The Dami Mission disbanded and apologized to the nation. The "doomsday" churches had predicted that last Wednesday would bring the Rapture--the faithful's ascension to heaven. Possibly thousands of believers sold property, left families, and quit schools and jobs. A newspaper said the disbanding was approved by the church's founder, in jail on charges of swindling parishioners. This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
