Monday marks the one year anniversary of this absurd non-event. I would like to know what is going on with some of the main "prophets" now that Harold Camping has stopped attempting to predict the end of the world. For example, what is this woman doing now, what does she think about her participation in this fiasco? :mrgreen:

Great question, LanDroid. I'd love to talk to the owner of that car today. Does she feel like a fool or has she simply changed her beliefs to adapt to this failed prediction.

Found this, but nothing more - she is Allison Warden of Raleigh North Carolina. I expect she is keeping a very low profile. :?

Yes, I can't find contact info for her. I'd love to ask her a few questions.

I know exactly what she is doing: Re-reading Jim Baker's 'I Was Wrong,' practicing Jimmy Swaggert's melodramatic, 'I Have Sinned,' speech, telling all of her friends that if she doesn't receive $1M she will be struck by lightning, and obsessing over how that blemish on the back of her hand is evidence of an impending stigmata event.
