Doug near DC Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) - A Little Rock woman was injured after leaping through her moving car’s sunroof during an incident best described as “a mistaken rapture” by dozens of eye witnesses. Thirteen other people were also 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 card,” said Everett Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams. “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 blow up dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air. Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who’s been told by several friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration and shouted, “Come back here,” just as the Williams’ car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed him by, according to her husband.

redman Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 I call BS on this one. It's clearly the stuff of urban myth, Bible Belt style. All that's was missing was that this occurred near the Gethsemene exit on the highway. But kudos to whoever came up with it. ------------------ "Loosen up, Sandy baby.
