I wished that Phelps would get rid of the word “Baptist” from the name of his church. Every “Baptist” I know, and I am Baptist, is frothing mad at Phelps and his church and wish they would shut up and go away.
I am from Tucson but am currently deployed. I would be there to stand between him and her funeral if I could be.
What a putz.
Bump!
IIUC, the Baptists don't have a central authority which could eject Westboro and strip it of use of the name?
They were quite aware of what they were doing falsely labeling themselves as “Baptist”. A sorry, worthless cult trying to make themselves sound legitimate and try to throw a bad light on a real church. It ticks me off and I’m not Baptist! I’ll tell you what, if they don’t change, payback is going to be a real b@$%*.
God be with you during your deployment (and always, of course).
