33. A distinction should be made for oppressors & citizens that actually want these laws

"Convert or die" is a unique brand of outreach even for a far right orthodox sect.

The Door/Potter's House overloads on the hell rhetoric even suggesting Catholics & "lukewarm Christians" are going to hell. Very strict & have beliefs & customs very different from the majority of Christians. Those hooked by that cult will distance & cut-off relations from family & friends that are "lukewarm Christians" or less. They constantly want to "save" anyone that hasn't been to church in awhile & constantly invite to church. If someone slips the need another "saving".

In 2006, Westboro picketed with banners saying "God hates fags" and "Thank God for dead soldiers" at the Westminster, Maryland, funeral of Matthew Snyder, a U.S. Marine who was also killed in Iraq.
