She and anyone who leaves westboro deserve forgiveness. They were victims in a sense from childhood. They were brainwashed. The fact that some of them break out of this life is a miracle and it's admirable.
Brandon Petruska I appreciate your viewpoint dude, but these people are too far gone and too disgusting to deserve forgiveness. Anyone who pickets funerals of innocent children deserves nothing but severe torture
FreshOuttttttt That's not right though, it says in the bible that every sin is on the same level to God, stealing a pack of gum is equal to killing someone in his eyes. So in that, I feel like you should forgive everyone.
Matt Mcandrew I respect your opinion completely, but I feel if they'd protested the funeral of your dead child, you may feel differently. If not, props to you, but I couldn't forgive these people
FreshOuttttttt Oh of course man, I can never answer that question truthfully until (knock on wood) that were to happen to me. But as of now I have to think this way.
Here's another idea! Maybe they stole her as an infant! Consider, once someone firmly believes they're doing GOD's work, that's when they're capable of anything!
Tobias Walker They don't have any love for anyone except their imaginary friend up in the sky. Letting those people attempt to raise a child should be treated as child abuse.
Khalkara That's another reason I posted my other suggestion, that this girl isn't actually their daughter but someone they kidnapped and brainwashed. To me that actually makes more sense!
I adore this woman. To defy the brainwashing, to look for goodwill when she's been obsessively told to hate, to love and to have the amazing strength and courage she does to leave her family and do the right thing, is just wonderful and beautiful and commendable. I have so much respect, just so much respect. Thank you Libby from the bottom of my heart
+49Anthonie well too be fair, isn't goverments and warmachines around the world do the same ? i meen i've seen many politicians speak the words of the bible (or religious texts) before dropping bombs. just to have it said, im not supporting either sides in this or WBC. im just saying, were not gonna get rid of this problem until you see that books like the bible are giving humans the opertunity to hate what they fear.
Elizabeth Arndt I refuse to acknowledge them as a church. They are a cult, as they have all the basic traits associated with a Cult, including Infiltration, abuse of members, coercion, extortion and control of their members
I didn't see the society in the giver as evil. They were just different, and nobody knew anything else. I think it was about breaking away from the governments conformity, seeing the world how it really is, and trying to comprehend how Jonas lived before he started gaining knowledge
So much respect for her. She seems like a genuine and kind person, and I'm so happy that she has found a great husband and friends. God bless her, hopefully more people in her family follow in her footsteps.
+Shea I'll go to one and protest their protest, it will be a anti-protest protest, hopefully it will confuse them and make their small, singular minds blow up.
that must be hard, walking away from your entire family because your one of the very few sane ones left in it. she's strong, and i'm glad she was smarter than that. it's a shame her family is completely nuts.
+verywary bear Loving your mother is a given. Even those who abuse and lie and torment their children. A love for a mother is unconditional. I am happy that she escaped and now can enjoy her *Life*.
KatWilson2000 I dont have to. I know he was baptized. He started Christianity. If he'd been Jewish, he wouldn't believe in himself. He was haunted by the Jews.
I've noticed something. When I watch older videos of Libby when she was in the church, she had that typical demented Phelps smile, the smile Shirley has when she's picketing. Now when I see her videos, her smile seems much more natural, not demented like Shirley's.
I would guess because it was a fake smile. she was dying inside but had to put on a false smile to keep the family happy. Now she is free and genuinely happy
God bless her for leaving. I pray more family members follow in her footsteps and make the hard decision in breaking away from this evil family. I hope literally every member and child leaves until it is only the grandfather who founded this absurd cult to realize he has been completely wrong his entire life.
Unslim Slendy You're right I discovered that recently too. But even so, his son and daughters are still heavily invested in what they do so it's not like their cult will be dying down anytime soon.
djsarazen it also seems the garndfather was "excommunicated" for being more loving towards others right before his death. we can only hope he found god and realized the damage he was doing to his family and other people.
It's wonderful how so many of them had the courage and were able to leave. What I also find really wonderful is just how forgiving and accepting the "world" is and has been to everyone who got out.
