Who funds this so called church?

[madprof98]

It seems to me that this is one case where vigilante justice would be real justice. Somebody needs to shut these people down.

I think lawsuits fund the “church”.

[TruthConquers]

I don’t know, but they are just EVIL.

Would church records being a special tax exempt organization, be public?

And aren’t they engaging in politics with their stance, which isn’t allowed under the tax exemption?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep. It’s a ‘family’ made up of lawyers.

[butterdezillion]

Do they ever have actual services or Bible studies? I wonder if people can picket when their “services” or “Bible studies” are going on. I bet we could come up with a lot of people who would love to give them a dose of their own medicine.

[AppyPappy]

I think Westboro finally stepped pushed a little too hard.

“It’s a beautiful, poetic thing”

So is a 6 pattern in the 9 ring from 50 ft.

Oh...for the return to the days when dueling was at least quasi legal...

Phelps from the Westboro Baptist
Church. There is no question which
side of the aisle Fred Phelps stands on.

[AppyPappy]

It’s not a church.

[PetroniusMaximus]

The odd thing is... there actually ARE sins that God hates.

Homosexuality/sodomy are some of the ones, historically speaking, that have received the strongest rebuke from the God of the Bible.

Remember Sodom & Gomorrah?

Just saying...

[y6162]

I thought BOR promised to pay the court costs.

Big jerk will probably welsh.

[RichInOC]

To turn the line from “Goodfellas” inside out...

“Pay you? **** me!”

[MeganC]

“Who funds this so called church?”

I say we just blame George Soros.

[Outlaw Woman]

The article said that BOR will pay it. Then the Westboro lawyer said they’d be willing to ‘barter’ the amount in exchange for ‘airtime’ on his show; he refused.

Do they ever have actual services or Bible studies?

My guess is that mammon is the only god these heathens worship.

[brytlea]

Yes, and it’s hard to believe they make enough in lawsuits to fund all that they do, but maybe. I agree they are evil. It’s hard to imagine they aren’t mixing into politics tho. I wonder if they have an actual church?

[skeeter]

Anyone have a address for Mr Snyder? I'd like to send him a donation.

In the meantime, I'll pray for someone to punch either Mr or Mrs Phelps in the nose. Now THAT would be beautifully poetic.
