You better hope they will fight to bail you out of jail.

Fight can have many meanings...other then just the physical "fight".. but you knew that.

DrPhil 01-24-2012 11:42 PM

No, this is one of many instances where I can read your posts but not your mind.

As strange as this may sound, I think I would take it as a complement if the WBC crazies decided to picket my funeral.

Although I do agree that people deserve the right to mourn in peace.

I just wish the media would completely ignore them....

Why would the media ignore them when people still get angry with them to the point of wanting to physically, verbally, or legally fight them?

Nittanygirl, does the "Willard Preacher" still hang out in front of Willard and tell girls they are whores for wearing skirts? If so, take that as a lesson. I could always tell who the freshmen and transfer students were because they would be the ones trying to have philosophical arguments with the guy when the rest of the campus knew to just ignore him. Do the same with the WBC. They keep doing what they do because they get the attention they want. Look at them the way the "Willard Preacher" is viewed by students on campus. They aren't a church. They are a terrorist group (in my eyes). Ignore them. Just honor JoePa the best way you know how. I will be mourning with you. Stay strong my fellow Nittany Lion.

WE ARE...

Westboro Baptist "Church" isn't really a church, it's a family law firm, and what they "pray" for is that someone will assault them or violate their rights so that they can sue the hell out of them.

They are about as much of a church as my book club is.


(And isn't there a billy goat somewhere expecting Dr. Phil under the neighborhood bridge?)

As long as this made sense to you.

LOL. It would pale in comparison to the troll-like activity LionTamer just displayed.

I went back and read your posts. I guess she was disagreeing with your "you shouldn't fight the protesters" stance.

This reminds me of the "if it was MEEEE, I woulda whooped that ass!" tirades that folks go on after notorious events.

1. No, you wouldn't

2. That's exactly what they want you to do

Come on, now :rolleyes:

Wouldn't my stance match with LionTamer's post about them only being a law firm that wants people to get outraged to the point of physically fighting them? LOL. The media will keep covering this church as long as people still get outraged over them.

Just wanted to update that they weren't there at the memorial service. Apparently they'd been there around the time of the viewing/funeral, but from what I can tell people ignored them. Good move, IMO.
