We understand from the testimony of [http://offtheshelf.life/podcast/episode-31-sylvia-perkins-part-3-why-i-left-the-message/ '''Sylvia Perkins'''] that disagreement with William Branham was not tolerated in the Branham Tabernacle.  This is a clear example of the spiral of silence at work within the message.  If William Branham said something that someone in the church disagreed with, they were ridiculed and either kept quiet or would leave the church.  As a result, there was no one in the church that disagreed with Wiliam Branham.
