After recalibration, Pastor Camping issued a new date: 21 October, 2011. Well.
There have been hundreds of attempts to set the end time date (some dates in the future are 2012, 2016, 2034, 2047, and 2060) even though we are specifically instructed not to set dates! Listen to what was said in 1844 after William Miller's failed predictions. "The world made merry over the old Prophet's predicament. The taunts and jeers of the 'scoffers' were well-nigh unbearable."
The world already thinks we are silly and deluded. We do not need to give them any new ammunition for their attacks. We do not need to bring ridicule on the Church.
