It’s really hard to believe that he obtained his wealth only from his followers. I think there are secret donors behind the financial success. Like amie McPherson who befriended Hollywood type like Charlie Chaplin and Berle. The apostate church is an Zohar creation.
Great video! Just wanted to add for anyone who is interested in Dowie, and if they haven't done so already, to read your excellent book “Militant Christian Extremism: A Critical Examination of John Alexander Dowie”
With Elijah, Elisha, and John the Baptist, why wasn't Dowie the so called Elijah the 4th? Wouldn't the so called Elijah know how many times his spirit came to the earth?
54 Now, when I was in Canada they picked up this fellow that went up there. And said (right in among a bunch of Norwegians), and he said, “The Lord tells me that somebody in here…” a crowd about ten times this size, “somebody by the name of ‘John,’ maybe ‘Johannes,’ ‘Johann.’” Said, “Right along in here, I believe.” He said, “No,” said, “it’s right along in here somewhere”; course they took him out. In a Norwegian country? And everybody had…Ninety percent of them is Petersons, Carlsons, John, Johannes, and, why, certainly. See, he’s certainly…It’s got to get in there somewhere. Then, “The Lord tells me somebody has got back trouble, I feel my back hurting.” Anybody that’s been raised through the Scripture knows that that’s psychology. That’s…Certainly, it is. 55 But, see, what did it do? (Then the man was picked up right there by the—the FBI from here, sent up there and picked him up up there, the Royal Mounted Police.) And the ministerial association come to me, and, “A homosexual,” they say, “why, Brother Branham’s probably the same thing. That’s just the way it runs, see.” What is it doing? To give the trumpet an uncertain sound. See? Just exactly. That’s the way it always is, trying to do things like that to give an uncertain sound, that’s Satan’s business to do that. 56 But, now, don’t never vary from that Word. Remember, I charge you before God: Stay with that Word! Don’t you never vary from It. And if those things rise up amongst the people and things like that, there’s a genuine every time you got a false. There’s a—there’s a bogus dollar, that shows there was a good dollar it was made off of. When you hear some hypocrite speaking in tongues, you can’t say he’s got the Holy Ghost. But, remember, he’s impersonating some genuine article that does have the gift of speaking in tongues. When you see those things that’s false, remember, they were made off of a real one. God is the originator of all good things, but Satan impersonates those gifts. Well, I get on that, we won’t get into our lesson, will we? 57 [Brother Ben Bryant says, “Brother Branham, excuse me just a minute?”—Ed.] Yes, brother. [“Please? I wasn’t here last Sunday, and I had got wind of what you were speaking about a few months ago, and I was really disturbed about it, quite a bit, and I felt to come and tell you about it and tell Brother Neville. But I felt also that you’d know the wife and I made it a matter of prayer. And this morning when I came in the tabernacle, I didn’t know what had taken place, and one of the precious brethren came to me this morning and asked me to forgive him. And I think that was a Christ-like Spirit.”] Amen. [“And I think it’s very commendable of the brother.”] Yes, sir. [“He asked me to forgive him, ’cause he was trying to…he was—he was trying to bring the doctrine to me.”] Yeah. [“And I would not accept it. And he asked me to forgive him this morning, and I did forgive him in the Name of Jesus.”] 58 Amen. Thank you, Brother Ben Bryant. Now, that’s—that’s exactly…I’m glad you said that, Brother Ben. You see, because that those men has been around everywhere making restitutions. Now, that’s real Christianity. That’s Christianity at work. When you’re wrong, go up and admit you’re wrong. See? Stand up and say, “I’m wrong, see, forgive me.” 59 Now, a guy that tries to hide it back, then he’s got something he’s covering. No, sir, I like…Like a little doctor here that…See, can’t…He…I won’t tell it on him, but, anyhow, he had a little something he wanted to do, you know. And I said, “Oh, no, Doc, you can’t bribe God.” I said, “You have to lay it right out here on top the board.” That’s right, let it go right down like that. Of course, the man was perfectly innocent of trying to do anything wrong. He just—he just thought it would be a good way that he could get a piece of ground. And wasn’t trying to do it evil, he was trying to do it right. But he just wanted to…He said, “I…” He knowed some way that he could go around, get somebody to do a certain thing that would cause this fellow to be influenced over here. You don’t do it that way. You just come right straight out. See? Stay right with the Word, and then you got it. Stay right with the Word! God blessed him and done a great thing for him. Yes, sir. 61-0618 – Revelation, Chapter Five Part II Rev. William Marrion Branham
Religion is also profitable
Faith healer – Fake healer

Dowie is a name that's been conveniently forgotten in the UPCI circles I grew up with
Yikes. Religion swaying politics, like the NAR agenda in Washington. Scary.

Yes, I'm sure Dowie talked about WMB by name! All these crazy claims WMB made are so ridiculous.
With Elijah, Elisha, and John the Baptist, why wasn't Dowie the so called Elijah the 4th? Wouldn't the so called Elijah know how many times his spirit came to the earth?