Mad respect for this young lady. Imagine growing up in an environment that teaches you nothing but hate and still managing to break out of it and turning your entire life around. Welcome to the world! We're glad to have you.
can we please talk about how amazing the interviewer is?? like she's super supportive and she's not judgemental at all and she's just there, understanding how hard it must've been
I hope she doesn't give up on her faith. I am actually proud of her and others who leave cults like this and can see the truth. I hope and pray when they do leave that church they still hang on to their faith and embrace God for who He really is. Loving, Powerful, Wonderful and Awesome.
Georgina Seager as God says in His word "only a fool says in his heart there is no God" Seek and you will find. God exist. Always has. Always will. He is very much real. Those who don't believe are blind to the Truth. Just seek Him and you WILL find Him.
God bless you sweetheart for waking up and leaving that horrible place just an FYI we love you and are grateful for you for regretting your mistakes and moving on with your life
is there any way i can contact this girl? any email whatsoever? i have been following the WBC for several months now, watching a lot of their protests and their messages and i've started to actually believe what they said about me (i'm gay). when she said that the world isn't full of evil people i just cried and she made me feel so much better. i wanted to say how proud i am of her ...
I don't know her her contact or anything, but let me tell you sometime Robert. I'm Christian, and WBC is nothing but a trash cult and a hate group masquerading as Christians. I can name about 4-5 things right off the top of my that they could probably hang for. YOU DO NOT LET THESE SCUMBAGS SCARE YOU! They are liars, thieves, and bullies! The world has evil people, WBC is proof of that, but there is no doubt good people. Don't be scared and don't let the likes of people as slimy as this scare you into thinking otherwise. Have a nice day :D
I just did a search on Facebook and you can find her that way, although messages from strangers tend to go in an "other" folder in your inboxes. It is worth a shot though. And don't let anyone belittle you for being who you are, Robert. Take care.
I'm proud of this Girl: she didn't take her familiy's twisted Denomination and turn aganist God ,but she realized she had to do better. and she stayed with God as she did. PTL!
That might be the point. That's exactly the kind of verse WBC would point to in order to prove their "point." They wouldn't give any context either, but they would assert that they are right because the Bible says so.
+Immortal Maximus But when Americans kill other Americans it's OK? Because the Westboro Baptist Church teaches that everything happens according to God's will so doesn't that mean God willed Jesus to die?
Thank gosh (not God) that this wonderful, understanding woman made it out of that hellish place! She deserved a better start to life. I am lucky that my family is agnostic and accepting!!! 🙏🙌🙇
+stiras1 But that can be totally subjective. Brainwashing is not technically abuse, so children cannot get taken away. We can only hope these kids will think on their own but growing up hearing the same thing over and over from your parents, who you innately love and trust, can be extremely hard.
Alex xelA Many of them have experienced physical abuse. I've heard ex-members say they got beaten pretty badly. I bet they get home schooled too. The thing is, parents can't prevent kids from developing mentally. So if you screw up when their little, you can ruin their lives for ever. Look at the kids in the FLDS, many of them never even learned to read because state laws prevent the government to meddle with what education their parents want them to have.
Alex xelA Well Nathan Phelps who's the son of the founder and not in the church, he says his father beat his kids and his wife. As far as FLDS they force kids to leave their education and work for nothing. All their money go to the church. I think once a religious group isolates themselves from the rest of the world, that's when people should start to worry about what's happening on the inside. :( Anyway glad I could give you some info. I'm interested in cults. :P
stiras1 Great info! That's very interesting. I wonder why nothing is done? I thought it was against the law for children to be taken out of school (under 16 or 18)?
What a brave young woman! I hope more of these extremists who are only spreading hate, ignorance and intolerance finally realize how bad this so called 'church' is and leave. I guess it's very hard if you've been brainwashed by your own family your whole life, but at least this woman shows us (and hopefully some of her relatives too) that it IS possible to leave a cult like this and finally live a happy and free life as a tolerant person!
Romans 5:8 For God demonstrated His love for us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He died for us while we were in SIN because of HIS LOVE for us!!!
Rico theDemonSlayer Yeah, its a good law but these dimwits abuse the shit out of it. Only thing i can hope for is for aliens to exist somewhere within the billions of lightyears outside of earth and that they visit earth. Hopefully making religion obsolete. Inb4 people start praying to the aliens.
