Rev Fred Phelps near death

[Hatz]

What's this about him being excommunicated from his church by his family?

 

I think it was his son that was excommunicated. His son was the source for the article I believe.

Weird. So has the guy actually died yet?

Maybe it will be like this eventually

It is my hope that his guy is not right in the head and is not completely culpable of what he says and does. The problem then is, how do you explain the rest of the church? Weak minded people who he has brain washed? I hope so.

 

Phelps was actually a very good Civil Rights attorney and fought very hard for equal rights for black people at times when it wasn't popular. These were many years ago and he appears to have went off the deep end since, but ironically enough, he did a lot for civil rights at one time.

I also find it ironic that representatives from the family are asking for "privacy".
