1st Kings 21:13-14, “And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.”
We are living today in perilous times of wicked slander, hatred and allegations on social media. Literally, anybody can say anything about anyone in the court of public opinion, and there is no cross examination to defend the accused. Countless lives have (and are being) destroyed by allegations made on social media. This is the perverse “Me Too” generation, where anybody can claim to be a “victim” to gain attention, money and sympathy. Once someone accuses you, there is absolutely NO WAY to defend yourself to clear your name, and that is wicked. It should be the other way around, that unless there is solid evidence you cannot be deemed guilty.
Check this horror story out. I remember when I lived in Chicago, hearing about this horror story in the daily news, that I felt so sorry for this poor teacher, Albert Thompson (then age 43). I remember that the school fired the man before they had all the details to protect the school. Angry people in the public were protesting outside the man's personal home, throwing tomatoes and garbage at his house. Days later police investigators learned that those 11 children all ruthlessly LIED. ...
FOR $1, PUPILS ACCUSE TEACHER OF SEX ABUSEBy Associated Press | May 18, 1994
When 11 fourth-graders accused their substitute teacher of molesting them, authorities were ready to believe them. Even the teacher agreed that children so young rarely lie about such things.
This time, they did lie - prodded, police say, by a classmate who had offered them $1 apiece to accuse the teacher falsely. "What's so scary - and so sad - is that you've got 9-year-old kids sophisticated enough to know they can get a teacher by saying he fondled them," Chicago Teachers Union spokeswoman Jackie Gallagher said.
"You just don't want to think that our little kids who you're still reading nursery rhymes to are figuring they're going to stick it to their teacher."
Albert Thompson told police his class at Fuller Elementary School on Chicago's South Side became unruly during his May 9 assignment. He said some children ran out of the classroom, and he had to stand by the door to keep others inside.
When Thompson threatened to report their misbehavior, a 9-year-old girl offered to pay 10 classmates - nine girls and a boy - $1 each if they joined her in claiming that Thompson fondled them, police said.
Thompson, 43, never was charged. Police cleared him after some of the children made inconsistent statements and one admitted they had made up the story to get him in trouble. The 9-year-old also recanted, police said.
But he hasn't gotten another teaching assignment.
"We're in a society where you're guilty until proven innocent," Thompson said Tuesday. Political correctness and children's rights "overrode my rights," he said.
At the same time, even Thompson said the case was unusual. "For every case like mine, there are nine cases" where a child really was abused, he said.
"This is really the exception," said Bette L. Bottoms, an assistant psychology professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago who has researched the use of child witnesses in sexual abuse cases. "Let's not use this as an example to discredit children in general."
Lt. Robert Hargesheimer said the children probably had not thought through their actions and how the allegations "could damage this guy personally and professionally."
The district still must review the police report before giving Thompson more teaching assignments, said schools spokesman Dawne Simmons.
School officials are also trying to decide how to punish the youngsters.
Gallagher said the children will benefit more from counseling than severe punishment.
Isn't that terrible? Albert Thompson is absolutely right, “We're in a society where you're guilty until proven innocent.” Thanks to DNA technology and testing, hundreds of wrongfully convicted men have been exonerated and released from prison decades later who were falsely accused of a horrible crime. As of April 14, 2025, in the United States alone 375 men have been exonerated of criminal behavior by DNA evidence. It is tragic and evil that police investigators under public pressure to find a criminal often blame innocent people!
This true story of Albert Thompson, who was FALSELY accused of molesting 11 children in his classroom, serves to warn everyone why we should NEVER believe any accusations against anyone until all the details are gathered, and there is irrefutable evidence to indict them.
In Defense of Pastor Steven Anderson
I posted this blog because all the hordes of hell lately have come against Pastor Steven Anderson, accusing him of abusing his wife and children. The evidence doesn't exist! Just because his four adult children (who are barely out of their teens) claim they were physically abused, doesn't make it true. We must keep in mind that Brother Anderson is a well-known Independent Fundamental Baptist preacher, so he is hated by everyone for his biblical stand. God pity the preacher that the world don't hate!
If Steven Anderson were a plumber, Walmart manager or dog catcher, nobody would care what goes on under his roof at home. You know that to be very true friend. Pastor Jack Hyles was right, “No one can withstand the attack of a critic.”
A man sent me a message today slandering my ministry friend Pastor Steven Anderson, and included a link to Paul Wittenberger's new slanderous hateful documentary titled: 'Man of God: The Cord.' Here is what the critical man messaged to me about Brother Anderson...
“Such anger. Such Rage this man took out on his whole family. This is not the fruit of the Spirit love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self control. How terrible.”And here is my biblical reply to this critic, in defense of Pastor Anderson's justly presumed innocence...
