Camping: Oh, Did I Say May 21? I meant....

Actually, what he said was (from your link):

"Through chatting with a friend over what he acknowledged was a very difficult weekend, it dawned on him that instead of the biblical Rapture in which the faithful would be swept up to the heavens, May 21 had instead been a "spiritual" Judgment Day, which places the entire world under Christ's judgment, he said.
The globe will be completely destroyed in five months, he said, when the apocalypse comes. But because God's judgment and salvation were completed on Saturday, there's no point in continuing to warn people about it, so his network will now just play Christian music and programs until the final end on Oct. 21.
"We've always said May 21 was the day, but we didn't understand altogether the spiritual meaning," he said. "The fact is there is only one kind of people who will ascend into heaven ... if God has saved them they're going to be caught up.""

 

Sounds like every cult.

Baptist preacher Wm Miller's advent in 1844 didn't occur. But he ended up with tons of $$ and followers and voila the Adventist Cult begins.

Russel liked the Adventist teaching of Christ's return, but said it was NOT to judge, but an invisible return in 1877 was his forte and Armageddon in 1914 (start of WWI) and thus the foundation of Jehovah's Witness Cult
