Executive summary: Predicted end of world at 1994

A former civil engineer who fancies himself an eschatologist, in 1992 Harold Camping gained some national attention when he predicted 1994 as the End of Days. As obviously this did not happen, in true Millerite tradition the apocalypse was postponed until 2011. Camping is founder and president of Family Stations, Inc., which owns and operates a network of over 50 mostly-FM radio stations, broadcasting exclusively Christian fundamentalist programming. Since 1961 Camping has hosted Open Forum, a live call-in talk show. Among his teachings are that all organized churches are apostate, and that believers should abandon their church and form fellowships centered exclusively around Camping's theories.
