NIFB Pastor Steven Anderson Describes Spending 24 Hours in The Psych Ward ‘Like listening to Charles Manson all night’
NIFB pastor Steven Anderson, who was recently involuntarily committed to a mental institution for 24 hours, has shared details of the incident, calling it “horrific” and straight “evil.”
The controversial Arizona pastor from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, AZ, has been under fire these past few weeks after his four oldest children started speaking out publicly against the firebrand KJV-Onlyist, alleging vicious instances of domestic abuse against their mother, as well as physical and psychological abuse against themselves and their siblings, as can be seen in the articles below.

During his Sunday sermon, Anderson shared what the experience was like:
On Tuesday morning I was just sitting in my room, minding my own business…and the police came and took me to a mental institution against my will and checked me in there. The cops, when they picked me up at my house, they acted like I was just going to go see a doctor and then everything was going to be fine. But no, no, I get there and they checked me into a mental institution for 72 hours, but I was told that I would see a doctor every 24 hours that could potentially discharge me and I did end up getting out of there in a little less than 24 hours. The place was horrific. It was straight evil.
Anderson explains that he was institutionalized because “that effeminate piece of crap, Lionel Kairos, decided to fill out some document and lie and commit felony perjury. “H says he spent most of his time in a room that was “approximately 50 feet by 60 feet…And I counted 50 lunatics that I was in there with. So I was in one room with 50 crazy people and one normal guy, and 10 or maybe 8 or 10 staff members at any given time.”
It was not a pleasant time.
But this (one) woman would go from just cheerfully walking around, you know, doing all this stuff and whatever. And then she would just go into these rants that would just go on for hours, literally hours. And I mean, it doesn’t matter if it’s two in the morning, four in the morning, just any time of day, she’d just go into just these insane rants, and I can’t really even impersonate it, because like I can’t even talk that fast, because these crazy people, they talk just like a machine gun, just nonstop for hours and hours, and then they just like pass out.
But then as soon as they pass out, like someone else takes a shift. So there’s no rest day or night, because as soon as one person conks out, and she’s just like asleep, then some other woman is doing the exact same, acting the same way. So I don’t know if it’s just like the same demon just keeps switching bodies, just playing musical lunatics, or else if it’s just all these people have the same drug, they all took the same drug or they have the same problem or something. But I’m telling you, they would just go until they wore themselves out and then they would just pass out.
Anderson says that he could not sleep, and describes one harrowing incident:
I’m just up all night and I’m sitting in a chair and there’s a guy sitting four feet from me. And I couldn’t move because all the chairs are occupied. So it’s like, that’s my chair. And this guy, I kid you not, the entire night, all night long, is just cackling in my ear and just saying just insane things, perverted things, blasphemous things.
Just imagine, you’re just listening to Charles Manson all night. Just if you wanna know what this is like, go in a room, turn all the lights on, and put on headphones of Charles Manson interviews, and just turn them up, and just lay there, and just do that for a while. And I’m just listening, just, ha ha ha, bap bap bap bap, ha ha ha ha, spending the night with Legion talking to me all night.
I’m sorry, it’s torture. It is torture to have an insane person talking in your ear all night. You’re trying to sleep you’re exhausted and you just have a literal crazy person talking in your ear the whole night.
Anderson says that after the initial 12 hours, the doctor evaluated him and declared him sane, but that it took another 12 hours before he was finally released.
