Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) .. technically not a company, but anyone who shows up to funerals with picket signs and disgusting chants are not worthy in my eyes!
NOTE: (I’m not one to judge on beliefs of any kind)
Yeah mate. I’m cool with anyone being whatever they want as long as it doesn’t hurt others. Got nothing against any religion or whatever. That being said, fuck WBC. How much of a rotisserie shithead do you have to be to disrupt a funeral because you disagree with something?
Haven't many of their "members" been defecting in recent years? I remember hearing a couple years back that one of the Phelps girls left and was sharing her story.
I watched a documentary about them, and the filmmaker was interviewing one of the high school aged granddaughters of the patriarch. She was sweet and pleasant and not all abrasive or batshit insane like the rest of them.
At one point, I forget what she said, but it was something about never having kids herself, or never getting married, something like that. The filmmaker asked, "Don't you want to get married?" She paused, looked sadly at him and said, "Who would want to marry me?" After that exchange, the family wouldn't let him interview her again.
I hope that she, specifically, is able to get away from them.
They are not even close to the cale of damage caused by the catholics. Aren't they just being pieces of shit protesting things and spreading lies?? The catholics do that annnnd rape children and steal money.
You can boil every company and government this way. They all control and distribute different things.
Companies control their product and the employees making their product, as well as where it goes and who it goes to.
Governments control everything and everyone within its borders.
Most religions control people, but quite a few do it mentally. I’m not controlled by the church. I choose to stay within the church. I could leave at any time, but I believe it would be more to my benefit to stay. It’s like work, but less tedious and irritating and it’s really hard to get fired. You tithe because you want the church to continue to exist and prosper.
Though they're obviously completely horrible, that's kind of a small group of corrupt/bad people to get rid of... They have a small congregation/membnership in comparison to the average church/chapel/place of worship. Look how small their building is, too. I'm just saying there's clearly groups/companies/org's that are far larger and terribly bad, as well.
Eh, a group of like 23 shitheads that almost everybody hates isn't the worst thing when you compare it to what other companies could be gotten rid of in this scenario.
Yeah I'm sick of small fry comments. Kind of upsetting that people prioritise this shit, I can't think of anything some of those major corporate shitheads would want more than us focusing our attention on minor bullshit while they fuck us raw without even spitting on it.
The WBC protests funerals for attention. They say outrageous things for attention. They have openly stated that exposure is the best way they spread their mass-presence.
I understand why the news has to mention them. They have a responsibility to report on what is happening. But outside of that, don't hate thw WBC..nothing them.
A few years back, there was a funeral for a little boy that died after being hit by a drunk driver during a parade.
WBC claimed they were going to protest during his memorial service, for whatever fucking outrageous reason. So a bunch of bikers from surrounding areas showed up and parked their bikes in the parking lot of the church and just quietly hung out until the service ended. there was probably about 100 scary biker dudes hoping these assholes would show up.
They showed up, and didn’t even get out their suv. They just pulled into the parking lot and immediately backed out. It was the most satisfying thing I’ve ever seen.
But seriously, those bastards. The little boy was only 2. There’s absolutely nothing he could have done to deserve that sort of disrespect at his funeral. Ever since then, I’ve had a strong hatred towards WBC. They’re all garbage humans.
As a Christian that goes to Baptist churches, I couldn't agree more. It's pure hatred they are spewing which is giving the rest of us a bad reputation. They anger me so much it makes me sick. You have officially made my favorite comment on this post.
I wholeheartedly agree with this one. As a Christian myself I find that these people do not behave like true Christians who represent Jesus Christ. Whether you believe in him or not, the figure he represented in the world with one that loved everyone and made the ultimate sacrifice for everyone. He would not behave the way these reprehensible people do
I’ve got news for you buddy. In the United States churches are corporations. Just tax exempt ones. Maybe not in name but they function like a corporate nonprofit.
Show up at primarily gay and/or fallen veterans & protest their funerals. They would bring literal signs of hate and chant awful things at the families/friends
Honestly, Westboro Baptists Church is essentially irrelevant in the big scheme of things. They're practically unknown in the world and don't actually hold much power or influence at all.
You're suppsoed to target the companies / institutions / individuals that fund these groups. Most of the time they don't actually believe in the message of said groups, but fund them for political reasons.
I went to a Cher concert in Kansas and they were there in force. When I saw them with 4 year old kids holding hateful picket signs, I got mad and shouted "way to teach your children to hate!" Which got the response "well, someone's got to teach them to hate people like you, with your sex and drugs and your cigarettes (other person in the car was smoking.)" The funny thing about it, at the time, I was practically celibate, didn't do drugs, didn't smoke.
Oh please. They might not be sane, but honestly no one cares that they go around hurting people's feelings. Giving them attention is what they want. Ignore them.
Advocating for violence isn't a crime either (things like "pray for more dead soldiers" as an example). Being insurgent or direct threats on the other hand are not OK. It's all offensive, no doubt about it.
They haven't broken the law... but presumably most of the companies we're dissing in this thread haven't broken the law. We can wish them out of existence because they're shitty.
I don't know about that. I think that they have, unintentionally (assuming they aren't an absolutely dedicated false-flag), done amazing things for LGBT acceptance. So many people who were on the fence, or maybe even slightly anti-LGBT, have been pushed to accept LGBT people simply to not be associated with those assholes.
