After the June 12 massacre at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Anderson posted a video in which he said there are “50 less pedophiles” in the world. Forty-nine people were killed in the mass shooting at the gay nightclub.
Anderson has been reaping the consequences of his words, and he is not happy about it.
“It’s war. You know what the filthy sodomites have done toward our church and us, and our friends and our fellow pastors that actually have the guts to say what needs to be said? Here’s what they’ve done in the last few weeks,” he told his congregation. “They got our PayPal account shut down so that we can’t take anymore online donations. We set up with another company, GivLet, they got that shut down. Qgiv, they got that shut down. BitPay, they got that shut down. They shut down our iTunes podcast. They shut down Brother Jimenez’s PayPal account. They shut down Brother Romero’s PayPal account… The landlord of Pastor Jimenez is saying, ‘hey we’re not going to renew your lease.’”

Anderson was clearly angry that these words have come back to haunt them.
“I mean these people are dedicated,” he said, about LGBT rights activists. “These people are researching, they’re finding out where we bank, they’re finding out who we do business with. They’re trying to get us shut down on all fronts, and you know what, let me tell you something, I’m sick of it.”
He then jumped up on his podium and started pointing at the audience.
“And you know what, if you’re not gonna back us up then get out of here, we don’t need your help,” he said, before launching into an invective-filled rant calling LGBT people “dogs.”
I guess that whole “reaping the whirlwind” business isn’t okay if it’s aimed at them. Full Story Here.
I relation to his ministry of hate finding a shortage of on-line venues to broadcast from, and people willing to channel donation to his nest of bigotry, as a friend of mine used to say about things that might concern him, but didn’t: “My heart bleeds like a fucking potato”.
What a fucking asshole.
Lorn:
That begins to cover it. Assholes like this always want to point out that ignoring god has consequences. Now they get to learn that hate has consequences too.
He can have all the free speech he wants, but he did not think it came with consequences. I suppose he thought the worst that would happen would be people would try to ignore him. He made sure that did not happen. I wonder how many christians will talk about how he is being “persecuted” for his beliefs?
