Harold Camping

extraordinary belief that the world would end on a given date, took a public stand for it, and how they coped when nothing happened. Those included were a stock trader with a young family, a philosophy student about to graduate, and a retail manager. This documentary is not just about their beliefs but a story of how we believe. Neuroscience and social psychologists are also included and give insight on our curious relationship to being right and being wrong. Part One: Being Right One radio station in San Francisco, California caught the attention of the world. Harold Camping, CEO of Family Radio, started teaching and spreading the word that Judgement Day would begin May 21, 2011. God would rapture his chosen to heaven amid devastating earthquakes. On October 21, 2011, he would destroy the world by fire. Family Radio has been around since 1958 the video says. Tom was over Media Relations and worked closely with Harold. Harold was 89 years old. For 50 years, he volunteered as a bible teacher for Family Radio. His focus now was figuring out the end of time…

"Murphy where have you been going?" Murphy looks up at Finn and just shrugs. He figures he doesn't really owe an answer to anyone and especially not Finn. It's not like he's been doing anything wrong lately, if anything he's been looking for Akna these last few days and he hasn't seen a trace of her. He's stuck to his story that he's still trying to find scrap metal and maybe the occasional scavenge but he hasn't shared anything else. "You leave here everyday at the same time and hardly ever…

It was March of 2015 that Dan and I decided to make our first camping trip of the year. This particular road trip was not like the many others we have pursued. When we arrived, we were led by the event staff of Hoopla in the Hills to an open field. We pitched our tent and canopy in the breezy ice cold morning. We hung beautiful tapestries on the canopy for a secluded yet magical hangout spot. We placed a table and two chairs under the center of the canopy. On the table, we had a box of tissues,…

I Really Hate Camping I woke up, sat up, and rubbed my eyes. I saw so much light coming from the windows. I was confused because I didn’t remember seeing light when I was falling asleep. It had been completely dark when I fell asleep. When I got out the truck, I realized the truck was parked behind a Waffle House. It all started when my parents planned a trip to go camping at High Falls State Park for fall break in 2013. The whole family had to go, including myself. We’re a big family of…

When I was 12, going into 6th grade I went to summer camp. The camped was called Aloha Hive In Fairlee, Vermont. This was an all girls camp geared towards teaching girls skills such as, pitching a tent, hiking, making a fire, sailing, swimming among other things. Everyday at breakfast we would sign up for the activities we want to participate in for that day. On morning as I was eating an scanning over the list of the day 's activities my eye fixated on something called a “solo”. Immediately I…

I had been a camper at this camp when I was younger. It certainly appealed to me that I would be contributing some of my time to a place that had provided me with good memories. But I knew that being a counsellor would be much different and more difficult. I would have to get along with lots of new co-workers, manage large groups of young campers, and learn how to teach camping and hiking skills, all on my own. Visions of potential disasters swept over my mind. Despite my fears, I knew at the…

There was David, Bob, Jamie, Jenna. They were a group of friends from school and they were in a camp for the summer. Summer time came and they went to camp. Camp was fine for them. David and Jenna got to swim in the river while Jamie and Bob go to explore a cave by the camp. Everyday in the afternoon they would sit in the campfire and sing or sometimes say scary stories but they would always do marshmallows. One night they were saying scary stories but when David was about to say his there was…

One of my most notable and memorable experiences in nature occurred this past summer when I went up to a nature camp in Challenge, California. It was a Young Life Christian summer camp that lasted for a week in the woods of northern California. To help us become one with nature and to feel closer to God, our leaders had us turn in our phones on the bus ride up and did not give them back until about an hour into our trip home. This renunciation of my phone placed me in a form of isolation that…

The Journey of Packers Training Camp As I pull in the parking lot of Ray Nitschke Field, I am thinking of where I am going to set my stuff up and stay there. I am also thinking of the main guys that I want to get. It isn't a easy process, especially sitting in 85-90 degree weather for two and a half hours, outside not doing anything besides waiting for the buzzer to blow, allowing the packers to come out off the practice field. It is a great day to watch a Packer practice, and I get my stuff…
