Answer 1

Satan does his finest work in the name of Our Lord. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Reverend Phelps eventually meets his maker and has to explain spreading hate in His Name. "You preached WHAT in my name?"  

Answer 2

You know what?

Those freaks will show up at any funeral of any prominent person, or anyone who dies in an a very infamous and tragic way that gains widespread media attention.

They do this to gain attention to themselves.

So are you suprised?

Chuck rotten eggs at Fred Phelps and friends.

Miss Mixtape:  remember that Ezra Levant was dragged before a "Human Rights Commission" after his magazine published the infamous Danish cartoons.  That is NOT a system of true free speech.

Answer 3

These WBC people are the lowest form of scum

I hope friends, family, neighbors, etc.....block the group from the funeral.

In the US, the group named the Patriot Guards attend the funeral's of soldiers and they also block the view of the loonies of the WBC from the soldiers family and friends.

I'm truly surprised that no one has seriously hurt the family members-they are well hated.

Answer 4

Just ignore those idiots. They will get theirs.

Want to know the secret behind what they are doing? Lawsuits. They go to different cities, either the police wont let them protest or if they do protest they get attacked by onlookers and then they bring up a lawsuit against the city-either saying that they were denied their freedom of speech or not protected by the police. They have hundreds of lawsuits pending on many cities across America, now it sounds like they are playing their game in Canada. Most of the time the city will just pay out of court to avoid the hassle and get them to go away and shut up.

They want you to either A. Hit them or B. shut them down so they can sue you or your city.

Best thing for everyone to do is just ignore them as hard as it can be to do so.

Answer 5

First, the name is all wrong, they are not a Baptist Church, they are not even Christians.  These people have been led down the path to h**l by someone who has no grasp of what it means to be a Christian.  There are many churches that are falling by the wayside, because they are more interested in pleasing the special interest groups than they are preaching the word of God.  

Answer 6

I attended an event in Lawrence, KS, years ago, and Phelps and his gang were on site protesting.  I'm okay with that, but their children were proudly bearing the same hateful signs that the unwise adults were holding.  All of them gurgling hateful nonsense.  Kids!

Answer 7

They'll be stopped at the border.  Border guards are under orders from Ottawa to prevent them from entering the country.  See link below.

Answer 8

I'm not sure.  Canadians don't have the same free speech rights as Americans.  My guess is they will end up in trouble.  

Answer 9

they do hate people and there preaching is from the old school days when people feared gods wrath . now i don't agree with them on  there protest  at funerals and such but they are hated and they love to sue.

Answer 10

Mizz -

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  Mine, anyways.  They aren't Canadians and don't have the right to even enter the border(s) on that alone.  They've been banned.

God "Help" them if they try to reproduce their insane hatred in this country.  I'm sure not only will Stockwell Day make sure they're nowhere near the funeral, but the R.C.M.P. should also get involved.  I really don't think they want to 'meet' a member of Tim's grieving family right now.

Just disgusting.  I'm (almost) speechless.
