Is it only a matter of time before they start putting portraits of the nutjobs on the walls of the West Wing? An end-timer who morted himself and seven followers has got to be a nominee in good standing.
Terry Ratzmann, the man who police say killed seven people and then himself during a church service, was a member of the Living Church of God, a denomination that focuses on "end-time" prophecies.

He advised members to gather emergency food supplies and follow government instructions on how to prepare for an emergency. He also warned about a coming "financial emergency" and cited an article from the San Francisco Chronicle about the financial fallout as baby boomers retire.
With thinking like that, he'd have been a shoe-in for a guest spot speaking on "BamboozaPalooza-The Social Security Lying Tour '05". All he'd have had to do was sign the loyalty oath and drink the Kool Aid...wait ixnay on the ool-aid Kay, I think he already did.
