Thought I might be able to shed some light upon the "Branhamite" question, though that might have been done elsewhere already. A bit about my history:
I grew up in a Branham church. I left it after having some serious unanswered questions at about 20 years old. I was told I didn't have the "revelation" to understand, and was soundly berated by the pastor of said church. I still have family who are a part of the church. I am now a Christ follower.
Quite simply, they are a loosely affiliated cult. There are many doctrinal and serious theological errors within the Message churches, which is what they like to call themselves. Not Branhamites. I'll enumerate just a few here:
William Marian Branham is their prophet for this church age. They believe that he is the fulfillment of
Malachi 4. (Not John the baptist. Apparently he left some work undone.)
In Rev, where it talks about the 7 church ages, they believe that each time period in history is a church age (don't remember all of them off my head...but) from Laodicea... Luther, Wesley, Branham. Martin Luther was the "prophet" for the Luthern church age, John Wesley for the Wesleyan church age, and Branham for this "church age" until branham himself comes back to Earth at Jesus's second coming of Christ.
They believe in Serpent's Seed doctrine, that Eve had sex with a serpent and produced Cain.
They reject the trinity, and oneness. I'm still not entirely sure where they stand on the Godhead; it's one of those questions I posed to my pastor at the time and was rebuked for.
They believe the RCC is EVIL! The Whore talked about in Rev. is the RCC.
They believe that WMB's healing ministry vindicates him as a true prophet of God. There are some pretty serious doubts about his "healings".
There are about 1100 sermons. You can, as one poster stated, find the text of these online, and probably the audio as well.
The church I grew up in was very open compared to other churches within the Message. I have visited other message churches while growing up, including the one in Jeffersonville, Lee Vayle's in Ohio, one in S. Carolina, one in Mississippi, a couple in Michigan. The dress code is not as strict for one. And though I hear a lot of other churches in the message are very degrading to women, the one I grew up in was not as. I say not as, because the whole of the WMB message is pretty degrading to women in general, and yes, some of that rubs off. The men didn't treat the women poorly,
as a rule. But there were definite gender roles and woman's place was not one of Godly submission, but that of total submission to the husband. I also didn't like quotes coming from a supposed "Prophet" that said the following:
This was my remark then, "They're not worth a good clean bullet to kill them with it." That's right. And I hated women. That's right. And I just have to watch every move now, to keep from still thinking the same thing.

Anyway, I'm open to any questions or comments you might have regarding the Message.
