Harold Camping suffers a stroke

[Orphia Nay]

He survived the stroke, but his speech has been affected.

A neighbour told local media that the stroke was on Camping's right side. 'His speech appears to be a bit slurred but otherwise he's OK,' she said.

'(Shirley, his wife) said he was doing good... and the only thing that's affected is his speech.'

Is it too soon to joke that this was his spiritual Judgement Day?

I try not to laugh at the misfortunes of sickly, old farts, no matter how offensive they could be. It's tacky, and I suspect you did not grow up in a culture that valued things to not be tacky.

OTOH, Hitler was younger than I when he killed himself. It's open season on Hitler.

I hope he didn't cancel his medical insurance for the rapture.

As long as he can be understood saying, "Rapture - February 16, 2017," then I suppose all is fine.

I wonder if that August 13, 2011 that popped up as the date of his passing is for real or not.

I hope he makes as good a recovery as can be expected. It could have been much worse.

 

[Belgian thought]

Just another rupture...

Clearly God smote him for being a false prophet.

It's Not the Rapture But ...

... the preacher who predicted it just had a stroke.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

He was right - it is the end of the world. At least for him.

 

[Jon.]

I hope he recovers fully (although given his age, I'm not optimistic), if only so he can see October 21, 2011 come and go without incident.

I guess I was a little late with my thread.

Anyway, maybe he meant "rupture" not "rapture." **

** Probably late with that joke too but I'm too lazy to check right now.

I'm sure he'll have plenty of money for medical care -- unlike his followers, he didn't treat his finances as though he actually believed what he was saying.

I'm surprised he didn't see this coming.
