They have strong kool-aid</p> <p>@.twist.: nope, it's been VERY tight lipped, it was late summer that it happened but nobody has said what the reason was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fred-phelps-leader-of-the-westboro-baptist-church-dies#post-1508229 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:39:35 +0000 .twist. 1508229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Do you know why he was ex-communicated? I'm only curious because they seemed filled with so much hate and I just wonder what he could have done wrong since they didn't change any of his ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fred-phelps-leader-of-the-westboro-baptist-church-dies#post-1508226 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:39:03 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1508226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good riddance.

It's actually a very small group, almost all of them are related, and nobody in Kansas believes the crazy they deliver. </p> <p>His ex-communication from the church doesn't show a dissolve of the church though, many of his children/followers are still just as crazy and hateful as he is. </p> <p>I've seen their protests forts hand on MANY occasions and it's gut wrenching because you want to fight back but that makes you no better than they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fred-phelps-leader-of-the-westboro-baptist-church-dies#post-1508192 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:32:55 +0000 artsyfartsy 1508192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: LOLOLOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fred-phelps-leader-of-the-westboro-baptist-church-dies#post-1508174 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:29:51 +0000 .twist. 1508174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: or secretly "nom". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fred-phelps-leader-of-the-westboro-baptist-church-dies#post-1508169 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:28:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 1508169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: The woman at the end looks at her baby like...Wut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fred-phelps-leader-of-the-westboro-baptist-church-dies#post-1508160 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:28:01 +0000 .twist. 1508160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: lololololol.
