-There has been a lot of speculation whether William Branham was a member of a masonic lodge (a Freemason).
+Why was there a Pentagram clearly displayed on the front of the Branham Tabernacle?  What does the Pentagram mean?
-The answer, in our view, is an emphatic "yes" because of the clear Masonic symbol - the Sacred Pentagram - that was displayed openly on the original Branham Tabernacle.
+Was it a symbol of freemasonry?  Was it a symbol designed to ward off witches and evil spirits?
+Most importantly, '''why was the Pentagram on display and not the cross of Christ?'''  What symbolism could be more important than the cross on a church?  What does that say about William Branham and his beliefs?
 We are aware that William Branham stated that he first held meetings in the Masonic Temple in Jeffersonville but that was before the Branham Tabernacle was built and not at the same location.

 The pentagram (also referred to as a pentacle, pentalpha, pentangle or star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes.
