The Sarah Branham Investigation Part 1 - A Cry For Help
- 3 years ago
Before her disappearance, Sarah Branham sent private communications to reach Gerald Lee Walker. A group of trusted "Message" cult members, also through private communications, organized themselves and connected Sarah to Walker when they heard Sarah's desperate plea for help. Walker was the legal expert hired by Sarah Branham when she initiated the process to sue, and the intent to sue was sent to named parties William Branham Evangelistic Association, Voice of God Recordings, The Branham Tabernacle, The Tucson Tabernacle, Believers International, Roy E. Roberson, Paul Brewer, Angela Smith, Billy Paul Branham, Joseph Branham, Willard Collins, Pearry Green, George E. Smith, Fred Sothmann, Floyd Patterson, and Stephen Smith.[1] Gerald Lee Walker was the son of evangelist Orland Walker from Oregon, the man William Branham named[2] when he began describing his "Ride This Trail Again"[3] world tour that ultimately resulted in the Failed Israel Prophecy[4] that Branham was to fulfill before he died.[5]
The legal documents they uncovered appear to confirm Sarah's suspicions and named several other elite members of Branham's "Message" cult. Submitted evidence, corporate documents, and related supporting evidence named Valerie Branham, Roger Rudin, Kenneth Hagin Ministries, Kenneth Hagin, Osborn Foundation International, T. L. Osborn, Loyce Branham, David Branham, Michelle Branham, Lisa Branham, William Paul Branham, Jr., Naomi Collins, Billy Collins, Betty Collins Phillips, Wayne Evans, Rebekah Branham Smith, Armon Neville, Raymond (Junior) Jackson, Ron Con Goo, Larry Ervin, Charles Rinkle and others. Some of those involved have been criminally convicted with prison time. Those legal documents were also copied and distributed among elite members of the "Message" cult.
Before Sarah's disappearance and Walker's death, the two collaborated on an investigation into the business operations and flow of money that were concealed by cult leaders from their converts. Their findings were documented and sent certified mail to the parties named in Walker's Intent to Sue, with 93 exhibits submitted as evidence. Some of those parties named shared the documents with other cult leaders, and news quickly spread among the elite members of William Branham's "Message" cult. The allegations raised by Sarah Branham and Gerald Lee Walker ranged from civil to criminal, causing some of those parties with the information to sever their congregations from the main sect of the "Message" cult to form sub-sects. Some of those sects distanced themselves from the other elites, others from William Branham himself, and still others from Branham's destructive cult theology.
This is the story of Sarah Branham after she discovered this very disturbing information which ultimately led to her disappearance.
