World ends as doomsday church disbands in Seoul
In Seoul the Mission for the Coming Days church apologized for misinterpreting the Bible after predicting the rapture would occur last Wednesday. The group claimed 10,000 followers with another 10,000 believers in related sects. Founder Lee Jang-rim, 46, is jailed on swindling charges involving up to 4 million dollars. Police report bonds worth 380,000 dollars maturing next May, undermining the preacher's credibility.
