That is where I disagree.
I do not think you should leave AF when your predictions do not come true.
I want as many people with delusional faith based beliefs posting here as possible.
The more your flawed beliefs and ideas are criticized in the public sphere, the better.
I think when your predictions do not come true, you should have to give a small donation (even as low as $10) to a secular charity.
Something like 'Americans United for Separation of Church and State'.
https://www.au.org/
They have plenty of Christian contributors also, so it won't even be that painful.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Simon, thank you for your kind suggestion.
Right or wrong about the 25th, we are in the largest end zone in game history and we really shall see exactly who the deluded ones are.

@ professor. How does it feel knowing that your generation of christians will go down in history as not only the wackiest bunch in its existence, but also as the last group before the religion dies altogether?

So you are saying whether you have ever been right or not, you are always right, that your rightness is not to be cast into doubt by any evident wrongness on your part.
Right, who exactly is the deluded one?

What I am saying is my understanding, knowledge and confidence on who God is, and His whole plan is not contingent on my being right on that date.
I did not get a vision, audible word from God or some supernatural heavy duty sign about Rosh Hashana.
I stepped out on a series of converging indicators for that day.
Picking a date is a big no- no in my group.
I am far-out for 99% of them.
It's OK with me.

Yet you seemed so certain in your OP. Didn't you have "enough info to step out and declare" a "prophecy date"? Why the volte-face?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Just try to remember that your whole understanding, knowledge and confidence are just that .. yours. Before you come back here preaching, warning or extolling why not just take a step back and think about how antisocial that would be. Do we all tell you what you need to do or why you need to believe as we do? Of course not. It would be presumptuous.
The lesson for you in all this is humility. (Take plenty.)

You wouldn't fight tooth and nail to prevent someone from installing such a system (ala "as it is in heaven") on earth? You're from "Murica!", right?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't know what Murical is.
Besides, there won't be anyone capable of resisting earth's destiny.
I am not telling that you have to do anything.
You can be a spectator or a player.
As always - your choice.
