[vbhoutex]

Yesyes, yes to both of the last two statements. Chad's and Pburgh's!!!!

[Lindaloo]

God is not vengeful.

As Chad said, they will have to answer for their own actions.

[HurricaneBill]

Isn't Phelps and his cult banned from setting foot in Canada for desecrating the Canadian flag?

[TexasStooge]

Yes.. However the good thing is God DOES know them and when the time comes he will remember them

Well said.

[vbhoutex]

God is not vengeful.

This is what gives me so much comfort when I see "people" like this do the things they do.

[Ptarmigan]

What a bunch of sick hatemongers!!! I don't think they know my God.

They operate in Topeka, which is in Tornado Alley. I wonder why no tornado has not gotten them yet?

[TexasStooge]

I was about to ask the same thing.

His funeral is about to start and the Westboro protesters are doing their thing.

Spokesman for Kansas Church Promises Peaceful Demonstration


Relatives and friends of a 28 year old Port Arthur soldier who was killed In iraq are preparing for his funeral, while Beaumont police and members of a controversial church in Kansas are also making preparations.

Staff Sergeant Edward Reynolds was killed on September 25.

His funeral is Saturday at 2 p.m. at Borden Chapel Baptist Church in Beaumont.

Several members of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, are planning a protest from 1:15 p.m. until just before the service begins, according to Jonathan Phelps, a spokesman for the church.

In a telephone interview on Friday, Phelps told KFDM News eight members of the church will take part in the demonstration.

Church members demonstrate at soldiers' funerals across the nation, to show their opposition to U.S. government policies which they believe condone immorality.

Phelps tells KFDM News the demonstration will be peaceful. He says the protestors will hold signs and sing hymns.

A large crowd that supports Sergeant Reynolds and opposes the Kansas group is expected outside of the church.

There is a narrow road leading to the church, and state law requires the protestors to remain at least five hundred feet away from the church during the funeral service.

Beaumont police say they've set up a plan to ensure the public's safety and prevent any disruptions to the service.

Police encourage anyone who wants to show support for the family to line up at about 3:45 p.m. Saturday on East Lucas, between Bigner and Country Club Lane, to view the procession to the cemetery.

Watch the Weekend Report with Angel San Juan at 6 & 10 Saturday for
coverage of the funeral.

Darn, I wish I could have made it up there to Beaumont this weekend.

As much as I dislike the in-your-faceness of some of the rainbow flag-waving crowd and as shy and reserved as I usually am, I would so love to be right up there face-to-face with one of the girls in his group and bat my eyes and flirt with her until she screams.

I wonder if anyone has ever been able to make part or all of his group turn tail and run....

Some radio host should give them an hour instead of "protesting". Then once they have their time on air, the host leaves them locked in an empty room.

that would be hilarious...ROFLMAO They wouldnt make it in this place...this city sprung up because of the MCAS here...and if it were to leave...this place would become practicely abandoned...so the chances of them making it out of here alive after protesting at a funeral, lets just say the M-16's would be well sighted in

[Lindaloo]

They need to bring their craziness to Mississippi. I dare them.

They'd LOVE it if someone tried...more extended legal challenges, feesa, and appeals all the way to the Federal level.

They are trying to get people IN COURT, and use tort law to their advantage.

Pickets possible at Nisely funeral Monday

October 8, 2006

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church who picketed today's Marshalltown church visitation for Army Staff Sgt. Scott Nisely have yet to apply for a permit to picket Monday, but the group's Web site indicates they may be back.

The Westboro Web site today said members would picket both days. An attorney for the group, however, said they would not picket Monday.

The group justifies its picket of military funerals saying church members believe soldiers dying overseas are the result of God’s punishment for homosexuality in America.
