William Branham and the Tape Boys
Leo Mercer and Gene Goad were familiar faces in the later years of William Branham’s revival tours. After the Assemblies of God began pressuring evangelists and churches to separate from Branham over the Latter Rain controversy, and familiar faces such as Gordon Lindsay, F. F. Bosworth, and others began to distance themselves, new faces were seen working with Branham. Those new faces included Leo Mercier, and Gene Goad. According to close associates of William Branham such as Lee Vayle, the two men were homosexual and Branham’s inner circle was fully aware.
The first time William Branham mentioned the two men was in June of 1955 in a revival held in Macon, Georgia, during the time in which Branham was reorganizing his campaign team under the support of Joseph Mattsson-Boze of the Philadelphia Church in Chicago. Boze, who sided with Branham during the scrutiny over Branham’s heretical doctrine, had just connected Branham with Jim Jones of Peoples Temple the month before, and Jones was soon to begin hosting Branham campaigns in multiple states.
In June of 1956 at a joint revival with Jim Jones at the Cadle Tabernacle in Indianapolis, Branham first began calling the two homosexual men his “tape boys” — a name that would become loaded language for Branham’s “Message” cult of personality. The “Message” cult uses the term “tape boys” to describe those who dedicate themselves to listening to recordings of William Branham and use the term on marketing material, products sold in online stores, clothing, and more.
