Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson Interviews John Collins

June 16, 2025

An interview featuring John Collins, founder of William Branham Historical Research, was announced for release after being recorded several months earlier and held back due to the seriousness of the material discussed.

In the opening remarks, the host described the interview as "shocking" and "staggering," explaining that the recording was not initially aired because the material was not yet ready for public release. The host later stated that the interview was now ready to be shared with viewers.

Collins is known for his research into William Branham, the Message movement, high-control religious systems, and the historical connections between extremist ideology, misogyny, and modern charismatic movements. His work through William Branham Historical Research documents the development of Branhamism and its influence on later religious networks.

The announced interview continues Collins' broader public work examining the religious, historical, and ideological roots of destructive movements. His research frequently addresses how apocalyptic belief systems, authoritarian religious structures, and hate-based teachings can shape communities and public behavior.
