Oakland-based Family Radio sees donations soar as 'Judgment Day' approaches
http://www.insidebayarea.com/top-stories/ci_18089432

Judgment Day is fabulous for business.

Just ask Family Radio, the evangelical nonprofit that has plastered billboards and driven vans across the Bay Area and the world proclaiming the end of the world will be Saturday. The Oakland-based nonprofit has raised more than $100 million over the past seven years, according to tax returns. It owns 66 radio stations across the globe and was worth more than $72 million in 2009....

What will the nonprofit do with the millions of dollars left in the bank Saturday?

"When Judgment Day comes, if someone is a billionaire, how will they take their money with them?" said Camping, 89, during a phone interview Tuesday. "If we have any money left, and we will because we have to pay bills up to the very end "... it will all be destroyed because the world will be in a day of judgment.

Party at Harold's house! :party:

6. Me too... false advertising... cruelty to dumb animals...
All sorts of reasons to sue these smarmy opportunists.

Still, I can't wait to hear their story come May 22! I'm sure it will be all about how prayer saved the world, or Jesus was so pissed he took one look and said fuggetaboutit! Now we'll have to send them a lot more money to be sure Jesus changes his mind again!

16. Maybe they will sign over the deeds to their homes, not have a residence & be prevented from voting
by suppressive GOP legislation. Wouldn't that be ironic?
