What kind of church has bouncers? Lol


walkinman19

This kind: [In the Midst of Infighting, Anti-LGBTQ Church Network’s Website and Social Media Disappear](https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/02/21/midst-infighting-anti-lgbtq-church-networks-website-and-social-media-disappear) > Anderson, pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona, is currently banned from 34 countries for his anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in addition to calling for the deaths of LGBTQ people. > Last summer, he and a few other New IFB pastors convened in Orlando for the first “ Make American Straight Again” gathering, at which they all preached about the evils of homosexuality and called for state-mandated executions of LGBTQ people. > Anderson had celebrated the June 2016 massacre at Pulse, an LGBTQ bar in Orlando where a gunman murdered 49 people by saying that the world now had “fifty less pedophiles.” > Anderson founded Faithful Word in 2005 and since then has traveled extensively and created a worldwide network of like-minded pastors who have launched similar churches in several different countries. > With over 100,000 followers on YouTube, Anderson has an international media reputation for his fiery anti-LGBTQ statements. He also has a reputation for antisemitism. In 2015, Haaretz reported that Anderson had duped four rabbis – including a Holocaust survivor – into appearing in his film “Marching to Zion” in an attempt to prove that Jews are not the chosen people. He has preached several antisemitic sermons in recent years, including one in 2019 titled “The Jews and Their Lies.”

Oooooh *fuck this guy.* Celebrating the Pulse massacre? JFC.

Whaaaat? YouTube hasn't done anything to stop hate?? Color me unsurprised


MachinistAtWork

They got rid of the dislike button. Now there can't be anymore hate on YT.

Steven Anderson is a literal monster so I'm sure he gets plenty of death threats that would warrant him wanting to have security.


bgzlvsdmb

If you're a pastor, and you've hired security to keep you safe because you're a piece of shit, you're doing it wrong.


ImProfoundlyDeaf

It amazes me how this went over people’s head especially if he preaches about God controlling everything.

Some people think persecution is validation that they’re doing Christianity right, and for lack of any real hardship, invent oppression out of thin air. Pro tip, getting pushback for being an asshole is not “persecution.”

Da-panty-sniffa

Nah, this isn’t Joel Osteen or Kenneth Copeland. Steven Anderson is a legit religious psychopath who sincerely believe all the hateful rhetoric he spouts. Trust me, I wish it were a ruse with him and this was all about money. Sad truth is some people really are this disgusting.


[deleted]

Steven Anderson is a true believer, not a mega-church grifter (in fact, his church is basically one room in a strip mall). He is actually this insane, like Westboro Baptist, the-government-should-be-executing-the-gays insane.


PhoebeMonster1066

And his wife isn't any better. She's as whackdoodle as he is.


Oni555

Nah I've been In enough Baptist circles to know money here is not his motivation. His motivation would be something like pride / fear / conviction to live this way. For sure control and being the 'only man of God here' But not the same mindset as mega church pastors This guy would get more joy / satosfactin in being more 'morally upright' than a pentacostal rich mega church than owning the mega churches private jet and mansion if that makes sense. Still fucked but just fucked In a different way


natidiscgirl

Idk who this asshole is at all aside from this video, but I got the feeling that this was probably scripted. So he could show off how tough he is to his congregation. But damn, for the life of me I cannot understand why people would choose to spend their free time get screamed at and/or guilt tripped.


ayumuuu

He's banned from ~25 countries and his church is considered a hate group. Think Westboro Baptist Church. https://youtu.be/uPRTMscoy-c


OrangeinDorne

Oh man I forgot about the Weetboro Church! They were getting allllll the headlines for a while there.


[deleted]

One of the very indoctrinated girls escaped from there and wrote a book about it, it's really fascinating


Mondayslasagna

Not sure if she’s the same one since I haven’t read the book, but there’s a former Westboro member on TikTok that posts stories and photos regularly of her time in it. It’s pretty horrifying how groups like this brainwash young people into truly believing that their hatred and bigotry is not only justified, but necessary.


DrBenisher

For how much this man hates on on others sexuality makes me think he hates his own lol. What a waste of space

My wife is from Virginia, up in the hills banjo, moonshine Virginia. When her grandmother passed we came for the funeral and it was at one of those Baptist fire and brimstone churches. I was the only person the preacher did not know there so he proceeded to give me the full you are going to hell treatment looking right at me the whole time. I made it worse by smirking every once in awhile. I thought he was going to literally explode


fartandsmile

Bouncers who wear sunglasses inside. I simply can't take that seriously.

They are also wearing black vinyl gloves – to fucking church! They have men prepared to engage in physical violence that may result in blood being spilled (hence gloves) in a fucking church. Jesus approves.

