Yeah, that's Harold Camping and Family Radio. Unfortunately there are people who listen to that crackpot including a lady I know. :(

I wonder if their advertising contracts are to be paid in full on May 22, 2011?
Anyhoo, checked their site and notice there isn't a word on how they came up with this (ridiculously) random date. I'd love to see how and why. -

Reminds me of the booklet that came out years ago, "88 Reasons Why Christ Will Return in 1988" (or something like that.)
Yawn. Don't these date-setters read their Bibles? No man knows the day or hour. -
and I was going to send a great big gift to Family radio -

Here was Camping's thoughts on why 1994:

Coincidentally, that is national "I think I know more than Jesus" day.
Guess who's the chairman?
Good ol' Harry Camp! -
Wow. that's the day after my wife and I will have celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary! Not much time to savor the joy of the day. I think our children are planning to send us on a cruise ... wonder if I can persuade them to send us before the anniversary?!
Nah ... I'll just wait and see. Anyone who thinks that "a thousand years are as a day" is to be read literally has neither scholarship nor a poetic soul to offer. -

Nothing but a bad batch of "date nuts."

I'm trying to figure out how many months ahead of time I can stop making my mortgage payment. :tongue3: -

First, find out if your lender is a Christian. If so, no worries...who will collect? :saint::tongue3: -

Of course every date setter uses the same exact method of taking biblical years and numbers, and trying to add them up to our time. Ever since William Miller, then Russell (Both of which had to change the "return of Christ" to a "cleansing of the Temple in Heaven" when the date passed), to the various dates set by various groups in the 70's and 80's. Plus Camping and that Korean group ('92) getting it wrong in the 90's.
Why should this one be right?
All this does is bring disrepute on christ and the Bible. -

Reminds me of the story I heard as a kid. Seems in the late 1800's a country church near where I grew up decided they knew the date Jesus was returning. On the morning of the big event one of the church members climbed onto his big hay stack to watch Christ's return. One of his heretic neighbors who did not believe that was the day slipped up and set fire to the hay stack. As the farmer sitting high above smelled the smoke and saw the flames he is reported to have said, "Just as I expected, in hell."
