Doomsday preacher sets new date for Judgment Day

For many months, Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio and its main voice Harold Camping had been thundering warnings that Judgment Day was to take place May 21, 2011, and that it would be a certainty with "no Plan B."

The site even had a countdown on the front page of its website, listing the number of days left until the return of the living God:

Family Radio's homepage on May 18, 2011, proclaimed three days left until return of Jesus to Earth.

Family Radio's homepage on May 21, 2011, proclaimed zero days left until return of Jesus to Earth.

But now that the end did not arrive on Camping's schedule, all images and text proclaiming Judgment Day have been scrubbed off the network's homepage.

No matter when Jesus returns, learn the spectacular, ultimate destiny of you and your loved ones, something far greater than floating around on clouds. Read the best-selling "Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You've Never Been Told," personally autographed by the author.

(...) Though the homepage of Family Radio has been revamped, there are still some hidden pages on the interior of the site linking to previous copy with Camping's prediction of the Judgment Day for May 21. Among the hidden pages is a PDF file of a flyer proclaiming the end with certainty. Another page dedicated to tracts about Judgment Day being May 21 has been completely scoured of related material.

The 89-year-old gravel-voiced Camping took to the airwaves of Family Radio tonight to discuss the non-event, and said: "On May 21, this last weekend, this is where the spiritual aspect of it really comes through. God again brought judgment on the world. We didn't see any difference but God brought Judgment Day to bear upon the whole world. The whole world is under Judgment Day and it will continue right up until Oct. 21, 2011 and by that time the whole world will be destroyed."

"Are you ready to shoot yourself or go on a booze trip or whatever?" Camping said.

"I can tell you very candidly that when May 21 came and went, it was a very difficult time for me, a very difficult time. I was wondering, 'What is going on?'" he said.
