Who's William Miller?

William Miller was a 19th century preacher who predicted second coming in the mid 1800's in upstate New york and managed to convince his congegation to give up everything they own. Needless to say nothing happened on the day he said it would. Amazing thing is that a few years later he managed to pull the same thing again.

Funny Thing was they gave away everything to other people, not to Wlliam Miller. They became "Millerites." Which later on became  the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Buch of brainwashed peckerheads.

Well, maybe more than one. 

I went to school with a Seventh Day Adventist.  It seemed they were a very strict religion, like no dancing, no this, no that, but apparently believing in hokum predictions and giving everything away is okay, no problem.

I wonder if he was embarrassed about his prediction not being true.  I guess not for long.
 
Hehe, a mate of mine dated a Seventh Day Adventist for a while. He wasn't too happy when he found out about that.  :D
