KKK Kludd Involved With William Branham's Sect

Special thanks to our researchers, who have just linked William Branham directly to the Ku Klux Klan during his early ministry.  Branham was without question hosting a revival with the Imperial Kludd of the 1915 KKK.  Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, the Klan's Imperial Kludd[1] (the highest-ranking religious chaplain of the white supremacy group) was involved with the early formation of the Pentecostal Baptist Church of God sect.

The date of the article, July 6, 1929, ties William Branham to the white supremacy group.  According to the timeline given by William Branham, the Imperial Kludd's revival meeting came after Branham was converted into Roy E. Davis' Pentecostal sect.  In 1959, Branham noted that he was converted into Roy E. Davis' Pentecostal sect "thirty-one years ago", or 1928.

Ministry of healing is to pray for the sick. All churches pray for the sick. I have never drawed a denominational line, any barrier. I was ordained in the Missionary Baptist church by Dr. Roy E. Davis. But I do not hold any denominational barriers. I believe that Christ died for all His children, and I pray for all His children everywhere. God is never questioned to me by, 'If this person's a Baptist, he may be healed.' If you've got faith, you may be healed. I do not believe that healing is anything that a minister could do to you, only explain to you what Christ has already done for you. I do not believe that I was saved thirty-one years ago. I believe I was saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus died for my sins. I accepted it thirty-one years ago.[2]

William Branham mentioned this revival in his sermons, though he (allegedly) could not recall the location.  When Branham described the revival with Roy Davis, he mentioned the art gallery located in the Nashville Parthenon.[3]  The article lists the address of the Pentecostal Baptist Church located at Spring and Meridian in Nashville, Tennessee, which is only a short distance from the Parthenon.

I was with Brother Davis and was having a—a revival. It might have been Memphis. And we was, went to a coliseum, and they had in there, not a coliseum, it was kind of an art gallery, and they had the—the great statues that they had got from different parts of the earth, of different, Hercules and so forth, and great artists had painted. And then they had the analysis of a man that weighed a hundred and fifty pounds. You know what, how much he's worth? Eighty-four cents. That's all he is. Eighty-four cents is all—all the chemicals you can get out of him. He's just got enough whitewash to sprinkle a hen's nest, and he's got enough, just a little bit of calcium, little potash. It would all sell for eighty-four cents. But we just take care of that eighty-four cents and baby it around.[4]

Dr. Caleb Ridley was also a guest speaker [5]

Caleb Ridley also appears to have been involved with Roy Davis and William D. Upshaw in California during the Ussher-Davis Orphanage scam that funded Davis' Original Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
