kev64 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 ARKANSAS CITY (AP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus. "She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say. "This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force,"said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene. Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blowup dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air. Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him. Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else. When asked for comments about the twelve dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen." :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shied Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Taken from one of the links: "Rapture" refers to a future event when Lord Jesus will return to earth in the clouds. At that time Lord Jesus will... Resurrect deceased Christians, glorify their bodies, and catch them up into the clouds to be with Him. Glorify the bodies of living Christians, and catch them up into the clouds to be with Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone somewhere believes this story is true.... And they'll probably still beLIEve the story after someone else tells them it was made up.
