Concern is rising over a new burst of activity by followers Warren Jeffs — the imprisoned leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS).

According to outside observers, there has been a flurry of church meetings almost daily, a set of mysterious construction projects and widespread re-baptism as thousands of followers react to apparent prophesies of doom from their imprisoned leader.

NECN reporter Greg Wayland takes a closer look at where fear, fascination and our deepest worries all come together. His report includes comments by cult expert Steve Hassan.

Family Radio, the doomsday cult led by false prophet Harold Camping, is reportedly finding lots of followers in Africa.

South Africa’s The Daily Maverick has published photos of buildings, T-Shirts and cars advertising the cult leader’s nutty ‘End of the World’ prophecy.

As he has done before, Camping has used a self-developed ‘mathematical system’ to torture the Bible into revealing to him that the world will end on May 21, 2011.

A previous date, Sept. 6, 1994, came and went without the Judgement Day Camping had announced.Camping’s Family Radio station reaches listeners around the world.
