|

So, you may have heard about this horrible family, these sad excuses for human beings. The Westboro Baptist Church is made up mainly of the Phelps family. They are the people who have been going around Boycotting the funerals of US soldiers. Not only are they against the soldiers, but they are against catholics, canadians, blacks, jews, gays, USA, and pretty much everything that isn't them. The BBS ran a special on them, where a man went and lived with them for a period of time. Sadly, youtube took them off their site (What else is new?) If you want any other information/videos on them, you can just type in "Phelps" on youtube, or "Westboro Baptist Church" on google. Just a warning, you will more than likely be offended by the views of these people, and the hurtful ways they express them.
Here is a link to the Wikipedia page on them: WBC
Also, 2 video's on them:
Video 1
Video 2
Turns out someone else has posted the Documentary:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5

Bleh. I mostly just try to ignore them. The less attention they get the better. _________________

I don't think ignoring them will make them stop or go away. as long as nobody carries on the tradition and someone knocks them off we'll all be fine
These are the "god hates fags" guys right? the ones who also said the tsunami disaster was caused because of gay people living there, or the natives/locals accepting the behaviors of tourists.
so why do some people cry and cry and cry when someone makes fun of religion? well we have our answer right here. enclopedia dramatica coudn't do a bettter job hosting the "LULs of religion gone wrong" than the real thing itsself. It all makes me want to become God of America more and more.
when I am, then this church won't exist anymore. the'll like, become sweatshop workers for me.
I wonder what happens if their children get shot? if our army guys died or deserved to be shot for being gay then what happens? gmm. too bad the only people who kill everyone are their ilk. _________________ few runes short of a set of 27

There are some people waiting to do some horrible things to Fred Phelps' corpse when he finally dies, and I support it wholeheartedly. _________________

corpse smorphs. these people don't care about the body, the say it over and over again in obscure fashions, mainly the "funerials are worshiping the dead"
I say find a way to deny them any benifits of living in America, or like deny them healthcare. I mean why go to sinfull 'I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK loving doctors" right? god will patch them up.
Its still amazing no counter movment has gotten them.
I'd love to see a picket war aginst them.
maybe I can find some people to picket war. martch around with signs of roasted angels and jesus in a ballet dress. and signs with crosses with "i did it for the LULZ".
Religion always confuses me. Preach love and kindeness, do good, love thy neighbor, don't murder. don't lie and all that. But its all a lie its self.
you can do all that to anyone you want only if they aren't one of your kin.
I wish I say more like "what if someone did someting to one of those teen girls".if so should I carry a sign in front of their house saying "she asked for it" or "justice booyah!" who knows. its not "nice" to joke about somthing like that. But look who we are talking about.
Then again "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" _________________ few runes short of a set of 27

Religion as a concept is a great thing to bring groups of people together. The problem with religion are the people who practice it. This is why you have people like the Westboro Baptist Church, Al-Qaeda, and any other groups who has taken what they want from religion to push their own agenda forward.
There's really not much one can do to this group unless they break laws and privacy laws in the area they're visiting. I think part of what they want is for people they're picketing to react in a violent manner. This will mean it will be caught on camera since wherever they go the news vans usually appear as well. By getting attacked they can scream and shout that their constitutional rights have been broken.
While they're not terrorist in the sense that Al-Qaeda is they can be a danger if people ignore them without finding a way to put them out of business. I'm sure somewhere there are people trying to find a legal way to muzzle the group. Sooner or later they will make a mistake where their activities will suddenly be seen as an illegal gathering. _________________

The problem with religion is people can't just let it be a part of their life. it has to be a part of everyones life. People need to live and let live. Stop pushing beliefs, and recruiting people to your "cause" Religion is fine, if you appreciate it while appreciating the fact that other's don't have to agree with you. _________________

Hey, don't worry about it. I think pretty much everyone hates the Westboro Baptist Church, even Christians (well, the moderate ones anyway not sure about fundamentalists). I know I sure do.
I find their philosophy absolutely disgusting. I stumbled upon their site one day while doing research on hate crimes against homosexual people and what do I see? "Hey look that kid is gay, let's go picket at his funeral and announce to everyone that he's going to suffer in Hell, never mind that it's totally insensitive and he was killed by people who really had no excuse to do it."
It's not only their prejudice against homosexuals that pisses me off. They also twist the Bible to their liking, they couldn't argue a sane argument if their lives depended on it, they are very rude and pretty much everything they say is garbage if not all of it. It seems to me that they don't do anything but to spread the idea that all gays should go to Hell, which really is not the biggest of problems for Christians.
These are the people that make religion look very bad. My Christian friends are disgusted at what they preach, because they seem to have twisted just about everything to say that God hates this and God hates that. People like them are the ones who will be punished in the end because they did use God's name in vain after all. :wink: _________________

I had actually heard of these mental nutcases before today. Its clear they are some sort of insane cult who are borderline dangerous. Thats the thing about freedom though, you can be an absolute nut job.
But seriously what they are doing to the families of the soldiers is sick, and their unusual fanatic beliefs are clearly insane and most people would just ignore them. _________________

They were in New Jersey yesterday of the day before. A soldier from the area had been killed, and they had a special on the news about him. The service looked beatiful, and a lot of people showed up. Sadly, 3 people from the WBC were there. From what the news showed, they were ignored. How family members don't lose it and attack these people is beyond me. I can't imagine the pain of losing a son or brother, and then have someone disgrace them, at the funeral, and throw it in my face. I'm a peaceful person, but everyone has their limits. The one video I showed has them being attacked, and they are escorted out in a van. Someone punches through the window, and it instantly filled me with joy. _________________

and what a pitty, I could of had my fun. if only I were a bible historian, or spit out random illogical passages for fun. Now, because NJ dosen't follow there rules God hates NJ as well. Isn't it enough insult and injury allredy to thouse who live there, now God hates us?

these are so easy to make fun of. Its also funny "omg u worship the dead"
I doubt that these people throw their dead in a hole for animals to eat.
this is the only good thing about living in America, you can run around screaming what ever you want and condeming others. I find it sickning that then with that its used aginst it.
more so when satire gets 'sick'. Man how I wish I can run around with some people saying stupid things, or getting people to belive I'm some demonic lord sent to wreak havoic and if they treat me good they are spaired. Or I'm one of Fenrir's children and I'm gonna put god on a sandwich as well.
Pat Robertson is also nuttsy.

Sheriff Hits Shirley Phelps
Smart man, makes sure it isn't on camera. I assume he hit her in the face, judging by what she said. If he shot them down right there, I would visit him in prison everyday. _________________

Just to make something clear before everyone goes down this road: on this forum, wishing for the death of other people just isn't kosher, capisce? Like them or hate them, go right ahead, but saying or strongly implying that you want someone else dead just produces a negative atmosphere that we don't need. _________________
