I often have daydreams about an angry young man whose father was a U.S. soldier that died in Iraq and his funeral was picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church. He got fed up with the disrespect Fred Phelps pummeled his family with until he finally snapped. He broke into the Topeka Kansas army storage base, stole a tank, and blew up the WBC with the deadliest missile he had. Rather than getting life in federal prison without parole, he won a golden hero of the year award.
I am curious as to how his sister was treated when learning she was pregnant and had a child out of wedlock. She claims God redeemed her. I'd love to have heard that conversation.
Listen to what Elizabeth Taylor said , she was furious and not doing anything we need all to band together and do something and do something. Human spirit is more powerful than these people.
I love this guy. Takes alot of guts to turn away from your parents who have been doing this to you for years and trying to brainwash you. Glad he saw the light and knew that it was all total crap.
I don't know this man but from here. It's so amazing this man found his own way which was the right way. No other way of saying to him but I say CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM. SERIOUSLY.
@MrDawggie From speaking engagements and law suits. Several members of the family are lawyers. They make money and feed off of the attention they get from their vile actions.
@PlanetaryHealer i wont pretend to be an expert on that book but i do know its not as hateful as those fools are.I mean i know there are some radical things on there but seriously,,,they take it to a whole new level
@HepburnFlicks As much as I would love to believe this. If no one showed up to speak against them, they would only see it as a sign that they are even more right (than they think now). Its best to show that people will speak up against their hate, and show that evil will not go unnoticed.
All of you people need to realise that people are individual and have the ability and the right to be different. You and everyone you know is different. We are human, not some type of machine that is made in a shop or factory to exact standards. We have faulty and defective parts and those are what make us as we are, no amount of words or arguing or mud slinging is going to change the way a person is, so please stop hating and get off you're computers.
at least he is speaking how he feels. those are his true feelings. he is not afraid to speak his mind. i have always loved Elizabeth Taylor, as a actress, which she was one of the very best ever, and she seemed to care about what she was doing.
@NYG4LIFE123 Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth. I just chuckled when she asked that and got ready to change videos. Her tone before she said that kinda hinted at what direction she was going to.
'No one's going to picket Fred Phelps' funeral'? I don't think so, I think there's going to be an absolutely massive protest, and, sadly, WBC is going to relish it.
It's amazing how someone like Fred Phelps could sire someone as intelligentt and gracious as his son, Nate. I thank God that Nate was able to escape the clutches of that sick, madman.
I so agree that a counter-protest movement would be absolutely the best thing. Think about, racist countries and ideals were brought down by counter protests. The westboro's hate can only inspire others to love and share messages of equality.
Fred Phelp's obsession with gays is truly perverse, but when he eventually dies, his daughter appears willing & able of leading their family cult, continuing his hate campaign. Kudos to this estranged son for escaping their vile brainwashing.
The state needs to take those children away from the parents of Westboro. It is flat out child abuse and they WILL be scarred for life if nothing happens
It's been said that *"you should never speak ill of the dead,"* and for the most part, I agree. Given the way Fred Phelps treated his family and the world around him however, he deserves to be spoken ill of. I doubt that God will have anything nice to say about Fred Phelps, or the Westboro Baptist Church. Phelps made God the enemy, so God's acting like an enemy, punishing severely Fred Phelps. *He's* the one who will be going to Hell.
The second I heard Joy Behar ask "Do you think he's closeted himself" she destroyed her credibility for the rest of the interview/discussion. Look, I think these WBC people are nuts too, but she displayed the psychoanalytical abilities of a 1st grader there.
I wish more would listen to Nate. No hate will stop them. We have to do loving things in their presence to unbrainwash members. All members who left have left because they want a life full of love. We need to temp them with it. We need hugathons and inflatable slides and perky music. If they celebrate someone's death, we must celebrate life. As long as they protest, they should hear the opposite message with open arms from us. They need to hear we will welcome them if they choose love over hate.
@mickey3348 As much as I would love to see this happen, sadly with people as far gone as the WBC, it just wouldn't happen. They see no one oppressing them, and step up their game even trying to get control of what ever power they could. If no one continued to fight against them or just ignore them... scarey thought.
The only way to hurt WBBC and shut them up... is a total media blackout of all protest... that includes removing all video from youtube and the rest of the internet. As long as they have a forum, or outlet for their hate they will continue.
The so-called media empowers these people. They media should focus its power on covering their funeral protests so that those that stand against them are empowered. What happens instead? These individuals are invited onto CNN, MSNBC etc., which provides them with a platform to attract like minded individuals. They know exactly what they're doing.
