Fred Phelps' son: Father on 'edge of death'
Nate Phelps says Fred Phelps Sr. is in hospice care
Posted: March 16, 2014 - 9:21am

A son of Fred Phelps Sr., the controversial leader of Westboro Baptist
Church, has posted on his Facebook page that his father was
excommunicated from the church in August 2013 and is "now on the edge of
death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka."

Nate Phelps, who broke away from the church 37 years ago, made the
Facebook post around midnight Saturday.

"I've learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the 'God Hates
Fags' Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the 'church'
back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland
Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas," Nate Phelps posted.

"I'm not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion
to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made.

"I feel sad for all the hurt he's caused so many. I feel sad for those
who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I'm bitterly
angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing
him, and saying their good-byes."

Phelps Sr., an ordained minister who started Westboro Baptist Church in
1955, was known early in his legal career as an award-winning civil
rights attorney. However, after his disbarment by the Kansas Supreme
Court in 1979 and the surrender of his license to practice law in
federal courts in 1989, Phelps became known for his crusade against
homosexuals, marked by picket lines, the mass distribution of facsimiles
and a multitude of lawsuits.

"...devotion to God..."

Now, that is a giggle. Phelps, Sr., is a horrible human being, and he
and his followers engaged in horrific acts against perfectly decent
people who had nothing to do with the insanity of the Phelps Cult. I'm
no fan of the military, but picketing the funeral of a soldier killed in
action so as to further upset that soldier's family in their time of
grief has to be the lowest or damned close to the lowest form of human
behavior.

Correction " his devotion to his god"

I thought you could keep the story straighter than that.

No denying that.

Have you ever heard one word of support for Phelps and his loony bin
actions?

Didn't think so.

Is the god of Phelps a different entity than, say, the god of Noah or
the god of Lot or the god of, say, all the creeps throughout history who
took it upon themselves to kill in the name of their god? How about all
the genocides in history done in the name of religious beliefs,
including those in the last century? Was the god these murderers were
satiating the same old god?

I wonder who in that church though has gone out of their way to
intentionally make more lives miserable than our own harry krause? At
the same time what is worse, what the westies did, or what the IRS did
to the 2012 election.. I mean, both were terrorists trying to effect
politics...

No confusion here. I'm merely questioning whether the god of Phelps,
which you claim is different than "god," is in reality the same god.
