A story traveled around social networks yesterday about a woman so distraught over the impending "rapture" stories she took it one step further. Armed with a box cutter she sliced the throats of her two daughters and then herself. Had it not been for a friend stopping by the house all would be dead.
The children are recovering in the hospital and their mother, without severe injures sits in jail under a bond of $1 million dollars.
Is this the only such tragedy that Harold Camping's lunacy caused? Probably not. And I would go further and say he doesn't even care. He sits on a fortune collected from donations for years by those who needed so badly to believe the end of the world and the coming of Christ.
Neither happened and yet lives are ruined. There is no going back for this woman. She wanted to spare her children. Instead of the anticipated god's judgement she will go to court and explain her actions. A totally different kind of judgement.
And the man behind the curtain lives oblivious or uncaring that his crazy words had serious consequences. Is he legally responsible for anything? I hope that he is inundated with civil law suits. False Promise. And up until his dying day he is deposed spending much of the fortune he stole from his followers on lawyers
Here is the link to the video that puts a face to this tragedy> bit.ly/iiY93a.
False prophecies take their toll on the believers. Too bad Harold Camping is left to count his money.
I Just Don't Get It.
