This is sad. Hopefully Camping will realize it's time to retire after May 21. The programming on his network of radio stations is actually pretty good other than the part that's from his unique theology.

Note that May 21 is not supposed to be the end of the world as many keep saying, but Oct. 21. May 21 is when the believers are raptured.

Camping will have a lotta ‘splainin’ to do if 22 arrives and there has been no Rapture. On the other hand....

I'm guessing Camping will be nowhere to be found come 5/22. Raptured, don't ya' know....

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this May 21, date was inspired by Satan. Yep, and Camping is his tool. It makes a laughing stock out of Christians. Remember Y2K and how many people felt stupid the day after? To this day, a lot of them feel burned and won’t consider ever preparing like that again. The same will hold true of this Judgement Day fiasco. People will feel burned and turn against God and the teachings of the Bible, only this time there really WILL be a Judgement Day, in God’s timing, and they won’t be ready.

There’s a billboard here in rural Maryland from the Camping organization espousing that date. Interestingly enough, they left off the year 2011. It only says May 21st. On May 22nd Harold will go missing—gone camping. :)

He will just change the date- just like many
false ministers before him.

BTW- Christ specifically says “No one knows the day or hour”

So it would be interesting to hear what camping has to say about that.

Foolish silly man.

“Camping will have a lotta ‘splainin’ to do if 22 arrives and there has been no Rapture. “

If?

I’m still unclear on how a person who believes in Jesus Christ is supposed to “prepare” for Rapture and/or Judgment Day. If you have faith in Christ, aren’t you pretty much prepared, either for “End Times” activity or your own death?

I wonder how many Christians get their faith destroyed by folks like this and Paula White and Benny Hinn

[Lazamataz]

This date is on a billboard on Buford Hwy in Atlanta. Presumably Camping financed it.

[Tax-chick]

Sorry about that, everyone.

[Berlin_Freeper]

If May 21 is the end I would expect God's head to emerge from the clouds and say something about it.

[Lazamataz]

Creflo Dollar turned me over to Jesus.

Jesus turned me over to the Sheriff.

[goat granny]

Thats the way I read it also....If your not prepared, a few days notice ain’t going to do the job....

If people turn their backs on God and salvation through Jesus Christ because of this Judgement Day circus, it plays directly into Satan’s hands. It’s the old, “Fool me once...” mindset. No one likes feeling duped. Unfortunately, in this case it could result in lost souls. So yeah, I do think this May 21 “Judgement Day” may very well be what turns more hearts away from God than toward Him.