What a brave girl! It is the same story for me, only in the sense that I plan to leave a religious and abusive family behind in suburbia for Vancouver, Canada, and I am not telling them I'm moving. I have traveled a little and it is wonderful. I have done so many things I never would have done. In that sense I can sympathize w/ Mrs. Alvarez. Right on, Mrs. Alvarez!
IF any other members of Westboro Baptist Church are ready to leave that cult, I have established an ABOVE ROUND RAILROAD to help you. But you must be really willing to leave and be honest about it. There are people willing to help you escape before its too late and before Phelps pulls a Guyana on you. Ms. LaReina
I am just amazed at how many people believe in this book called the bible. They say its filled with God's word. I've hear the stories from the bible, and it hard for me to believe that smart, educated people, really believe that Mary had immaculate conception, and that women were created from a rib of the male. People actually believe this shit.
I thought god was all about being kind, loving, and noble. Have none of these people considered the possibility that what they are getting out of the bible is merely a test from god to decide whether they are kind, loving, noble and truly worthy of getting into heaven? Personally I don't really believe in god but if there was one I wouldn't imagine an almighty, all-knowing being to act as foolish as they do.
***** They've nit picked the bad parts and you'v nit picked the good parts. What's the difference? They are both just butchering the Holy Book. Why not abandon the Bible and practice being kind, loving and noble without the fiction that both you and Westboro disregard anyway?
***** So you're talking about a religion and you have no concept of the basis of the religion? You're arguing about what the religion represents based on word-of-mouth you heard from those who ALSO haven't read the book? ...
rikoLas Um why do you think I'm taking a basis off of people who have not read the bible lol? No, from a lot of good Christians I know, that is usually what they think God and the bible represents. And why are you trying to start an argument over a fictional book dude? Lol
I am an atheist and I admit I haven't always been totally okay with religion, but now I'm totally fine with it. I, for some reason, thought most religious people were close-minded. I know this is definitely not the case and every religion has a bad group, but these WBBC people are seriously ill. I can't believe such horrible people exist. I'm starting to hate them more and more and loving everyone else in the world because I can't imagine there being much worse.
I used to be an atheist. Now I think it's really, really dumb. I don't fault you for that. But you must announce that you are for a reason. Perhaps you are waiting for someone to come to you with all the answers to your many questions?
Very inspiring. Sometimes you have to take everything you thought you knew and flush it down the drain. Now she is not a robot, but an asset to society and herself.
I'm so proud of this woman for leaving her hateful family. Although her family were nasty to so many people, it's hard to leave everyone & everything you've ever known. And on top, you have no idea what's ahead of you, if it's good, etc. She was so courageous! Two others have left as well since she left. I'm proud of them too.
As a recovered Jehovahs Witness, I'm not one to defend them, but I do think that they turn against their own, as opposed to the outside. In fact, just the opposite, they appear overly nice and loving, until you cross them.
God and the bible are crazy. Everything the WBC does is supported by the bible and god. they are only following what god tells them. And you are not, so you really don't believe in your bible or your god if you are beliving something different.
nashkita77 who are you to say someone is wrong? there is so many MAN MADE religions who's to say which one is right or wrong? the whole idea of a "god" in my OPINION is straight bullshit, but if he is real which i strangely dont think so, i would rather go to hell then to bow before such a selfish god like the WBC thinks of him as
the problem with this woman and her church is that God said it is not our place to judge. there has got to be a better way to spread Gods word and warning.
I want to know if anyone from the WBC has ever picked up a bible and read it. Seams like they haven't. God loves everyone. God forgives all sin. God is love and love is through God. In the bible it says that if we can not love our neighbor like we love our brother we cannot love God. There for we cannot go to heaven. Good luck getting into heaven WBC. You'll always be in my prayers. Oh...... And ps. I'm gay.
As a soldier myself I don't agree with the Westboro baptist church or their views but I will fight to the death for anyone's right's. Including theirs. Because I raised my right hand swore that I would.
As did I back in 2006 when I was 17 and fresh out of high school...But you know what? If there ever was the possibility for an exception, these people would be it. I would not pull one of them from a burning building. I wouldn't push one of them out of the way of a shooter that had them in their sights. I wouldn't toss them a blanket if they were trapped on a snow-covered mountain highway, and I'd not raise a single eye brow if they one day found themselves sued and silenced into oblivion. I've seen first-hand what they are like, and it is sickening beyond what I can describe, man. They surrendered their human decency to staggering degrees. Fuck them.
