Rumor circulating

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh no doubt nigel. Especially where you cant marry outside the church. Has anything like that been suggested yet? I think that there have been members who have left and cut off ties.

Oh, yes: http://fredphelps.com/?page_id=4

Phelps does not permit Westboro members to marry persons outside the church[citation needed]. As relatively few individuals have joined Westboro, there have been at least two marriages between the Phelps and Hockenbarger clans, resulting in some members having dual genealogical relationships[citation needed]. In the documentary The Most Hated Family in America, the young girls in the church express no interest in getting married, because "that's not what we are about" and "we're living in the last of the last days, times are very short".

It'll be really interesting when the younger girls who have "no interest in marriage" start turning up pregnant. My guess is that when this happens they'll simply disappear from the public for a few months, and then an older Phelps harpy will mysteriously have "adopted" a newborn baby. That's the traditional Christian cult method for dealing with incestuous pregnancies in their younger members.

on the KU boards, Fred Phelps is dead. Unconfirmed at this time.

You can call me a hypocrite all day long for this one, but if it's true, I'm glad he's dead and I'd picket his funeral. For justice.

Oh, I am equally guilty here, Nigel.  But this is, IMO, a special case.  He made his living tormenting grieving families, and then suing anyone who lost their temper.

I can't think of a whole lot of things that are lower than that.

Didn't this happen to Sarah Palin?

Bristol Palin, IIRC.

Both, actually.  Sarah Palin's first child was born less than the standard nine months after the wedding.

So was my first kid. 

Can't bitch there.  Of course, I don't run around preaching bogus morality at people.

So was my niece...  Hell, she was the flower girl at the wedding.  It isn't the premarital sex, I happen to be a fan, myself, it's the hypocracy.

I begin to fear the reports of his death were greatly exaggerated.

Well, there's always next time.

Fuck it. Bury the cunt anyway. Or cremate him even. David Koresh style. He'd like
that.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

He'll die eventually.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Morally speaking, I'm pretty sure the guilt of feeling good about him kicking the bucket is exponentially outweighed by the opportunity for righteous lulz

I dream of a sea of mourners all breaking down in outraged tears when confronted by an army of people waving "God hates Phelps" banners. The fact that not a single one will appreciated the irony merely serves to make the whole thing funnier.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Honestly i see them reacting to such a protest with holy smirks on their faces. I think they would enjoy it.

Two words.
