Whatever happens, I just hope that there is no Jonestown/Heaven's Gate type mass suicide.
It's one thing to believe in the end of the world, it's quite another thing to kill everyone in your own family because of said belief.

I just got word from England that my mom, brother and one of my sisters are gone!

They left for Glasgow though, not sure you can describe that with the word 'heaven' ;)

I am not familiar with England but I think Glasgow is more hell than heaven no?

Yeah, that would suck. If they'd just kill themselves it's their (delusional) choice, but killing family is just plain evil.

so... his prediction is based on it being 7 "God days" (1day = 1000years) since the flood.

So what if Jesus just leaves heaven today, but takes 6-8 weeks for delivery?

This poor poor misguided preacher . LOL.

As May 21 drew nearer, followers say donations grew, allowing Family Radio to spend millions of dollars on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 recreational vehicles plastered with the doomsday message. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.

Marie Exley, who helped put up apocalypse-themed billboards in Israel, Jordan and Lebanon, said the money helped the nonprofit save as many souls as possible.

In New York, at least one of Camping's followers continued to hold out hope that Judgment Day would come.

Retired Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker Robert Fitzpatrick, 60, said he spent more than $140,000 of his savings on subway posters and bus shelter advertisements warning of the May 21 Judgment Day.

"God's people are commanded to sound the warning, to sound the trumpet so to speak so people know," Fitzpatrick said of his advertising blitz.

Fitzpatrick said Camping led him to believe Judgment Day would be May 21, but added that he disagreed with the broadcaster's prediction it would begin in Asia.

In Fitzpatrick's view, from his reading of the Bible, Judgment Day would begin around 6 p.m. Eastern Time. He said on Saturday that he still had no doubts Judgment Day would come this day.

"I wouldn't even entertain that question because there's too much proof from the Bible," he said.

If I had a nickel for every time one of these "doomsday" predictions were made, I'd have enough nickels to put into a sock and beat them to death.
