Harold Camping, the Family Radio minister who inaccurately predicted that the world would experience Judgment Day last May 21, has suffered a stroke.
Camping, the 89-year-old head of the Oakland-based evangelical media company, suffered a stroke on Thursday night after a radio broadcast and was taken to a local hospital, according to a message posted on a Family Radio-oriented Yahoo group by Charlie Menut, station manager of Family Radio affiliate WFME.
Harold Camping doomsday prediction record: 0-2 Harold Camping "flabbergasted" by non-Rapture Apocalypse ... uhm, when?
A neighbor of Camping told the Oakland Tribune that the Alameda minister was taken by ambulance from his house Thursday night.
The unnamed neighbor said she had spoken with Camping's wife Shirley on Friday and was told the radio evangelist is doing "OK," although his speech is "a little bit slurred."
Family Radio is expected to give an update on Camping's condition on Monday.
The fundamentalist minister had led his Christian followers to believe Saturday, May 21, 2011, marked the Rapture and the countdown to Judgment Day.
I’m still waiting for 21 October 2011 to arrive!
God will not be mocked.
Looking at that photo and I can’t help thinking about a wingnut.
May 21 may have been some kind of “inflection point” in his own life, not in that of the entire world.
The man is 89 years old. I don’t wish him ill at all, but I believe he stressed himself out doing this global warning.
He should have retired 10 years ago.
Maybe it’s G-d’s way of telling him to just shut up.
Just don’t mix up you eschatology with scatology, and you’ll be okay...............
There were articles posted here since before the week-end that said he had a stroke, then the next day another article was posted, then the next day another was posted, then the next day still another article and now, after the week-end, we read he had another stroke.
A stroke a day for about 5 days will eventually take it's toll.
Or, posters could do searches before posting the same article over and over and over and over and over...
I mean, how can the world possibly exist without this guy 'splainin' everything to all us "sheep"?
Prayer bump
He was not mocking God IMHO. However, God’s word does say that man will not know the hour. We must be ready though.
“I don’t wish him ill at all, but I believe he stressed himself out doing this global WARMING.
He should have retired 10 years ago.”
Yeah, I say that about Algore all the time....
Haha!!!
:-)
This is pretty interesting. Slightly as obvious as the situations that befell various leaders of Israel who sought to divide Jerusalem.
God said, “Okay pal. You want a Rapture? How about — to paraphrase the US Army slogan — ‘A Rapture Of One’?”
Bet he didn’t see that one coming.
Maybe it was a rupture!
