Harold Camping

Below is the full statement issued by Harold Camping and Family Radio in March 2012 admitting that the doomsday predictions were "wrong" and apologizing for their "incorrect and sinful" statement. Last year, Camping famously predicted that the Rapture would occur May 21, 2011 and the end of the world would occur Oct. 21, 2011.

The Doomsday Clock has been moved forward one minute by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists bringing it five minutes closer to the midnight mark.

The Doomsday Clock was created as a figurative measure of how close the world is to ending as a result of continuing production of nuclear weapons and deadly weather calamities caused by climate change.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is led by world renowned scientists, Nobel laureates, environmental advocates and more. The group has moved the clock forward believing the government has not succeeded at significantly limiting the proliferation of biological warfare or creating sustainable forms of energy. more >>

Researchers are debating whether or not the Mayan calendar actually attempted to predict the end of days.

Mayans existed in Central America between 250 and 900 A.D. They devised a cyclical calendar that can run 5,126 years, beginning in 3114 B.C. Because 5,126 minus 3,114 equals 2,012, conspiracies have started that the Mayans were trying to predict that the world would end in 2012.

Researchers say there is no truth to the conspiracies, according to ABCnews.com. more >>

Despite reports of retirement following his second failed doomsday prediction, rumors are swirling that radio preacher Harold Camping might be preparing his next rapture prediction.

Camping is analyzing the bible and studying hidden languages that will lead him to the date the world will end, according to a Gather website report.

The report also said Camping still has followers despite his two failed premonitions. Some of his devout followers emptied their pockets and donated big money to promote his first two predictions. more >>

Contrary to what one “Fellowship” attendee has reported, Family Radio founder Harold Camping's daughter has come out to say the Bible teacher is not retiring but just working from home, and that he just 'feels' retired.

A maelstrom was sparked by a young documentarian at one of Harold Camping's meetings who came out to tell The Christian Post that the 'Doomsday Prophet' was retiring.

Now Camping's daughter, Susan Espinoza, who is manager of the international department at Family Radio, has refuted those claims. more >>

Family Radio has commented on the allegations about its founder and president Harold Camping retiring since The Christian Post reported on Oct. 24 that the 90-year-old doomsday prophet had told a young church member he was "retired."

At the time, CP was not able to confirm that information directly with Camping or any official at Family Radio. However, the young man, also a documentarian, said he had recordings supporting his claims.

Susan Espinoza, Camping's daughter and manager of the international department at Family Radio, has denied that her father has retired completely. more >>
