the previous program about Most Hated Family is on Virgin On Demand, watched it again last night. Apart from their scary/hateful/horrible acts, I'd forgotten how intelligent the members actually are. Felt sorry for the very young kids, carrying the signs which Louis then proves they don't understand, and the older kids, who know they don't, and won't have a "normal" life.

Looking forward to hearing from the ones that left, exactly how and why they did it, and to see if the remaining members acknowledge them or not.

I watched the original program sometime ago and yea, they seem like generally intelligent people, just completely brain washed.

I'm surprised they've "only" had tyres slashed, given how proud American families are of their military, I'm surprised nothing more serious has happened at these funeral picketings.

To be brain washed you need brains, and to quote Blackadder talking to Baldrick "They don't have enough brains to cover a water biscuit.

They actually came across as quite intelligent people. Just because someone believes something most people find objectionable, does not mean they are unintelligent. I believe they are brainwashed, but not stupid.

The foul mouthed daughter is a lawyer, she is the reason the Supreme Court decided in their favour when some one sued them for picketing funerals.

watched them on tv last night :td:
its frightening what people can believe with the help of the "GOOD " book and a little imagination .

every thing they believe is written in scripture [they say ] so its what God wants .

wow, that was scary. Again for the most part they seem intelligent, more brain washing seemed more obvious, not just for the kids. Parents of those that had left were weird. One case of "towing the corporate line", and the other, clearly hiding something, too confused/afraid to say what was on their mind.

Felt sorry for those that were booted out, hopefuly they'll realise it's for the best.

Some very odd and awkward moments as well, not letting Louis alone to speak to certain members etc.

I'm sorry but using some of their language, would say otherwise.
