Their congregants have an ideology of hate and vilification towards gays, Jews and women with a regular protest schedule with hateful signs.
Every Friday night they stand with their children outside Temple Shalom's gates with their signs and we were witness to this terrible act and the fact that Jewish youngsters going to celebrate the Sabbath have to pass by this gauntlet of hate every week.
The Temple has decided to combat these demonstrations by collecting donations from their congregants and giving those monies to the very organizations that the Westboro Church has targeted.
AND if you happen to be in Kansas this month, the protesters will be at Jerry Seinfeld, Justin Bieber and Madonna performances in addition to various churches that have women clergy.
So Hate is still alive and kicking unfortunately in the Heartland... Here are some of Westboro's statistics...
6621 - soldiers that God has killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
49,018 - pickets conducted by WBC.
879 - cities that have been visited by WBC.
1111 - weeks that WBC has held daily pickets on the mean streets of doomed america.
144 - people whom God has cast into hell since you loaded this page.
218,400,000+ - gallons of oil that God poured in the Gulf.
$16.17 trillion+ - national debt of doomed america.
8 - people that God saved in the flood.
16,000,000,000 - people that God killed in the flood.
144,000 - Jews that will be saved in these last days.
0 - nanoseconds of sleep that WBC members lose over your opinions and feeeeellllliiiiiings.
All I can say is that we just need to combat hatred wherever it exists.
Yeow! It's hard to believe it's that present and on a regular basis. I'd be terrified being a Jew attending that shul. Is this their idea of living up to their "Christian values"? Again, it makes me rejoice in my decision to become a Jew!
