The news item below includes a name familiar to those who have read any articles/books concerning failed dates and date-setters…that of Harold Camping.
quote…
Marie Exley of Colorado Springs is convinced that Armageddon, the end of the world as written of in the Bible, will come next year.
Her conviction is so strong that, though unemployed, she’s paid $1,200 to buy advertising space on 10 Springs bus benches through October to get the word out. The ad says, “Save the Date! Return of Christ: May 21, 2011, WeCanKnow.com.”
“I want to do all I can to get the message out,” Exley, 31, said.
Exley got the idea for the ads from listening to Family Radio, a Christian broadcast heard on 55 stations in the United States, including KFRY, 89.9 FM, in Pueblo. It’s hosted by controversial Christian leader Harold Camping.
Camping predicts Christ will return on the date in Exley’s advertisement. Listeners in other states have also purchased outdoor ad space to proclaim the date.

Why do people continue to set dates when they know God’s word plainly says,
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matt. 25:13
The Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for Him, and in an hour that he is not aware of. Matt. 24:50
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Luke 12:40
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13:22
Oh no! not that Harold Camping again, who claims to know more that Jesus………..and what a lot there is to be biblically accomplished in the next 10 months. I had better catch that cruise I want to go on, double quick. WHY is the man so desperate to look utterly stupid yet again?
Sigh…and we wonder why we are called kooks?
