Well, waddaya know. The charlatan has a brand spanking new website up with lots of fancy flash menus and graphics! The doomsday countdown is gone, no mention of the rapture (at least not on the home page) but you betcha the payment system is up and running!
Though, apparently most of the people at family radio didn’t believe in him. There is the possibility that the more responsible person in charge was preparing for the ouster of Camping once his prediction failed and the revamping of the radio station.
I was wondering about that myself… but I’m not the least bit surprised about the scam artist. I’m truly sorry for anyone who gives up their money to him.
Looking around in it, I think that web page is an old one rather than a brand new one. Clicking on “Family Radio News” on that web page gets you the Q4 2008 edition. Their “Radio Reading Circle” (under “Family Features”) is last dated 06/27/2007.
I’m guessing their webadmin just nuked the website that announced May 21 and replaced it with an old one as a placeholder until they could get their act together again.
Man, I was almost giddy with anticipation and I am actually kinda mad at myself for not seeing this shameless tactic of just changing the website, omitting all that Armageddon stuff and behaving as if nothing at all had happened.
What infuriating humbugs these self-aggrandizing idiots are.
It will still be interesting to see how this develops, me thinks, and how long before the next end-of-the-world date is announced.
Well, he’s not a total fraud. Both the old and the new websites still have a place for [del]suckers[/del] [del] believers[/del] suckers to make contributions.
See, I was looking for a thread on how camping in first-person shooter games didn’t work. If you’d posted that thread on the Call of Duty forums there’d already be about 80,000 posts, most of them questioning the previous poster’s sexual orientation.
Weird. They are disappointed that the world did not end . Hard to feel for people who thought they would be sucked into heaven while the rest would suffer horribly for 6 months. Fuck them.
