"We 'Broke That Story"

At-a-glance

A recent outbreak of terror had the believers of “Judgement Day” running around crying about the end of the world that was supposed to take place on May 21. Harold Camping, president of Family Radio, said that the rapture was supposed to happen last week, when the lord was supposed to choose who he would save. After nothing happened on May 21, Camping made another prediction that it was only the beginning, and that the world will be destroyed after five months of suffering on October 21.
     The message that the world was ending was spread all throughout the internet. Many people were trying to finish their bucket lists and say their goodbyes, but this “Judgement Day” prediction was not the only time that Camping’s been wrong.
     According to Fox 25 News, this is not the first time that Harold Camping had made a false prediction. Camping also predicted in 1994 that the world would come to an end, and nothing happened then either.
     Nobody will know for sure when the world is really supposed to end, and until then, people should not be living in fear of death. Nothing can be done with fear, and if the world were really supposed to end being afraid would do nothing to stop it. Predictions can be made, but there has been so  many times before when the world was “ending” but everything remained perfectly normal.

Harold Camping sounds like he plagiarized Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah Witnesses are a spin-off of the second Adventist which all came from the Millerite movement.American war of 1812 army captain William Miller is ground zero for Jehovah's Witnesses. Yes,the "great disappointment" of Oct 22 1844 has never died out... it lives on in the Jehovah's Witnesses. The central CORE doctrine of the Watchtower,yes the reason the Watchtower came into existence was to declare Jesus second coming in 1914.When the prophecy (derived from William Miller of 1842) failed they said that he came "invisibly". Watchtower reckless predictions of the (1914) (1975)..... second coming of Christ hardens skeptics in their unbelief and provides new fodder for cynics to mock the Christian faith. --- Danny Haszard been there
