Pointing out lies, inconsistencies, and false teaching is not spiritually dangerous.  And we are not mockingMocking would imply that William Branham is deserving of a great deal of respect which we don't think is correct.   
Pointing out lies, inconsistencies, and false teaching is not spiritually dangerous.  Remaining quiet is spiritually dangerous.  Perhaps not for you, but for othersIt comes down to knowing the truth, and speaking for the love of others.   


The Bible says:
The Bible says:
Line 14: Line 12:
:''But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea.  Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom they come.<ref>Biblical Studies Press, The NET Bible First Edition; Bible. English.

We have sat for many years in a church that taught the message.  As a result, we have a fair amount of frustration about the lies we were told, and how the teaching of William Branham are used by ministers to place people in fear, take their faith off the finished work of Christ and onto works, and control their behavior. The message has been a stumbling block for many.

There is also legitimate frustration at the physical abuse that has been hid by the message, and by the spiritual abuse that has resulted in many people leaving the Message for Atheism.  Why would William Branham or any message minister deserve any respect or reverence, when they have acted in ways to intentionally deceive members of their assemblies?

We are not mocking.  We are simply being direct and concise about how William Branham lied.  We are simply being honest, and there is a certain amount of of danger in being honest.  That is why Jesus said his followers would be persecuted.
