Will Camping Move The Goalposts Again?

How many times must a person be wrong before they admit that they are yet to be acquainted with John Feces when it comes to predicting the end of the world?

I believe this fool will once again come up with some lame excuse and it will be more ridiculous than the last one.

Camping

South Africa

Camping Cop-Out
 
"Until he dies" is exactly the words I thought before opening the thread. I also think it's because he looks close to death.
 
He has to double down each time in an attempt to recoup his losses.
 
I guess that Camping could say this:

''So, what's the big deal with my prophesy being wrong? It's not the end of the world.''

Of course he'll move the goalposts again. The question is, will anyone pay attention? You generally only get one crack at these things. Since his well-publicized prediction failed, the one that is coming next week is not getting much of any buzz at all.

Okay, CNN had a bit about it, but mostly about how crazy Camping is.
 
Oh, and this is priceless:

I’m still a long way away from being healed but there is progress being made and at times it looks like it’s very substantial progress, although I still have along way to go. I am particularly grateful when I hear about your prayers and your concerns for my health and well-being and I’m glad that God is answering those prayers.

I guess it the healing process ain't gonna be that long...
If he had not kept us from knowing everything that we didn’t know, we would not have been able to be used of Him to bring about the tremendous event that occurred on May 21 of this year, and which probably will be finished out on October 21, that’s coming very shortly. That looks like it will be at this point, it looks like it will be the final end of everything.

So he's got a long healing process... that won't matter in a week.

This just supports my contention that these people don't even believe themselves. It's just an attention-getting ploy.
 
Originally, May 21 was supposed to be the Rapture and October 21 was to be the end of the world. Camping's excuse for May 21 was this:

And you remember Camping’s explanation. The Rapture did actually happen, we just didn't notice it.

Do you think he's crazy enough to try that one again, that the world came to an end, but nobody seemed to notice?

How many times do these guys get it wrong before they give up?
 
I suppose you have to admire his willingness to set a date in the very near future. Most of these nuts always set the date 10 or 12 years ahead so that it's far enough away that people will have forgotten about it when the day comes.

Here's the part that stood out for me:

...we all have children, and have loved ones that are dear to us that we know are not saved; and yet we know that they’ll quietly die. We can be more and more sure that they will quietly die and that will be the end of their story.

Whereas the true believers will quietly receive the new heaven and the new earth. I really am beginning to think as I restudied these matters that there’s going to be no big display of any kind. The end is going to come very, very quietly probably within the next month. It will happen, that is, by October 21.

So while he's pretty sure of Oct 21 (he actually uses the word 'probably' a lot in his message), it sounds like he's setting for another unseen 'spiritual' event. The elect will spiritually receive heaven, and the non-saved will spiritually die to it.

He we go again...

I don't know how well-publicized they were, but he's done it twice before...
 
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly

DJ spinning I said "My My"

Flash is fast Flash is cool

Francois c'est pas flashe non due

And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot

And you get in your car and drive real far

And you drive all night and then you see a light

And it comes right down and it lands on the ground

And out comes the man from Mars

And you try to run but he's got a gun

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head

And then you're in the man from Mars

You go out at night eating cars

You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too

Mercurys and Subaru

And you don't stop

You keep on eating cars

Then when there's no more cars you go out at night

And eat up bars where the people meet

Face to face

Dance cheek to cheek

One to one

Man to man

Dance toe to toe

Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with cars

He's eating bars

Yeah wall to wall

Door to door

Hall to hall

He's gonna eat 'em all

Rapture
Be pure

Take a tour through the sewer

Don't strain your brain :)

Paint a train

You'll be singing in the rain

Said don't stop to the punk rock

The 21st is my birthday - I'd better make sure the party doesn't get out of control and cause some horrific apocalyptic accident.

You were really born on 10:21? :) That's sooo cool! You must be Mashuna, the son of Shem! Who would imagine that?

Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
Genesis 10:21

You must be very old now. That's good. The older, the wiser. :)

It's been a long time since I saw old uncle Japh.
 
If the world is ending, and you know about it, why don't you spend what time you have left having fun? Take a huge loan, because you won't have to pay it back, and spend it on everything you've ever wanted to do.

If anyone claims they know the world is ending and isn't doing that, they're lying.

I disagree. If they believe the world is ending and the righteous/believers will be saved, it would be a mistake under that belief system to act in any way dishonestly (and promising to pay someone back a loan, and believing you'll be able to break that promise, seems to be dishonest).

On the other hand, I always wondered why they don't sell all they have and give it to the poor. In fact, I recall some of Camping's followers did give him a lot of their assets, at least the first time around.
