According to 'Family Radio', the 'Judgment Day'(the Rapture) will begin May 21, 2011 and the Earth will be destroyed on October 21, 2011.
Of course this is all nonsense, but I would like to know, does it scare you that a very powerful group is saying the world will end this year? Do you feel that this is another 'Heaven's Gate' or Jonestown type cult?
The 'Family Radio' website says:
"Judgment Day, May 21, 2011, The Bible Guarantees it!"
It shows the year 2012 crossed out, as if to say there is no 2012.
The host of the radio show, 89 year-old Harold Camping, has said he "knows" he will be taken up into Heaven before the end of the world.
I wonder, does he intend to participate in some mass suicide?
No crazies please.
"Rolling apocalypses." Very funny..lol
Answer
Hi there - good question.
I did not know that Camping was proclaiming then end of the world in May , but you were right.
I checked his web site and it said in big letters.
''THE END OF THE WORLD IS ALMOST HERE! HOLY GOD WILL BRING JUDGMENT DAY ON MAY 21, 2011''
I GUARANTEE you , the world will NOT end on that day , and Camping will be proved to be a false teacher.
The unmistakable fact is that according to Mark 13:32-33 is that no man has advanced warning of the time when the end of this world system will take place.
But for the moment lets consider how Camping and his FR is wrong.
Camping bases his 'end of the world' date using a known start date and adding 7 days.
In his view the Bible says that each day equals 1000 years.
So Camping is saying that the end will be at the end of the seventh day , which is 7000 years., and by his calculations that comes to May 2011.
Unfortunately his calculations are based on a fundamental error.
His reckons that a day truly is , and is exactly 1000 years.
Camping and co' believe this as they take the account of creation to be a literal 7 days long.
Exodus 20:11 .''For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and he proceeded to rest on the seventh day.''
However, the Bible does NOT says that 1 day for God EQUALS 1000 years in man's time.
It says this instead.
Psalm 84:10 ''For a day in your courtyards is better than a thousand [elsewhere]. I have chosen to stand at the threshold in the house of my God Rather than to move around in the tents of wickedness.''
2 Peter 3:8 ''.However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. ''
The scriptures may seem to indicate that a day is a thousand years but it does NOT say that it is equal.
This next verse goes contrary to the idea that 1000 years equals one day , it now compares it to a mere night watch , which is obviously far less than 1 day.
Psalm 90:4 ''For a thousand years are in your eyes but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch during the night.''
In the next verse we see another reference of a day with God , and it too does not indicate that the day is equal to 1000 years in man's time.
Revelation 16:14 .''-- to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.''
When you go through all the instances where a day and God are concerned the vast majority of them do not indicate a specific time duration , and definitely nothing to indicate that one day equals 1000 years.
On Campings site he did not show any scriptual proof to back the claim that 1000 years equals one day., because there is none.
This is a most fundamental requirement for his 'theory' and his teaching to be true.
The facts is , according to the Bible is that days are not fixed in duration , they can be short or long.
Some people have a problem understanding this , especially when it comes to the creation account in Genesis , but it is really very straight forward.
I am a man, I used to work building houses , it was a hard job.
Some days I was at work from sun up to well past sun down.,, on other days my work day was only a few hours long if I accomplished the days assigned tasks quickly.
This is not hard to comprehend , my work days varied in length , but I can still call them quite correctly , my work days.
Just as my work days varied in the exact time length so can Gods.
Jehovah Gods work days vary in duration and he kept going until the task set out upon was completed.
When looking back on the creation account , this means that some days could have been millions if not billions of years long , and some may have been very short by comparison....Whatever it took to get the job done.
So back to Camping.
His whole theory is based on fixed 1000 years days , but this is NOT supported in the Bible.
Camping is simply WRONG., and he is misleading his listeners.
Matthew 15:14 ''LET them be. Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.â
By his own words he will prove that he is not following the true God of the Bible - Jehovah.
