"We're not going to put up any more billboards. The world has been warned."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Camping had kept a low-profile since Saturday, the day he had forecast for the return of Jesus Christ to Earth. He and his devoted followers have been warning for months that on May 21, a select 2% to 3% of the world's population would be taken to heaven. Those left behind would face months of tribulation before perishing in the Earth's destruction, which Camping said would happen on October 21.

This is the basis for his new prediction, which Camping claims is not new at all. He told listeners on his Family Radio broadcast Monday that God is "loving and merciful," and had decided not to punish the humanity with five months of destruction.

"We've always said October 21 was the day," Camping said during his show. "The only thing we didn't understand was the spirituality of May 21. We're seeing this as a spiritual thing happening rather than a physical thing happening. The timing, the structure, the proofs, none of that has changed at all."

"We're not going to be passing out tracts," Camping said. "We're not going to put up any more billboards. We're not going to be advertising in any way. The world has been warned. We did our little share and the media picked it up. But now the world has been told, it's under judgment."

9. He's hoping he will die before then. He had to backtrack back in 94' too. Asswipe. nt.

10. Is "under judgment" like being "under double secret probation?"

Camping's just embarrassed that he wasn't raptured. There were probably some helium-filled blow-up dolls that got closer to heaven than he's likely to get.

11. Why bother with more billboards?

That would eat into the profits of the donations that were left over from putting up the first round. Probably wouldn't make as much money the second time around.

12. After a hugely publicized fuck-up, he says "I told you so!"

By God, THAT is republican as can be! Fuck it up, blame it on somebody else and then say "I told you so!"
