||'''[[Leo Mercer]]''' was one of two men in charge of recording William Branham's sermons '''(one of two 'tape boys')'''. He went on the lead "The Park", which was a gathering of Message Believers in Prescott Arizona.  He was accused of homosexuality by Lee Vayle, '''and accused of molesting and abusing children at The Park''' in testimony given in the Supreme Court of California.  

||The infamous '''[[Jim Jones]]''' was responsible for the deaths of 909 men, women and children in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978.  Jim Jones preached a series of meetings with William Branham in 1956, and seems to have picked up on William Branham's phraseology relating to "[[The Message]]"  (refer to the transcript of the handwritten note below).  He was known as "Brother Jones" on the tapes, which have a number of "blank spots".  His '''mass murder-suicide in 1978''' could have also been the result of paranoia when his group of followers were not raptured in 1977.
