Re: Westboro Funeral Pickets Are Protected Speech
I would like to tell you that I am so spirutual I only have love for the Westboro Baptist church folks. However what I have is probably a little of both rightous and unrightous indignation.
Those folks have done more harm to true Christians than just about anything the devil directly does. I say directly because I have not doubt Satan is using this group for his purposes.
There are only a few groups of people that I would not feel badly if some horrific accident happened to them that wiped them off the face of the earth. This is one of those groups. Certainly my first wish is that they repent and become true Christians. In lieu of that I would be just fine if their van ran off a 1,000 foot cliff and they could see the Jesus they profess to serve as quickly as possible and learn the error of their ways. These people are evil incarnate.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
