THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL May 13, 2011 - When would the world end? How would it end? And what would become of those who were alive on the momentous date? The topic has picked up steam in recent months, as several end-of-time prophecies have become widely discussed. One of the chief prognosticators is Harold Camping, the 89-year-old president of Family Stations Inc., an Oakland, Calif.-based religious broadcasting network that boasts more than 150 outlets across the United States, as well as other stations around the globe. Along with his contention that the church age ended in 1988 and his call for people to leave organized congregations, Camping for several years has been promoting May 21, 2011, as Judgment Day. As the date draws closer, Camping has come under increasing fire from Christian leaders who contend the Bible says no one knows when Jesus Christ will return and the world will end.
