This is chilling and disgusting. The state should step in. These parents are unfit!

Poor Lauren. I salute her. She is truly a brave woman.
This just made my night more depressing.
I'm glad she stood up for her beliefs and has made a life for herself as a nurse.

I loved the shot of her walking up the bridge. I thought I would like to be her friend.
Every once in a while Iink to this article that was going to run in a newspaper that ended up being killed by the editor. Somehow it found its way where it wasn't supposed to go: online.
It's a deep background investigation of all things Phelps, and it's profoundly depressing. I remember as I started reading it I was thinking "I will finally know the true story of these monsters," and instead I ended up feeling kinda hopeless and really sad.
But if you really wanna know and not just presume, it's a must-read:
Addicted to Hate
I cried.. These people break my heart... They are so wrong..

It's not about you or your heart.
It's sad that they spend so much time hating other people, all because of some invisible genie in the sky.
Thanks for the article Namo. Truly terrifying and depressing as all hell.

I'm about halfway through the article. I figured since I was already brooding over the oil spill and other global and personal disasters that now was as a good a time as any, but Jesus. I'll have to finish the rest tomorrow because I honestly can't take any more.
These people claim to be following the bible but they apparently have skipped over the teachings of Christ. They would spit and hate on Jesus if he walked the earth today. These people actually think they got a one way ticket to heaven and all others will burn in hell. I think when their day comes and they meet their maker and find themselves being judged, they are in for one hell of a shock.That daughter forgiving them and feeling sad for their ignorance is the only sign of Christianity I have seen so far from the Phelps family.
Romantico, I agree
FindingNamo, there is no need to be a jerk. Your hate for me is just as bad as WBC hate against the world. Hate is hate.
That is some scary sh*t.
Annas, you have expressed your homophobia on these boards many a time. Any dislike for you is your own fault.
I have apologized for anything that may have come off as homophobic because I am not. It is your choice whetter to accept it and forgive me or hold it against me.
Annas, you posted a disgusting video on Facebook that everyone here saw because you posted a link to it. It would have fit right in with Fred Phelps so this outrage of yours is nothing more than theater.It's not up to anyone here to forgive you but you can't ask us all to forget about your views and the things you have said,especially since you used the bible to defend your hate(and some here had to actually correct you on it.) Any hostility you get from posters here you have brought on yourself. If you truly were sorry,you'd just leave it alone and disappear or if anything not comment on subjects like this.
Annas, is this not you?

If you were truly sorry why would you still have this video up on your Facebook? Your phony outrage is a joke.
For those who don't know Annas, I suggest you read his sickening comments on this thread.

You are a liar Annas! Go away!
I find nothing homophobic in that video. Time to back track. Hating me makes you just like him.
I'm still waiting for that crazy closeted queen to explain to us why it's not ok to have slaves. I mean she's had over a year now.
I know. Annas wrote:
"Where does the Bible say Slavery is okay?"
This guy wants to be a pastor and claims this book is the truth yet he knows nothing about it! C'mon! You go to Liberty University! I think you have to be a Homophobe to go there.
All anyone has to do is review your profile Jonathan

You love Broadway and hate women.(LOL)You wouldn't find anything offensive or homophobic now would you? In the Broadway post I linked, you said the following:
"Or you aware what marriage is? Its between a man and a women"
You say the bible is truth. Apparently you feel marriage between two men or women is wrong. Why can't you just tell us all what you feel about homosexuality and gay marriage? I don't hate you, I feel sorry for you. You are a self loathing gay man who wants to be a pastor and open a church in NYC because God has 'called you to it'. You hate women and think they are evil and even say they are the anti-Christ. I think you have some major issues. Oh, and I will give you some friendly advice. You might want to remove your email address and your phone number from your Facebook. IMO,you are just asking for trouble.(that is genuine friendly advice FYI)
On the comments about Women: this is an on going gag between some friends of mine. hahahahahahahaha! If you think I seriously meant it when I said that Women where the antichrist then you are out of it. Not me. :)
The verses about Slavery in the Bible. Most of them are considered old law and we are under the new covinate.
"You are a self loathing gay man". That would be liable. Any harassing phone calls or emails would be just that... harassment.
I have never ever made statements that God hates Homosexuals. If you know my facebook so well, Romantico, you would know that I am against how most Christian treat homosexuals with no love as Jesus would have done. I wrote a note on it if you care to go look.
I have apologized for how and what I said on this board in the past. I regret the way I acted. I don't care if you forgive me or not because I have done all I can do.
Old law, new law...less filling law!

Annas, I couldn't possibly hate you because hating you would actually mean having any feelings about you at all. Which I don't. I don't give a crap about you.
I responded to your post because I knew you were going to make it all about you, and in the subsequent posts you have done just that.
I linked the article I did so that people could get real background not so you could turn it into a show of how you're a real Christian and the Phelpses are not.
That would be you and romantico who choose to make it all about me
All about you? LOL! Just look at some of your videos and comments on your profile. You sound like a poorly written gay character.You can apologize all you want. People can read your posts and see how you really are. You have an excuse for everything Annas. Harassing phone calls? WTF? I actually was giving you some friendly advice. It sounds like, by the few videos I actually could stomach,that you are hated and targeted for your "views". I am not in any way encouraging harassment.
We are all entitled to our opinions,even Fred Phelps. However, you can see Fred has to take responsibility for the things he says. SO do you.Your comments are views may not be as extreme as Phelps but you evade the question on your views but at the same time have no problem telling us all how the bible is truth and God is the only choice and so on.Maybe you don't wish to voice your opinion or views on the subject because you feel they would be unpopular. Who knows. You have shown us all who and what you are and if that is not enough your profile, which you proudly display for all to see,only makes it that much clear.
Oh, and is this the same Liberty University you attend?

I wonder why you are so hated.Your classmates seem so loving and Christian.

Anna's Facebook page is very interesting. He wants to live the way God wants him to live. I don't understand why God doesn't want him to live as someone who spells properly.
As for music, he likes "parts of Rent." The five seconds that aren't about drugs, sex or gay people, I guess. Maybe he likes any part with Benny?
