Games that message people play
Some message believers will go to any length to prove the message is true, including fudging the facts a bit.
The Hall of Religious Art in Washington, D.C.
William Branham stated that a copy of the Houston photograph was in Washington, D.C.:
- And one of them is in Washington, DC, in the religious Hall of Art, with a note under it, "The only supernatural being was ever photographed in the history of the world." And now, then, if you're ever through there, drop in, see it.[1]
The following picture has been used on the internet to "prove" William Branham's comment is true:
The problem
The problem with William Branham's statement is that there is no Hall of Religious Art in Washington, D.C. There is a copy of the picture that someone sent to the U.S. Library of Congress for preservation. But the photo does not hang on the wall and there is no caption underneath it. Rather, it sits in a filing cabinet. We have personally been to the Library of Congress and have seen the photo in the file folder. It was never hanging on the wall but remains in a filing cabinet.[2]
