Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

 

The thing about Westboro though, is they come at you in wolf clothing!

I learned more about this hate group from this link. Thanks Bugatti.

 

I am just amazed that someone filled with so much hate has read the same Bible that I have read. I was never taught to hate like this and feel sad for the children of these folks. How miserable they must be to be filled with so much hate.

 

The dangers of picking and choosing Scriptures. They pick and choose to believe the Scriptures that they feel justifies their personal thoughts and beliefs and ignore the ones that do not.

 

You have to take Scripture as a whole not just the ones that make you feel good with the world view you want to have.

The problem is that many people take the Bible apart and use what they feel fits them and their actions.

^^"Many people". No one does it in the way these folks do it. God does hate sin, wants man not to have sin, but man does. Like I said they have money due to the many lawyers in the family, and that also helps in their court cases.

 

To think God punishes America due the Gay stand is a joke. Just reading their signs shows that there is a huge mistake in their reading scripture wrong.

 

Someday, every knee will bow, every tongue will confess before Jesus, not some, but every. I once quoted this passage to them and they said they have no problem in their judgement, then I gave then Luke 16:19

I do know they came to London to picket at the funeral of a young marine who had died overseas. A group of motorcyclists (Freedom Riders or something along those lines) showed up to ensure that there were no issues and that the family was left alone. The presence of these riders was very much appreciated and the Westboro group opted to be very discreet.

 

More than likely the Patriot Guard Riders were among the motorcyclists you saw. Our goal is not to confront these lunatics, but to create a shield for the family and loved ones of the deceased, while showing our heartfelt thanks to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We feel it is the least we can do, after all they have done for us.

Now, they're going to show up at Ronnie James Dio's memorial service. Westboro to protest at Dio service

I am honored to be on the same board as you! What you are doing is a wonderful thing!!!

I just can't understand these people. Not being in favor of what our country is doing over seas is one thing, but the way the do it makes me sick. Ruining loving family members last goodbyes with a person is outrageous. I can add this Phelps guy to my list of famous people that deserve a nice kick to the throat.

I am so surprised that this group hasn't been attacked and suffered casualties. I really think they should go the middle east and protest the muslims there...

I watched the video that was on the page with the link (the BBC piece) and it really made me sick to my stomach. I am a very easy going guy, but I couldn't help getting angry while watching.

 

 

 

 

Its crazy how some people still view rock musicians. Just because your in a metal band doesn't mean your back stage doing satanic rituals. The article talks about how Ronnie James Dio got what he deserved for promoting evil and popularizing the devil horn sign. It was not Dio's intent to do so, but rather just kind of became his trademark. In a documentary I seen where Dio was talking about his grandmother (or mother one I forgot) and she was from like Sicily or something like that. Anyway he said that was a sign she used to use, meant something like keeping evil away, or giving something off, not sure. But he said he just started doing that on stage and it stuck.

How does this bunch get by with masquerading as a "Baptist Church"?

I'm sorry but in my opinion freedom of speech shouldn't extend this far... I know I'll probably get blasted for stating my opinion(freedom of speech) but there is no place for this kind of garbage and it shouldn't be accepted.
