I refer to anyone who leads this cult. That includes Phelps and any "elders" who've brainwashed their children, spouses, or whom ever follows these sick individuals. Just as with Jeffers (the Mormon arrested for arranging the rape of underage girls), the "leaders" of these cults deserve seven fold the misery they inflict upon their followers.
I agree with all of that, of course. When I spoke of my desire to see them hurt badly, I was thinking specifically of Phelps and his fugly wife (or daughter. ...whoever it is that usually makes the talk show rounds).

From what I have read about this group, there is no plurality of elders who meet the qualifications listed by the apostle Paul in the epistles of 1 Tim and Titus. Indeed, Fred's abusive behavior disqualifies him. The Westboro group is a sad example of the danger the apostle Paul warned the Ephesian elders in Acts 20. Paul's description, "savage wolves," is a quite apt description of Phelps. The "Chief Shepherd" will take care of business. Ezekiel has dire warnings for elders who abuse the sheep.