If you haven't seen them up close and hear for yourself what they say, then I don't think I can really describe it any better, man. It's a disrespect and stabbing hurt that I don't know how to better describe. These are not decent human beings, and they don't deserve to be treated like they are. They fucking smile and laugh as people in the group started to get distressed. I won't protect them or their rights. They can be the sole exception. I'd sooner support the KKK; at least they don't fucking picket funerals.
This young lady was so brave as to leave her entire family to save herself. I hope that others in the Westboro Baptist Church will be brave enough to leave as well. I don't understand how her family could never talk to her again and never shed a tear.
I would never live my life based off a book that was based and written so long ago. You honestly can't because our society is so different half of the stuff we do would be considered a sin. Also people hide behind the bible when ever they try to make an ignorant statement and look like the bible agrees. But I always think I'm the bible which you are referencing it says not to judge as well so.......
God hates Israel? Really? Genesis 12 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Israel is God people !!!
+Immortal Maximus ----Adhere: stick fast to (a surface or substance) I googled the definition of the word you gave me. God loves Israel dude, It's all over the bible!
God doesn't tell them to do these things growing up as a Christian the bible never said that God hated gay people. In fact all it says is that God doesn't like what they do, it never ever has said that God hates them as a person. God doesn't hate Jews. God is literally Jewish. Jewish people have an advantage, in the bible it says that when Jesus comes down to earth to take his church that all people who died Christians will rise with the rest of us and go to heaven. The others who didn't reach out to find God will stay here on earth they will have (I think I'm not very sure) 3-7 years of good fortune [as in free food and healthy life] until the after Christ comes. Once the after Christ comes in the bible it says that the people who stay in order to buy things they will need to put on a stamp that they show and then get what they want. Jewish people who stayed on earth are the only ones who get a second chance to go back to heaven. And the people from different races that stayed
(Im not very sure if this will happen or not, I have t really looked into it) will possibly get another chance. All the things these people are saying are wrong.
Good. She realised her wrong doing with wbc. She had awakened from a brainwashed evil mind to a good person. If more members of wbc were like this, christianity would have had so much more respect.
+Lemmy Kilturtle Yes Religion has lost it's credibility. These people are extreme... we have dino bones that date further back than When 'God' created the earth .. according to Genesis... So first chapter of the bible is ....fabrication.... People..... think for yourself!
Steve P Great, we agree. But I was asking the original poster because it seems like he thinks that religion doesn't have respect because the wbc. But I tend to agree more with you, it has little to do with these extremist groups, and more to do with the religion itself.
+Football guy 1000 They have not practiced stoning, or any thing of the sort, for quite some time. Definitely the difference that separates them from Muslims.
+Football guy 1000 That is the Old Testament, when Jesus died on the cross that's when everything changed and that's why today's Christians practice the New Testament which shows more love and understanding.
+Iced PvM your right because they don't understand Gods love period I am a Christian and I do believe it is sin to be homosexual and I believe that it's in Gods word but I also believe that God loves them just as much as he loves me the people of this "church" do not understand Gods nature or Gods love and I applaud her for getting away from them I pay that God opens the eyes of the others
She and anyone who leaves westboro deserve forgiveness. They were victims in a sense from childhood. They were brainwashed. The fact that some of them break out of this life is a miracle and it's admirable.
Anyone still in that church deserves forgiveness man. EVERYONE deserves forgiveness.

To this individual, I say, "Welcome to the human race."

GamerZero ya
Hey you with the pretty face-
welcome, you're gonna like it here :D
she's so brave. so glad she decided to leave
People with that much hate in their lives....how could they manage enough love and effort to have a child?
Tobias Walker RAPE!
Quinn Fletcher I considered that....but didn't want to post it....I think we can both agree there's enough vile shit with this video!
Here's another idea! Maybe they stole her as an infant! Consider, once someone firmly believes they're doing GOD's work, that's when they're capable of anything!
Tobias Walker They don't have any love for anyone except their imaginary friend up in the sky. Letting those people attempt to raise a child should be treated as child abuse.

Thy’re such a shame and a disgrace to Christianity
Are the 26 dislikes the 26 members of the westboro Baptist "church"?
