          Because these people think they know better than God Himself, thinking they can infer the date of the rapture from religious texts.

            Theres been at least 5 rapture days since ive been alive. Cult members REALLY like the idea that they're super special moral beings with Gods favor. For some reason people get off on the idea everyone they don't like or isn't part of their tribe gets locked out of 'paradise' or better yet actively burns in hell forever. This vengenance fantasy extends to the idea of rapture where God personally singles them out as a favored one for heavenly ascension or whatever. I guess theres something appealing about this concept that really resonates with the kind of people who drink the coolaid, they just can't let go and take the L. So we see the same story every 10 years or so a cult leader predicts the end of the world all their followers give up life savings destroy their life then when the day passes they quietly sweep it under the rug pretend it never happened to save themselves embarrassment.

              What do your family members think of

              Matthew 24:36 ESV

              But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

                That one guy sold his car, saying he wouldn't need it in heaven.

                Like, OK, this is crazy, but they often have a certain internal logic going. I don't get this one. You don't need the car (presumably), but you don't need the money, either. Why bother?

                  Fun fact: The bible says that only God knows when the world will end, so everyone that says they know when it ends is technically comitting sacrilege.

                    Some are just giving it away. The rest... Well, they're not smart.

                    No many aren't smart. It can also be MH or the effect of cult brainwashing though

                          This is the first I've ever heard about that. Let me think where was I on that date? I was an army soldier living in South Korea and we may have had a monsoon that summer where significant mudslides came down from the ouijongbu mountains then we spent a few days shoveling mud and there were rumors of previously-buried corpses that had slid down from the mountains but I never saw any. But that may have happened in April or May or june or August, I really don't remember.

                              Stupid cultists. This exact thing has happened for thousands of years. Some years back one of these rapture cults popped up and I mentioned to my coworker that the world was ending. His response: when's it happening this time? Comedy gold.
