The controversial Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), a so-called Christian denomination known more for protesting soldiers funerals than for preaching the gospel, is at it again. This time, their disgusting protest plans are taking them to our nation’s national cemetery, just in time for Veterans Day.
According to the WBC’s website, the group is planning to take their “We Pray for More Dead Soldiers” and “Thank God for 9/11” signs and hate speech to Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day this Wednesday.
The group specifically targeted the day to send a message to those supporting our troops, and says honoring them on Veterans Day is akin to “worshiping the dead.” WBC has also declared that its protests are a warning from God.
The group’s announcement goes on to say, “Arlington National Cemetery is a giant middle finger to your creator. It is the exact opposite of what God instructs you to do. Now, put away your filthy imaginations and OBEY while you still draw breath.”
Veterans Day is the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918, and is celebrated across the country as a time to honor the men and women who have served in our armed forces.
RJ says
I pray that GOD will deal with everyone involved in the Westboro Baptist Church protest of out American soldiers. Please help these people understand that they are not doing GOD’s WILL by degrading our troops and praying for their downfall.
joseph muzzillo says
I agree well said
Bill says
God will put all involved in their place.
Juan TwoThree says
Bill: Hell, why wait?? Why can’t some of our Special Forces sniper’s stay a mile or two away, in a tree, building and take these SOB’s OUT, one by one or a couple dozen at a time? Let’s see if they continue to dishonor OUR fallen soldiers during their march/protest/demonstrations to see if they will run and hide like a cockroach! The bastards! I am sure Obama just loves this turmoil he has created around this country…if it’s not this, he’s sticking his nose into blacks shorts, Mexicans, gun controls, the middle-east, etc.etc.etc..which he has totally f’d up across the board….EVERYTHING this Muslim-In-Chief does fails terribly.Obama is a FRAUD and habitual LIAR!
Bruce says
Amen brother. I get so sick and tired of the fools who enjoy a free America but pay no homage to those who made it possible for them to be STUPID.
Dawn says
Why would they dishonor the American soldiers when they are fighting for our country..You mean, they have no one in the family that ever served in any branch in the military?…Let them do what they want, it doesn’t mean that we have to follow them….Their problem is not my problem…I do and will Honor out American Soldiers…
bill griggers says
If it wasn’t for veterans like me who was in ww2 and korean war you would not be protesting. Youwould be in SLAVERY — thank GOD you are alive.
F89D Scorpion says
Amen brother !
JANICE JAMES says
I THINK WE ALL NEED TO STOP CALLING THEM A CHURCH, THEY ARE A BAND OF FINATICS, THEY ARE A CULT NOT A CHURCH–DON’T DISHONOR THE REAL CHURCHES WITH GIVING THEM THE TITLE OF WESTBORO CHURCH,, THEY ARE A BUNCH OF EXTREMELY SINFUL HORRID ACTING PEOPLE.
LET’S CALL THEM THE —– WESTBORO DEMON CULT—– FROM NOW ON PLEASE.
THANK YOU, FROM A REAL SAVED CHRISTIAN IN CALIFORNIA, JAN GAY
Patricia Flowers says
I haven’t posted a comment ever so why are you telling me I am posting too fast. But this quasi church makes me so ill I could vomit.
Patty says
I am a baptist. I do not know anyone like those people,they are so full of hatred! Here is what the scriptures say about Soldiers ‘ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”. John 15:16 . God advanced many military battles, his strategies are perfect, God forgives anyone who asks. I cannot say how God will deal with them, being hateful in their actions, but from what I know about Him, he won’t be happy.
Mary says
AMEN !!!!!
Richard says
This is the sane reason I quit posting. Soon the horn will be gone.
Keith says
Westboro obviously needs to PURCHASE a BIBLE!!! These people have lost theirs!!!
Keith Luxton says
Am I suffering from Dementia? I do not remember writing this although I do agree.
Keith says November 9, 2015 at 10:56 am
Westboro obviously needs to PURCHASE a BIBLE!!! These people have lost theirs!!!