Kindly said, what you are doing is evil. You are a fool if you believe that garbage. CPS has been to Pastor Anderson's home several times without warning and they've left impressed every time. If the Anderson's children were in harm's way, CPS would have removed the remaining eight children from their home, BUT THEY HAVEN'T!
I have four adult children all in their thirties now. When they were teenagers they were a handful. They went through a time of rebellion where they thought they knew more than Mom and Dad. I went thought the same rebellious stage as a teenager. The Anderson's children are no different, they are still kids caught between childhood and adulthood, juveniles.
Paul Wittenberger is a human piece of trash! He is a hateful bitter man who used to produce pornographic videos. Now he produces hateful slanderous videos attacking a godly fundamentalist preacher. Paul is no better than Christ-denier Eric Skwarczynski at the 'Preacher Boys' toilet channel on YouTube. Pastor Anderson is not perfect (no preacher is; I'm sure not), but there is NO EVIDENCE that he has abused his family, only accusations. Accusations are not facts! I go through this all the time with Pastor Jack Hyles' enemies, who hate on him with slander without facts.
Paul Wittenberger and his ungodly accomplices are pulling Pastor Anderson's sermon words out of context, twisting the facts and distorting the truth in a wicked effort to push an agenda to destroy God's man. Here's the honest video that you should be watching, in which you can hear John Anderson talk about how good of a parent his Dad is (John later changed his story 180 degrees, indicting himself as a liar).
My father used to beat me mercilessly with a belt countless times and it hurt! I had marks! Sometimes I didn't deserve it, but most times I did (Hebrews 12:6-8). Sometimes he'd hit me all over and blame me for moving around while he spanked me. Right! NOTHING hurts worse than the slap of a leather belt!!! I thought my father was a jerk at the time. But today, I THANK GOD for my strict Dad that he spanked me, because I'm a law abiding citizen today! I'm not in prison. I'm not a drug addict bum surviving on the streets. I'm not a panhandler. I am a responsible man! I care. I fear God and the law. I owe that to my Christian Dad. If you have a problem with spanking children, you are a Bible denying fool and not right with God.
Paul Wittenberger with his magnifying glass is wickedly digging for dirt, connecting dots that don't exist, lifting Pastor Anderson's words and phrases out of context in his sermons to fabricate a false narrative to damage his name, reputation and ministry.
THE TRUTH is that Paul Wittenberger is a greedy man! He is angry at Brother Anderson for costing him his Alex Jones connection (and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years). Alex Jones has several million followers. Pastor Anderson took a proper biblical stand against Alex for his worldliness and heresy which caused Alex and Pastor Anderson to part ways. When that happened, Paul Wittenberger lost his cash cow! That is the hatred, anger and bitterness fueling Paul's campaign to destroy Pastor Anderson's ministry. Paul is bitter
This "Man of God" documentary by Paul Wittenberger is 100% slander! I heard Miriam criticizing her Dad for studying too much. That's a great father whom she should be proud of. There's not a perfect parent on planet earth, but this video is sinfully trying to connect a bunch of dots to wrongly demonize two great parents. Pastor Anderson is 100% correct in his teachings about spanking and disciplining children. Wicked society today does NOT follow, recognize nor regard God's Word.
The bottom line is that people will always believe what they want to believe, with total disregard for the truth if it doesn't fit their agenda. We see this every day in the ungodly media concerning President Donald Trump. In the eyes of the insane Democrats, President Trump cannot do anything right. They hate him without cause for what he stands for, the Christian conservative right.
Pastor Anderson is my ministry friend and I will defend him to the hills. I am a friend at midnight. I refuse to condemn a man based on mere unfounded allegations. I don't care of dozens of people accuse someone, that doesn't make it true.
In the Old Testament, wicked Jezebel conspired to have innocent Naboth murdered so she could steal his vineyard to give to Ahab her husband. Jezebel paid two thugs to lie about Naboth, falsely accusing him of treason and blasphemy to kill him unjustly.
Joseph was falsely accused. Jesus was falsely accused. Daniel was falsely accused. The Scripture gives us several examples of innocent saints who were FALSELY accused and suffered for it. One of the most unjust things you will ever do is to just believe accusations against a person without any irrefutable evidence to back it up.
Case in point was back in 1994 in Chicago, when 11 children falsely accused their substitute teacher Albert Thompson (then age 43) of sexually molesting them. A mean little girl paid 10 classmates $1 each to lie that their teacher sexually molested them. Due to the children's inconsistencies in their testimonies, one child eventually told the truth that they were paid to lie, but the damage was already done. The man had been wrongfully fired before the facts were gathered. The school never called Mr. Thompson again to teach. His home had been vandalized by angry neighbours. The stigma sticks!
It is unbiblical, evil, unethical and just plain wrong to believe accusations without irrefutable solid evidence to back up those allegations. You need to stop slandering Pastor Anderson based on nothing more than hearsay and rumors. His four children clearly have an agenda to bring down their father's ministry, and that is Satan!
