http://www.kwch.com/news/kwch-jcg-westboro-leader-quits-and-apologizes-for-churchs-activities-20130206,0,4888133.story Kinda shocking that she decided to do something like this considering the very cult like nature of the organization. It's good to see that perhaps these people are waking up and realizing that what they are doing is hateful and completely against the christian faith as well as basic humanity. I hope she does something more worthy of praise with her new freedom.
Wow! That's going to be a great book. This is something both sides can agree on in this forum, Westboro are scum.
Interesting that a lady leaving a church is a current event but none the less here we are... Dont like west boro or whatever they call themselves , I'm assuming that's the god hates (*)(*)(*)(*) people ? Stupid (*)(*)(*)(*) ... But I absolutely agree with their right to be public goons .
I have nothing against their freedom of speech, its the fact that they make a point of traumatizing the families of dead soldiers. In my opinion that should not be protected speech, its would fall into the same category as fighting words.
Good for them......see, one can shed the dangerous bonds of collectivist conditioning and groupthink... (maybe they'll look into becoming teachers or administrators in our government school system....)
Thank God that at least one of them has come to realize the stupidity of what the Westboro scum do...
good for her, I wish more people in that "church" would wake up to reality. Too much hate in the world already without those used pieces of toilet paper adding to it
That's great! She & her sister Grace were born and raised in this environment of hatred and this is proof that if a person has the right stuff in them, within time they'll recognize how wrong it is and break away... I had read some of the book "Addicted to Hate" about the Phelps family and 2 of Phelps sons left home, breaking off all ties - Phelps kids were raised in a home of horrific beatings by their dad and a mother who was never there to protect them.... Knowing the twisted hatred in that family, I hope Meghan & her sister can move on, living a good life w/o any retaliation and abuse from that cult....
i guess.... I just think americans standards of news has gone down the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing (*)(*)(*)(*) hole. It has zero impact on any ones life besides the lady who left, and people leave churches all the time. Who knows, she could be joining some other cult church... but big (*)(*)(*)(*)ing deal?
Apparently you never paid any attention to them whereas the rest of the country did. They would show up at a soldier's funeral w/their filthy, vile signs to harass the soldier's families and it got to the point where a motorcycle club was formed called the Patriot Guards to run a buffer zone b/t the family and the cult cockroaches...... No one burying their dead should have to put up w/that unconscionable crap, but b/c of the 1st amendment, the cockroaches got by w/it.....
Yes, it is,,,, and I wish the very best to these 2 young women who have finally wised up to the hatred & ugliness they were born into and now want to escape from it....... But they'll probably have a rough time of it b/c of who they're turning their backs on....... I really can't imagine Fred & the rest of his cult wishing them best wishes w/hugs and kisses of goodbye.......
I disagree, all speech should be okay. Even if it's the most dispicable and offensive. Free speech is free speech...
