Westboro Baptist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



"You think our job is to win souls to Christ.

All we do,

by

getting in their face and putting these signs in front of them

and 
these plain words,

is

make what's already in their heart come out of their mouth."

~(Shirley Phelps-Roper)~

Westboro Baptist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: In the BBC documentary The Most Hated Family in America, filmmaker Louis Theroux questioned Shirley Phelps-Roper as to whether she had considered that Westboro's technique of protests were more likely to "put people off the Word of Jesus Christ and the Bible". In response, Phelps-Roper said, "You think our job is to win souls to Christ. All we do, by getting in their face and putting these signs in front of them and these plain words, is make what's already in their heart come out of their mouth."[87] Later in the documentary, Phelps-Roper agrees that the $200,000 the church annually spends to fly to funerals to protest was money spent to spread "God's hate".[87]
