The Dove outreach center supported the Westboro psuedobaptist protest of soldier funerals.

What one of the leaders of Jones’ “Dove Outreach Center” has to say about the Westboro loons:

“Westboro Baptist is not anti-military or anti-USA. Rather the opposite, actually. Do some research. They go to funerals because the Bible says that a fallen soldier is a sign of God’s wrath and a reminder of the condition of this world, a fallen world, in sin. We all know that. None of us want to fight wars. We have to, and we honor the fallen for their sacrifice, but funerals are also a chance to repent and get our lives right with God before our own comes along.

The soldier who is already dead knows what’s coming, whether they are in heaven or hell. I think they would be glad for the extra reminder to loved ones that they still have time to make a choice and use the rest of their time given here for God rather than wasting it, in a spiritual sense.”

And yes, loons can be right some of the time, and wrong some of the time too.

Thank you for that info. I was unaware that one of Jones’ “flock” made such statements. The WBC loons are in a class by themselves, though they have many hangers-on. It is more than unfortunate that anyone would align themselves in the disruption and dishonoring of our fallen warriors.
