=A fake rabbi testifies of William Branham=

[[File:Fake Jewish Rabbi.png|250px|right]]

A message follower posted a video on Youtube that purports to be that of a Jewish Rabbi speaking about William Branham (see screenshot on the right). The title of the video is in the bottom left of the screenshot and reads "Who is William Branham - Jewish Rabbi."

But the individual in question is not a Jewish Rabbi. He is actually a message preacher from Italy, Mariano Guagliadro, who died several years ago. He was not Jewish, and he was not a Rabbi. But he did have a long beard... does that make a person a Rabbi?

William ~~Branham stated that a copy of the Houston photograph was in Washington, D~~.C.:

He is associated with an Italian website, La Voce di Dio, and with translations/recordings of William Branham’s sermons — see

=Faking the fulfillment of the Municipal Bridge vision=

A fake newspaper article is being circulated that purports to show the fulfillment of the [[The Municipal Bridge Vision|Municipal Bridge vision]].

The problem is that if one checks the facts it is obvious that the news story is fake. It is assumed that the article has been photoshopped to look like 16 people died. The actual facts are as follows:

~~=Faking the fulfillment of~~ the Municipal Bridge ~~vision=~~

::1. The story is about '''fourteen people''' that died in January 1890, not sixteen people.

~~[[Image:Fake article on~~ the Big Four Bridge ~~1890~~.~~jpg|thumb|left|250px]]~~

::2. These deaths occurred well before William Branham was born.

~~A fake newspaper article is being circulated~~

::3. The bridge was not the Municipal Bridge but was the Big Four Bridge which is close to Tow Head Island in the Ohio River between Jeffersonville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky.

The killed are: WM. S. HAYNES, 40 years; JOHN KNOX, 28 years; M. C. ADAMS, 26 years of Hyde Park, Pennsylvania; FRANK MAHER, 23, a native of New Jersey; PAT NAYLOR, 27, of Philadelphia; THOS. ASH, colored, 39; HENRY HENDERSON, colored, 34, of Henderson, Kentucky; CHAS. CHILES, colored, 30, of Henderson; THOS. JOHNSON, colored, 30, of Henderson; G. JOSEPH, colored, 25, of Henderson; HAMILTON MORRIS, 20, of Henderson; THOMAS SMITH, 27, of Henderson; FRANK SOAPER, colored, 25, of Henderson; ROBERT TYLER, 16, of Henderson.

The last man out of the caisson was FRANK HADDIX. He barely escaped being dragged down by a companion where he was caught waist deep in quick sand. ABE TAYLOR, one of the saved, says he stood nearest the iron ladder by which they got in and out. He heard a rumbling and there was a rush of air. Almost at the same instant he jumped up the rungs of the ladder, followed by other men. They had hardly got clear of the caisson when the water burst through the ~~man hole~~, knocking the men all into the river where they were picked up. HADDIX said he saw MORRIS, who was climbing next below himself, swiftly drawn under by the sand and heard his cries for help but could do nothing.

The caisson is not wrecked, as first supposed, but has settled down in the bed of the stream, completely filled with sand and water. The pumping station is hard at work clearing a way to the bodies but none will be reached tonight. There seems absolutely no hope for any of those caught within the caisson. The negroes who escaped say JOHN KNOX, gang boss, had them dig too deep before letting the caisson settle, and the digging was too close to the shoe of the caisson. Just before the accident, KNOX gave some orders to the keeper in charge of the upper door to the exit. He opened this door and the compressed air which kept out the river rushed out, letting in the stream. The men say they were working in ugly quicksand at the time. The caisson was about 40 feet by 20 and built of timbers twelve inches square.
