William Branham's exaggerations are acknowledged by some in the message: | |||
:''According to the witnesses at the baptismal service, the crowd was only a few hundred in size. The number being baptized is uncertain, but it was only a few. While baptizing one of the converts, a loud noise like a clap of thunder or a sonic boom occurred. It was so loud that it frightened the crowd and shocked some causing them to attempt to take cover. There were no other visible or audible signs. | |||
:''This is quite different from Bro. Branham’s version of the story. Neither Doc Branham or Fannie Wilson reported hearing a voice. No one in the crowd saw a bright light descend. Additionally, the witnesses reported the crowds were not as big as Bro. Branham sometimes claimed.<ref>defendingwilliambranham.com/1933-baptismal-service/</ref> | |||
The question must be asked - "At what time does an exaggeration become a lie?" In this case, it is clear to us that William Branham was lying, not only about this, but about a great many other things that William Branham used as "vindication" for his prophetic ministry. | |||
