Westboro Baptist Church Planning Suicidal Exodus?

[NorthCarolina]

Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church recently left a blog post that has some wondering if the extremist group is planning a mass suicide (a la Jonestown). A little excerpt from the post (link goes to WBC blog) written in their typical hag-alect:

"We are particularly urgent about it, because the time is shortly to come when we will grant you your wicked wish, Doomed america! Your smart-assed pundits and foul-mouthed politicians have for years told us to pack up and leave if we don’t like this filthy little cancerous boil on the butt of the earth. You all think you’re so clever that you can come up with such cutesy little quips. You’re collectively so Bible dumb that you don’t know what you’re saying. So let me help you out.

"Look at the examples in scriptures when a nation – or world – of Godless rebels cry out at God’s patient Saints to get the hell out! Noah got on the ark and God shut the door – then the entire population of the world was wiped out. YAY!

1. I'll make the Kool-Aid!

[TheWraith]

2. I'm not nearly that lucky. nt

[Ohio Joe]

3. Let em

I know I won't miss them.

[Stevenmarc]

4. And this would be a bad thing?

[SpartanDem]

5. I don't think there is going to be

a lot of people trying to stop them.

[hobbit709]

6. All I got to say

Don't let the doorknob hit you in the ass on the way out, idiots.

[RoseMead]

7. I don't wish for them to kill themselves

But I do wish they would go away. Far, far, far away. Into space, maybe...

[TK421]

8. Screw that PS3...please, Santa....PLEASE!!!!

[angstlessk]

9. maybe they got themselves a nuke?

them's real scary folk to be sure! or perhaps they plan on moving to Pakistain to live with the Taliban?

[Taverner]

13. That's along the lines of what I was thinking

With that much hatred, I would seriously be surprised if they didn't want to take out as many others as possible.

[angstlessk]

28. yes, these are not the type of folk who 'go gently into that good night'..

they would rather see suffering all around...like the 'great flood' or worse!

[Taverner]

30. Yes - reinforced by their "YAY" after every mass death and/or killing

I hope the FBI is watching them like a hawk...

[madamesilverspurs]

37. If Phelps is equating himself with Noah,

he's planning on surviving something calamitous; post disaster, he'll emerge to be in charge. So, yeah, I'm wondering if he's got hold of a dirty bomb or something, or if he's hoping that the threat alone is sufficient to make all of us knuckle under. There is a very thinly veiled threat in the wording, let's hope it's only bombast.

[DebbieCDC]

44. Sounds like Charlie Manson and Helter Skelter

[Taverner]

57. The Manson Family v The Phelps Family

I like where this is going

[uppityperson]

63. Reading the OP and linked stuff, that was my thought also

If adults want to kill themselves, I feel sad (not factoring their kids), but these guys are screwy enough to do something like that. Go out with a bang, as it may be

[KansDem]

10. Won't work. Fred can't figure out how he'll protest his own funeral...(nt)

[Dr. Strange]

27. Dammit!

You beat me to it!

[sakabatou]

56. DUZY

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. Heresyourhatwhat'syourhurry

[JVS]

12. They're probably moving to Canada

[NorthCarolina]

14. The land of Socialized Medicine and Gay Marriage???

I doubt it.

[Posteritatis]

41. They're not permitted in the country

They tried getting up a few times and were stopped at the border as a hate group.

[napi21]

15. I don't think they have any intent on a Jonestown. My guess is that

Phelps is predicting the second coming of Christ to be very soon. You know...where all the GOOD PEOPLE float up to heaven with Christ and the rest are legt to the devil.

[piratefish08]

16. We should BE so lucky. Hateful, hypocritical, small-minded bigots. n/t

[Renew Deal]

So wait, which direction are you going?

:shrug: :D

[piratefish08]

25. I was replying to the OP - I detest Phelps, his followers and and anyone who defends his right

to spew filth the way he does.

[Lisa0825]

17. They'll have a rude awakening....

It almost makes me wish the "end times" BS was true! Can you imagine the disbelief when they get left behind? :rofl:

[havocmom]

53. wonder if cheney had talked to the ding bat

cheney will be needing a big diversion to save his own ass and Phelps has lots of mindless followers....

