The California radio preacher who predicted the world's end on May 21 has been moved to a nursing home, where he is recovering from a stroke he suffered last month.
Harold Camping's daughter confirms her father recently moved from an area hospital to a skilled nursing facility. He is undergoing rehabilitation there to regain his strength following the June 9 stroke.
Camping's Family Radio network is working to replace the 89-year-old's show, Open Forum, with interim programming. The station has been playing repeats since his stroke.
It's unclear if the show will return.
Camping predicted Judgment Day would occur, first in 1994 and again in May. His media empire spent millions of dollars, some culled from followers' donations, over seven years on billboards and other publicity for his 2011 predictions about the spiritual Rapture in May and the end of the world in October.
It's about time. While I may not be one of faith... I respect anyone who finds it to be the path they choose.
ReplyDeleteI recognize that Camping is a blight on the religious community...and there are those who would try and paint the religious folks as being just as crazy as he is... which is a shame.
This man took advantage of people.. just Benny Hinn or Peter Poppoff... theists and atheist should rejoice that this charlatan is off the airwaves.
I wish there were a more vocal community of atheists and theists alike.. that expose liars for what they are... Hinn and Poppoff make millions by taking advantage of your faith... when will the Christian's take a stand and stop these folks from preying upon people and perverting your faith?
