Well if you stand outside you will be able to watch them float on up... Mabye they will do some paperwork on the way...
Wait...do those who "Rapture" actually float away?...or do the just sort of "piff" vanish?...what exactly is the means of transport?
Apparently they ascend upwards towards the heavens.
I told them they'd always have their heads in the clouds...

the band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light,and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout but there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has struck out.

If I actually see this on Saturday I'm going to drop dead laughing.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
The 'people floating away' thing always bugged me because that's not really the way that God works. God works in floods, plagues, swarms, and pillars of salt. Likewise, from what I can tell, the body doesn't go to heaven. It rots in the ground when you die. The 'soul' is the portion that's debatable though. The question is how to you remove the soul from the body, and from a large percentage of the populous, especially when you historically work in terms of floods, plagues, swarms and pillars of salt to get your point across to lots of people at once?
I expect to see thousands of people dropping dead in the next 24 hours. But then again, I expect even moreso to see absolutely nothing happening in the next 24 hours save for a bunch of people feeling let down, and one old guy quickly backpedaling on his wild numerology (again).
But I always love being wrong. It's one of the things that keeps life interesting.

What's the point in that?
Whereas come Sunday...

since I have no clue what this tosh is all about have just googled Apparently it is happening tonight. Though that still is tomorrow for us
Yeah that sucks Purplefood!. All the dossers that were out partying instead of revising did right! Never mind The Good Lord might smile kindly upon the for being conscientious!
Camping, interviewed on a radio station recently, said the rapture will happen at exactly 6 p.m. Saturday. But it will happen timezone by timezone, meaning the first round of rapturing will happen at 6 p.m. in the International Dateline at 180 longitude. (That’s between Pago Pago, American Samoa and Nuku’alofa, Tonga.)
And that means 11 p.m. Friday for those of us on Pacific Standard Time, according to a doomsday author writing for The Atlantic. That’s when devastating earthquakes will also start, Camping said.
“Everyone will be weeping and wailing because they’ll know in a few hours it’ll come to their city,” Camping said during an interview with Tina Dupuy.

Ok...so if there's no earthquakes and folks tethered to bunches of balloons floating overhead in the UK tonight,then we in the U.S. can breathe a bit easier...right?

If I was God and wanted to make an Apocolyptic statement would I start in the middle of the Pacific and pick on a few small islands to get things going and slowly roll it around the world timezone by timezone?
nah
After this week I would start in Nottingham...
