What happens when your end-of-the-world prediction is wrong

[Warpy]

5. Cults generally find NM inhospitable

but we did have one clinging to the northeast corner. Its leader is sitting in the state pen for getting a little too friendly with girl children in the cult but before he got caught, he did predict the end of the world and his own metamorphosis into an obvious god. When it didn't happen, the cult simply denied such predictions had been made. This is the nature of unshakable belief, you believe whatever god's go-between tells you to believe on any given day.
