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 institutionaized 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.
I find something about it rather hokey and if anyone here works in the medical field, more so a nervous hospital by all means please weight in on this as I'd love to hear your in put.
"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. "
Okay so if you read the rest or listen to the sermon it he makes it sound like he was forced to stay in only that room with all those people. Even sleep with all of them, include females. That sounds a bit odd. Don't most nervous hospitals have private or semi private rooms for patients? Don't they have beds and not reclining chairs? I think he's just spinning a yarn.
Let's just say that I have issues with this guy's story.
I have a friend who’s 5 year old was 5150’d. I went with them when they took the child to the nervous hospital. The child had his own room as did all the children on the ward. So I would suspect that even the adults in that hospital did.
You know you have walked through hell when you go through a nervous hospital for 5, 6 and 7 year olds. That a place like that would even have to exist is hell.
R.P. McMurphy
I was wondering that myself. It sounds like something from a movie or institutions from the 1940’s. Either way I want to say he made this up.
How many did he lead to Christ? Did he wonder WWJD in the same situation? Whats the moral of this story kids?
We know what he did, he complained for the whole 24 hours he was there.
I worked in psychiatric hospitals for numerous years, including my last job before retirement. There usually is a common area, but patients have their own rooms. He didn’t have to stay in the central area. Although I was hospital management, I went into the different units often. There were units - and patients - such as he describes. You had to be forever watchful. At my last job a patient killed the doctor, and the hospital closed shortly afterward.
This guy was cleared and released fast and got back on to the real world. I feel sorry for those other patients such as the ones he describes.
Of course he’s not a Catholic so that makes it more interesting to some.
Bless you.
Many years ago, I visited a small town while on a minor military mission. The place seemed to be deserted except for one home.
There, we knocked on the door and asked to use the telephone.
“Sure said the kind young lady.” She was one of the few managing the many people in poor mental shape.
Movies do not convey the misfortune.
Our little Napoleon marxist POS governor of Ohio is down with the cause.
It didn’t take republicans very long to make the “Red Flag” law in Ohio a hundred times worse. H.B. 249 also modifies the requirement that the person being pink-slipped must represent a substantial risk of physical harm to self or others. The bill would remove the requirement that the substantial risk of harm has to be a risk of physical harm.
I guess you can be sent to a medical facility for loitering in the future.
Actually this treatment is becoming common place. Local psych hospital ER is providing same level of non-care.
Psych ERs have never even nice places but now are becoming dangerous.
Psych furniture does not include recliners or anything with moving parts.
Psych care in this country is going back to 18th century standards.
No it is true
This is the Psych ER. Very different animal than the psych unit.
I went to a VA hospital patient advocate because I was sent a megadose of ibuprofen when I was supposed to have stage 3 kidney disease.
I was not a happy camper.
My next trip to my cardiologist he told me I never had stage 3 kidney disease and showed me a graph on my kidney function. He then preceded to give me a behavioral risk assessment after that. Very little was said about my heart. You think I didn’t want to beat the *hit out of this import. I did maintained my composure though.
This is getting like the movie One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Is the NIFB pastor really FBI maybe?
Our hospitals have temporary ED-based psych units where patient beds are in curtained stalls. They’re they stay until they’re either released or given an in-patient psych bed. People can wait days to get out of there, especially if the local police (or an outside provider) have them on a 72 hour hold.
Some local ERS have individual room holds for psych patients in their psych ers. However most are overwhelmed these days.
Others local ers have a large room manned by nurses and psych techs. Able to keep patients under observation. Reminiscent of bedlam.
Big City slums would present the same.
So you are telling me in some psych units men and women have to sleep in a main unit, in reclining chairs? Oh that won’t end well.
They should have at least have the men and women segregated but it will take a rape lawsuit for that to happen. Anderson was saying that men on that unit would start fighting each other so I can see the women being attacked.
How long are those people generally held in a unit like that? Do they then get sent to a unit where they have a room to stay in?
