Are there not other qualified ministers in that church.. who has been faithful and of good report ... are they not offered to the church as a choice? What church TELLS THE CONGREGATION who the next pastor is going to be? This was the only point I was trying to raise... and what if Nathan is not qualfied??? WHAT IF..... should the church be handed to him because he's NEXT IN LINE?

What is so interesting in all of this is Have you EVER commented on how William Branhams kids and grandkids are all on the dole back at cult central?

Do Billy Paul, Joseph, etc face the same kind of scrutiny in your economy or is that just something you reserve for Apostolic churches you do NOT belong to?

Sounds like to me you might have someone beside the Holmes and NLR in mind????




BTW It was Bro. Holmes' SECOND revival that he preached in Naw'lins.

This again is where you are mistaken... Billy Paul was forbidden to preach because he was double married... Joseph was left absolutely NO MINISTRY position.. he created one...... the church was left to neither of them but rather an able man in the church who was no kin to Bro. Branham.. thanks for making the point for me

My Bad.... 2nd..... I stand corrected

and actually I have nothing else in mind except all churches in general not NLR nor Pleasant Hill... although I have my personal feelings about churches being handed to people because they are blood.. rather than allowing God through his people to choose whom will lead them.... nevertheless this is my feeling on all church dynasties

Bye the way Elder.... there is a horrible book coming out next year about the real story of the New Orleans situation..... and it is being written by my Father.. I have fought him and pleaded with him and done everything in my power to at least wait a few more years.. but a horrible spirit has gotten a hold of him and he feels he can make some money off of this horrible story.. it is being written as a novel with no names mentioned... but still nontheless it could cause alot of pain

No, read my comment again please. I didnt say he took the church, why bother with THAT when you can STILL be on the dole WHICH THEY ARE.

The kids AND the grandkids. My question stands...why haven't you mentioned this?

READ my response again.. Bro Branham let NONE OF HIS CHILDREN on any kind of payroll nor in any position... can it be any plainer than that? After his death if they chose to take advantage of his name and profit from it then that is on them... but he recognized that his church was not a family dynasty
