	:Part of William Branham’s 1933 prophecy was that FDR would pick on the Germans, lead the world to war, and run for four terms. While Roosevelt was inaugurated four times, he did not pick on the Germans and followed the world to war after provocation by the Japanese. William Branham called Franklin D. Roosevelt a “rascal” in 1960, which indicates that he just did not like him.		:Part of William Branham’s 1933 prophecy was that FDR would pick on the Germans, lead the world to war, and run for four terms.

	:Many followers of William Branham's message point to the voice that was heard on the Ohio River as proof that William Branham was to forerun the second coming of Christ just as John the Baptist foreran Christ's first coming. However, when closely examined there are a number of problems with this story, including the fact that the first accounts make no reference of a voice. After a great deal of research, we are now of the view that William Branham's story of the baptismal service changed over time to include a voice when, in fact, no one that was there actually heard it.		:Many followers of William Branham's message point to the voice that was heard on the Ohio River as proof that William Branham was to forerun the second coming of Christ just as John the Baptist foreran Christ's first coming.

	Was William Branham honest? If he can be shown to have distorted the truth or if his stories are constantly changing over time such that he cannot be believed, this would cast doubt on virtually everything that he said. The following list contains issues that will raise questions regarding his honesty, [[~~Integrity\|~~integrity]] and truthfulness. Some of these concerns have only recently come to light but they are now sufficient in number to raise genuine concern on the part of anyone who is a follower of William Branham.

	Many followers of William Branham are prepared to excuse the lack of credibility by pointing to Biblical characters such as David (who committed adultery with Bathsheba) or Jacob (who lied to obtain the birthright). The problem is that the New Testament does not allow for such latitude in morality.
