[@UmbrellaRebellion]

Miriam, please consider what I am saying. If you were abused within the statutes of limitation in AZ you can press charges against your parents. I know that may not be what you want to do, but you may be the only one that can save your younger siblings from futher harm. Your parents need to be held accountable for the abuse they have done. If you wait too long, the statute of limitations will be up and your siblings will continue to be abused. You have at least two siblings with severe medical issues that could cause life-threatening conditions. Please, please consider pressing charges to save your siblings!!!!

[@michaelcooke7123]

@@UmbrellaRebellion She has no evidence. No outside witnesses to support her claims. But rumor is she does have $17,000. Money is now incentive to lie and get view counts. Similar to fake domestic violence accusations pending a divorce. The incentive is now for cash and prizea. Maybe Pastor Anderson could sue her and win a judgement in court if she is lying or exaggerating... Her younger siblings are not in any danger. The LGBT want any excuse to home wreck his family and church. People are attracted to Anderson because he had the courage to tell the truth and stand on the Bible and truth People are always attracted to people like that. You're not going to break up his home take his kids and ruin his church.

Parents don’t hit spouses don’t hit if they love Jesus. And I am so sorry for all the abuse you have suffered and I will be praying for you and wishing only the best for you for the rest of your life! I pray that the authorities will find a way to help your brothers and sisters that are still under your mother and dad‘s hand get out of that environment! I pray in Jesus mighty name that you are safe and that all your brothers and sisters are safe and that your dad and mom cannot abuse them anymore in Jesus name!

In this case the tree grew arms and flung those apples across the orchard. Those kids are amazing.

Sadly it’s often due to a child having to grow up too fast. Often empathetic and highly emotionally intelligent people have had rough childhood and those skills helped them survive. May the Lord draw close to them in this hard time of breaking free and Christian’s pray for these to young people for their healing and protection.

[@Misfitcontentcreators]

My husband told me after attempting to get Slamderson to step down when the chats came out… we just have to let it go and let the kids grow up they will tell all. I always was so curious how he could know that! He stood strong on the fact he began with, kids growing up talking like this derived from somewhere. He knew it was all linked. It caused us to fuss a little because I wanted him to do more at first, but he always said after the first couple weeks after exposing it all: “God and the kids will do it, we can be done now.”

[@johnthebeloved6598]

God is at work behind all this. He is bringing the evil into the light, so that Miriam, John, Solomon and Isaac can be restored and protected. God loves them, and His judgement is against Steven. Steven chose to ignore it because financially is completely dependent on his ministry. Therefore, he must ignore God for lucres sake. The children, although almost all adults, are incredible for stepping forward, for articulating what they have been through so clear, and honestly. God loves them, and Steven is under God's judgement.

[@johnthebeloved6598]

I have seen and witnessed it a number of times now in the NIFB. I was once blinded by it, yet God through the truth of my own testimony, and His love for me, gave me every opportunity to see though the masks, the manipulation, the condemnation in hypocrisy, the ignorance, and the need of many of them to be seen to be doing great things. All driven not by God, but by carnal needs. The types who we are warned about placing our pearls before.. "our testimony and love for God".. because they trample them, turn kn you, and attack as ravenous wolves. Angry men, spiteful men, bitter men. Who hate the world, who hate the people within it, and who hate the merciful, understanding and loving unless it serves their need to he seen as great men of God.

[@firewalkwifme]

Miriam you are such an inspiration. I remember when I left home, even at 18 it was very messy. My parents told people I was mentally ill, even mentally disabled, and tried to make me seem like I wasn't in the right mind so no one would take me seriously. They even tried to tell cops this, but thankfully they left me alone aside from a couple wellness checks. My parents did everything they could to coax and manipulate me home when they COULD calm down and attempt being "gentle" but I knew it was danger no matter what they said. As time passes you will get stronger and stronger, you're already an Ox girl!!! More power and blessings to you💝💖🦋🌹you didn't deserve any of that crap.

[@rlolo777]

I commend this very mature young woman for coming to her senses and disobeying her dad to protect herself. If you think about it, when kids obey their parents they do it out of trust. You go home out of obedience, you have to trust them that you will be okay. They betray that trust by abusing them once they obey. They didn't have to obey. They could have just said nah not doing that, I don't trust you. And in her case, I'm glad she did. Her dad, after receiving that very respectful text from her, should have understood and apologized to her for being so irate. This man is in sin and should not be behind a pulpit. So much pride it is disgusting. His brother literally shared Scripture to him and he just ignored it, yet as a preacher he expects his congregation to be humble enough to accept correction from Scripture? What a Pharisee viper.

[@charleneadams1437]

I don’t see it as disobedience but as a way to survive because you know that you are in truly danger. That’s just nature in us to run away from danger, that’s why her body reacted that way at her job. My heart breaks for all of them :(

@@AllGoingToPlan Well I guess I was used to random bursts anger that's why I was sitting there. After you get past the initial shock, you look around and see everyone is like a deer in the head lights staring, so that's what I did too. Now that I have left, I look back and I see the truth and a corrupt tree can not bare good fruit. Not his kids, that is of the flesh, but his spiritual fruits, fruits of righteousness. And the Bible says he will be cut down in cast into the fire. I'm sure a lot of people disagree with me, but once you heal from abuse and realize our relationship with Christ is a marriage, and a covenant and that covenant does have conditions and you can not just do whatever you want and that person can never leave you and has no choice but to stay no matter what you do to them. You realize OSAS is a false doctrine, a blind fold because people have a love of unrighteousness and not a love of the truth so the Lord has sent them a strong delusion that they believe this lie. You must love your wife like your own flesh, and you must love God with all you might and these things are not options to love is a commandment, and them that love him keep his commandments. When you repent and obey from the heart your eyes will open and a lot more verses will start making sense. Trust me I used to believe you don't have to apologize, you don't have to repent, but it all speaks to this abusive narcissistic mentality of hurting people.

She is one of the most pure, loving, huge heart you will ever be privileged to be around. The innocents and beauty inside and out of Miriam shines to anyone that has been in her presence. This alone makes it very clear she is not lying, this whole video is way to detailed and perfectly fluid. I can only imagine what kinda warped twisting in the brain they will have to do to say she is lying now.

[@Sad_Bumper_Sticker]

Most abused children are neurologically wired to keep loving a paremt, it’s trauma bonding and biological deep instinct, also codependency is really difficult and not rational. Even when a teen or adult child comprehends that the parent is mentally disordered amd abusive - it still is hard to stop caring about such a parent. Psyxhology and Trauma is really complex, it’s not simple or straightforward how we react and what we feel. I hope Miriam received money for therapy or money to get vocational training and take care of her siblings, if she feels mentally up to that, if the courts decide it’s an option. On the other hand Miriam must save herself first and self-care and find a means of working to ensure a safe and empowering job to ensure her liveliehood is not an additional source of anxiety. Miriam seems so self-aware and wise beyond her years. I’m relieved she has a supportive uncle. I hope Miriam finds help from an NGO or foundation which helps teens /young adults leaving abusive homes and having to move and make a living.

I am also extremely disturbed to learn that a four-year-old child is being force fed laxatives twice daily. Overuse of laxatives can cause a perforated colon and kidney and liver failure. All three of those things can and will cause the end of life in adults, let alone a young child. Obviously being extremely constipated is also dangerous for much the same reason, but the fact that the kid was too scared of the parents that she made herself so ill is a very serious situation.

[@sbg2520]

It's not all coincidental. It's inevitable. The boys escaped easily because they were permitted jobs and allowed to leave home. Miriam would. never have been allowed these things, she would never have gotten permission to leave, something like this was bound to happen. She needed to save herself. Keep talking Miriam, tell everyone.

[@williamwallace2823]

Most likely she would have been coerced into marrying one of his church wierdos who managed to ingratiate himself (or his parents did) enough to steven. Any so-called man after steven's heart is a guaranteed lifetime of abuse. At least his male adult children were respected enough to choose their own wives. Through guilting, lies, violence, manipulation or whatever else, I seriously doubt any of his daughters would ever be allowed to leave his household without him arranging, either directly or indirectly, their marriage to someone just like himself.

[@Dj.D25]

One of the things I can’t stand about Independent Fundamental Baptists is how much they are against women having a career and being independent. They really do teach that women are meant to stay mostly at home, not have much of a social life, depend on a man. Almost no other Christians teach this.

I grew up without any of this “discipline” at all. It isn’t even allowed in this part of the world (Scandinavia). Parents would go to jail immediately. I hope you all realize that none of you is to blame for what happened to you and I hope that you never feel alone. I can only imagine how hard it must be sometimes, but time has a way of making you forget and making it easier and easier to forget about people that hurt you. The problem doesn’t lie with you in any way. The problem lies with the parents that have chosen faux-self-righteousness over family members in a futile attempt to make their own “trauma” go away. Their lies and gaslighting aren’t normal, it isn’t how parents are supposed to act. I hope you reach out to people and find comfort in each other. You’re all excellent speakers by the way.