:nuke: Yeah, I think cheney IS that fucking insane and he has been directing the message to the types of people that follow Phelps.

[joeybee12]

18. Sounds like they're "End of Days"-type believers...that the world

is going to end soon, the signs are all there, yada, yada, yada...I wouldn't read anything more into it myself.

[Renew Deal]

19. Sounds like they expect the "end times"

Isn't suicide forbidden in the Bible?

[MineralMan]

20. Their Holy Spaceship Awaits...

Bon Voyage, morons!

[Contrary1]

21. Hopefully, the children will be removed before their bon voyage...

I worry about them. They have had no choice in the matter.

[Renew Deal]

22. I agree

That's the first thing I thought. I hope the kids can somehow be saved from them.

[FedUpWithIt All]

24. My thought as well. I really feel for the children in situations like this.

Imagine the confusion and fear they must feel. Just awful.

[luvspeas]

23. We need an "attention seeker" smilie...

May I suggest something that looks like this:

[salguine]

26. Oh, God, I hardly dare to hope.

[DevonRex]

29. That's not what it means. It means that WE get wiped out and they live.

[hlthe2b]

32. Anyone monitoring their gun and fertilizer purchases?

That's a scary thought... or is this destined to be another Waco?

[DevonRex]

50. I'd say that any of the things that would trigger an investigation would

not be carried out by the church itself. Much like Waco, it will be individuals doing the purchasing. But unlike Waco, the members won't be readily identifiable by the gun dealers or explosives dealers or even fertilizer dealers who would be selling those items to them.

[hlthe2b]

31. I used to work a suicide hotline....

I'll just say that that would be one heck of a challenge....

[kestrel91316]

33. So they hate everyone else on earth. No news there.

[valerief]

34. They're going on a cruise?

:shrug:

[jmowreader]

35. So...has anyone seen Fred lately?

Fred Phelps is an 80-year-old cult leader. I do NOT find it outside the realm of possibility that Phelps' followers will conduct a mass suicide after Fred dies.

[NorthCarolina]

40. Perhaps because he IS old he is feeling his "mortality" and is comforted

by the thought of taking his followers with him in death....rather than simply go all by himself. It kind of reminds me of the crazy preacher spirit in Poltergeist II.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. They're a cult. They're nuts. Would it actually surprise anyone? n/t

[NeedleCast]

38. Oh Please, Oh Please, Oh Please

Let it be true. I'd hate to inflict them on another country, so I hope their departure means death, not leaving the country.

[LeftyMom]

39. Maybe they got a good deal on a gently used compound in Guyana

and are getting ready to move as soon as they can get the worst of the bloodstains up?

[Matariki]

42. So much hate - these people are just seething in their hatred.

it's sad really. I can't imagine how they can remotely think of themselves as christian.

[Echo In Light]

45. The mind boggles...

[DebbieCDC]

43. The sooner the better

[xchrom]

46. buh-bye now. nt

[Initech]

47. Honestly I wouldnt be the least bit surprised if that happened.

[johnaries]

48. Sounds to me like they're just leaving the US.

Maybe they found an island somewhere.

[Matariki]

49. It also sounds vaguely threatening.

Hopefully any large fertilizer purchases will have been tracked.

[DS1]

51. I will fly out and have sex with his dead body if Fred does goes out like that

[KamaAina]

52. What they need is some appropriate theme music

[47of74]

54. I find myself wondering if this is genuine

...or another stunt by this collection of publicity whores.

[Vickers]

55. He seriously overestimates his importance in most Americans' lives.

Most folks don't know his name, just "that douchebag who protests soldiers' funerals."

:rofl:

[butterfly77]

59. Yeah..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[TWiley]

58. Maybe there is a God after all ! Rapture the fuckers right off the planet !

[foxfeet]

61. God's defective product recall . .

[Toucano]

60. "It was a mercy killing!" n-t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

62. Go.

Just stfu and go.

Now.