Probably
Elizabeth Arndt i doubt they're allowed to use the internet
Elizabeth Arndt I refuse to acknowledge them as a church. They are a cult, as they have all the basic traits associated with a Cult, including Infiltration, abuse of members, coercion, extortion and control of their members
Elizabeth Arndt lol good eye! :)
Lone Wolf Amen to that!
This is most definitely without a doubt a cult.
I was thinking the same thing
Aniya Santiago ikr papa
They’re such a shame to Christianity I wish this bs Westboro stops
Yeah
So sad. What a courageous young woman.
idk why, but this story reminds me of the giver, because she saw a world full of hate, and then she saw what love and happiness is.
Nice comparison
The giver is one of the very few books that I've ever read and I don't think that this comparison makes much sense
+COWBOYZ1960 tbh you didn't get the true meaning of it then.
I didn't see the society in the giver as evil. They were just different, and nobody knew anything else. I think it was about breaking away from the governments conformity, seeing the world how it really is, and trying to comprehend how Jonas lived before he started gaining knowledge
I’ve read that book, it was good
So much respect for her. She seems like a genuine and kind person, and I'm so happy that she has found a great husband and friends. God bless her, hopefully more people in her family follow in her footsteps.
She is a very brave - and honest - woman. I wish her well.
Someday I'm gonna go to one of their protests and just kiss my girlfriend In front of them 😂
+Shea I'll go to one and protest their protest, it will be a anti-protest protest, hopefully it will confuse them and make their small, singular minds blow up.
Let's all just gather there and kiss people of the same sex

I'm clearly only kidding around... get in tune with your humurous side :)*****
That is a strong person.

@@CrystalCoyoteX I agree with you x
Good for her! I'm so glad that she has so much courage to stand up to what is right and what she believes in!

How can they hate Jews if Jesus was Jewish
Right, like wtf,
+KatWilson2000 He wasn't. He was baptized.
+Definitely Not Dingse! Jesus' religion and nationality was Jewish. Do your homework.
KatWilson2000 I dont have to. I know he was baptized. He started Christianity. If he'd been Jewish, he wouldn't believe in himself.
He was haunted by the Jews.
+Definitely Not Dingse! He was not 'haunted by the Jews'. His nationality and religion was Jewish from birth,so how was he haunted by his own blood?
Thank God someone left that cult

I'm so proud of you. Go out in the world and love people, it feels amazing. I'm so excited for your new life, I know it's hard, you're doing great.
Aw. This made me feel hope for her. Good luck out there!
I feel sorry for her. Being raised in such a horrid place. The wesbro church need to be destroyed. Seriously it's time to stop all this madness.
Libby is a hero.
yes!
No she's not. If she assassinated her entire family, maybe.
It's wonderful how so many of them had the courage and were able to leave. What I also find really wonderful is just how forgiving and accepting the "world" is and has been to everyone who got out.

Wasn't Jesus a Jew?

People like that should have their kids taken away. Their hatred can die with them, and their kids should get the chance to see what love is.
+stiras1 But that can be totally subjective. Brainwashing is not technically abuse, so children cannot get taken away. We can only hope these kids will think on their own but growing up hearing the same thing over and over from your parents, who you innately love and trust, can be extremely hard.

The thing is, parents can't prevent kids from developing mentally. So if you screw up when their little, you can ruin their lives for ever.
Look at the kids in the FLDS, many of them never even learned to read because state laws prevent the government to meddle with what education their parents want them to have.
stiras1 Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the info!
Alex xelA Well Nathan Phelps who's the son of the founder and not in the church, he says his father beat his kids and his wife.
As far as FLDS they force kids to leave their education and work for nothing. All their money go to the church.
I think once a religious group isolates themselves from the rest of the world, that's when people should start to worry about what's happening on the inside. :(
Anyway glad I could give you some info. I'm interested in cults. :P
stiras1 Great info! That's very interesting. I wonder why nothing is done? I thought it was against the law for children to be taken out of school (under 16 or 18)?
What a brave young woman! I hope more of these extremists who are only spreading hate, ignorance and intolerance finally realize how bad this so called 'church' is and leave. I guess it's very hard if you've been brainwashed by your own family your whole life, but at least this woman shows us (and hopefully some of her relatives too) that it IS possible to leave a cult like this and finally live a happy and free life as a tolerant person!
