https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_LeeThe followers of Mother Ann came to believe that she embodied all the perfections of God in female form,[12] and was revealed as the "second coming" of Christ.[13] The fact that Ann Lee was considered to be Christ's female counterpart was unique. She preached that sinfulness could be avoided by not only treating men and women equally, but also by keeping them separated so as to prevent any sort of temptation leading to impure acts. Celibacy and confession of sin were essential for salvation
The world couldn't wait long though and the second second coming of christ was found in John Nichols Thom. In 1834 his movement began after being released from an Asylum he fought against the poor laws of england at the time and had gathered a peaceful group of workers to rally against the new laws. He would be a martyr for his cause after it turned violent with Thom shooting two men dead.

Well since that didn't work it looks like Jesus tried again
Looks like God didn't want the netherlands to be left out so Lou de Palingboer became Jesus incarnate to spread the good word to the heathens of the netherlands.Arnold Potter (1804"1872), Schismatic Latter Day Saint leader; he claimed the spirit of Jesus Christ entered into his body and he became "Potter Christ" Son of the living God. He died in an attempt to "ascend into heaven" by jumping off a cliff. His body was later retrieved and buried by his followers

It seems as time has gone on more and more the need for christ to return has become imperative. The 1900's saw a return of Christ factor unheard of outpacing the returns of 1700-1900. The 21st century is off to an even hotter start.
Questions for debate:
Has Christ returned?
Can any of these claims be falsified?
Is the evidence for their claims stronger or weaker than the original claims for Christ?
Why do people disregard these returns as cult worship?
