Apparently Christ did judge us on Saturday and the rapture is still on its way...
Edited on Mon May-23-11 09:39 PM by Puregonzo1188
ould be taken to heaven Saturday before the Earth was destroyed, said he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife. His independent ministry, Family Radio International, spent millions — some of it from donations made by followers — on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judgment Day message.
But Camping said that he's now realized the apocalypse will come five months after May 21, the original date he predicted. He had earlier said Oct. 21 was when the globe would be consumed by a fireball.
Saturday was "an invisible judgment day" in which a spiritual judgment took place, he said. But the timing and the structure is the same as it has always been, he said.
"We've always said May 21 was the day, but we didn't understand altogether the spiritual meaning," he said. "May 21 is the day that Christ came and put the world under judgment."

2. The media needs to stop giving this man a soapbox to stand on.
There are a lot of potential victims out there he's not yet reached. :mad:

8. Oh, good... that's five months he can sin for free!
If the spiritual judgment has already been made and all, I guess that means he (and everyone else) gets a free ride until October 21. All that matters after that is the judgment you received this weekend.

Gentlemen, start your singines!

9. October 21st -- 10 days before Halloween
That should allow plenty of time to get their "waffling idiot" costumes together.

10. So Christ knows who's naughty and who's nice?
This is beginning to sound more like Santa Claus than Jesus.

14. You too can make a fortune like Harold Camping
Looking for a business partner to broadcast late night infomercials predating his new Oct 21st prediction with books and tapes getting people ready for the REAL RAPTURE DATE of Oct 9th. We can make a quick bundle of money off the same audience that Camping had and get a couple of Playmate props to help us sell the merchandise.

16. I would have thought that the most telling fact about this "rapture" hoopla was the fact that,
unlike the idiots who believed him, camping did NOT divest himself of his 72 million dollar fortune.

but then, that would have required two arcing brain cells to figure out, something his followers apparently do not possess between them all.
