Westboro Members to Picket Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral

Some of them have very good jobs and work for the State of Kansas.   If they really follow their religious belief system, then they don't do anything fun and would be able to funnel a lot of money into church activities.  More than 10% !

Perhaps their belief system is a hodge-podge of beliefs.  They use the name "Baptist", yet I'm thinking
they're BJU (methodists) people (or graduates therof).  Do they even know who is their own or what they are?

One of Freds granddaughters works at St.Francis Health care center here in Topeka. We have also heard they do work for the Saudi's and that is where they get there money for all the travels.

If you're speaking of BJU as Bob Jones University, that is NOT Methodist.....................................

[twirldoggy]

My thoughts are that they accept no one's belief system except their own, which is a delusional system.  The will be many irrationalities contained therein.  This is why the church membership will be small and contained to their own family members and maybe a few others who are involved in the shared delusional thought process.   

I do wonder about the Saudi connection.  Could you say more about this?

Last I heard Bob Jones University was Methodist.  Nowadyas, it might be hard to say what authority they are under, claim to be.

Westboro Baptist has no resemblance to the Methodist church that I grew up with in Kansas. Thank goodness I have a friend in Charlotte, NC that forms a protective ring around the services they wish to protest. (Also. they are not part of the Baptist Church I am familiar with, just a group of extemists like the jihadists of the Muslim faith).

There is ABSOLUTELY NO resemblance to the Methodist Church that I belong to.

BJU is not a methodist org. it is a Indepentant Fundamentalist Baptist group and they are a excessivly legalistic group. THey are so far out there that if Christ came down and stood before them they would call him a sinner.
Another one is hyles Anderson College.  Then you have liberty university.  Those three are extreme far right beyond conservative groups.
