My brother-in-law in a Baptist minister and I just called my sister and told her about this so-called Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Ks and their radical, disgusting behavior. I asked her if she would have my brother-in-law check into this so-called "Baptist Church".
I think they are using Christians as a cover for their agenda.
Westboro Baptist Church, Topeka, Ks 785-273-0325
If any of you would like to call that number, let us know what their response is.
Their attitude represents a bizzare twist on the Christian Faith that's for sure...
HEADS UP: Just google in Westboro Baptist Church or Rev. Fred Phelps and you will find out all you need to know about this group.
They are GAY-HATERS and haters of all who have anything to do with them. It said they protested the funerals of people who died with AIDS and they detest the Miitary (gay policy), Presidents Bush, Clinton & Reagan. Phelps & his groups' most famous protest was the funeral of Matthew Shepherd, the gay 2l year old who was beaten to death in 1998. It said they had held some 20,000 protests.
Other churches in Kansas are embarrassed by Phelps behavior, but they do not know anything they can do about him. He has been behaving like this since the 1960's. He is 72 years old and has about 100 members.
I just called my sister back and told her to forget about her preacher husband checking into the church, because they are just a bunch of NUTS!
