Way to ruin a peaceful vigil and scar the already devastated.
Many members of our gay community are planning on protesting I understand their hurt and anger but isn't it just giving that crazy fanatic what he wants when they protest him?

I'm so glad straight society is being subjected to him and his horrid family. Might give some pause as to how we are treated everyday. Peace to the family. I hope they can manage to ignore these people. I'd likely go to jail if he ever showed his face at a funeral I attended.

Maybe this is in the wrong forum, sorry I'm still really tired from everything.

What are they protesting for?

No, gay and death isn't always political I think it should stay here.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Thank you. You know I fully understand people wanting to fight back but this just doesn't seem to be the right time or place.
It 's probably best to let his ignorance and hatred speak for itself.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

more people will see it.

shellyevon said:

I think it would be a good thing to show solidarity with the families but I'm not sure a protest is the way.

I loved when Matthew Sheppard was buried how the kids formed a barrier of angels. So beautiful. But I do love that the rest of the nation is subjected to these maniacs because this is what many of us were raised around and were treated and still are because these sickos can come in and strip us of our rights. maybe might get people thinkin that we are human beings too....

Here's the quotes:

Zion Lutheran Church in Clarence - Don't worship the DEAD! 9535 Clarence Center Rd We will picket this non-denominational community prayer service. God will not hear your prayers at this hour, and further more what do you think your prayers will do to help all those burned, rotting corpses? Check out these plain, simple words from the Lord Jesus (a/k/a the WORD): Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. It is a sin of the hugest kind to pray for these evil, God-hating rebels - at this hour! AMEN!

and

St Joseph's Catholic Church - God Hates Silly Women! 3275 Main Street "Dr. Alison Des Forges was a human rights activist and historian who tried to call the world's attention to the looming genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and later wrote what is considered the definitive account of the eventual slaughter of more than 500,000 Rwandans. She was 66 and lived in Buffalo." Oh yeah? Well, what about the attempted slaughter of the saints of God here in good ole u.s. of a? Not one time did I hear any words of comfort or help from this old, dead witch! I'm just saying that this is God's perspective on this matter of this old woman's never-dying, everlasting soul. Read it for yourself if you do not believe me: Matthew 25:31-46 - 31 � When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. A-friggin'-MEN!

Memorial service of Marvin Renslow - God cast the plane down 18116 US Highway 41N At the First Baptist Dog Kennel of Lutz, Florida they are going to be worshiping a dead guy. What are they worshiping? Well the fact that he was behind the wheel (throttle) of the plane which landed on top of a house near Buffalo, N.Y. He's a hero, says the lying false prophet from this whore house which is ANYTHING but Baptist. Here is what John Baptist said, and here is what they did to John Baptist in this evil world for saying it: Mark 14:1 � At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias? sake, his brother Philip?s wife. 4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod?s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist?s head in a charger. 9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath?s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. Stop worshiping the dead, stop lying about the standards of God, stop putting on a show so you can get more money in your collection plate, serve God and suffer for His name's sake. You should be scared into silence by this sudden tragic death of a "member" of your church - not posing and posturing for the media. SHAME ON THIS HERETIC PREACHER! AMEN!

It doesn't make sense to me

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I like the barrier of angels. That would be appropriate I think. Something dignified would be good because this will be on the national news.

People like Phelps make my skin crawl.

sound like ramblings of a lunatic to me

ZombieKitten said:

A loud, hate-filled, dangerous lunatic.

shellyevon said:

His wife and kids are fucked up too.

protesting at anyones funeral is disrespectful.

no matter what the reason.

I'm

reading those words..how does that person know what God wants,or who He hates,
or what He will or will not hear??

after only a few lines in..

peb319 said:

people think that if they talk no sense, others will think it must be gods words speaking through them - you know, bamboozle them with righteousness

ZombieKitten said:

ooohhhhh...OK!!
i didn't understand a word

it wasn't REAL godspeak...

I have no idea what this thread is about.

I live ten minutes away from Lutz.

They were at my wife's high school in Cambridge, MA not too long ago.



The best thing to do with those yuks is IGNORE them. If no one shows up or talks about them, they will disappear.

hokie said:

You didn't hear about the plane crash?
Read this:
http://prince.org/msg/100/297734

This is about a man who is having his church followers picket the funerals of the crash victims.
I know he hates gays but why this now? I guess it's futile to expect to find reason behind this.

JerseyKRS said:

I agree, but there are quite a few in the gay community here that would love to give these people a fight. I understand that feeling too.

shellyevon said:

there were gay people on the plane?
he could go picket anywhere in that case, why choose this place>

ZombieKitten said:

I don't know how anyone would know who was gay on the plane except friends or relatives. This Phelps guy is insane so who knows?

Exactly who are these "God-hating rebels"?

This guy might as well of been speaking chinese cause that's what it all sounded like to me.

half the time he they don't show up.

Didn't these fools picket Heath Ledger's funeral? The whole thing confuses me. The reason he gives are insane.

...evil, God-hating rebels?

...God Hates Silly Women

...old, dead witch

...the First Baptist Dog Kennel of Lutz, Florida

...the lying false prophet from this whore house which is ANYTHING but Baptist


The scary thing is he has followers.

Why would anybody even go to a website like that? Makes me wonder.

That cult, or whatever to call it, believes that God hates America because of all the "sinful" things going on in the country. Hence the plane crash is supposed to be one of their god's ways of punishing Americans.

Well if they truely believe that God hates America,then what the hell are they doing living here,in America?
