Cognitive dissonance is something that was first written about by Dr. Leon Festinger. The implications for those that follow William Branham is that they are becoming more fervent in their beliefs and behave more like a cult as a direct result of the work of this website and others like it. | Cognitive dissonance is something that was first written about by Dr. Leon Festinger.

Because of the mass of evidence that has been produced by [[List of Issues with the Message|this website]] and [[Research Sources for William Branham and His Message|others like it]], cognitive dissonance will cause an increase in fervency of message believers. This will result in the message becoming more cult-like. Those in the message who are Christians will start to leave the message which, in turn, will cause the message to become even more cultish. This prediction was made on December 10, 2012. Please note that this is a prediction and not a prophecy. | |||