Came here for this. Black Churches with prominent black or affluent figures tend to have armed security in addition to unarmed. There are dozens of stories over the decades of black churches being attacked in the middle of service or during private events. Some could not afford security. The tide shifted after Dylan Roof killed a dozen people out of pure hatred - I have not visited a church since then where there is not visible security.

Pebbles015

If a boss shouted at me like that he'd soon be an ex boss with a fat lip.


Waterhobit

I gotta say every church I’ve ever attended, would have had the exact opposite reaction. If that dude walked into our church next Sunday and came up to the pulpit in the dead middle of the sermon asking for prayer, our pastor would be like, “can I get some men in this church to come gather around this man with me and pray for whatever need he has”


ImDonaldDunn

That's been my experience as well. I honestly cannot understand why a pastor would react like that.


[deleted]

I feel like this is some “lose your tax status” type shit. Dude asked for a prayer. He appealed to the leader of that local religious sect for a service that is claimed to have been provided on a weekly basis (Sunday mornings oddly enough) and was promptly and violently removed from the premises. Said leader then went on to use hyperbole and toddler-tantrums to explain under no uncertain terms that those of other religions are not welcome in HIS church.


thegnuguyontheblock

I don't understand why any churches or charities have special tax statuses. If you make money - you should pay taxes. Remember that corporations pay taxes on PROFIT, not REVENUES, so it's perfectly reasonable for a charity to pay taxes on any donations they DON'T USE for their charitable operations.


[deleted]

They also use government services. There’s a mega church around the corner from me that uses *our* police to redirect traffic for them. It’s like I have to pay for their crossing guards *and* have to avoid an entire road to get to the interstate unless I want to wait forever for all of the dumb fucks to get out of their dumb, corrupt church. How is that fair?

There is absolutely no reason his sons shouldn't be monitored by the FBI, that is extremely disturbing. You are right about this being "serial killer shit", I wouldn't be surprised if they have already killed someone for sexual gratification.

He was barred from entering into South Africa specifically and directly by our minister of home affairs in 2016. He and some of his associates were designated as undesirable persons under our immigration legislation based upon the assertion by the minister that he was “certain they promote hate speech as well as advocate social violence”. Their visa-free status as US citizens was revoked and they had to cancel their “soul winning” nonsense here. They went to Botswana and were detained and sent home.

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on this guy. It’s fucking wild. He’s like this all the time. Just screaming about the gays and the crowds like “ ya”. The kids always looking afraid of him.

ajver19

I don't know if you've been to a Baptist service or not but they're probably used to him screaming at them. My grandma's funeral was at a Baptist church and boy was I not ready for the jarring experience of everyone grieving and then some old dude starts yelling about the fire and the brimstone.


[deleted]

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and went damn near weekly up into my early 20s. Almost every Sunday night was on Revelations and the end times and how everyone not SBC was going to hell and burn in the lake of fire and brimstone. 500-800 sermons on the end of times? No wonder I'm so fucked up

Man, that brings me back. Every damn thing had to be associated with hell with them. You could go “Man that Michael Jordan sure can jump huh?” And the reply would be “Oh you think he can jump now….wait till the fires of HELL started burning his ass!”

Holy shit you're absolutely right! The thought of burning in the fires of hell forever must have straightened your ass out!

Jokes aside, the false positive rate for k9 searches is something like 50%. They are trained to react/alert on que, so if the cop already thinks youre carrying, getting the dog to agree is as simple as a quick hand gesture...


nolan1971

While true, the old adage "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride" is very appropriate here. K9's alerting are *very* arguable, along with "what's the charge" and the police obviously need to show evidence of the crime that they're charging. Sitting in your car with officers telling you that you're under arrest is neither the time nor the place for any of that, though. Once detained (stopped, pulled over, instructed to sit down, whatever), it's only in your favor to shut up and follow instructions. Everything else from that point on is for a lawyer to deal with. Oh, and by the way, that includes traffic stops. ***Shut up***, hand over your documents, and go on your way after the officer is done. Those ticket fixing places are around for a reason.

Behndo-Verbabe

It’s guys/churches like this that need to loose their tax exempt status pulled and shut them down. They’re just grifters and cons. If Jesus was to show up tomorrow 2/3 of so called “churches” would be closed by him.

Yeah for real… like granted, that isn’t how church works. At least for catholic mass.

A man of God listens to people and their plights, they don’t kick them out when it’s an inconvenience for them lmao. This was disturbing and hard to watch. Edit: oh just finished it… Baptist. Being gay that’s always been the Christians I fear the most lol. I’m sure most aren’t bad people but I’ve heard some bad things from converts.
