Hi everyone, this may be a very speculative issue and I have no way to prove you what I`m posting but, with all the discussion on what might happen on 21/12/ 2012 and/or 28 Oct. 2011 I felt I should post a conversation I had (and never forgot) some years ago with someone that knew a priest from a small village in Portugal who had gone to the vatican with a group of his church at the time.
It happens this was a village not far from a place the Pope had been when he 1st visited Portugal and this priest managed to actually be in person and talk with J. Paul II for a few minuts.
So it looks like J.P. II asked this priest on how was the faith issue going among young people in Portugal and he replied that he was a bit worried with the increasing lack of faith.
It seems the Pope`s reply was something like this: "Don`t worry, not much time left for the truth to be known"

What the hell ? Maybe he did know something or he was just a paranoid nut like the rest of us. Hell the priest that lives down the street from us is at the bar every night.

What is good for religions?

Fear and being poor.

People have a tendency to turn to religion if everything else fails...

All preachers/priests are convinced they are in the end times.

Christians welcome the end times (as I do to), but that doesn't mean they are right.

I am starting to believe that something really Earth shattering is going to take place on October 28th. It seems that with NASA stating that ETs would attack due to high levels of carbon in our atmosphere and CNN saying an alien attack would fix the economy, that we are being conditioned for just such an event.

I knew a couple really nice people that had told me years ago that
while watching some kind of Pope Ceremonial thing, i dont remember
anymore what the event was, anyways, that Pope john paul had tripped
and faultered, his tall white hat fell off his head and the cameras being
nearby captured some numbers inside it which were 666. Now i can't
verify this as i've never seen it nor looked for a video however i trust the
people that mentioned this and their judgement. Anyways, it was an
interesting moment for them both.
