Cognitive Dissonance: Difference between revisions

Cognitive dissonance has been created in a number of people that have viewed the information on this website and we have been able to view the impact through email correspondence with message believers.  Followers of William Branham's message are rarely prepared to actually put their beliefs

#[[The Municipal Bridge Vision]] - The fact that this vision took place when William Branham is grounds for it being ignored as he could have make a mistake.  This ignores the fact that he said that it was fulfilled when he was an adult and it is the fulfillment that creates the problem, i.e. it never happened.

#[[The Municipal Bridge Vision]] - This happened a long time ago and therefore it is likely that the deaths of the workers simply went unreported.  This ignores the fact that the wives, parents and children of a group of 16 men that in a construction accident would not permit their memory to be forgotten.  For that reason, the deaths in the construction of the Big Four Bridge are still remembered.  A death of one person might be forgotten but not 16 men.

#[[The Vision of the Meetings in South Africa|African Vision]] - Too avoid this issue, people will say that William Branham was referring to India, not Africa, even though he specifically mentions Durban, South Africa in the vision.  Or another method of avoiding the implication of this failed vision is to state that well over 300,000 people have heard the tapes in South Africa thereby fulfilling the vision although this again is an irrelevant rationalization.
