Jonah's Nineveh, Camping's Open Forum, heretic-or-dummy, and the end-is-near bus
The hosts return to Jonah: Nineveh repented and God withheld judgment, undermining rigid date-setting. One host does an impression of Camping's Family Radio call-in show Open Forum ('Welcome to Open Forum,' pages turning). They pose the question — is Camping a heretic or a dummy — and allow that doctrine taught by demons is dangerous, while most followers are sincere. Banter follows about the billboards and a host's wife spotting an 'end is near' bus on the highway, plus a joke about emptying your bank account on May 20th.
