By P. Getty May 21st has come and gone, yet we are all calm inwards. Are you as amazed as I am? OK, perhaps I'm not really confounded that unusual "Ogle day," prophesied by a kooky serious head, has come and gone with slight break down to my inborn Saturday be born convention of Looney Tunes and Captain Masticate. In the function of does seem a mystery, but, is why on earth Harold Camping, the self proclaimed lecturer of Bible truth, take charge of Inhabitants Connections, a multimillion-dollar Christian troop, and ballpoint of this hokum is sticking to his story that hold out Saturday realistically was the beginning of the end. "Ogle Day on May 21 did come, " but in a elder spiritual procedure, Camping proclaimed in a different keep a record published on christianpost.com. Camping distant avowed that his earlier end-times prophecies where on earth moreover excellent, but once more it was in a spiritual procedure. The most up-to-date new negotiate is that, according to Camping, Ogle Day is elder feeling five months of Ogle days. Superficially, donate are so many of us in ultimatum of judgment, his god won't be helpful to entire the trials until October 21st, the day Camping "now" predicts for the enrapture, time was the number one go with Jesus, and the rest of us, and the world, fortitude make feeling John Edwards and creative quiet, but in a furious blaze of trouble and pest. In light of the work of Festinger and his storming of a doomsday-cult back in the 50s, as was eloquently discussed by Dr. Duke in his rancor post, donate is highest insistently a jacket for cognitive dissonance at work in the wake of this spoiled idea. While the dissonance may perhaps not lie with Camping per se, his new idea is actual meant to crusade the escalating dissonance and his herd. It would seem that the point out completed by Prus (1976) who noted that serious groups, and extraordinarily ones who make unreserved claims about end mature, must come up with cut ways to ease their buddies dissonance if they are to carry on and increase their defenses. In the end, we can be no problem that donate is punch shocking about an old impostor unsettling his buddies with smoke, mirrors and promises. And individuals buddies fortitude actual eat it up. They simply view too further of their time, money and selves invested to turn back now. Christian Reveal keep a record on Harold Camping's original quackery Dr. Duke's keep a record Prus, 1976
