What's the probability that Fred Phelps has powerful homosexual urges? 95%? 99.9%?

Whatever it is, it's less than the probability that he habitually beat the everliving [censored] out of his wife and kids (i.e. 100%)

i wish there were more former marines with sniper rifles sitting on rooftops just to kill these guys.

All,

"Phelps does not permit Westboro members to marry persons outside the church."

Given the makeup of the church, that's sorta creepy. OK. About to watch parts 3-7.

Didnt see the documentary yet, but planning to do so soon. FWIW I've seen a lot of Louis Theroux documentaries and every one of them I liked a lot. His curious, respectful style, but with him still asking the right confronting questions after earning his subjects' trust really seems to work for me. He did a whole series of strange American subcultures (porno, bodybuilding, black panthers, rednecks, etc.) called 'Louis Theroux' weird weekends'. Check it out...

I am a Christian and that is the most disturbing thing I have seen in years -

having watched all 7 parts, I need a shower -

might be kinda fun to join up for a bit, marry one of the hotties, then bail - technically, they can't divorce you - LOL -

I liked the interviewer - reminded me of the foul mouthed british commentator on the Daily Show - gotta think the girls were getting just a bit turned on by his geekish charm - tsk tsk - no coffeeshop for you - LOL

and yet, they have no problem working side by side with sinners and going to school with them - innerestin.

I would have liked to see interviews with some who have fallen away though. I bet Fred Sr. has some interesting demons in his closet.

poor kids though, poor poor kids. I feel so bad for them.

After watching the first video I couldn't stop until I watched all 7...
WOW, those people are under some serious distortions.
They always talk about "Gods hate" or wrath, whatever you want to call it, BUT they never once mention anything about the other side of what the bible says God is.
Last I remember the bible said something like God is love. Stories about forgiveness and/or the prodigal son etc.. are probably deleted and overlooked from their "beliefs/scripture".

Not that of Louis Theroux did a bad job by any means, I just was hoping he would have brought something along those lines up...

Great and insightful documentary though (like most of Louis Theroux documentaries have been).

Re: The Most Hated Family in America - Westboro Church/Cult
 

"theyre just downright mean to us sometimes. what did we do to them? nothing but a courtesy".

wow.

Re: The Most Hated Family in America - Westboro Church/Cult
 

Anyone else think they're just painfully stupid as opposed to being bad people?

Re: The Most Hated Family in America - Westboro Church/Cult
 

how about both? i kinda secretly hope that im the only one thinking how quickly we could make our world much better by strapping a ton of c4 to their church while its in session and running?