Good for her! Anyone that leaves the "church" is awesome
That takes a lot of bravery, congratulations Libby ❤️
She deserves so much love and acceptance for the rest of her life. I’m so sorry she had to grow up like this.
Romans 5:8 For God demonstrated His love for us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
He died for us while we were in SIN because of HIS LOVE for us!!!
how WBC members are not locked up in a straight jacket i'll never know.
Rico theDemonSlayer Yeah, its a good law but these dimwits abuse the shit out of it. Only thing i can hope for is for aliens to exist somewhere within the billions of lightyears outside of earth and that they visit earth. Hopefully making religion obsolete. Inb4 people start praying to the aliens.
I wish I could hug you, Libby. Bless you for your strength. The WBC is a cult and preaches nothing of the loving Jesus I know.
What a brave girl! It is the same story for me, only in the sense that I plan to leave a religious and abusive family behind in suburbia for Vancouver, Canada, and I am not telling them I'm moving. I have traveled a little and it is wonderful. I have done so many things I never would have done. In that sense I can sympathize w/ Mrs. Alvarez. Right on, Mrs. Alvarez!
this girl is pure af. even though her family was awful to her, she still was sad to leave them cuz she loved her family omfg she's an angel!!!!
IF any other members of Westboro Baptist Church are ready to leave that cult, I have established an ABOVE ROUND RAILROAD to help you. But you must be really willing to leave and be honest about it. There are people willing to help you escape before its too late and before Phelps pulls a Guyana on you.
Ms. LaReina
I meant ABOVE GROUND RAILROAD.
You mean "pulls a Jonestown on you."
I am just amazed at how many people believe in this book called the bible. They say its filled with God's word. I've hear the stories from the bible, and it hard for me to believe that smart, educated people, really believe that Mary had immaculate conception, and that women were created from a rib of the male. People actually believe this shit.
You have heard the stories. Have you actually read them? Just curious...
No, I have never read the bible. Tried once or twice, but lost interest quickly.
Why are you amazed? People believe soap opera and wrestling are real.
I'm amazed that people think those things are real too!
Brian Newton
So am I lol. It is quite sad how serious they take them
Pierced ears!? She's living the high life now!
GreenBanana 😂😂😂
i love this lady so much
Im VERY proud of the girl in this video you are the sunshine in that horrible place ♡
Perhaps it would be best to stop giving the WBC air time.
It gets air time because you watch.
I thought god was all about being kind, loving, and noble. Have none of these people considered the possibility that what they are getting out of the bible is merely a test from god to decide whether they are kind, loving, noble and truly worthy of getting into heaven? Personally I don't really believe in god but if there was one I wouldn't imagine an almighty, all-knowing being to act as foolish as they do.
***** Exactly, and they are failing that test.
***** They've nit picked the bad parts and you'v nit picked the good parts. What's the difference? They are both just butchering the Holy Book. Why not abandon the Bible and practice being kind, loving and noble without the fiction that both you and Westboro disregard anyway?
rikoLas I've never read the stupid book so I haven't nitpicked shit punk.
***** So you're talking about a religion and you have no concept of the basis of the religion? You're arguing about what the religion represents based on word-of-mouth you heard from those who ALSO haven't read the book? ...
rikoLas Um why do you think I'm taking a basis off of people who have not read the bible lol? No, from a lot of good Christians I know, that is usually what they think God and the bible represents. And why are you trying to start an argument over a fictional book dude? Lol
I am an atheist and I admit I haven't always been totally okay with religion, but now I'm totally fine with it. I, for some reason, thought most religious people were close-minded. I know this is definitely not the case and every religion has a bad group, but these WBBC people are seriously ill. I can't believe such horrible people exist. I'm starting to hate them more and more and loving everyone else in the world because I can't imagine there being much worse.
|-/
+josh in my pants |-/
tbh most heavily religious people I've met are closed minded.
+ScoffSlaphead72 Key word: most. Not all.
I used to be an atheist. Now I think it's really, really dumb. I don't fault you for that. But you must announce that you are for a reason. Perhaps you are waiting for someone to come to you with all the answers to your many questions?
