Harold Camping Is Not Backing Down or Giving Back

Harold Camping is an owner of radio stations and a prominent figure in the broadcast industry.
His blown prediction and continued predictions are a real embarrassment to many in the Christian radio community, who are not saying much.

Camping is still predicting that the world is really going to end on October 21, and as far as he's concerned, Judgment Day did occur on May 21. But God decided not to make people suffer through the next five months.

As for all the donations made to Family Radio - Camping doesn't intend to give them back. To him, they were made to further the gospel, and that's what his organization has done with the money.

But for sure, they'll be more low-key about the October 21 hard date for end-of-world - the billboards are coming down. Family Radioâ€™s international projects manager Matt Tuter tells the Christian Post he blames the Family Radio board â€“ â€œthey are the ones responsible for this messâ€, by listening to Camping about yet another of his apocalyptic predictions.

Tuter says Campingâ€™s actually predicted The End about ten times. He says itâ€™s true that Family Radio and Camping spent $100 million to publicize that â€œthe end is near.â€ But he says â€œA lot of the reporters have got it wrongâ€¦The largest portion of the money did not come from donorsâ€, but from selling off KFTL television and an FM station.
