In scanning the article, no one knows...or is saying...why Phelps was ex-communicated from his own church. The "church family" is being mum about it. No mention of Fred's condition is being made on their website.

I have seen posts from gay and lesbian people saying they should picket the funeral by the thousands, holding banners that say "We Forgive You".

What say you?

I say leave them alone and I’ll pray that Phelps finds God for real before he goes.

Matthew 6:5-6 “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners [a]so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Supposedly Phelps has Alzheimer's and has been demented for years. Not sure what he could have done under those conditions for his kids to boot him from his church.

Turnabout is fair play.

I hope he finds his peace with God. It doesn’t appear he had any in life.

I don’t agree with picketing any funeral. Fred did it and I thought his actions were classless. They should try to be un-Fred-like.

“They’ve been a symbol for many years of the religion-based animosity against the LGBT community...”

Only because it is often conveniently ignored that this group is a fake church made up of a family of lawyers. Fred Phelps was a crusading civil rights attorney who, in middle age, decided to get a divinity degree, open his own church, and goad people into violating his civil rights so his family law firm, I mean “church” could sue the hell out of ‘em.

To say nothing of his very liberal politics and campaign donations, and his campaigning for Al Gore.

But, hey, when you can’t find a real example of bigoted Christians to hate, make up your own caricature of a hate group and that’ll be close enough for most people.

The pack of wolves decided that their “alpha” had grown sick and weak and so turned on him.

He didn’t picket “gay and lesbian” funerals. He picketed the funerals of fallen soldiers.

If it was really about homosexuality he would have protested at Heath Ledger’s burial.

Wouldnt it be ironic if Westboro protested at his funeral?

Westboro Baptist is not a church, nor are any of its followers Christians. The church label is just part of the scam. They are a liberal hate group who call themselves a church for the tax relief and as a means of attacking Christians whom they despise.

They are phonies and everything that they do is phony.

Bill Maher: God Is a ‘Dick’ And a ‘Psychotic Mass Murderer’ By: Tim Graham | March 16, 2014, 08:43 ET

At the end of Friday’s Real Time With Bill Maher, HBO’s sneering star uncorked another tirade against God and the Bible. His unbelieving guests – including Seth MacFarlane and Andrew Sullivan – yucked it up alongside him.

The smug atheist is already hating the forthcoming movie “Noah,” first that so many “stupid” Americans believe in the story, and second, if you believe that, then God is our world’s most psychotic mass murderer:

Fred Phelps is the example of how to be wrong, against those who are wrong.
