I’ve learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the “God Hates Fags” Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the “church” back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka,*.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made.
I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes.”
EDIT: People were wondering why he got ex-communicated:
Quote:
According to an interview with Nate Phelps, who left the church 37 years ago, Fred Phelps was ejected from the group following a power struggle between a board of male elders and longtime spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper. After the elders defeated Phelps-Roper, Fred Phelps reportedly called for "kinder treatment of fellow church members," a sentiment which was ill-received.
See I'm gonna be a proper Christian and just say R.I.P. I'm not stooping down to THIER level . Y'all can take you're shots for me pls. my inner hood rat is screaming though
]you guys do know that the Westboro group are secretly funded by gay activist to make homophobes look extremely bad and for the public to associate homophobes with them. So when someone thinks about homophobia, they'll instantly think about the "God Hates ***" signs. Genius marketing by gay activist tbh.
