Oh Diana, I am SO sorry. I did research on that church/family once and it is REALLY creepy, sort of a cult thing. Fred Phelps is incredibly abusive and really has some psychological issues. He has even said that he is the only one worthy of God's love. Two of his sons left his church and family and the Phelps basically disowned them and said they are going to hell. Horrible people...
 All of them are lawyers too and will sue anyone they want for practically any reason. They are rich because of lawsuits...

What a disgusting thing to do to that poor grieving family. It shouldn't be allowed. These people are mourning the loss of a loved one and then have to deal with intruders with their own agenda. Why can't they do it some place else. Morons!!!

I haven't heard anything about what went on. My daughter will probably have some info when she gets home from work. I really hope that they didn't come. It's really not fair to the family.

I was wrong about when the funeral is. It's this morning and our city officials have asked the community to come out and show our support so I'm getting ready to go to town. I'll try to take some pictures and tell you about it when I get back. Pray that everything stays peaceful.

They were going to do that when one of our local boys died in Iraq - but our community fought back!!
We contacted the Patriot Guard(a motorcycle group comprised of veterans) and they attended the funeral in force - we then started an email campaign and put flyers in every store we could think of. We had less than a week to work with - but over 700 members of the community, and about 100 Patriot Guard lined the route from the funeral home to the cemetary. We all held American flags - there was no room for the protesters and the police, (fearing for the safety of those whackos), escorted them all away from the funeral. It takes a little work - but a community can pull together and do the right thing for a fallen soldier. http://www.wickedlocal.com/homepage/x997379030 |