Very inspiring. Sometimes you have to take everything you thought you knew and flush it down the drain. Now she is not a robot, but an asset to society and herself.
I'm so proud of this woman for leaving her hateful family. Although her family were nasty to so many people, it's hard to leave everyone & everything you've ever known. And on top, you have no idea what's ahead of you, if it's good, etc. She was so courageous! Two others have left as well since she left. I'm proud of them too.
We all need to remember, she was and remains a victim. She grew up not knowing any better... she deserves props for leaving the church.
I agree. I can just feel pity and kind of admiration.
Props? Okay, I'll get the explosi-
*slap*
This isn't g-mod.
Wouldn't it have been ironic if se became a lesbian?
Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses take note.
Jehovah's are actually nice people just a bit pestering when you say no
themaster8902 Just say no.
Mormons are nice people, too when you're not trying to genocide them.
William Arnett I think everyone would be a little edgy if you tried to genocide them
As a recovered Jehovahs Witness, I'm not one to defend them, but I do think that they turn against their own, as opposed to the outside. In fact, just the opposite, they appear overly nice and loving, until you cross them.
Thank god she turned her life around. That's a blessing.
Unbelievably strong woman. I wish her all the best
God bless her for leaving that crazy family
God and the bible are crazy. Everything the WBC does is supported by the bible and god. they are only following what god tells them. And you are not, so you really don't believe in your bible or your god if you are beliving something different.
nashkita77 who are you to say someone is wrong? there is so many MAN MADE religions who's to say which one is right or wrong? the whole idea of a "god" in my OPINION is straight bullshit, but if he is real which i strangely dont think so, i would rather go to hell then to bow before such a selfish god like the WBC thinks of him as
the problem with this woman and her church is that God said it is not our place to judge. there has got to be a better way to spread Gods word and warning.

"I was brainwashed into thinking I wasn't brainwashed" Damn! That's powerful.
I'm so proud of her
I want to know if anyone from the WBC has ever picked up a bible and read it. Seams like they haven't. God loves everyone. God forgives all sin. God is love and love is through God. In the bible it says that if we can not love our neighbor like we love our brother we cannot love God. There for we cannot go to heaven. Good luck getting into heaven WBC. You'll always be in my prayers. Oh...... And ps. I'm gay.
I'm so proud of her for leaving
As a soldier myself I don't agree with the Westboro baptist church or their views but I will fight to the death for anyone's right's. Including theirs. Because I raised my right hand swore that I would.
As did I back in 2006 when I was 17 and fresh out of high school...But you know what? If there ever was the possibility for an exception, these people would be it. I would not pull one of them from a burning building. I wouldn't push one of them out of the way of a shooter that had them in their sights. I wouldn't toss them a blanket if they were trapped on a snow-covered mountain highway, and I'd not raise a single eye brow if they one day found themselves sued and silenced into oblivion. I've seen first-hand what they are like, and it is sickening beyond what I can describe, man. They surrendered their human decency to staggering degrees.
Fuck them.
If you haven't seen them up close and hear for yourself what they say, then I don't think I can really describe it any better, man. It's a disrespect and stabbing hurt that I don't know how to better describe. These are not decent human beings, and they don't deserve to be treated like they are.
They fucking smile and laugh as people in the group started to get distressed. I won't protect them or their rights. They can be the sole exception. I'd sooner support the KKK; at least they don't fucking picket funerals.
This young lady was so brave as to leave her entire family to save herself. I hope that others in the Westboro Baptist Church will be brave enough to leave as well. I don't understand how her family could never talk to her again and never shed a tear.
Amazing, brave woman....A real inspiration.
2:07 ''Praying for people to die'' What the actual fuck has this world gone to
WBC prays for people to die? That is some sick shit. And picketing a funeral? Is that allowed??? I never heard of such a thing.
I would never live my life based off a book that was based and written so long ago. You honestly can't because our society is so different half of the stuff we do would be considered a sin. Also people hide behind the bible when ever they try to make an ignorant statement and look like the bible agrees. But I always think I'm the bible which you are referencing it says not to judge as well so.......
in 2000 years we'll have the Church of Saint Potter....
More power to her !!! Thats a brave step to take !!
She is so strong. God bless her.
God doesn't hate anyone, he a fable, a fairy tale, just ignore idiots
True that!
