AFTER MAY 21
After what transpired last weekend, it's really hard to feel bad for someone whose doomsday predictions, like what happened in 1994, have caused so much anxiety, but for Camping's recent admission, this sounds somewhat pitiful.
GONE HOME
Emerging from his Alameda, California home for the first time to talk to a reporter, he said "It has been a really tough weekend," it's really tough though that he still emerged after this second failed prediction.
The group is "disappointed" that 200 million true believers weren't lifted up to heaven on Saturday while everyone else suffered and eventually died as a series of earthquakes and famine destroyed the Earth. Many were truly dissapointed thinking that the group even posted 2,000 billboards around the country warning of the rapture, while Camping--an uncertified fundamentalist minister, still - spread the word on his radio show.
FAMILY RADIO TODAY
Camping's Family Radio, which airs on 66 U.S. stations, has apparently rebranded itself quickly.
Some of his followers say, he was still holding out hope that they were one day off. Another believer asserted that their prayers worked: God delayed judgment so that more people could be saved, but the end is 'imminent,'"
Now, withstanding all that happened, would Family Radio reimburse their followers who spent their savings in anticipation of the rapture, but that's a big question, and they can't guarantee it.
PROTESTERS AGAINST CAMPING
Protesters gathered outside Camping's radio headquarters to mock the false prophecy over the weekend. Some of them set aloft a toy cow with balloons to lampoon the idea that a select elite would ascend to heaven. Meanwhile, other religious groups tried to recruit disappointed Camping followers.