I say we beat Fred Phelps at his own game. He thought he was the king of hate and cruelty? He ain't see nothing yet. I'll start : when Fred Phelps goes, that would be after 20 painful bedridden yrs of suffering from a combo of 12unspeakable ailments. He was granted an exit out of his misery when his deranged daughter forgets to take her medication 3 days in a roll and becomes so out of it that she cuts out his hemarrhoid and stuffs it down his throat.
@MsGeekomatic How funny is that....They are exactly the very thing they detest against, when it comes to the stereotypical view of a Jew. (Nothing against Jews)"That's thier words,not mine".. O_o"
I am not a fan of Fred Phelps either but it was very insensitive of Joy Behar to ask her son if his father was a closeted gay himself...Not that that there is anything wrong with being gay.Good for you Nate Phelps for speaking against his family...but please be more sensitive when speaking to any family member.
That was a little bit harsh when she said hopefully he'll die soon, but then again I really agree with her when she says that. Fred Phelps is nothing but a hateful, evil, spiteful person.
He has it exactly right - this is exactly what the father wants. He is a sick person who craves attention and he gets it - either from the quiet obedience and fear his children have, or in the tears of everyone who is affected by his intolerant words.
I love Elizabeth Taylor. Not just for her suberb acting abilities but even with her stunning beauty she was a phenomenal, noble human being who dedicated the later part of her life for a very good cause and to make people aware.
It depends on how you read it. Christians are only supposed to follow the moral ordinances of the New testament and use the old testament as a comparison. Also..there's a lot of metaphorical language that people use literally when it really shouldn't be.
One thing to remember Fred Phelps has a very strong influence on the entire family meaning those whom still are a part of it. Fred Phelps has brainwashe them all through violence as well as mental abuse. I think we will se more of the members that will leave Fred Phelps when his sick hypnosis doesnt work anymore. Its hard to blame the entire family cause those You really should blame is Fred Phelps.
The little ticker-thingy at that bottom of the screen says that fred phelps is the pastor of westboro baptist church. fred phelps can HARDLY be truly called a pastor, the Baptist denomination does NOT claim them as one of their own, and that hate group called westboro baptist church is NOT a church. Therefore, it should read, "Nate's Father fred phelps is the 'Pastor' for the westboro 'baptist' so-called 'church'".
The first thing that comes to mind is to picket freds funeral but that is what they want the best way to get at them is very hard to do but it is to ignore them. They cannot stand it when they are not pissing people off.To me the worst one is Steve drain the others were born into it . He threw his daughter out when she questioned their way. So he chose fred Phelps over his Daughter, he will never see his grandchildren. i have a 17 year old daughter and i dont care what she does I will be there
. This horrible man has a family of lawyers. They get people so mad that eventually these people take a swing at them. Then they sue. That's it. It is all about money. Freaks!
Why does Kansas DCF allow this extended family to keep their children, and there are lots of kids. Watch videos on what they put kids through. As a therapist, I argue this is nothing less than human sacrifice, and needs to be treated that way. These kids are aggressively mind controlled daily from birth with slogans and songs and preachin' on hate. They are not allowed free will. It's obvious mind numbing psychological abuse to me. I hope it is to you as well and that you'll consider helping.
@littlebit19801 It actually is proven that there is a link between homophobia and homosexual suppression. It certainly doesn't mean that every homophobe is a closet-case, but it's not a baseless assumption.
It's not Malakai it's Malakos literally meaning "soft ones." I do not believe this is referring to homosexuals either. Most every verse concern male/male contact is referring to it in the aspect of Idolatry (Temple priests consecrated to a false god), Pederasty (Men on boy prostitution). There is absolutely nothing in scripture in it's original manuscripts that elude to God condemning homosexuals. In fact quite the contrary Jesus referenced to them as Eunuchs born so from the womb in Matthew.
@dafttool I don't think she can, though. Considering the women have to cover their hair in their church services, would they let a woman be their pastor? I think they'd want another man once Fred has gone. However, they're losing lots of members (Shirley claims this is a good thing) so I can't see them going on forever.
galinka45, I'm sorry you feel this way. Nate has every right to speak up as his father is privately suffering. Perhaps you too are suffering. God love you. I challenge you to take a little time to pray and listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say. I pray that the peace of of our all loving God come upon you. Blessings.
fred phelps is indeed a horrible man but it was kinda harsh when they said they hope he dies soon and they laughed, especially since his son was present. Dunno seemed a tiny bit disrespectful and inappropriate and hypocritical considering rejoicing at death is what the disgusting WBC do.
In fact the more you study you find out a Prophecy was given to these Eunuchs in the end days. Look up The Bed keeper here on TH-cam. He discusses it in detail and wrote a book on the subject. These Westboro folk really are illiterate about their bible.

