Join Bryan and Rod as they discuss the many astounding things that Sylvia had the opportunity of seeing and why Sylvia ultimately had to leave the message. We know you will be as surprised as we were at the many revelations and insights into the life and ministry of William Branham.
Sylvia Perkins was at the opening of the cornerstone of Branham Tabernacle after it was struck by a car and saw what it contained. She even had an interview with William Branham and he told her she was a prophetess.
Sylvia Perkins attended Branham Tabernacle as a child. She was in a myriad of William Branham’s services and even watched TV with Joseph Branham, the youngest of the Branham children. She was at the funeral of William Branham and attended Lee Vayle’s church for 18 years following the William Branham’s death.

William Branham clearly taught that the doctrine of the Trinity, a doctrine that has been held by the church for most of the past 2,000 years, was satanic. He stated it was of the devil and that people that believed it were lost.
William Branham stated on several occasions that he had visited the graves of Muhammad, Buddha, and Confucius. But did he? We looked at the issue to determine whether William Branham actually visited these famous graves.
I think you will be surprised at what we found.
William Branham stated on numerous occasions that he had traveled around the world seven times. We had a question from a listener asking if we had ever checked whether this was the case. So we did some research to determine whether William Branham actually went around the world seven times. I think you will be … Continue reading "Episode 26 – Did William Branham travel around the world seven times?"

Frank Boreham had a seven-lettered last name just like William Branham. Was that significant? Why didn't William Branham know about him? Find out why this is important.
As a result of a number of scriptures which we present, we find it strange that message ministers refuse to address our questions. So we again extend an invitation to any reputable minister to come on our podcast and try to answer some of our questions.
Do we have any takers
We have been unable to find a single occurrence where we have a clear prophecy recorded on tape that was later clearly fulfilled. This is a test for anyone that is a follower of the message of William Branham. Did William Branham make any REAL "before the fact" prophecies in any of his tapes?
What do you get when you add William Branham to Jesus? Is it the Gospel that Paul preached? Or is it something different? William Branham stated that "the Word in the days of the apostles does not work in this day." Is that what Paul preached?
One of our listeners informed us of a recent comment made by the pastor of a message church in Beaufort, South Carolina. This pastor labeled those who dared challenge William Branham as "ding dongs". But was it the case that no one dared challenge William Braham when he was alive? Find out what actually happened to those who challenged William Branham.
In this podcast, we look at William Branham's condemnation of men wearing shorts and his apparent hypocrisy in wearing shorts himself.
