But he has to resurrect alot of folks he gave jobs to cause most of them are dead. Wacko yes. But I heard statement after statement made form the pulpit of the Tabernacle talking about his return.

There is a group of his followers in Tucson that teach his is coming back and it will be in Tucson that he shows himself.
At two seperate funerals in two different Branhamite churches they are talking so kindly of their dearly departed and they mention Jesus Christ maybe 7 or 8 times and then they talk about William Branham about 70 or 80 times. Now tell me who do they sound like to you that they are following? Jesus or Branham?
Personally mr vaughn I believe you have believed a lie. Now take that or leave it but that is my opinion. Accuse me of anything you want I don't care. Baptize in Jesus name all you want, speak in tongues all you want, repent all you want but as long as you follow this way of thinking and giving such high praise to a man that I don't even give to Paul, Peter, John, or any of the rest, then you are walking down a wrong road. I didn't know Branham, my father did though, he is gone now so I can not ask him anything to verify what he knew. I can tell you this, he warned very sternly that we should stay away from that crowd even back while Branham was still alive. My father left everything and walked away from his family but I know even in the end he still believed the true message of Jesus Christ and Christ crucified. He still warned against listening to those that teach falsehoods. I do not need my fathers warnings to stay away all I needed was reading some of the Branham believers writings on their web sites and church sites to know that I want nothing to do with all they have to say.
Branham was never the healer, Jesus was, Branham was never the one his followers should have looked to, Jesus was. When they stopped following Jesus and started following Branham they crossed a line. Branham may not have intended it but it seems from just reading what his followers say and what others I have spoken with say that he knew what was going on and he allowed it. That would make him a teacher with itching ears and that is something the Bible warns against.
These are my humble opinions, not meant to be mean, hurtful, or otherwise antagonistic.
