Well folks, this is it.. judgement day.. that’s what Harold Campion of the christian Family Radio on-air church has been saying for the last several years..
Believe it or not, I’ve been listening to Campion on and off for more than 20 years.. usually on long night drives by myself. You might wonder why an ultra liberal Jewish-agnostic would ever listen to ultra conservative christian radio.. I wonder, too , sometimes.. but somehow Campion’s strange but patient handling of the questions he gets from believers and hecklers on his radio show.. his bizzarre but consistent world view and his robotic but paternal speech have some sort of draw to me..
“.. thank you for sharing.. and may we take our next caller, please… welcome to Open Forum, what is your question ?”
I love hearing the certainty in Campion’s voice even thogh the things he says run counter to everything I believe..
Well.. Brother Campion has been predicting that tonight.. 2AM EST specifically, will begin the Day of Judgement.. All the rightious will be swept away and the time of tribulations will begin for those left behind.. then sometime in october the real end will supposedly come..
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. Revelation 9:5
Campion and his followers have been driving across country in a bus caavan proclaiming the end, they’ve taken out TVand newspaper ads.. and every news channel is full of their message..
What’s it mean ? ..,.. We’ll I’m enough of an anarchist to say.. it would be so cool if they were right.. if the word had to end in fire and brimstone during your lifetime. .. wouldn’t it be cool to see ?
on the other hand . the world is full of love and beauty.. and I’m not ready to let it go…
besides.. the world has already ended for me once..
gnite all, gnite sam..

John, i have been hearing a lot about that wacko for a while now, and one of my wifes acquaintances spent his whole retirement (some 140k) on putting up billboards in NYC about the impending apocalypse. Just makes me wonder how folks like that tick!
