Friday Is New Doomsday, Christian Radio Network Says By Cbc

One of these Fridays, the world may end.
Family Radio did not respond to an email request for an interview, and a phone number on the website was not in service Wednesday.

Ascough says there is historical precedence for groups setting another end date fairly quickly, and points to the Millerites, whose leader William Miller was the founder of the Seventh Day Adventist movement, which is still around today.

In the case of the Millerites, they went through two "Great Disappointments" when Jesus Christ did not return in 1844 and 1845.

Ascough expects Family Radio will endure because, in such instances, people tend to be drawn to the group because of the charisma of the leader or his close associates.

Because of that, followers are willing to cut the leader some slack and "are willing to allow that God might slowly unfold things to them," says Ascough.
