Pastor urges Christians to 'Occupy Closets' on November 5
Some think that Bank Transfer Day will become ugly.

"If we are still here on November 5th, Saturday, 2011," warned Pastor David A. Zacker of Trumpet of God Ministries (see video below), "I am putting out a call to each and every brother and sister in Christ — the entire body of Christ — every Christian, not only in the United States but around the world, around the nation, to come together and to join. I want each and every Christian to occupy closets, not Wall Street. While the world protests, we will be in prayer on Saturday, November 5th, 2011, if we are still here."

Like Pastor Paul Begley of Indiana, Zacker believes that "dead fish, birds and other animals, earthqakes and other natural disasters, economic crisis, wars and New World Order…and more" are signs of the end times described in the bible.

Zacker is urging Christians to get the word out about "Occupy Closets" via YouTube and otherwise. According to Zacker, on November 5 "the entire world together on that day in prayer, prayer for all humanity, prayer for peace, and a prayer to bring the lost to salvation, accepting Jesus as the King of King and the Lord of Lords."

2. the opposite of coming out of the closet? Huh?
If by "The End of Times" you mean the end of organized religions, I am all for it.

3. Well that is where praying is supposed to get done
I don't know about the rest, but at least this guy read one line of his own religious book at some point in time.

This 2012 nonsense, on top of the ever-ready for Armageddon crowd, plus the bigots out there foaming at the mouth and hoping for a race war all scare me.

But some Christians praying in their closets is the least of my worries, though. I say go for it, guys.

4. Freudian slip?
What a bizarre combination of two politically loaded concepts.

5. So what I'm hearing is that he wants everyone to hide from the end of the world?

6. tell them to occupy closets until 11/9 ...
and then, they can "come out of the closet" ...

Hey, now that's an idea ... start a "movement" ... "Come out of the closet 11/6!"

9. Sounds like the good reverend Zacker is unsuccessfully dealing with his own sexuality.
"Oh come, all ye faithful, into the closet with me."

Sounds more like he's another Harold Camping in the making.

(Either that or he didn't want to finish his comment with Insha'Allah so decided
to reword it for his "flock" ...)
