On Feb. 18th, I went to Los Angeles to see a Henry Rollins, Spoken Word show. Walking after the show, I saw a giant billboard that declared that the end was coming on May 21st, 2011. It looked very similar to the one below:
A week or so after seeing the billboard sign, I heard it talked about on a Christian radio program. They said that the leader behind this group is Harold Camping, and they definitely placed his group as a cult. From what they said on the air and from what I'm reading on-line, this is not the first time Camping has made an end of the world claim. He was wrong then, and he'll likely be wrong this time too! In addition to these far-fetched end of the world claims, which he somehow deducts from Scripture, he also teaches that the Holy Spirit has left the church and he encourages people to leave their churches because of this. His group, I guess, according to Camping, has the Holy Spirit.

In conclusion, May 21st, 2011, is supposed to be the rapture according to Camping. Then on October 21st, 2011, it's supposed to be the end of the world. If none of these comes true, which it won't, let's check to see the response of Harold Camping and his followers. Will they admit they were wrong, or will they just pick another date a decade or so away?
