They are in it for the money as much as anything - they have there own legal group which sues every time they dont get to picket - and the legal group gets paid out of public funding for the representation regardless of whethere or not they are succesful - now you know how they can afford to do it
My heart goes out to the families who have lost their loved ones. I am thoroughly disgusted and infuriated by the incomprehensibly hateful behavior of the Westboro Baptist Church. I was so shocked and bewildered by their behavior, I did some onine searching about them. It's hard to believe a group this twisted exists. Thankfully, in my search, I also discovered a wonderful group of individuals opposing the Westboro hate group. Check out the Patriot Guard: http://www.patriotguard.org/ Consider giving them your support in memory of the Stout students and all the others who've been victims of Westboro's hate campaign.
Religion has gotten way out of hand, and this proves it. These people should have been picked up for harrassment. Where did these people get the money to travel here? My only wish is that people like these would read the Bible themselves, rather than having someone read it them. And then tell them what it means. As adults they should be able to figure out what the Bible means all by themselves. In the past few years, Religion has came to equal, government, sex, greed, and power. Just opposite of what it is suppose to do. Just look at the Bible thumpers in Texas. I am so happy the students at Stout, ran them kooks out of town. Hopefully, those kind will think twice the next time they want to come to Wisconsin.
Great job of the Stout students to stand up against those heathens. Did any one read what their web site is? These are ignorant inbred morons and should be watched closely.
From doing some checking online, they seem to be a cult, much like the "JonesTown" cult, that does everything they are told as they believe it to be the "word of god". You know, I think it would be really fun to show up at their "church" and protest them! See how they like it when their service is disrupted by people causing a specticle. We should be afforded the same protection from the law that they are. I mean, on student is arrested for grabbing one of their signs, but they aren't given any kind of citation for say tresspassing or anything else they could find?
Human rulership has proved to be a failure, well symbolized by the number 666. Notice their flyer says they're coming from Kansas 66604. “If anyone makes the statement: ‘I love God,’ and yet is hating his brother, he is a liar.” (1 John 4:20) Jesus even said: “Continue to love your enemies.” (Matthew 5:44) True Religion . . . PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display ‘love among themselves.’ (John 13:35; 17:16; Acts 10:34, 35)
these people at this supposed "church" are an obvious waste of space and a and a nuisance to our society... geez, what is next... oh, maybe they'll protest the rescue of 400 children from that polygamist compound in texas
Did you read their nonsense press release? They don't even make any sense... I wouldn't worry about anything they have to say... either they are brainwashed or on some kind of drugs...
I can not beleive some one would be so sick to say some thing like the protester's did. We are so sad of what happened to these family's. Those young people had a life ahead of them and and just taken away from there family's. They say what goes around comes around. So sad to think people could do some thing like this at a time like this. Our prayers are with the family's. Way to go Stout young people.
It sickens me to have people like that show up and say such hateful things about 3 wonderful young people who did nothing wrong. I am proud of the students for running them off. We live in a country that allows freedom of speech, but when is too much, and for them to pretend to be talking for God. How scary! Our thoughts and real prayers go out to the families of these kids and to the Stout students for standing up for what is right. Don't these people have anything better to do then show up to hurt people, and to protest our solders like that is very sick. None of us like the war, but because of what our solders are doing it allows idiot people like them to go around the country and say the horrible things they say. Sad isn't it?
Westboro Baptist Church is classified as a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. While its members identify themselves as Baptists, the church is an independent church not affiliated with any know Baptist convention's or associations. Know that God is love and that these people hide behind their ignorance. Look them up, almost all of their protests show that they are hiding behind signs and scarves etc... as to not be identified. Hmmmm......I wonder why they are hiding? There is comfort in knowing that God can see them and He will punish them accordingly. Solace in Christ. My prayers go out to all who have been touched by this terrible tragedy. God help those ignorant members of this cult.
I think this group missed big chunks of the Bible. I remember reading something about casting stones.
I am concerned about the negative message that this has left our area with. WBC has chosen "Baptist" as their affiliation. Please know that in any case God does not hate the sinner, he embraces the sinner with love, it is the sin that is hated. My heart is pierced by this group of protestors, it has put all believers on the defense. I pray for the families of all who have been affected by this protest, please know that God is love and that by prayer and submission to Him we will receive comfort. God Bless to all who stood up to these blasphemous protesters who felt that they work protesting in the name of God, shame on them for desecrating the word and love of God.
How sad that our world has come to this! My heart goes out to the families and friends of these 3 students. Way to go Stout students for standing up to these SICK people! That they have the "right" to protest like this makes me sick to my stomach!
The Stout students should be very proud of themselves! Growing up in a small community God has still been a part of my life and the God I know would not hate anybody. These protester are very sick individuals that HATE life, it's so sad too see that there are these types of people in the world. I would not want to be one of them. My heart goes out to these families. And again WAY TO GO STOUT STUDENTS!!!!
