Ex-Followers of Harold Camping Vent Anger on Family Radio
Open Forum: Camping took calls from his followers, and some are mighty disillusioned:


One ex-follower was so upset over Camping's failed prediction that he threatened the doomsday speaker with violence and used profanity to address him.

"You're really pathetic, you know? I wasted all my money because of you. I was putting all my money and my hopes on you," an angry caller told Camping.

"Do you understand? I wish I could see you face to face, I would smack you."

Camping attempted to explain himself but the caller sounded like he had enough.

"Mr. Camping, you always say a lot of (expletive). I lost all my money because of you, you (expletive)," said the caller.

Despite the verbal attack against him, Camping proceeded on with his broadcast, the sound of his voice unaffected.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear your question. We've lost the caller. Shall we take our next call?"

1. Stupidity is very expensive.
I hope they save a bit of scorn for their own idiot gullibility.Perhaps a few will rethink the whole idea of turning off their critical thinking and blindly following con-men who tell happy fairy tales. I doubt they will, however. They're probably all looking for a new "leader".

2. Yeah, but the ones who were raptured aren't complaining!
So suck it up if you missed the rapture.

The rest of us are partying....
