Not sure if this is true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was:

The Rapture

ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- 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 blow up sex 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, and 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 sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

That is really sad. It is a little funny, but someone dying for a lack of knowledge is still sad.

It's a shame she didn't know that the rapture isn't even a scripturally sound doctrine.

I didn't get it from the Darwin Awards site, but it wouldn't qualify for one, I don't think. I think there's an exception concerning faith and the consequences of believing you'll be protected by a non-existant diety.

I think deep inside everyone here hopes the story to be true.
These things keep live worth living... Not for the woman

Yeah. Everything broke right, or wrong as the case may be. A lot of coincidences at once.

Definately falls under the "so tragic it's funny" umbrella.

That's hilarious, but yes, very sad that someone died because of her stupidity.

I came to this thread expecting an anti-Christian, "All Christians are bigots!" thread, but I get this. This is WAY better than what I expected to find. Talk about stupid! Who is seriously that dumb.

I want to enlighten you. On snopes there is this thing called a bullet. A red and most of the grey are false. Green is true and yellow is undetermined. Now if you clicked the link such as what you did then you should see another thing that would confirm whether it was true or false. This is what it says

Claim: A woman dies leaping through her car's sunroof when events convince her that Jesus has returned.

Status: False.

That means it never happened. Thank you.
