I am usually very slow to say someone isn't a Christian, but I assure you that the Westboro Baptist Church is one of the furthest groups from representing Christ. Which is a vital part of Christianity - imagine that. Whatever plans they have with picketing the CT school funeral, please know that they are a man-corrupted group and not God-corrupted. God hates our sin and there is punishment without Christ, but He sent His son, Jesus, to save the world not to condemn it - we condemn ourselves. John 3:17 "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." (ESV)
I don't see anywhere that this is a false or made up story, but I certainly hope this story is not true. I pray that these family be shown Christ's love from real Christians.

It's churches like Westboro , that make me glad that we DON'T Have government enforced religion, as it could just as easily be this version verses "My" version that is thought in schools. (Though some also wouldn't like "My" version thought either vs another version)
Why are they picketing? I tried the link but it said page not found

“Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment,” Shirley Phelps-Roper tweeted on Dec. 15.
Thank you for the links. That is crazy... I don't even know what to say, I don't know who is more of a nut... the protesters or the appealing judge. Yes there is freedom of speech, but he died for his country so there could be freedom of speech!! Its like asking someone for help then slapping them in the face after they save you

Get the word out~there will be plenty of folks out there to block them~our pastor (SBC) rides with some bikers that go to military funerals to block out the Westboro clowns.
