Faithful Word Baptist Church pastor Steven Anderson has come out swinging against his children, his brother, and the rest of his enemies during a wild sermon, detailing that he’s been psychologically abused for years and is to the point that he’s going to quit pastoring if his four eldest children don’t publicly repent for lies said against him. Asking to be publicly vindicated, he can also be seen demanding that God strike them down and destroy his “wicked, evil brats” as an alternative.
Anderson is the firebrand KJV-Onlyist from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, AZ. He’s known for his rigorous Independent Fundamentalist Baptist theology, hatred of Calvinism, the infamous “pisseth on a wall” clip, and open glee at the thought of homosexuals being killed; at one point, he had the dubious distinction of being banned from 34 countries, including every English-speaking developed country.
You don’t get to say things like, “If I had a button right here on this pulpit, I could just push this button and every fag would just fall over dead. I would push it until it breaks,” without raising a few eyebrows.
Over the last four years,m his four oldest children have spoken out against him, recently participating in a documentary about allegations of physical, psychological, and spiritual abuse against them and their mom, detailing a home life so troubling that a third of his congregants left the church over it.
We documented this in our stories NIFB pastor Steven Anderson’s son Isaac detailing vicious abuse and beating at the hands of his father, and then his other son John alleging years of abuse by his father against his mom, claiming he used to hit her and whip her with an electrical cord, a third Anderson child has come forward, with Miriam Anderson, 17, claiming that her home life was so bad, that “from the time that I was probably like 11 to 15, I thought about killing myself every day. And I remember even as a little kid praying that God would kill me.”
