Westboro Members to Picket Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral

[sodbuster]

I just read more info about these extremist. I did not realize they were from Kansas. I had heard about them from my friend in NC that provides a ring around the  military funerals they have protested in North Carolina. Boy, that really hurts my Kansas pride.

According to a friend, BJU is  a very conservative fundamentalist Christian protestant school , but not Baptist either. It has  typical college majors along with lots of bible study classes available.They even have an education major to create teachers. Must be socialists in disguise!

You most likely won't find a BJU teacher teaching in public schools.  Very rare for it to happen.  Secondly, the majority of the grads are part of IFB churchs.  I grew up around them all my life.  One reason i don't go to IFB churches anymore.  Very legalistic in their theology.

As far as I can tell, he word "church" does not appear on the BJU website.  The "non-denominational protestant" description is there; whatever that means.

Srkruzich-
Not all that familiar with the legalism in so-called IFB churches.  However, it looks like more and more IFB's are becoming more liberal.
That's what I'm seeing when I'm on the road.  And you're right, there's many BJU grads with BJU influence in IFB churches.  Don't think any church should have the BJU mix, or much else for that matter.

No matter what religion these Westboro are, they are not any that I have known. The words in that handout was so far a cry from any kind of religion. They are basically stating that Elilzabeth Edward's medical problems were brought on by herself! Now come on!! I was always taught that God has a plan for us all. I can't imagine what his plan is for those Westboro people, but I am just guessing it's not a nice relaxing day in Heaven when their times come. What do you think?

Perhaps they will spend eternity being surrounded, right up close, by pickets who drown them out, who don't give them a chance to speak and they get no publicity....can I add bedbugs nibbling on their feet?
