Officials with the Orlando Police Department confirmed on Thursday afternoon that the group was Florida-bound, citing a letter from the church.

And I continue to be amazed that nobody has sued them for every cent they have. Any jury, anywhere, would certainly rule against these Westboro people.

They are Baptists, independent and fundamental; they look to the Bible and the Baptist creeds as their authority; and they protest against almost anyone with other beliefs.

Are they actually Baptists or impostors? They are trial lawyers trying to bait a city into violating their "constitutional rights" so they can $ue the bejeebers out of them.
Seriously. It's what they do.

They’re not Baptists, they’re not fundamentalists, and their not Christian. They are a bunch of haters on fire of hell!

thank you for hitting the head of the nail. These rats do more to make queers look good than the local queer parade. They also make Christians look very bad. It is indeed a contrived false flag. or should we say, false fag?

These ahoes do more damage to you and I than can be accurately measured. A lot of atheistic and agnostic young adults believe they are typical of “right wing Christians”. They are what, a dozen or so, financed and organized by seriously disturbed people.

You are 100% correct, but for some reason FReepers insist on talking about them as if they ARE a church.

How much Soros money is flowing into this “Baptist Church”, I wonder?
The Baptists need to sue them for copyright infringement.
To: Cecily
Fine, let them run into the current crop of protesters out there who won’t give a damn about being sued.

I am surprised no one has flung body fluids at them.
People at soldier’s funerals are in too much grief and too dignified, but surely WBC has made themselves obnoxious on other occasions.
