I’ll bet Midland Care Hospice is highly annoyed that their name came out in connection with Phelps. I hope they don’t get any fallout because of it.

I agree with their foundational message, that God is judging our nation because of our descent into depravity. I can certainly understand their frustration that our nation bows to the sins of abortion, adultery and homosexuality, to the exclusion of obedience to God. The simple formula is that God blesses obedience and punishes disobedience. So they are a Godly group of folks who only stepped over the line when they picketed military funerals, is that it?

Where do we get to protest his funeral? Lots of loud bikers might help.

Anyone care to enlighten me as to the circumstances of his excommunication? I don't think anyone knows for sure. Supposedly he either got the boot for advocating a knder and gentler Westboro or he was kicked out for pounding his pud. Considering he was 84 and by all accounts completely senile I have my doubts on either version being the truth.
To: MrB
I’ve heard that he had begun to moderate slightly in his old age, which offended the more zealous, leading to “excommunication.”
I’ve also heard that he was caught masturbating, apparently in church, which the church equates with Onanism and homosexuality, leading to “excommunication.”
Given his age and health, I’d tend to lend credence to the first, with the second being a scurrilous tale spread by his own former zealots to further discredit the man.
But, I really don’t know. I hope he realized the error of his ways, repented and received forgiveness of his sins before he died.
To: DoodleDawg
I believe he was about as “Christian” as the “Reverend” Jim Jones.

I believe he was about as Christian as the Reverend Jim Jones. There are a lot of people who believe in God and who profess to being Christian, but who pervert scripture to their own sick purposes. Doesn't make them atheists, just misgiuided souls who will learn the error of their ways in His own good time.

I have read that the “playing with his ding-a-ling” story is false, made from the hijacked Twitter account of one of his daughters.
The other story is more credible. They were going to discipline a female church member for something and he advocated “taking it easy” on her. That hacked off the ‘church council’ and they gave him “the left foot of fellowship” from among them.

Phelps will be able to warm himself by the still burning Teddy Kennedy grease fire.
