Washing Machines and Dishwashers

Though many of the statements differ between versions of his stage persona, William Branham claimed that he only spoke the words that God told him to speak.  In some instances, Branham told the people that he was "God's Voice to [them]", and claimed even to have said that under inspiration.  

This "god" speaking, however, was misogynistic and insulting — especially to women.  According to Branham's "god", washing machines and dishwashers made women into "busybody idlers" with "nothing to do".  As a result, Branham claimed, women engaged in the activities Branham's stage persona felt were sinful.

Now listen, this is my afternoon to be with the Lord here in the--in the services. I just say what He tells me to say. But it's a sad day, when they created wash machines and dishwashers and everything, they give the women all this time to lay around barrooms and things, and drink, and smoke cigarettes, and run out over the country. That's right. Come busybody, idlers, plenty of time, nothing to do. It'd be better if you had the scrub brush and back in the wash with these kind of wash machines, the way my mother used to do it. That's right.
