||'''[[The Message Dress Code]]'''. People that follow William Branham's message can be recognized by the way that their women dress - long dresses and long hair. Additionally men are not permitted to wear shorts (even though William Branham did). This is because William Branham taught a "clothes line" religion.

||'''[[Reading between the lines]]'''. William Branham believed that in order to understand the Bible you had to read between the lines. The problem is that this leads to extra-biblical (i.e. non-biblical) revelation.

||'''[[Grounds for Divorce in the Message]]'''.  William Branham was of the view that the following were grounds for a man to divorce his wife: If she cuts her hair; if she dresses in a manner that the husband doesn't like; and if he simply decides he wants to divorce his wife. Then, he can get remarried...but she can't. Is this scriptural?

||'''[[The King James Version of the Bible]]'''.  It is widely believed within the message, that the King James Version of the Bible is the only true “Word of God”. But William Branham never taught this, so why is it such a widely and fervently held belief?

||'''[[Reason and the Message]]'''.  Message Believers have told us that Elijah's vindication on Mt. Carmel, and the very existence of Jesus, are two examples of things that are true, but that simply cannot be proved. Therefore, nothing about William Branham's life can be un-proven. Is this true?  Why must reason be absent in order to believe the Message?