Patty says
Yes, they need to read 1 Corinthians 13. All about love.
Jacquie Johnson says
They need to purchase a Christian Bible and then read it or have someone with understanding read it to them. They are a pathetic bunch!
Christopher M. Wagner says
How does WBC judge people????? They are not following the Word of God themselves….they are hypocrites….they sin just like other humans do. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself……I don’t understand how they can pray for more dead people in the world. God will be the judge of these people and His wrath will come upon them for the hypocrisy.
John Hunter says
They have murder in their hearts.
Lisa says
The Bible says there will be many false prophets/teachings in the end times. This is plainly some of them! That church does need to read their Bible!
Sarah says
They are protesting the same people that died, to give them the right to protest. Also it’s not just for the fallen soldiers. It’s also for the one’s they leave behind. They really need to read the Bible. Some places will send out free copies. Maybe they don’t know that?
Phil Sargent says
Sarah;
They need to live the Bible !
rikk cole says
it is a cult not a church
Hal says
I have looked at those who burn churches as people attacking God himself.Ever since Walter Cherry et.al. burned those little angels as they put on their choir robes.But this is one alleged “church” I think should burn.Their “pastor”sounds lie the Anti-Christ..
john & Sharral Ruth says
Westboro Baptist needs to learn how to get along with their American host! Americans don’t take kindly to this anti-American talk. Perhaps they should relocate to a country that agrees with their hatred!
William Hays says
Luckily, our ranks of looney Baptist presidential candidates is thinning. Only Cruz, Clinton, and Huckabee remain. Now, if we could get rid of the Roman Catholics, the Jew, the 7th Day Adventist, and the Episcopal, we could have a Presbyterian President again! Actually, almost anyone is better than the Muslim we have now!
Pete Van Zyl says
Jesus was a Jew! If He were here now would you still want to “get rid of the Jew too”?
Len says
Jesus WAS a Jew. All of the writers, apostles and first Christians WERE all Jews. TRUE Jews do not exist today only a “remnant” believe in Christ. Yes, the Pharasees and Sadducees, along with many Jews plotted and killed Jesus. Jesus knew this and wanted them to repent but would not.
Fred Baldwin says
You shouldn’t leave off the ATHIEST and or yourself.
Sarah says
I wouldn’t say anyone is better. Being a woman myself I have always looked forward to having a female president. But Hillary Clinton is not the one. She is just as bad as Obama. I want a educated down home country girl or someone from a farming town. Someone that knows what having a hard life is about. That’s also a Christian. Not a woman who is just as crazy and corrupt as Obama. Clinton would be just like having Obama for a third term. I want a woman that is going to make women look good. Not make us look stupid.
JANICE JAMES says
I WANT THE CHRISTIAN DR BEN CARSON FOR PRESIDENT 2016.
Carol Ellingson & Hilding Ellingson says
It sounds like you need to read your Bible too!
Betty says
Who do u think u r, The Jews are “GOD’S” chosen people,
Donald Trump will be the next PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES
John Hunter says
Chrislam (the demonic attempt to join Christianity, the one and only true
religion, with Islam, the false idol worshiping religion) has made inroads into the Presbyterian (Episcopal too) Church. Righteousness and unrighteousness can
not be joined together !
The Presbyterian Church denies John 3:16. They deny that any and everyone
who accepts Jesus as Savior can be saved. They claim that some people were
born for the purpose of going to Hell.
Bob says
God got fed up with his creations in the past and eliminated everyone except for the folks on the Ark. He is probably thinking strongly about doing it again, the end times you know. Trump would probably hasten the END! God Bless us all.
Fred Eisenhauer says
Maybe we could get rid of you.
Fred Eisenhauer says
William Hays is who I am talking about. By By William.