All their children should be taken into protective custody immediately.

Listen to what Elizabeth Taylor said , she was furious and not doing anything we need all to band together and do something and do something. Human spirit is more powerful than these people.
rest in peace eliza taylor
u will be missed.
I know EXACTLY who would picket the funeral of Fred Phelps, the families of the dead soldiers and gay people who were victimized by the WBC.
I love this guy. Takes alot of guts to turn away from your parents who have been doing this to you for years and trying to brainwash you. Glad he saw the light and knew that it was all total crap.
I don't know this man but from here. It's so amazing this man found his own way which was the right way. No other way of saying to him but I say CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM. SERIOUSLY.
One of the daughters did that.
Liz Taylor I get. But Natasha Richardson??? What did she do to tick off the crazies at Westboro?
take away westboro rights. You Go Nate!

I have deep admiration and respect for Nate Phelps and Lauren Drain.
I can see Nate hurting there, I feel for him.
All of you people need to realise that people are individual and have the ability and the right to be different. You and everyone you know is different. We are human, not some type of machine that is made in a shop or factory to exact standards.

I thought the same thing. not very professional. But yeah, Fred can go "split hell in two" any time he wants.
We need to all pull together and picket our Gov't BOTH SIDES! DEMNAND TRUTH!
Fred Phelps should be proud of his son!!..:P
@NYG4LIFE123 Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth. I just chuckled when she asked that and got ready to change videos. Her tone before she said that kinda hinted at what direction she was going to.
'No one's going to picket Fred Phelps' funeral'? I don't think so, I think there's going to be an absolutely massive protest, and, sadly, WBC is going to relish it.
And Lauren!
It's amazing how someone like Fred Phelps could sire someone as intelligentt and gracious as his son, Nate.
I thank God that Nate was able to escape the clutches of that sick, madman.
Bless you,Nate!
Fred Phelps = Pure Evil
At least one member of the Phelps family is a rational human being. Go Nate!
His brother Mark and sister Dortha are the same as him.
For?
Would it be reasonable if WBC can just protest in a sound proof glass box? They can spread their message from their mouths, and we won't hear it.
I so agree that a counter-protest movement would be absolutely the best thing. Think about, racist countries and ideals were brought down by counter protests. The westboro's hate can only inspire others to love and share messages of equality.
Love Joy. Loud mouth and pro-gay! More power to you, lady!
Is that the CBC logo behind him ?
@notabotta I'm in! I'll makes the signs.
Fred Phelp's obsession with gays is truly perverse, but when he eventually dies, his daughter appears willing & able of leading their family cult, continuing his hate campaign. Kudos to this estranged son for escaping their vile brainwashing.
The state needs to take those children away from the parents of Westboro. It is flat out child abuse and they WILL be scarred for life if nothing happens
They failed to take Nate away when he was a boy.
It's been said that *"you should never speak ill of the dead,"* and for the most part, I agree. Given the way Fred Phelps treated his family and the world around him however, he deserves to be spoken ill of. I doubt that God will have anything nice to say about Fred Phelps, or the Westboro Baptist Church. Phelps made God the enemy, so God's acting like an enemy, punishing severely Fred Phelps. *He's* the one who will be going to Hell.
Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity Nate!!!!
God Bless Nate Phelps
The second I heard Joy Behar ask "Do you think he's closeted himself" she destroyed her credibility for the rest of the interview/discussion.
Look, I think these WBC people are nuts too, but she displayed the psychoanalytical abilities of a 1st grader there.
Wow! I can't believe she said all that on air! LOL! Holy smokes.
thsi guy nate phelps is really cool
If I were Nate I'd change my name. I'd be ashamed to carry the Phelps name.
Ha! That's pretty funny. I would love to see that picture, even if its photoshopped.
I wish more would listen to Nate. No hate will stop them. We have to do loving things in their presence to unbrainwash members. All members who left have left because they want a life full of love. We need to temp them with it. We need hugathons and inflatable slides and perky music. If they celebrate someone's death, we must celebrate life. As long as they protest, they should hear the opposite message with open arms from us. They need to hear we will welcome them if they choose love over hate.
Liz Taylor was a great humanist.
You don't really know that. Provide proof.
Where in the bible is AIDS mentioned? No where. Read your bible.
Scientific evidence proves otherwise. So you still haven't provided proof.
That family cannot be described as anything but purely simply...Evil
Calling Phelps a sadist is an insult to sadists.
@mickey3348 As much as I would love to see this happen, sadly with people as far gone as the WBC, it just wouldn't happen. They see no one oppressing them, and step up their game even trying to get control of what ever power they could. If no one continued to fight against them or just ignore them... scarey thought.
I feel so sorry for Nate poor guy :(
@AlexPreachesTruth I don't have any duty to anyone unless you can prove the existence of your God.
The only way to hurt WBBC and shut them up... is a total media blackout of all protest... that includes removing all video from youtube and the rest of the internet. As long as they have a forum, or outlet for their hate they will continue.
I wasn't referring to Nate. Iwas talking about nates " father". I am happy for Nate.
People should counter picket the wbc with signs "I am so thankful to God that he made these guys the minority"
Thank you Nate for all you do for equal rights. So glad you were able to make it thru life with such a beautiful spirit. God Bless you.
@cj0e you thank god? Are you thanking god that he was abused when he was younger too? Crazy logic
they should also protest outside 1 of there funerals and see how they would like it......
The so-called media empowers these people. They media should focus its power on covering their funeral protests so that those that stand against them are empowered. What happens instead? These individuals are invited onto CNN, MSNBC etc., which provides them with a platform to attract like minded individuals. They know exactly what they're doing.

