Who bumped this thread? Has Harold gone out camping again?

I did. When the rapture didn't happen in May, he said he made a minor miscalculation, and moved the date to October. (Which just passed, so I bumped this thread.)

Harold had a stroke just after May 21st. But I think part of this is that he is also hiding.
Also, the people from his radio station and ministry are not allowed to talk to the press anymore. (Quite a change from putting up a zillion billboards!)

excerpt:
“The world has been warned,” said Mr. Camping, who said this would be his last interview. He added that his company — which had bought billboard space nationwide to promote the May 21 date — would not promote his new prediction, Oct. 21.
“We don’t have to talk about this anymore,” he said.
Mr. Camping’s campaign — his second prophetic failure, coming on the heels of another doomsday prediction in 1994 — had been widely derided by the mainstream Christian groups and openly mocked in the other quarters.
At the same time, it raised concerns that some believers might do themselves harm rather than face Mr. Camping’s promised apocalypse, something he refused to take responsibility for on Monday. “I am not the authority,” he said.
But Mr. Camping said his company — which is a nonprofit — would also not return donations given by his followers in advance of the May 21 prediction. “We’re not at the end,” he said, “Why would we return it?”
Mr. Camping also said he had no plans to fold his company in advance his new doomsday date. “If it’s the end of the world, God will dissolve it,” he said.

I thought May 21 was his judgement Day and Oct 21 was the next step....
but my fave is...“We don’t have to talk about this anymore,” he said.
No? We weren't interested in you before buddy....
But after reading all your billboards everywhere....we want to talk about it now....and I am sure you don't!
That was bad, I'm not deleting it though because I thought it and I wrote it. The man obviously needs our love, and he has needed it for decades to go to the extent he has.

"I thought May 21 was his judgement Day"
--> If you think about it, it was his judgement day. We can now see him for what he is.
