'''[[Jim Jones]]''' | |||
:Why did we only learn that William Branham preached with Jim Jones after we left the Message? Jim Jones also had a gift of 'discerning the hearts', but ended up committing mass murder/suicide in 1978. We speculate this happened after he realized that he hadn't made the rapture in 1977. | |||
We have also learned of many sad stories of physical, sexual and mental abuse by Ministers and others in the Message. One thing we have learned is that the Message may look clean from the outside, but it has a dirty core and bad fruit. Ern Baxter said this about William Branham's ministry years ago: | |||
:''I think there can be a lesson in this. Branham, as a miracle worker, had a real place. Branham as a teacher was outside of his calling. The fruits of his teaching ministry are not good.'' | |||
