===Reasons for leaving===

When William Branham died on December 24, 1965, he was for the most part revered by the Pentecostal movement as a man who had a supernatural healing ministry.  He was also seen as having wandered into false doctrine and strange teachings.  Because of his teachings about his own ministry, at the time of his death he had a small but fanatic group of followers who believed him to be [[William Branham's View of Himself|the last prophet of the last age]].

But with the development of the internet and computer search technology, it became possible to research whether:

#William Branham's stories were consistent, factual and true;
#Any of William Branham's visions failed to come to pass;
#His prophecies had been fulfilled; and
#His teachings were biblical.

The results of this research are available on this and other websites.

It has led to thousands of people coming to understand that William Branham was not who he said he was.  This finally results in them leaving the message.