RB says
I say unto all the Church’s of the World, Hear the words of Yahweh. If you do not obey my Law’s I’ve given unto Moses my Commandment’s or observe the Feast’s I have declared unto you to observe, if you do not hold the Shabbat on the day I have declared unto Moses and keep it Holy, then you are not my chosen people. You do not worship me Yahweh the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, instead you teach the teachings of man, that is not of Yahweh teachings. I say unto you now, repent your evil ways and return unto me your God Yahweh, if you don’t not repent your evil ways you will be cut off from the promise I’ve given unto Abraham. The chose is your, choose wisely!
John Hunter says
The Church is under Grace not under Law. We are not obligated
to obey the Ten Commandments unless they are repeated in the
New Testament, however, all of them are repeated there, in some
form, except “Remember the Sabbath Day (7th day, not Saturday)
to keep it Holy.” Those 9 commandments reveal what is morally
right and if we love God we will do what is morally right.
The Lord made everyday, thus every day should be kept holy. and
we should assemble with other Christians and worship together,
but it is not critical which day we do that. Actually, whenever we
do God’s will, that is worship. and we should do that all the time.
You are attempting to put a burdensome yoke on Christians.
You are attempting to put us back under Judaism.
. The only yoke we need is to be yoked with Christ, whose
yoke is easy and whose burthen is light.
Fred Baldwin says
WBC just gave a black mark to other churches who respect the memory of the soldiers who died (out of duty) in protecting our freedoms, even if they are disrespected by those who’s self interest superceedes their Patriotism. This sounds more like a cult than a Baptist church. Maybe this is the “NEW’ politically correct gathering we’ve inherited the past 7 years??
Ida Maydell Bolding says
This is a Church in name only. I am of Baptist background, and have been a member of several throughout my lifetime, and I am still a member of a Baptist Church, and I never encountered such hatred for the military before. Don’t these people realize that our freedoms in this Country are the result of those fighting men and women of the armed services who gave, in a big way, their own lives so that we could have the freedom of worship, and many more freedoms. One thing is for certain, they will get their just reward when Christ says, “Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity, I never knew you.” The only thing we can do is pray that God wakes them up to the truth, before it is too late. God bless our military veterans, both dead and alive.
Tom T. says
I would like to ask the idiotic so-called-Leadership of the Westboro Baptist wanabes.
Who do they think were buried in the CATACOMBS?
Kate Strait says
These so called Christians are giving Christians a bad name just as ISIS and all the Islamist terrorists are giving Muslims a bad name. They are more of a cult than a religion.
Justin W says
I wish Westboro Baptist Church would remove baptist and church from their name. They give baptists and churches a bad name due to their actions. In fact, I don’t know of any baptist church which spends their time protesting and name calling. The baptist churches I know of tell people about Jesus and support a variety of causes intended to help their communities. WBC does none of that.
The baptist church I attend recognized our veterans during Sunday’s worship services. Our freedoms wouldn’t last long if we didn’t have a military working to protect them. Recognition and remembrance is far from worship.
The WBC protestors thrive on media attention. I wish the media would wise up and ignore this group. Once they realize no one is paying attention to them anymore they will hopefully disappear. Once again, this group is a baptist church in name only. Their actions will not be found in actual Bible-believing baptist churches.
Wilbert Jennings jr says
The majority of the dead are Christians and volunteered to protect other countries from the attacker threatening to kill them. None of these men and women are an insult to GOD. Read the Old Testament and learn what GOD had his followers do to their enemies. Its time we as Christians stood against our enemies and eliminate the threat. MUslims and others have tried to eliminate true CHRISITANITY for centuries and each time they are pushed back. This time we have to fight our own government while defending ourselves from the enemy. This church is not a church and appear to be an occult.
Don says
The media would not know what to do with their selves if they could not spread all of the crap that is out there
John R. De Lude says
Westborough Baptist Church can ROT IN HELL for all I care.
John Hunter says
Slow down, be careful John R. De Lude.
That attitude is like that of “Westborough Baptist Church”.
If we have God’s Love in our hearts we will pray that they
repent, confess, and forsake their sins
.
