3777...The End Of World Did Happen

Or did it? I am soooooooo confused. And I have barely been drinking.

Here is a cut and paste from Taylor on Radio:

A “flabbergasted” Christian station owner Harold Camping talks about October 21.

This is a real embarrassment to many in the Christian radio community, who (you’ll notice) have remained very quiet.

So the world didn’t end on May 21? On last night’s “Open Forum”, Camping reiterates that the world's really going to end on October 21, and as far as he's concerned, Judgment Day did occur on May 21.
But God decided not to make people suffer through the next five months.

As for all the donations made to Family Radio - Camping doesn't intend to give them back. To him, they were made to further the gospel, and that's what his organization has done with the money.

But for sure, they'll be more low-key about the October 21 hard date for end-of-world - the billboards are coming down.

Family Radio’s international projects manager Matt Tuter tells the Christian Post he blames the Family Radio board – “they are the ones responsible for this mess”, by listening to Camping about yet another of his apocalyptic predictions. Tuter says Camping’s actually predicted The End about ten times. He says it’s true that Family Radio and Camping spent $100 million to publicize that “the end is near.” But he says “A lot of the reporters have got it wrong…The largest portion of the money did not come from donors”, but from selling off KFTL television and an FM station.

Presumably, that’s the San Francisco 106.9 that was Camping’s KEAR, now owned by CBS as part of a major purchase and swap that gave Camping the big-signal 610 AM.


Well, as long as he made a few shekels, we good, eh?