Matthew 7:15-16 ''âBe on the watch for the false prophets that come to YOU in sheepâs covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits YOU will recognize them''

i hate my dad, but i have to move with him, how can i tolerate being around him? (long please read)?
Lexi
I don't want anything to do with my dad! I just hate him. I get sooo pissed just being in the presence of him. He's moving with his new wife soon and i have to come live with them. I don't know how im gonna handle this bs.
Heres the full story..
Ive been pretty stressed out in my life currently.
When i was 12, i was diagnosed with social anxiety and depression. My parents were the reason cause of my depression. Since my parents split in 2006, i tried to have a relationship with my mom. But nothing worked, she didn't wanna listen. I realized years later that she didn't care from the start. I didn't know at the time i was depressed inside until my dad took me to see a therapist. He signed me up for therapy cause i used to cut myself. I did it cause i was tired of my feelings being ignored by mom, and at the time my dad didn't spend much time with me anymore. I realize that he was also very depressed about the split. He would tell me his problems and talk badly about my mom. They had partial custody of me. Id see her every other week. My dad ended up getting full custody of me cause she was abusive physically and verbally. My mom didn't have any maternal instincts since i was a kid. My dad was basically like a mom and dad cause he brought me clothes and spent time with me. I still loved my mom though.
Since ive been living here with my dad the last couple of years our relationship has gotten worse. It's like we don't even have one anymore.
I remember everything just started going downhill by the time i got into high school (2011). My dad constantly would insult me, talk about me behind my back badly to his friends, wouldn't listen to my feelings and he didn't and still doesn't wanna fix our relationship.
We went to family therapy last year and he couldn't control his temper and the sessions got us nowhere. We would come home and still argue and he hates every therapist ive seen. Before we attended the sessions together he made fun of me for going there. So i stopped going :( it just hurt soo much when he says hurtful things to me.
He's been dating a woman for about 6 months and there getting married next week. He only cares for his fiance. He treats her better than ive been treated by him since i was a kid, it hurts. I feel like ive did everything i could to fix our relationship. I've talked to him millions of times, went to therapy, asked family for advise and nothing works. He's so stubborn and think everyone has a problem.
He's not there for me financially, or emotionally. I've had to get a job late last year cause he always went out to spend his money on his fiance and id have nothing to eat. Ive pretty much been on my own these last 3 years and he obviously didn't wanna raise me anymore. Hes going around saying im trying to ruin his life all cause i expressed to him my pain about this ****. I don't feel comfortable moving in with him and his fiance. They don't want me around. I don't know any other family members and i don't have any close friends to move in with.
My dad told me i can stay at our house if i can pay him rent so i agreed to it. Now he f****** says a couple days ago that he changed his mind and i have to come and live with him and his wife. My mind just went insane cause my dad and i have been debating on this for about a month and i thought he understands my pain here. I don't take this situation lightly. I've emotionally invested myself in both of my parents to get treated like crap and im done with it. We had the argument about the living arrangement a couple days ago and i just got real emotional and started crying and kept thinking thoughts of suicide. I felt like i was being stabbed in my heart and thought i want to stab him but i thought it would be better if i just killed myself. I've called the suicide hot line cause i felt like i was thinking too drastically. My mind had racing thoughts and ive been very anxious. I told my dad about myself having thoughts of suicide and he told me he won't feel guilty if i die, and he didn't do anything to make me fell this way. I think him saying that just set me off. I felt like i was going insane.The only thing that calmed me down is reading my journal and listening to music. When i think about these problems i get very anxious so i just try to keep my mind off of them. But i just can't believe my dad doesn't understand why i don't wanna live with him. I thought about going to a foster home but im gonna be 17 in 4 months and i heard its hard for teens to find a home being my age. Im gonna have to move with him but i have feelings of resentment and hate for him. I just feel like im gonna explode being around him. How can i tolerate him?
Answer
I also had anxiety around that age. When the house got stressful, I pitched a tent and camped outdoors for days on end- no one bothered me. Do you live in a state where it's still warm? or have a decent yard to that in?
