Calif Christian group now sees end of world Friday

(AP)  SAN FRANCISCO — The Christian ministry that predicted the rapture would take 200 million Christians up to heaven on May 21 now says a cataclysmic event will destroy the globe on Friday.

Members of the Oakland-based Members of Family Radio International ministry and its preacher, Harold Camping, declined comment on their preparations for the day.

Despite its previous prediction, members of the group awoke May 22 to find themselves still on Earth.

Camping still spreads the word through his Family Radio website.

This guy sounds like he was related to Herbert Armstong. My question is how is it he knows when the end is , but God says not even Jesus knows, is he higher than Christ?

Hmm, looks like the rapture missed me (and them). Well, that means they and we've got less than 36 hours left! Par-tee On! (I'll see you on Saturday, with or without the aspirin!)
