While there is no question that Congressman Upshaw was miraculously healed, there is a significant concern with the huge changes in the story over time as it was told by William Branham.
The picture of William Upshaw that has been painted into the minds of William Branham's followers is that of a frail, old man who was destined to a crippled life in a wheelchair. William Branham often mentions how the Congressman was so bad off that he had to be wheeled around, carried on beds, and practically unable to function.
 
But in the newspapers, we find Upshaw travelling around in convoys of automobiles, '''walking around freely using his crutches''', and speaking to multiple audiences per day -- both for policical speeches and evangelistic sermons.
 
So it appears that Congressman Upshaw's healing may not have been quite as miraculous as it was described by William Branham.
 
Additionaly, there is a significant concern with the huge changes in the story over time as it was told by William Branham.


In Congressman Upshaw's testimony, William Branham never speaks to him or even acknowledges him.  The message that he is healed is delivered by Brother Leroy Kopp.
