Preacher Who Got Date of Apocalypse Wrong Tries Again, Says He Was Off by Five Months

OAKLAND, Calif. -- As crestfallen followers of a California preacher who foresaw the world's end strained to find meaning in their lives, Harold Camping revised his apocalyptic prophecy Monday, saying he was off by five months because the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.

----------------------------

Follower Jeff Hopkins also spent a good deal of his own retirement savings on gas money to power his car so people would see its ominous lighted sign showcasing Camping's May 21 warning. As the appointed day drew nearer, Hopkins started making the 100-mile round trip from Long Island to New York City twice a day, spending at least $15 on gas each trip.

"I've been mocked and scoffed and cursed at and I've been through a lot with this lighted sign on top of my car," said Hopkins, 52, a former television producer who lives in Great River, NY. "I was doing what I've been instructed to do through the Bible, but now I've been stymied. It's like getting slapped in the face." :cry:

Bummer....

that rat isn't going to give any of it back no matter what you foolish people.

in his eschatology, the world was always slated to end on October 21. May 21 was supposed to be the date of Christ's second coming. He has simply declared that Christ returned "spiritually" on May 21st. So world is still on schedule to be destroyed in October.

and the rapture.

"Guaranteed", all that was. :eyes:

there was a spiritual rapture and a spiritual earthquake...

it's the textbook case of what true believers do when their predictions fail.

Or, in layman's terms, fucked in the head?

He just gave us five more months of rapture jokes!

And another....
And another....

The worst is not that he got the end of the world wrong - the most tragical thing is that many would buy into the lie again... Ten of thousands of good, honest peopole wil be screwed again, becouse they really belive in this.. And they belive in this, becouse "the authorties" have told them to belive the fellow..
