Harold Camping, the Family Radio minister who inaccurately predicted that the world would experience Judgment Day last May 21, has suffered a stroke.

Camping, the 89-year-old head of the Oakland-based evangelical media company, suffered a stroke on Thursday night after a radio broadcast and was taken to a local hospital, according to a message posted on a Family Radio-oriented Yahoo group by Charlie Menut, station manager of Family Radio affiliate WFME.

Harold Camping doomsday prediction record: 0-2 Harold Camping "flabbergasted" by non-Rapture Apocalypse ... uhm, when?

A neighbor of Camping told the Oakland Tribune that the Alameda minister was taken by ambulance from his house Thursday night.

The unnamed neighbor said she had spoken with Camping's wife Shirley on Friday and was told the radio evangelist is doing "OK," although his speech is "a little bit slurred."

Family Radio is expected to give an update on Camping's condition on Monday.

The fundamentalist minister had led his Christian followers to believe Saturday, May 21, 2011, marked the Rapture and the countdown to Judgment Day.

Camping is into MACRO predictions, not MICRO ones.

This turn of events should really force him to step down the helm of Family Radio once and for all.

Hopefully, someone more reasonable can take over.

It used to be such a great ministry (one of the few, and perhaps the only radio station in the country that still plays the old hymns of faith ).

I still listen to their music but quickly change the station when Camping comes on.

Misguided though he is, prayers for his recovery and return to God’s true way, and that he witness accordingly.

Amen. I hope Family Radio survives. They have the best Christian music on the airwaves.

I used to listen to him on the radio, he does have an amazing grasp of Gods word. Now we all know one shouldn’t go around picking dates. But his recollection and understanding of the bible was quite astounding as I remember it. I was brought to the true saving faith in Christ because of him (after hearing him on the radio preach that Salvation wasn’t works based but rather an act of Grace). So, I am grateful he was there and wish him healing.
