Radio evangelist Harold Camping faces doomsday
Two years ago radio evangelist Harold Camping was predicting the end of the world. Now aides say his false predictions are likely to result in the end of his California-based Family Radio ministry.
The Contra Costa Times reported that the ministry has sold its prominent stations and laid off veteran staffers. Its net assets dropped from $135 million in 2007 to $29.2 million in 2011 according to tax records. Donations have dropped 70 percent since Camping’s Rapture prediction proved incorrect.
Camping, 91, predicted the Rapture would occur on May 21, 2011. A few days after that date, he said his calculations were off by five months.
