture, the date of which he predicted based on a series of convoluted calculations taken from the bible. A few ads promoting his message were put on billboards in Russia as well.

    After the prediction proved false, Camping recanted his original claim, stating that the end of the world will now come in October.

    Scientists transfer 700 DVDs of data in 1 second

    Single laser beam can transmit up to 400 million telephone calls at a time.

    The scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) said this week they had broken the world record by sending data at a speed of 26 terabits per second.

    The data, sent over 50 kilometres (31 miles) on a single laser beam, was coded using a system known as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) in which the laser beam is divided into separate colour streams.

    "With 26 terabits per second, you can simultaneously transmit up to 400 million telephone calls per second," Prof. J

    How Much Of The Law Is A Christian Under?

    Talking to various Christian friends of mine, it seems they all have a different perspective when it comes to the Mosaic Law and how much a believer is under it.

    Some say we are to still obey the Law including all the Feast Days. Others say we are no longer under the Civil Law but still under the Moral precepts of the Law. And finally, some maintain that we are no longer under any aspects of the Law because Christ did away with it on the cross.

    What say you guys?

    There's raw video footage of a group of people going through the tornado together huddled in a store:

    You can't see much of anything because it's dark, but you can hear them comforting each other, screaming, one woman crying out to Jesus and Father God almost continuously, people asking each other if they're Ok, etc.

    Neb, that video is horrifying. It made me think that for some in Joplin, the sound of that tornado was the last sound they heard on earth.

    Really though May 21 is just as good as any other date, I hope they are right!

    Whats really scary is they are basing the validity of the bible on that date. Jesus is coming back soon yes, but when this doesn't happen it will do much damage for those truly waiting for His return.

    I did some research and Harold camp did this end of the world thing in 94 also, and also he claimed that God left the church in 1983 or 84. scary stuff.

    If he falls through though, the next runner up for end of the world is dec 21, 2012.

    That's the day after my 30th birthday. As far as I am concerned, he's right :whistling: the world ends then.
