It must be a prerequisite to be a follower of some of these people to:

Have all memory cells removed
Never read any history
Be highly emotional
Love living in a permanent state of hypertension

For God's sake! People have been predicting the 2nd Coming since Paul's time, and the Laaaard just keeps taking rainchecks.

Does that never worry these people? With what logic do they conclude that this time there really is a wolf amongst the sheep? That this is the first time in thousands of attempts to predict the Big Fella's return, that we should take it seriously because some heavy duty $hit is really goin' down.

Why? Maybe someone should take these guys to consumer affairs for false and misleading advertising!

If a guy had this many false starts about his 'coming', he'd been sent off for sexual therapy. Boy, does this take the opposite of premature ejaculation to the extreme!

According to the Mayans the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012.

The page contains some interesting information about the Mayan Tree of Life. It is a bit different than Nephi's vision.
Drawing from an impressive amount of iconographic evidence, and generously sharing the process by which she arrived at her discovery, the Sacred Tree is found to be none other than the crossing point of the ecliptic with the band of the Milky Way. Indeed, the Milky Way seems to have played an important role in Mayan imagery. For example, an incised bone from 8th century Tikal depicts a long sinking canoe containing various deities. This is a picture of the night sky and the canoe is the Milky Way, sinking below the horizon as the night progresses, and carrying with it deities representing the nearby constellations. The incredible Mayan site of Palenque is filled with Sacred Tree motifs and references to astronomical events. In their book Forest of Kings, Schele and Freidel suggested that the Sacred Tree referred to the ecliptic. Apparently that was only part of the picture, for the Sacred Tree that Pacal ascends in death is more than just the ecliptic, it is the sacred doorway to the underworld. The crossing point of Milky Way and ecliptic is this doorway and represents the sacred source and origin. In the following diagram of the well known sarcophagus carving, notice that the Milky Way tree serves as an extension of Pacal's umbilicus. The umbilicus is a human being's entrance into life, and entrance into death as well:
