Warning: repeated use of the word ‘pisseth’ (as used in the King James Version of the Bible).
I found the clip via Real Live Preacher (who, incidentally, has a new website – worth adding to your feed reader). Apparently it is for real – it is by Pastor Steve Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church. To quote his website:
Pastor Anderson holds no college degree but has well over 100 chapters of the Bible committed to memory

The irony is that I almost wet myself laughing….and yes I am sitting down!! LOL
I kept waiting for the laughter, did they edit it out??? Or do they all pee sitting down??
You could have quite a bit of fun with this,
e.g.
The lazy man ‘pisseth’ standing up,
Or the feminist reading:
The considerate man ‘pisseth’ sitting down
Or
He that ‘pisseth’ standing up violateth the seat
God’s being vile, God’s the one who wrote the bible…
Good job I left the Baptists for the Anglicans – No pisseth there!
I notice from the church website of the pastor in the video that the he was sent by his pastor from his home church in California to found a church in Arizona.
I wonder if that’s really a method for making your own church’s life easier that I hadn’t previously come across.
I cannot find it in my on-line concordance but yes it is in Youngs…
He is right of course the Authorised Version was good enough for St Paul so it should be good enough for us.
We must be care not to take the ****
100 Chapters. Out of 1189. Big deal.
I wonder if he also has an opinion about beards.
just so long as he puts the seat down afterwards…
“That’s what’s wrong with America today”. No, not the sitting down to pee thing, the fact that this guy thinks it’s important. That the most important thing he can tell his congregation* this morning is that men and pastors (who naturally must be men) should pee standing up. It’s like it’s some manner of dire sin, like hypocrisy or denying the resurrection or something. Apparantly, the moral and spiritual decline of the world is caused by people who pee sitting down. What, therefore, can we assume about his attitude to women?
*I am assuming he has one, of course. Other than one ‘amen’, there’s no evidence of there being anyone else there, leading me to wonder whether or not this is actually a joke.
“spiritual decline of the world is caused by people who pee sitting down” – I know, I really did laugh when he said that the President sits down to pee like it was the ultimate sin!
I can’t say for sure what he actually was trying to get across?!
This is what awaits you after disestablishment. Don’t do it!
I guess the fact that the chapter and verse numbers were added later and therefore cannot have anything to do with the Hebrew number-symbolism escaped him. This whole thing brings to mind the old adage, “pity a man[sic] with ambition so small he writes his name on a lavatory wall”.
“I will destroy him from Jeroboam that pisseth against the wall”.
What about will happen to “Him from Texas that pisseth against SPCK”?
Well, that all seems very Biblical to me – after all, surely it should be God sitting on the throne and not us…
(ba-doom tish, Ithankyou)
All I can think of is another bit of King James terminology, synonym for a popular barnyard expletive: Dung!
Testify!
Verily, I did pisseth myself laughingeth.
Next week he tells us to ‘drinketh the beer standing up’ and that’s the reason British pubs are so holy, you can lean up at the bar and be a holy drinker…LOL!
Sureth thou doeth taketh thy pisseth.
“piss against the wall like a man”
…at this moment, i’ve never been more thrilled to be a woman!
I have to say that one of my first thoughts was whether those particular verses ever come up in the lectionary…
You know, this preacherman feller in the video might be a little bit out there, but he’s not that different from the average American preacherman. Honestly.
For starters, go to the (Episcopal) Diocese of Central Florida website and check out the sermons and “teachings” of the megachurch non-denominational preacher from Wyoming who is leading a revival and diocesan “churchplanting” conference there.Click on “A Kingdom Mandate” at http://www.cfdiocese.org/ and follow the link to the audio recordings of the recent revival. Tuesday evening is fairly typical: “The Bible says.” “Spiritual warfare.” “Signs of the End Times.” Above all: “Power, power, power.” Power is a constant theme. God has power and He will give US power and then we will have POWER!
OK, I am feeling cranky today, but I really, really resent the fact that this kind of stuff is being shoved down our throats as the only acceptable form of religion in America. I liked the Episcopal Church as it was, before you Brits and your Primates and Windsor Report and the rest of your blunt Instruments of Communion battered it beyond recognition and turned it into one more version of the standard-issue fundie-Pentecostal hooie.
ohohoho this is the lunatics taken over the assylum. Stop thinking and only believe…
Verily I say unto thee, far better to pisseth whilst thou sitteth. If thou shouldst pisseth agaist a wall thou shouldst take heed of the message to the males of Jeroboam. God’s comming to get you.
[...] This guy really does tell me all I need to know to be real man! Shame he has forgotten that the King James Version of the Bible isn’t really the original scripture… [...]
I saw this a few days ago and had a good laugh.
Then I looked a bit deeper.
The preacher guy posted the clip himself. Along with another clip explaining why Billy Graham is going to hell. Worrying.
Then I browsed their church website and the preacher’s wife’s blog. It goes so far beyond laughable that it actually becomes not funny anymore. These people live their lives so fixated on the words of the original KJV that they seem to actually miss the loving God the book speaks of. It makes me really sad.
Does this mean that the use of toilets by men is unbiblical: we must only use walls?
Verily, a mighty man is he that pisseth a Jeroboam. Such an one riseth up early to drink and continueth towards night, and at the advice of the Apostle, containeth through the day, until at its end he looseth his overflowing stream, whereat the people do shout, “Yea, the waters have gone right over us!”
On a less hilarious note – this is from their short statement of faith (but something they felt had to be included next to Jesus being God etc):
“We believe that homosexuality is a sin and an abomination which God punishes with the death penalty.” (http://www.faithfulwordbaptist.org/page6.html)
NOT even homosexual practice. The pastor’s wife’s blog is also obsessed with folk receiving the death penalty….scary folk!
Maybe if you had some seminary training you would have a better base of knowledge to understand what the text is talking about. Instead, you form some really interesting conclusions that have no merit whatsoever in relation to the text that you should be exageting.