Allen A. Hempstead says
Westborough Baptist Church is evil as evil can be, may God help them and be sure that I won’t
paul collins says
Somebody need to inform these people that if wasn’t for the military the would not have to right to act like stupid jackasses. If they do any damage at Arlington they should be prosecuted
and forced to pay for it.
Danny Stewart says
May I suggest a “no bag limit” on westboro scum bags.
Grandpa says
WBC is not a real church. And as such, should be put with all the other crazies out there who think like that. It’s sad that they even claim to be a church at al.
Travis L Sutton says
I would like to see WBC make these expressions specifically towards Congress and Our Commander-In-Chief, and see what response they get. WBC needs to STOP irritating our military service members who executes what Congress and the President authorizes/appropriates for war. Duels and wars started ever since God kicked Satan out of heaven, Adam and Eve disobey God by biting the apple, and Cain killing able (for those who have faith, and believes in the Bible). I would ask that WBC pray to all mighty God into changing the hearts of minds of WORLD LEADERS, whose thoughts have been taken over by the devil in order to try and undo what JESUS has done, and will do during the “END OF TIMES.”
Victor Fouquet says
Westboro Baptist Church NEEDS to honor our veterans And be more like Christ. The Bible says that no one has any greater love than to give his life for his friend. The vets have given their lives for our country!
James Galyon says
There is one verse in the Bible that gives the complete solution to all of our nation’s problems….but every part of the verse must be completed before God’s promise to be fulfilled.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Max Claymore says
Do that in front of me and someone goes to the hospital & someone goes to jail…
Desert Lion says
I wonder – are they really stupid enough to try that at Arlington, perhaps even the Tomb of the Unknown? They don’t have to go far to find a national cemetery – they’re all over the country. This could earn them the 2015 Darwin Award.
Phil Sargent says
It sure would be nice when replying to someone’s comment, if you would acknowledge as to whom you are replying….Otherwise, your comments are very misleading and obviously confusing.
Ted Pawlikowski says
These bastards are no better than the radical Muslims who hate us.
Patricia Miles Muniz says
My husband and I stood guard with many many others from our city when these nut jobs tried to protest at a funeral for a local boy. We lined the streets, and Westboro was successfully turned back. The parents and family were protected from the insults and abominations that “church” spits out. My bet is that Westboro never crosses the state line on Wednesday.
Larry R.Newill says
If they don’t like the United States, Then why the hell don’t they get out.Need some of their own kind to do away with them. Their out to be a law that would stop these BASTARDS !!!!
Jim Lockwood says
Max Claymore, I’m sure you would be the one going to jail, but it’s a lose-lose either way huh! I also hope and pray that you will learn to control your thoughts, temper and tongue. God will be the judge on the church’s actions!!!
Sam I Am says
Where is this Westboro Baptist Church located ?? Is it a Southern Baptist Convention associated church, that likes to stir up controversy by telling convention church members what they can teach with their slanted materials? Is the whole church that way and if so they whoever they are, are not a church but a cult. Remember Jim Jones and the poisoned kool aid?????
Dave says
The more I read about this group, the more I wonder about the mental health of their leaders. I am not saying this to be mean or to make light of mental illness. I am just saying something is way off track here. Something is broken and needs healing!
Brock says
I would like to see these people protest in the middle East somewhere. They would be tortured and killed and most of their relatives also..they should appreciate the freedom that those honored gave their last full mesure of devotion to provide. Our country is going to politically correct itself into extinction if we don’t take it back on election day.
JANICE JAMES says
I THINK WE ALL NEED TO STOP CALLING THEM A CHURCH, THEY ARE A BAND OF FINATICS, THEY ARE A CULT NOT A CHURCH–DON’T DISHONOR THE REAL CHURCHES WITH GIVING THEM THE TITLE OF WESTBORO CHURCH,, THEY ARE A BUNCH OF EXTREMELY SINFUL HORRID ACTING PEOPLE.
