    I'm not sure what to make of that. I don't like the family either but that seems to be more about revenge.

    Like he said in the article he wants it to stop

    So maybe by winning a large settlement the attempt is to cripple the church financially



    Edit : The Majority of the church members are also lawyers so they know the laws and the games they play and how to get around a lot of laws..except this time they lost

    right, this is the same bunch that protest soldiers' funerals. sick group. :mad:

    Yes.

    Please folks everywhere, this church in Kansas is NOT representative of the churches that sane people attend on Sundays.

    Anyone who calls themselves Christian should condemn this "church." We all have our own sins and crosses to bear.....It isn't Christian to wish hell on anyone. Who do these folks think they are?

    As sad as his is, his death is getting more attention in this city right now then the attacks on women. Sure some poor soul was murdered last week and her face so badly destroyed, her own family can't ID her. But lets talk about Heath.

    good point !

    They really believe what they say, like skinheads, that's the point, they think they're leading us into the future and we're idiots because we don't agree with what they say.

    I think back to when my grandad passed away and the state of mind I was in. Not that my grandad was gay or even if he was that it would matter, but if they would have shown up and disrupted a funeral for him I can honestly say i would have had to of been restrained because i would have beat them all into an inch of their lives.

    I'm sure i would go to jail for it too, but at that moment i would not care.

    People should not fuck with other people when they are mourning.

    yeah if i was attending the funeral of a loved one and that sort of bullshit was going down, i'd so end up in jail.

    what gets me, why aren't these people trying to do good and HELP others, like feed the homeless or something? this sort of nonsense is a waste of time and energy.

    There is/was a documentary on Showtime about the Westboro Baptist Church. Weird stuff.

    I saw an interview with one daugher on Hannity and Colmes once, one of the guys asked her what her sins are. She didn't answer him. I'm not sure if she thinks she is without sin? Or there were too many to list.

    Come to think of it, if my mother passed away, and there were people protesting her funeral, only a bullet would stop me from tackling these people and gowging their eyeballs out.. Fuck them!
  • It's sad that people can be so ugly for the sake of their own personal gain.

    You know I was thinking exactly the same thing and then I read this.

    My grandfather volunteered a lot at North Sydney Catholic church (where Nicole Kidman was married and where my grandfather, grandmother and great aunt had their funeral) Now because my grandfather was a devout Catholic,if someone turned up, I would of beat the fuck out of them. And my cousin would of joined me he is as strong as on ox, and we would of smashed em.

    Below is the article I just read. What a bitch. I hope someone knocks her lights out. and especially the part about "his dead, rotting carcus"


    US church vows to picket Ledger memorial
    An American church plans to picket memorials held for Australian actor Heath Ledger because he played a gay cowboy in the film Brokeback Mountain.

    The Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, says it will protest against any memorial held for Ledger in the United States because the 28-year-old actor supported homosexuals.

    "I'm going to picket him in two places," parishioner Shirley Phelps told Sydney radio station 2Day FM.

    "I'm going to stand outside of any public memorial service that he has here.

    "And then the other place I'm going to picket him is when they prop him up to worship his dead, rotting carcass further at the Oscars. I'll be right outside by the red carpet."

    It is understood Ledger's body will be returned to Perth, where his former school has offered to hold a memorial service.

    The church has ruled out travelling to Australia for the funeral


    Hmmm.....how gay! :)

    Seriously, these religious assholes make me realize just WHY humanity SUCKS....All religions are the enemy...when are people going to come to terms with the fact that they are all wasting their times reading the bible..( it is just a book), praying and killing eachother over a "GOD" that doesn't exist? It is truly scaring the shit out of me!!

    some people just have way too much time to do something like this...let the man rest in peace...
    what is essential is invisible to the eye

    apparently, 07162056 is THE date...
  • These people deserve to have their children taken away from them and be shot in the face. They have no honor. I would feel no sorrow if every single one of them dropped dead right now.
  • I think someone along the line is going to take serious issue with them and either seriously hurt or kill one of them. And in all honesty I doubt there will be much compassion for them. I don't care if they want to hate 'fags' and 'fag-enablers', but inflicting that on a grieving family is disgusting.

    you and i would get along just fine....

    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    You don't know that for sure. :) Religion is a good thing... and the bible is not just a book. It gives some people hope and a reason to better themselves. It's just a shame about the extremists. The Phelps are supposed to be Christians but in my opinion, they're no different from the skinheads I've known. They've gone too far. (I think they're insane and brainwashed by the rest of the family).
    I don't agree with the families ideas and I think it's pretty heartless to picket a dead man's funeral but they DO have the right to speak their minds. Is this not the first amendment?

    To all the people that want to smash the Phelps faces in, that is SO hypocritical!

    Anyone with hypocritical!


    Everyone is hypocritical. The bible is just a book, trust me. I had to read it for the first SEVENTEEN years of my life, it's just a damn book of weird lies, rape, talking donkeys, magic tricks and about some old guy building an arc and putting all kinds of animals together without any fighting or death!! Religion is the reason for why the world sucks...

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Most religious people don't do this.

    It isn't Christian to wish hell on anyone.

  • Shirley Phelps-Roper was on James Whale's show the other night. Whaley pretended he was gay and the sound engineer offered to bang her daughter. (The sound engineer is Jewish.) There were a couple of times she sounded almost close to tears, calling them brutes. It was great sport.
