Headed up by "Pastor" Fred Phelps, the Church had a membership of around 40, according to reports in 2011. Their website is sadly entitled "godhatesfags.com"

One of the members of our Church is from Topeka, and is well acquainted with
Megan Phelps-Roper. She left the "church" in January of this year, shortly after her Sister Grace made the same decision. They are the grand-daughters of Fred Phelps.

Megan spoke at our Church in April and told her story. It is an amazing story of spiritual abuse. In addition to being the grand-daughter of the Founder, she was responsible for all of Westboro's social media and Internet presence.

In an interview shortly after their departure, a spokesman for Westboro, Steve Drain told reporters that the girls had simply decided to stop following God and that if they continued on this course and did not return to "the fold," they would "go to hell."

I would be willing that if anyone were to start debating Fred Phelps here he would initially come off as extremely knowledgeable on scripture with page after page of Greek words defined by the best scholars, and any time you questioned any obvious glaring error his standard come back would be "I told you thousands of times!" followed by more multi-page posts cut and pasted from various online bibles. . . . .

There would also be liberal use of the SIZE function as well as the COLOR in order to make the posts look more like a ransom note.

And don't forget all the wild smilies just to add extra emphasis to every sentence written...

ILG.. I saw this book at the bookstore, and flipped through it, and read a page or two. I couldn't hardly stomach it, and so, I didn't buy it. Maybe I need to, and just read this poor girl's story.

As long as people are warned there should be no problems. After all, I posted an episode of Penn & Tellers bull**** episode a while back which dealt with gun control.

"Properly warned, be thee, says I."

I wasn't suggesting it be taken down... just attached a stronger warning... Yikes!
