On Wednesday, phone lines at the church normally staffed to handle news media queries had voice mails instructing callers to email questions to the church.

Exiled from Westboro: Leaving America's most hated church
Zach Phelps-Roper at Gage Park in Topeka, Kansas, the site of the 1991 incident that caused his grandfather to start Westboro's campaign against homosexuals. And in a Reddit AMA, he repeatedly implored participants to "treat the members of the WBC with LOVE!" He added, "Saying 'Fuck you' can easily be forgotten and it doesn't change their beliefs but only makes them feel validated." During one of our conversations, I asked Zach what difference it would make if people treated Westboro "with love." He says, "Since they believe they're supposed to be hated, loving them would prove them wrong." And once the church realized they were wrong, he says, their entire belief system would collapse, and they would be forced to renounce their religious convictions; the policy of excommunication would fall by the wayside

I remember once my uncle said WBC isn't a social club, but it seemed that way to me when they would all of a sudden find someone unfit to be a part of the group

Moreover, the lead singer, Patrick Monahan, proudly lives in adultery, having sluffed off his first wife; and taken a woman that is NOT his wife! "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." Luke 16:18 Pat seems to think that if he announces that he is "Not at all religious", that he will somehow be excused from the commandments of God. NO! Patrick knows very well, like all Doomed americans, what God requires, because God in his great mercy and compassion has sent his servants, rising early, daily and betimes (when you need it), to protest against your proud sin and warn you: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad
