Harold 'I Can See Doomsday' Camping had a Stroke


Well, I guess Harold Camping's psychic powers didn't help him predict his own fate. The 'Man Who can See Doomsday' suffered a stroke last week.
The 89-year-old radio evangelist and president of the Oakland nonprofit Family Radio was taken by ambulance from his house Thursday night, a neighbor said, but his well-known, gravelly voice that led many believers to donate millions of dollars to his cause may never be the same.


"He had a stroke, it was on his right side," said the neighbor, who declined to give her name but said she and her husband helped and comforted Camping's wife, Shirley, as the drama unfolded Thursday night.


Her husband spoke again with Shirley Camping on Friday. "His speech appears to be a little bit slurred but otherwise he's OK," the neighbor said. "(Shirley) said he was doing good "... and the only thing that's affected is his speech."
Maybe that's God's way of telling him to stop lying about the end of the world.

I'm pretty sure he's had some transient ischemic attacks before which left him with brain damage. So his predictions came from an addled brain.

Those folks that gave up everything they owned, I wonder how they are doing?
