But the church is not moving to rid the church of these perverts to the pace of those coming in who are sodomites. And why are they being allowed to practice this behavior in full view of the audiance without being taken out of the ministry then and there?...

Actually, the reports I've seen indicate that they are effectively being reduced. Time will tell, though.

It's beyond understanding how the leadership is dragging it's feet on getting this infestation out of the church, when they have the power to do just that!!!

How effective has the SBC been in ridding itself of entities like Westboro Baptist?

No way would I have a kid even attend a Catholic function now...the risk is just to great.

I am a religious education teacher. Our group is as squeaky clean (background checks every year) as is can be, and exactly none of our kids has even hinted about anything. Let's put it this way: I've got five at home now and I would know if anything was going on anywhere.

Westboro Baptist is an independent church, not afiliated with the SBC or any other denominational authority.

What authority would the SBC have over that little 80 member family cult, what relationship do they have?
