Harold Camping was dead wrong, and finally admitted it.
Then he died.
His followers still are predicting the End Of The World.
Five Years Later, Harold Campings Followers Are Still Predicting the End of the World

Congratulations on still being alive! May 21 marked the 5th anniversary of when everyone but the True Believers was supposed to have died in a fiery rolling earthquake that marked the rapture and end of the world.
That didnt happen, as we all know, so Family Radio host and Bible teacher Harold Camping put on his best face and told the world that May 21 had, in fact, been Judgment Day
but, well, turned out it was just a spiritual judgment. (Nice save!) Camping had already predicted that, following the rapture and the earthquakes (which were necessary to pop the dead believers out of their graves, of course), the Earth and its few survivors would suffer five months of destruction, culminating on October 21, 2011. That day would now be the all-in-one for rapture and final destruction. Somehow, he got that one wrong, too.

I thought we would all die then, not survive and need a can of Bakkers Dozen Pop Tarts...

I ran into lots of rapture nuts at the time. I asked one lady if she would give me her address so I could move in when she was gone. She said no because she had kids. I said that wasn't an issue because her kids would be raptured too. She didn't seem as confident.
I hope these people recovered from the scam.
