On October 22, 1844, the religious followers of William Miller experienced the ‘Great Disappointment’. This was the day that William Miller promised that Jesus would return and all good Christians would be Raptured to Heaven. The Millerites were extremely disappointed when it didn’t happen. Lucy Smith Miller, William’s wife of 21 years, said that the Millerites now know how she felt on her wedding night and every anniversary since. She said she’d just be happy if they had sex. She wouldn’t even force him to dance.
