Don’t feel bad for them. They are as bad as he is. They have physically attacked several people, including the pastor of the church I was once a member of. They raise _their_ kids(Fred’s grand and great-granchildren) to be ugly. Have you ever had a ten year old ask you if you shave gerbils and stuff them up your rectum to get sexually excited? I did. Have you ever heard an old lady screamed at, and told her red skirt is hiding the blood pouring out of her rectum? I have. Did you know they once let one of their kids pee onto the grass of a local church? I do. They won’t be lost. They will just split up into rival groups, arguing over who should be in charge of Fred’s legacy. My money is on Margie, his second daughter. Although she is female, I think she has more brains than the others. If they do go for a man, it will be Charles Hockenbarger, one of Fred’s sons-in-law. ---

Umm, when I review that last paragraph, I realize I didn’t make it clear that Margie’s gender makes a difference to the _Phelp’s_, as they don’t give equal status to women in their church, and do not believe in leadership roles for women. But despite this, she is often their spokesperson. My original statement made it sound as if _I_ don’t give women equal credibility. :smack: ---

But see, that’s why I feel bad for them-those little kids are doomed to hatred like that. Considering the physical abuse he put them through for so many years, what else is gonna happen? Yeah, it’s sick, but it’s also sad. Think about it-he’s TEN. Tell me that isn’t sad. ---

I agree, Guin. It is hard for me not to feel sympathy for kids raised in such a dysfunctional and abusive environment. ---

I’m honestly surprised the State of Kansas has not moved in and charged the Phelps family with abuse, what with the kids’ upbringing and all. Robin ---
