That's a shame...

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs

I think he was being sarcastic.

That second link is HILARIOUS haha.

haha the "god loves his silky smooth legs" HAHA.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

I am amazed that they still have a church to promote their crap from. There must be a shop that sells bottles, A local petrol station and a cigarette shop that sells matches. How much would it take ;)

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Yes that's how to deal with people who have views you oppose, petrol bomb them :rolleyes:

I find their actions as repugnant as anyone else but being as intolerant as them and even potentially killing them makes people just as bad as they are.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

I agree, people who can't agree with it should just ignore it and move along.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

i guess Rabid Bible bashing intolerant hate mongers aren't popular , except with other Rabid Bible bashing intolerant hate mongers, serves them right for being
Rabid Bible bashing intolerant hate mongers .
park safely now ;)

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Whom exactly are you calling rabid Bible bashing intolerant hate mongers in the sentence above?:confused: I hope you don't mean Russ because I find him pretty tolerant over all.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

members of the Westboro Baptist Church .

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

papa smurf: "Rabid Bible bashing intolerant hate mongers "
Westboro Baptist: "Hey, who you callin' rabid?"

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Personally where the Phelps are concerned it's nothing to do with religion but instead their own racist and homophobic viewpoint.

In this country it wouldn't be allowed but the 1st amendment allows it in America :(

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Kymmy at one point they did want to start picketting in the UK but were refused entrance to the UK.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Yes, which is why I said it wouldn't be allowed.. It's not freedom of religion they're practising it's just plain old hatred of things they think is against religion.

Tolerance is one thing, but allowing people to use religion as an excuse to break the law should never happen.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

picketing is one thing but to do it at funerals is just antagonistic and down right insensitive - what did they think would happen? must have known that it would happen sometime just surprised it hadn't happened sooner.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

:LOL:

These are the bankers that Louis Theroux met

What the people should do is form a human shield against these **** at every funeral they try to protest.

Personally I would get a few brick house friends and take the signs from them and burn them.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Who in their right mind would ever want to become affiliated with such a hateful group of people?
Indoctrinating children with their vile views is tantamount to child abuse in my book...

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

The best bet is surely to do what the Yanks in the second link did and ridicule them through their own chosen medium of signs. I don't think attacking them will help, as extreme groups like this tend to thrive on adversity and hatred.

Indeed it is.....

Its sad now CHURCHS are being hit with stuff like this also :(


Lets hope the idiots are found!

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Either you don't understand sarcasm or you actually support the actions of this very stupid family and have no respect for your fellow servicemen and women currently losing their lives in Afghanistan? Or have you completely misread the story as usual?

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

From a Christian perspective, I don't know anyone in real life or from the Christian forums I frequent who supports their view. I can identify the message they're trying to give but IMO they are going about it completely the wrong way and instead of preaching a message of love, peace and tolerance they give off an aura of hate. I've got no doubts their elders know more about the Bible than I but I could never agree with their actions which I feel are just short of terrorism.

That said, I don't agree with vigilante against them. Denying them service because of their views.....what if service was denied tio someone because they were actively pro-gay rights?

This sort of thing will give them more ammuniton and will probably make them 'fight' harder.

As has been previously mentioned they need to be ignored. They trade in shock value - cutting off their supply of attention will be far more effective.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Russ, i do remember reading something about the nutball that started the church. One of his "Idols" so to speak who he has apparently refurred to a few times was also homosexual but he has never mentioned this.

Im sorry Maggy,i mean its sad someone would do this to anyone (Slashing thier tires) i cant stand all the evilness and hatred in this world......



I guess i misread the story,ill back out of this thread :(

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Just read the backstory in future Dude.. The fact that you are Christian enough to deplore the behaviour of slashed tyres does you credit,but do remember what this group does is very disrespectful to the dead and to the families whom have lost precious loved ones.However strongly one feels against the Iraq war is no reason to behave this way at a funeral.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Louis Theroux was on One Show today plugging a follow up to his scary/interesting documentary from a few years ago about Westboro Baptist Church.

http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsSe...s_fullpage.jsp

He said that they`ve seen his original documentary, so now he`d featured in their hate campaign! he also said some of the family saw his documentary, and have since left the organisation and wanted to talk to him about his, saying he was part of the reason for them leaving.

We really like Louis Theroux, kind of miss his old material which was lighter, fluffier, and funny for the right reasons, rather than the more recent scary ones!

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Really looking forward to it!

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Adam someone did try bombing them a few years ago.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

Why did i not find that surprising.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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 .

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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.

Re: Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs
 

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