Just over 2 and a half hours to go you cunts. I'll be saved by the rapture and the rest of you will be killed by zombies or be pissing away your time in purgatory.

 

Just some of the things you can look forward to spending your eternity with....

In New York, follower Robert Fitzpatrick, 60, spent his entire $140,000 life savings on 1,000 subway-car placards and ads at bus stops warning about May 21. The ads read: “Global Earthquake: The Greatest Ever! Judgment Day May 21, 2011.”

 

Another Camping follower, 27-year-old Adrienne Martinez, was planning to go to medical school but decided not to after listening to Family Radio. Martinez and her husband, Joel, had lived in New York City but a year ago quit their jobs and moved to Orlando. They spent their time reading the Bible and distributing tracts, according to NPR. They have a two-year-old daughter and a second child due next month.

 

“We budgeted everything so that, on May 21, we won’t have anything left,” Adrienne said to NPR

I bet they do.

i wonder if Camping will give them some of the $60-$80ml they have recieved in donations in the last few years

 

Camping is a fucking crook anyway

Since leaving the Christian Reformed Church in 1988, Camping has taught doctrines that explicitly conflict with the doctrines and confessions of the Christian Reformed Church and churches of the Reformed and Presbyterian traditions. Examples of how Camping's teachings vary from conventional Reformed doctrines include:

 

Departing from Calvinist doctrine, Camping teaches a relative free will for humanity and that humans are not totally depraved.[19] However, he subscribes to the idea that salvation is unmerited, cannot be achieved by good works or prayer, and is a pure act of God's grace.

Departing from the doctrine of eternal torment for the unsaved in a place called Hell, Camping teaches annihilationism; that life will end and existence will cease for the unsaved soul.[20]

Departing from doctrines stating no one can know the time of Christ's second coming, he teaches that the exact time of the Rapture and the end of the world are to be revealed sometime towards the end of time (Daniel 12:9–13 prophecy).

Camping teaches that all churches have become apostate and thus must be abandoned. He encourages personal Bible study and listening to his Family Radio broadcasts

 

He also said the world would end in 1994

Currently, the Family Radio website is down.

 

According to MinistryWatch.com, which grades Christians organizations on financial transparency, Family Stations, Inc. (dba Family Radio), which Camping founded, has a transparency grade of "C."

 

The organization relies mainly on contributions, MinistryWatch.com reports.

 

Its total assets as of 2007 – which was the most recent year MinistryWatch.com had financial statements for – was $152 million. Contributions in 2007 totaled nearly $16 million. In the period between 2003 and 2006, the organization received around $13 million to $15 million in contributions each of those years.

 

IRS filings indicate that in 2009, contributions totaled around $18 million. Total assets were also recorded for that year as $72 million.

 

Though Camping does not receive a salary or other financial compensation, according to Family Radio, he and his ministry have been accused of running a scam.

If they really thought the world was ending on the 21st May, why did they conceive another child that wouldn't even be born??

 

All joking aside, it's not on really. Whatever the stupidity of his beliefs, it's awful to see someone conned into wasting their life savings in this way, and something should be done about Camping.
