God will destroy those who destroy the earth
During his sermon on the Sixth Seal, William Branham takes the time to lash out critically at big-game hunters:
- "Why, it's a sin. That's not sport. When I was standing out on the field out yonder, in where I hunt and things like that, and see where them white hunters come out there and shoot them deer and cut a hindquarters off of it and sometimes kill eight or ten little does and leave them laying there, and their fawns running around trying to find their mammy, and you mean that's sportsmanship? That's pure murder in my book… Buffalo Bill and them plainsmen had shot off all them buffaloes, forty, fifty in an afternoon. They know when they ridded that, they got rid of the Indian. Oh, my, a stain on the flag the way they treated them Indians. There you are. But remember, the Bible said, "The hour's come that God will destroy them that destroys the earth."

William Branham shoots 34 large animals in 21 days
On May 26, 1965, William Branham went to Africa and shot 34 large game animals (including buffalo) in 21 days.
Owen Jorgenson wrote that:
- “Bill wanted to shoot a lion…He tried setting a trap. First he shot a zebra. Tying the dead zebra behind the Land Rover, he drug it in a wide circle around a tree, then left the zebra carcass under the tree, hoping a lion would smell the zebra scent and follow it to the tree”.
- "William Branham couldn't display any animals from his safari in Africa. He had left his 33 hunting trophies at the airport in Beira, Mozambique, with instructions for his air carrier to fly them back to the United States. Unfortunately, the trophies never arrived in the U.S., which meant that they were stolen in Mozambique. Because the airline was at fault, it offered Bill free airfare to Africa for another safari."
So it turns out that William Branham became the big-game hunter that he condemned so harshly. Plus, how much money would it have cost to ship 33 large game animals back to the United States?

What other "Sins" did William Branham preach against, but participate in?
William Branham in Shorts
William Branham also preached against was wearing shorts, which is something else he did while hunting in Africa:
- Now she has got her Adam to wearing her underneath clothes. A man put on them little old sissy-looking shorts , and get out here, I don't think there is much man to him. He is the biggest sissy I know of. See? See, she has got her perverted Adam to act like she, see, wearing her underneath clothes. She seen what she could do out yonder when she took off all of her clothes but her underneath ones. That's the shorts. Course, that's the woman's underneath clothes, and here her Adam is wearing them now...You don't even know whether you're a man or woman. And I understand that our United States Army is coming out next in shorts . That's right. See what the perversion is? It's a woman's clothes..."
William Branham at the Theatre, then lying about it.
On June 1 1963 William Branham says he went to see Marilyn Monroe on the big screen,
- "The kids had been telling me, "Daddy, you go down that River Of No Return, all the time," Said, "They got a play like that on, tonight." They told me a certain night it would be on, a week or two ahead of time. I thought, "Well, I want to see that, 'cause I've been down that river, two or three times; about five times, I think." Well, I--I went to see it. And Miss Marilyn Monroe acted that out." [1]
Then on June 23 of the same year he says that he had never seen her: On June 1 1963 William Branham says he went to see Marilyn Monroe on the big screen,
- "When I seen this woman not long ago, in a vision the Lord showed me, see her die. That, I can't never think of that woman's name, she, Marilyn Monroe. And I had never seen her. I don't go to movies." [2]
William Branham said an Angel told him not to defile himself. Can you defile yourself by wearing women's garments? How about by watching soft-porn?
- "He's a sinner to begin with. He's a pig to begin with. He don't know no different. If he goes to the movies, and he goes on Sunday, and he goes to ball games, and he does all these things; he's a sinner to begin with. His nature's like a hog...But when you go and call yourself a Christian and stick your nose in with him, then you're no better than he is; but you're worse!" [3]
- "She said, "Lets go to a movie." I said, "I don't go to movies." She said, "Well there's a dance down at the Odd Fellows Hall." I said, "I don't go to dances."

No, sir. No, indeedy." I said, "No, indeedy, I will never do that! (July 15, 1952, Faith in the Son of God)
