Virtuous Woman

Sexism & The Cult

In the unfiled Statement of Claim that WOLT served me with on February 14, 2025, they (WOLT) claimed defamation. One of the statements I made that they (WOLT) claim is false is that they (WOLT) are sexist.

The definition of sexism is:

: prejudice or discrimination based on gender

especially discrimination against women

and

: behaviour, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on gender

• Disclaimer: WOLT follows, preaches and teaches ‘The Message’ of William Marrion Branham, a man they believe to be The 20th Century Prophet.

If memory serves me correctly, it was the Friday evening of January 30, 2009, when Elder Eric’s and Elder E’s wives held a meeting in the cult fellowship hall for all girls and women 14+.

It had been four years since the leader’s wife passed away, and according to the leadership, many of the women had begun to “slip” when it came to the rules, aka “way of life,” we were required to follow.

His wife set the example for the women; we turned to her. Other ‘message churches' despised her for pushing the boundaries regarding a virtuous woman's fashion, conduct, and attributes.

Yes, the women of the cult I am from, WOLT, were known for bending William Branham's rules, which was frowned upon. The pastor’s wife called the women's attire from other ‘Message Churches’ frumpy.

After four years without her, Elder Eric and E’s wives took on the responsibility of being the cult's women's examples. You can imagine what that meant for me once I moved in with Elder Eric and his wife the following year, in 2010. Still, I want to elaborate on the ‘Virtuous Woman’s Evening’ and quotes from the prophet William Branham to support these rules.

Each young girl and woman received a booklet titled, ‘FOLLOW ME - Who Can Find A Virtuous Woman for Her Price is Far Above Rubies.’ Within it, twelve categories:

• FEMININITY

• CONDUCT

• CLOTHING

• FINGERNAILS

• HAIR

• JEWELRY

• MAKEUP

• LADIES FOOTWEAR

• BIRTH CONTROL

• WHAT’S INSIDE, SHOWS UP OUTSIDE

• RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE HOME

• A VIRTUOUS WOMAN

Each category was supported by quotes from the prophet William Branham. After each quote was read, Elder Eric and E’s wives would show us examples taken from their closets.

Over the following few blogs, I will delve into the categories from the booklet and prove that the cult is, in fact, sexist.

Side note: William Branham only had a grade seven education, hence the unsatisfactory grammar. His lack of education was also the impetus for the mantra, “Education is of the devil.” The less educated we were, the more God could work through his chosen people.

THE FIRST CATEGORY:

• Femininity

It’s hard to find a girl with enough modesty to blush. They’ve heard so many dirty jokes and filth, and why, you couldn’t say nothing to make them blush. When a few years ago, no more than when I was a boy, a little thing wrong, their face would color up, a little thing pass by, and another little girl’s underneath skirt was showing in school, and I was standing, talk, and when she looked over and seen this little girl’s underneath skirt showing, her little face turned red, and she walked away from me, a sixteen year old girl. Why, that’s the God-given quality to safeguard our morals. - William Branham: Falling Apart Of The World* 1962

And then God took a side piece of him, a rib, and made a woman. Now, where did he get the spirit, woman? See? In Genesis 1:26, He said, “Let us make man in our own image, after our own likeness, created HE them man, male and female.” He made the burly spirit for the man; He made the tender, little, delicate, feminist spirit for the woman.

And when you see a woman acting like a man, she’s got out of her place (You see?) in the beginning. See? All right. I think it’s a shame that women has lost their dainty, feminist place. It’s a disgrace. I tell you it is.

You know, I’m going to say this. Now, I’m not talking about you women here. But ‘course if it hurts, it just does. But look; let me ask you something. It used to be that women was so feminist till men would go to talking to them and they’d blush. Huh. What is blushing anyhow? I haven’t seen it in so long I wouldn’t even know what it was if some woman blushed. They haven’t got any of that dignity anymore, all that there fine feminish spirit. - William Branham: Questions And Answers On Genesis* 1953

“Tender, little and delicate.” What he meant to say was controllable, naive, and without opinion. He categorized the woman as, “The Weaker Sex,” and we were unable to live a good, godly life without the leadership of a man due to the fact we had the inability to make right decisions. Eve was the reason for sin in the Garden of Eden. William Branham taught that Eve didn’t eat an apple; she fucked the Serpent. According to William Branham, the serpent was handsome, while Adam (a son of god) was rugged and hard on the eyes. After fucking The Serpent, Eve became pregnant with his ‘seed,’ which was Cain, and when she returned to Adam, she was excited to show and engage in sex with him and henceforth became pregnant with Able. Yes, Cain and Able are twins.

And you wonder why there were so many rules regarding sex and why the responsibility of modesty and the comfort of men fell onto us women; A bunch of fucking white men who couldn't get laid needed to create religion to get a chance.

“The sexual needs of your partner are not to be denied.” is a wedding vow said by all cult women to their husbands and not vice versa.

It’s far easier to believe that Unicorns exist than all of this fucking bullshit. Alas, I was brainwashed and believed it for twenty-six fucking years.

THE SECOND CATEGORY

• CONDUCT

CONVERSATION

Therefore, we should never speak anything but what we believe and understand and let it be pure, undefiled, and holy. And let our conversation be clean and pure, our thoughts thinking the best things, thinking God’s thoughts, staying upon God’s program, and away from the things of the world. - William Branham: We Would See Jesus *1962

The Bible said not let one dirty conversation come among you when you profess holiness. - William Branham: Questions and Answers *1964

But I was told that I was created in God’s image and that God knew my every thought, backwards and forwards. So if I thought a dirty thought, he placed it there, right? He’s at fault!!

There was a time when I said, “Brainfart,” while in the cult, and would you know it, I was reprimanded for it. It was not a word that was becoming of a godly woman.

B•R•A•I•N•F•A•R•T

Imagine the cult’s horror, with “fuck” being my favourite adjective and verb these days; they would say I am the daughter of Satan himself. Luckily for god, I am a good girl and call out his name most nights with great passion. 😏 He’s proud of me, I fucking know it!

The hatred for women was visibly wrapped in the camouflage of ‘The will of god.’

The virtue of us women came at the expense of our autonomy and the poison of abuse at the hands of godly men. The unfortunate part was that the lack of education and our naivety about our human rights allowed us to believe that the poison we received was nutritious and nurturing.

Being a ‘virtuous woman’ is no high praise. It is akin to a woman who is abused, manipulated, controlled and used.

But, hey, the cult definitely isn't sexist, right?

In my next blog, I will discuss the categories of clothing and fingernails.