God hates Israel? Really? Genesis 12 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Israel is God people !!!
Btw. Jesus was jewish! So what interpretation does she have for that one!!
Wait wasn't Israel mentioned tons of times throughout the bible?
Yah Christianity literally came from Israel and all of those places
+Immortal Maximus but he still doesn't hate her. Like when you have a bad child that pisses you you off, but you still love him.
+Immortal Maximus ----Adhere: stick fast to (a surface or substance)
I googled the definition of the word you gave me. God loves Israel dude, It's all over the bible!
DOG HATES BAGS
Did I do it right?
I'm proud
You Sir, are a blessing.
This made me cry.
I just want to say not all baptist churches are like westboro
99% of baptist churches are not like Westboro, regina.
Westboro isn't recognized by the baptist church, or any other for that matter!
Of course. wbb is not baptist at all. I could call a dog a donkey, yet that doesn't make it true.
***** Or peoples. Or republic. I mean, technically speaking they have an election. But with only one candidate.
If there is a god then hes on her side
God doesn't tell them to do these things growing up as a Christian the bible never said that God hated gay people. In fact all it says is that God doesn't like what they do, it never ever has said that God hates them as a person. God doesn't hate Jews. God is literally Jewish. Jewish people have an advantage, in the bible it says that when Jesus comes down to earth to take his church that all people who died Christians will rise with the rest of us and go to heaven. The others who didn't reach out to find God will stay here on earth they will have (I think I'm not very sure) 3-7 years of good fortune [as in free food and healthy life] until the after Christ comes. Once the after Christ comes in the bible it says that the people who stay in order to buy things they will need to put on a stamp that they show and then get what they want. Jewish people who stayed on earth are the only ones who get a second chance to go back to heaven. And the people from different races that stayed
(Im not very sure if this will happen or not, I have t really looked into it) will possibly get another chance. All the things these people are saying are wrong.
So True! And.. Fandom |-/
+JøshDunsBestFrensBlurryFaceØwnedByTylerJoseph Hun yus fandom |-/
+Phanic At The Fall Of The Chemical Romance Boy Fandooooom |-/
Wow you know a lot of things
I'm proud of her for doing what she did and sacrificing being hated strongly for finding true joy in The Lord. You go girl
God bless this girl shes free from a life a misery, pain and evil! xx
Good. She realised her wrong doing with wbc. She had awakened from a brainwashed evil mind to a good person. If more members of wbc were like this, christianity would have had so much more respect.
+Pramu Dananjaya You think christianity doesn't get respect because the wbc exists?
+Lemmy Kilturtle Well, yeah. Non-religious people did way more shit in the past that Christians, get your fucking facts right
+Lemmy Kilturtle Yes
Religion has lost it's credibility. These people are extreme...
we have dino bones that date further back than When 'God' created the earth .. according to Genesis...
So first chapter of the bible is ....fabrication....
People..... think for yourself!
Steve P
Great, we agree. But I was asking the original poster because it seems like he thinks that religion doesn't have respect because the wbc. But I tend to agree more with you, it has little to do with these extremist groups, and more to do with the religion itself.
Shirley....did you know Jesus is Jewish? just thought I would let you know....
+Barby Alley and had brown skin
+Immortal Maximus
sorry to say, it happened.
They might get under peoples skin. But at least they are not beheading the "heathens" or blowing themselves up
+Football guy 1000 They have not practiced stoning, or any thing of the sort, for quite some time. Definitely the difference that separates them from Muslims.
+Football guy 1000 That is the Old Testament, when Jesus died on the cross that's when everything changed and that's why today's Christians practice the New Testament which shows more love and understanding.
+Aniya Santiago Exactly! Why don't people get this??
+Aniya Santiago well there's not very much love and understanding in the wbc
+Iced PvM your right because they don't understand Gods love period I am a Christian and I do believe it is sin to be homosexual and I believe that it's in Gods word but I also believe that God loves them just as much as he loves me the people of this "church" do not understand Gods nature or Gods love and I applaud her for getting away from them I pay that God opens the eyes of the others
Strong and courageous girl. It is not easy to get out and start alone.
Libby,
We are all proud of you and your choice. LOVE is the true word of G-D.
That is the only way our world will continue.
Vince