@ItBrandonSilver What does that mean?
seriously i sometimes think the WBC are just trolling...how do you rationalize this kind of idiocy??
Nate Phelps is an amazing man
Exactly my theory!
@MsGeekomatic How funny is that....They are exactly the very thing they detest against, when it comes to the stereotypical view of a Jew. (Nothing against Jews)"That's thier words,not mine".. O_o"
I am not a fan of Fred Phelps either but it was very insensitive of Joy Behar to ask her son if his father was a closeted gay himself...Not that that there is anything wrong with being gay.Good for you Nate Phelps for speaking against his family...but please be more sensitive when speaking to any family member.
I find it funny I found this video 2 days after he died.....
Hes in hell now...every day Satan shoves a pineapple up his ass.
That was a little bit harsh when she said hopefully he'll die soon, but then again I really agree with her when she says that. Fred Phelps is nothing but a hateful, evil, spiteful person.
Fred Phelps finally died on March 19, 2014, but there was no funeral for him because Westboro Baptist Church doesn't "worship the dead."
That is a beautiful speech.
If I were Nate, I'd change my name. I'd be embarrassed to be associated with the (literal) WBC family.
He has it exactly right - this is exactly what the father wants. He is a sick person who craves attention and he gets it - either from the quiet obedience and fear his children have, or in the tears of everyone who is affected by his intolerant words.
I love Elizabeth Taylor. Not just for her suberb acting abilities but even with her stunning beauty she was a phenomenal, noble human being who dedicated the later part of her life for a very good cause and to make people aware.
jesus loves all
Why we give the WBC attention is beyond me. They draw revenue from this. Let's just forget about them.
Why can't we ignore the wbc
It depends on how you read it. Christians are only supposed to follow the moral ordinances of the New testament and use the old testament as a comparison.
Also..there's a lot of metaphorical language that people use literally when it really shouldn't be.

@AlexPreachesTruth The burden of proof falls on you, since you're the one claiming its existence.
Notice that Nate is broadcasting from Canada.
He is an atheist, but it is a nice sentiment none the less.
@HBKanedge818
the Bible would disagree
The first thing that comes to mind is to picket freds funeral but that is what they want the best way to get at them is very hard to do but it is to ignore them.

the hate of certain people can be the biggest compliment
i flagged the westboro churches videos for promoting terrorism.
what are the child's protection offices waiting for?, they put the children at risks on the streets with them don't they?
@littlebit19801 It actually is proven that there is a link between homophobia and homosexual suppression. It certainly doesn't mean that every homophobe is a closet-case, but it's not a baseless assumption.
Nate Phelps was awesome. but the woman is just plain disrespectful and obnoxious
This is what happens when you take a literal view of the bible.
It's not Malakai it's Malakos literally meaning "soft ones." I do not believe this is referring to homosexuals either. Most every verse concern male/male contact is referring to it in the aspect of Idolatry (Temple priests consecrated to a false god), Pederasty (Men on boy prostitution).

When shirley or fred phelps dies, everyone should go to their funeral carrying signs that just say "LOL".
@dafttool I don't think she can, though. Considering the women have to cover their hair in their church services, would they let a woman be their pastor? I think they'd want another man once Fred has gone.
However, they're losing lots of members (Shirley claims this is a good thing) so I can't see them going on forever.

when Fred Phelps dies we should all protest his funeral..

"how old is he maybe he'll die soon" lol "not lookin good lately, we can only hope" "nobody will care when he is dead" XD XD XD XD XD hahahaha
@coffey3c ....yes lmfao
Lisa, the word is 'inbred' and from the sounds of your own opinions, others might quickly place you into that category.
In fact the more you study you find out a Prophecy was given to these Eunuchs in the end days. Look up The Bed keeper here on TH-cam. He discusses it in detail and wrote a book on the subject. These Westboro folk really are illiterate about their bible.
