An interview with Westboro Baptist Church

We have no business surrendering the "baptist' name to idiots like this. We need to publically denounce these nut jobs rather than surrender to them.

 

note carefully the use of the term "brutes" - anyone care to expose the meaning behind that?

 

Uh...how about starting a website and a petition and we all in BB who want to can go ahead and sign it and then maybe send it to a newspaper or tv station or something (they're always out there looking for someting sensational or sicksational) ?
You have my signature, in first five.

 

So is this what happens when you become a hyper-Calvinist? :laugh:

In all seriousness these people are extremely misguided. They need our prayers just as much as they need our rebuking of their teachings.

 

Not only are they hyper-Calvinists, they also claim they're Primitive Baptists !!
Yikes !!

 

I think they may be a bit more than crazy. When I considered their answers I think we may be dealing with people who are demon possessed. Just read their replies. Often their replies have little to do with the question and go off on very unBiblical rants. Like the devil himself, they twist Scripture and pervert the grace of God. Btw, since I believe them to be crazy and demon possessed I do consider them dangerous. Nobody should try to contact or confront them. They should be left alone and not given the attention they clearly crave.

 

I have not read anywhere that they claim to be Christians have you? In the interview they did not address any of those questions except to be around the bush.

 

In the church I attend is a woman whose husband was killed in Afghanistan and she was afraid those used by Satan would show up. So people in the church were ready just in case they did. Much of the town along with military personnel and police showed up and I do not think Satans messengers would have had a chance.

 

May have something to do with 2 Peter 2:12 and Jude 10 (in the good 'ole KJV). Maybe she thinks these verses refer to anyone who disagrees with her.

 

oh, yes, they claim to be Christians. And in one interview, in print and on tv, they claimed to be Primitive Baptists. I think (but I might be wrong here) they even posted that in their website.

 

Then the Primitve Baptists need to do something about that.

 

need to do something about it ?
why do we need to do something about it.

Like what ?
And what good will come out of it ?
Primitive Baptists are not as large as your group, if you're SBC, and they only mentioned it once.
My people are mostly found in the Southeast, and they worship in nondescript churches unlike most denominations.
After worship we disperse and go about our usual businesses.
In other words, we are "in the background", so much in the background that some on this board used to wonder what a Primitive Baptist is.
And if somebody in the sicksationalist media takes that pronouncement seriously and asks the Westboro people, they'll probably say they're Primitive Baptists because they hold to the fundamentals of the Scripture and are therefore "Old Fashioned" or Primitive.

 

If I were a Primitve Baptist I would not want the name associated with them in any way.

 

If I were primitive baptist I wouldn't like it either, I don't even like sharing the 'baptist' name with them. But can you really do to make them not call themselves baptist or primitive baptist. not much.
Don't kow if anyone else saw it or not, but I saw a google ad on the top of this forum for westboro 'baptist' today.

 

I saw the ad too.

I was thinking that the Primitive Baptists could distance themselves form them by making a public declaration that Westboro is not affiliated with them in any way.

 

Now that I think I would want to do.
