OAKLAND, Calif. – A California preacher who foretold of the world's end only to see the appointed day pass with no extraordinarily cataclysmic event has revised his apocalyptic prophecy, saying he was off by five months and the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.

Harold Camping, who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven Saturday before catastrophe struck the planet, apologized Monday evening for not having the dates "worked out as accurately as I could have."

He spoke to the media at the Oakland headquarters of his Family Radio International, which spent millions of dollars_ some of it from donations made by followers — on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judgment Day message.

1. I am so looking forward to the gazillion Harold Camping threads

from here to October. Not.

4. He really should apologize for ...

... being full of shit.

5. Then he'll have no problem giving his $72M to charity.......

...will he? No, the greedy, fundamental piece of shit will probably try to make more money off of his bogus predictions. I hope he fries in hell! He'll be among friends there.

9. Actually he specifically answered a question on that and the answer is "no."

He needs it for himself. See my post below.

10. Forget where I saw it, but...

he said, in response to some questions the other day, that he still had to pay his bills, etc., etc. until the Big Day comes.

My question is...if he really believes his own prediction...

Why bother?


It would be nice if the people who are still believing his bullshit would ask that question too before they give up their own families, jobs, and possessions.

The very first words out of their mouths should be, "You first, Harold".

sadly enough, many people just won't get it.


sigh...

6. oh, puh-leeze!

Give it a rest, why doncha?

7. Oh a "spiritual" Judgment Day! Alrighty then! No harm, no foul.

But alas, the worker bees are getting a little restless.

"I (Josh Ocasion) thought he would show some more human decency in admitting he made a mistake," he said Monday. "We didn't really see that."

Follower Jeff Hopkins said he 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."

Those who lost money are not getting any help from Camping......

Family Radio would never tell anyone what they should do with their belongings, and those who had fewer would cope, Camping said.

"We're not in the business of financial advice," he said. "We're in the business of telling people there's someone who you can maybe talk to, maybe pray to, and that's God."

Let them ask God for help! Easy for him to say. He is taking care of Numero Uno!

But he also said that he wouldn't give away all his possessions ahead of Oct 21.

"I still have to live in a house, I still have to drive a car," he said. "What would be the value of that? If it is Judgment Day why would I give it away?"

Not to mention all of that dough I collected from the sheep! I got mine!

8. Bring on Jon Lovitz voice

October, yeah that's the ticket, that's what I said. Who said May, I say October, yeah that's the ticket, that's the way it is, October...

11. I thought the lifting up part

was set for May 21 but that the world wouldn't blow up till October 21.

So now, the whole shebang is supposed to happen on October 21. It's good to know there's still hope. :sarcasm:

12. ... and the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to be in the World Series this year.
