Field Guide to the Wild World of Religion

The OOPS!! Files

Or "Backpedalling for Dollars"


The following teachers or groups all bombastically and dogmatically publicly declared specific dates or time frames within which certain prophetic events were to occur. Each continued their ministry with barely a hiccup after the original predictions failed. Click on the name to see the tap-dancing and fudging and backpedaling they did to account for their errors.

Note: This section of the Field Guide is currently under construction. Only those names underlined are currently included in these profiles. Material covering those not underlined is being compiled and will be added soon. Suggestions from readers of further names for inclusion are welcome. New names will also be continually added in coming months. The Prophetic field is booming with new dogmatic prognostications these days!
