Brainwashed by the Westboro Baptist Church (Part 1/2)

We followed the story of the Westboro Baptist Church as families split and children were brainwashed into picketing funerals and bashing homosexuals.

During that time, we interviewed more than a dozen members of the reviled group, including some of the only members not related by blood, the Drains. They welcomed us into their homes and gave us access to 17 years of home video footage. In return, we produced an unbiased look into the lives of one of America's most despised organizations.

[NateCFC]

You're a pathetic little man, aren't you?

[NateCFC]

Read Galatians 5:22-23, and Luke 18:9-13. Then get back to me about how real Christians are supposed to act. When I see Westboro acting as such, I will stand corrected.

[slumlordpig]

I thought it might be legal trouble with using other artists songs, like they do. No?

If these people go to heaven, I want the other alternative.

[FurryWolfBeast]

Let me ask you a question how can there be branches of Christianity, who say you go to hell for one thing but in the other you don't.

[ZXD7250]

What to add in my will:

If the WBC comes to picket my funeral, tell them to stand on a spot that they can protest on, because I planted the bomb there as a gift for them...still working on who's going to detonate it XD

[driftability]

Divide a nation.

[Ryan Hodder]

How are these ignorant disrespectful people still alive. Anyone that goes into the military should be respected. In the bible Jesus was a forgiving and charitable man, take a page for his book and stop fucking judging others.

[choop brinkpimp]

God doesn't hate the person he hates the sin, there is a difference. May i ask you have you read the Bible cover to cover, i doubt you have, so don't make statements that you can't defend.God cares for each person but hates the sin that they have chosen to commit.

[goatsandtechno]

See if they started that pish in scotland it would not fly at all.They only get away wi being that mad is because its the US,get them strung up by there necks see where their god is when the tables are turned

[Dragonk116]

No, this isn't even close. They even twist the bible versus themselves. They are far from being Christians. I read the bible, and NOWHERE were I read is god hates everyone and and all you people are going to hell! Wait... don't tell me... YOUR NOT FROM THIS RELIGION ARE YOU?!?! GET OUT OF HERE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH, YOUR KIND IS NOT WELCOME HERE!
