oh I’m sure they will be well armed with their own cameras to record who they will sue later.
This is how they operate.
Do people really think these bozos give a crap about their “faith”???

They need funds - so they provoke people into a court case.

If this were a Christian church, they would be preaching the doctrine from the Bible about how one goes to heaven or hell, and not opining on matters that may have transpired between man and God they have no insight into. They could condemn the man’s known acts but not the man — insufficient information is available at present for the latter.

These kooks presume to be Old Testament style prophets, but ones that can peg a person’s eternal destiny (except in a few cases to confirm that it was heaven) would be foreign to Old Testament doctrines.

Nor I.

What I don’t get is how he lived with himself all those years knowing what Sandusky did.

I know men love their football but damn don’t they have a conscience?

"What I don’t get is how he lived with himself all those years knowing what Sandusky did."

Thank you for bringing up the big question.
I think I have the answer.

It would interrupt his power and tarnish his image.
The man was a king.
He thought this would all just go away.
In short, his ego took over.

it is one family headed by a twisted mentally ill man.

This is no faith quest - this is a scam.
This is how they raise funds.

Choose an emotionally charged crowd and incite them with hateful provoking signs and chants.
Make sure your camera guy is ready to get all the action recorded.

Bring the footage with you to court to help you win another case.

It has been rumored that to become a deacon in Fred's "church" you must be a lawyer.

Administrators of rural cemeteries go to great lengths to protect the protesters from Westboro.

The administrators work with local law enforcement to establish a safe area (roped off ) where LEOs stand on guard to protect the protesters. The roped off area just happens to be out of sight and out of hearing of the family of the deceased.

According to what I have been told it works. They rarely if ever show up if they can't be seen or heard.

People in rural areas do have their ways of handling things like Westboro.

You said “they.” So, apparently, as judge and jury, you’ve determined Joe’s family is also guilty.