[@stst77]

I disagree that time has a way of making you forget abuse. Childhood abuse tends to leave lifelong scars on and impacts one’s adult life. Even if children of abuse understand they were abused, that’s still all they know so they have many additional hurdles to face in life than the average person. For example, they may not understand boundaries because healthy boundaries were never modeled for them. Or as Miriam said her mom never knew what a healthy relationship looked like but Miriam doesn’t realize it but she doesn’t either which makes her susceptible to following in her mom’s footsteps of going into an abusive relationship as children of abuse often do (they often either go into an abusive relationship or they become abusive themselves without ever meaning to because abuse has been imprinted on them). There are many gaps where they have not learned normal or healthy coping skills, they may have anxiety issues, fears, depression, etc that carry into their adult lives. On top of that there is the memories and sadness of their childhood that they still carry and then when they have children they don’t have healthy grandparents to give to their children which is painful nor do they have healthy parents to help them with the struggles of adult life and parenting. That support network isn’t there for them and that can be painful too and a reminder of their childhood. Things like this make it impossible to forget. Childhood abuse isn’t something someone can say “ been there done that, now it’s gone”. Most adults in therapy and prison can trace their problems back to childhood abuse or trauma. It’s not something you just forget about and happily move on. It will have a life long effect. However in today’s information age people can get more help and understanding of what they went through and what is appropriate and inappropriate compared to people even in the recent past. So Miriam can start a journey to healing now, but it will be a process. It will not be something she ever forgets though.

[@Not_a_witch]

@@martinsen2498 your allowed to spank, you are not allowed to use any objects, it must be open hand on the butt and it can’t leave any marks. Everything the kids described is very illegal and would get you a hefty prison sentence and your kids taken away, if it can be proven. CPS isn’t great at handling these things because without a warrant, they can’t get proof to prosecute and even with many abuse cases they will try to help fix the situation because the foster care system is so overwhelmed and can lead to even more trauma and abuse.

Miriam, I have a question for you and your siblings. This is somewhat personal to of what happened to me. Did you or your siblings ever think at first "I would never go against my parents no matter what because they're the ones who led me to Christ?" I made a mistake of holding on to that mindset... My dad lead me to Christ but he was FAR from a practicing Christian. He was abusive to my sister and younger half-brother. Less to me because im more or less special needs and on the spectrum autistic..(and other stuff I can't explain at this moment, its very complicated) but I think that's the reason why im following this story.

Nah, I've been listening to all people's opinions of what has happened, before I make my decision, and decide on what I will do. I've never agreed with a lot of Pastor Anderson's opinions, but he is very good at interpreting the bible, when his opinion is not involved, and led me to a very good understanding of the bible. I did not totally believe Isaac and Johns interviews, as they merely seemed to be upset that they got kicked out of the home for drugs, drinking, posting whatever they posted in a chat group etc. As soon as I hear about Miriam, I relooked at all of their interviews, and leaned towards the children telling the truth. After I listened to Solomon's interview last night, I am very much believing everything that Solomon is saying, and Miriam. I would like to see if the mother will leave Pastor Anderson, like the kids say that she had planned to do, and if she ever speaks out. I do believe that the police and CPS will 100% now get involved, and they could be investigating Pastor Anderson and his wife. I'm waiting to see how things unfold. I do hope that PA and his wife come out and are regretful, and get some help, to fix whatever mental issues would cause them to be abusive. If they are this abusive, then the kids do need to be taken by family. I do hope that if the kids are taken, then there is some sort of visual evidence of the abuse.

[@ObeyTruth]

@@Misfitcontentcreators I agree Katie a tiger doesn't change it's stripes. But I also believe that the parents will try to change the children's narrative, they will try to change the children's minds in preparation of them being interviewed. If they continue to be abusive and the kids are interviewed regardless if it's physical or emotional the kids will tell. I think the parents are now forced to be on their best behavior in fear the kids know what's right and what's wrong even if it's not physical and they will tell. All a CPS worker has to do is ask the right questions. "How do your parents hurt you?" I also believe they are very aware of what they are doing and how they should behave. I think they will try to make the children happy that way if the children are interviewed they'll feel safe and won't want to get their parents in trouble because they're so happy their parents are so much nicer than they are. But I believe if theyre able to trick the children into thinking things will be better now, CPS will still find out and take those kids. But they are safe for now and probably getting the best version of their parents they've ever received, they're going to be loved bombed, that's a narcissist way and that's all because of Solomon, Isaac, John, and Miriam. But in the end those kids will be taken because no matter how intelligent the parents are, CPS can simply watch the sermons and see him defending domestic violence and child abuse.
