1000, 1910, 1919, 1988, 1997, 2012 and other things that went thump in the night.

The Apocrypha long predicted 1000 would be the year of Christ's earthly return and then destruction of the world. People went made pilgrimages, fled to safety and when nothing happened they went back home.

The Great Disappointment was reserved for the years 1843 and 1844, when Baptist preacher William Miller and his Millerite Movement wrongly prophesized three separate dates when Christ would return to earth and hellfire would consume us.

Halley's Comet in 1910 it passed so close that public warnings were issued by some of painfully suffocating global doom.

In 1919, American meteorologist Albert Porta announced that an upcoming conjunction of six planets would "cause a magnetic current that would pierce the sun, cause great explosions of flaming gas and eventually engulf the earth."

Edgar Whisenant had eighty-eight solid reasons why the Rapture would go down in 1988.

In 1997 pictures surfaced of Comet Halle-Bopp with a supposed secondary object lurking behind it. Some cults bought in.

Remember December 31, 1999 (aka Y2K). Nothing much ado about nothing.

What about June 6 2006 (The Number of the Beast). Although using numerology June 6 2004 was 6 6 6. Nothing happened.

May 21 2011. 6 PM came and went around the world, yet another prophecy failed to materialize. "The cold, hard reality is some believed, some gave away earthly belongings or drained their bank accounts, and it was false and they basically emptied out everything to follow a false teacher."

May 21st is probably a prelude of what to expect in 2012. People will start the Twitter's when nothing happens. People write books. Do they believe it? Is it true? In the 70's and 80's people wrote books as they do today. No one knew then that we'd be able to research things over the internet and connect the dots. No one knew then that we'd have the power of the internet, Facebook and Twitter to connect with other parts of the world. Nancy Tappe wrote of "Blue" people, "Purple" people and "Indigo" children in the 70's. Someone who writes a book channeled or from Angels on that topic does not legitimize it. Ascension , FofL and other books do not legitimize their respective topics. Use books only as a means to the end to find God as Emmet Fox wrote.

"The Indigo Evolution" was supposed to start a wave of Indigo across the planet a few years back. Luckily we get the story behind the story from Little Boy Blue:
