UK TV secretly films Fred Phelps, a KKKristian minister...
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 12:36 PM by edbermac
The Sky Report has secretly filmed one of America's most controversial Christian ministers praising the London bombings.

Fred Phelps says that terrorist outrages and natural disasters such as Hurricane Rita are examples of God's wrath against countries such as America and Britain for tolerating homosexuals and homosexuality.

Fred Phelps, who set up the controversial Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, told our undercover reporter about the attacks, which killed 52 people:

"Oh I am so thankful that happened. My only regret is that they didn't kill about million of them. England deserves that kind of punishment, as does this country (America)".

The church, which has 150 followers, recently started picketing funerals including those of American soldiers killed in Iraq, waving banners such as "Thank God 9/11", "God Hates Fags" and "Aids Cures Fags".

The Sky Report investigation includes secret filming inside the church's fortified compound during a weekly service in which Fred Phelps also denounced the Roman Catholic Church as the "biggest paedophile organisation in the history of the world".

I hope someone can get a video file of program to demonstrate the KKKristian Taliban hard at work.

2. "...fortified compound?"
Hmmmm. Maybe Phelps will start stockpiling weapons and get the bush-league federales after his ass....

Hey, that's my new favorite phrase to describe the cabal: The bush league!!

3. Well, no big secrets there. He's said the same thing many times.
Now I'm trying to decide whether I can stomach watching the video (assuming it makes its way online). Honestly, I wish they would stop giving him all this free publicity. He loves it.

5. Phelps isn't so much a 'minister' as he is a possible schizophrenic.
His loony, singular obession with 'fags' may have less to do with religious extremism (although a line or two in the book of Leviticus seems to provide much encouragement) and a bit more to do with a severe unchecked mental imbalance. Yes, he's still dangerous and harmful.. but consider that most of his 'congregation' are his own children and grandchildren: Mental disfunction runs in families. I had a cousin who was obsessed with communists taking over.. and this was in the late 1990s.

6. I would imagine that most....
christian organizations and churches would partly accept his message, but his kooky methodology would be rejected by 99.9% of them.

7. Well, I'm still waiting for Mr. Clean
to go to Sweden. Last I heard, he was going there to "hunt down the King of Sweden" for his alleged support of "gays".

The article on the LBN said that he was going over there on Sep. 4. We wondered what the Swedish security police were going to do.

Evidently Phelps changed his mind.

Well, Fred?
