That's... for real? I thought it was a spoof. O_O

Nah. They're taking the piss.

It's not a joke. These people do that. The press release came from the WBC website, I just didn't want to link to them. They made the same announcement about protesting Heather Ledger's funeral, but I don't know if they actually did it.

But these guys DO protest funerals of soldiers and such, a lot. They really believe what they say. It really is for real. I wish it wasn't.

Then it's beyond contemptable.

And I'm trying not to giggle at Ms Ledger... ;)

Woops. My bad. darned typos. LOL. But yeah, they do this all the time. One fellow just successfully sued them for a huge settlement for defamation.

I hope they get sued and sued and sued. I can think of nothing better than that they lose all their money for their behaviors. Just dealing with lawsuites, win or lose, takes money.

Yes, but several of the core family members are lawyers. They had a reputation for suing people for sport (and profit!) around Topeka (where the church is) long before the real craziness started.

Isn't it generally said that lawyers are just spawn of the devil?

Makes sense. They're crazies; they're lawyers.

They're like the Topeka branch of Wolfram & Hart. They did manage to disbar the patriarch, but several of his children still practice law.

And several of the grandchildren are studying it.

Yup -- It's the only way they survive.

There's a passage in the Bible about how it's wrong to sue people or something and lawyers are bad...I only remember it because I learned about it in Sunday school as a kid, and my parents are lawyers.

LOL! Well, I hardly think all lawyers are evil, but I guess you could make a case. *snerk*

I grew up terrified for my parents' souls. *LOL* Because supposedly they were the agents of evil or something.

Oh, man....one more thing to write down for therapy.

Louis Theroux did a BBC programme on them a couple of years ago called 'The Most Hated Family in America'. It was scary viewing. You can usually find it on On Demand services. It's worth a watch.

They are 100% real and 1,000,000% crazy.

I'd watch but I know I'd only get upset. That's their aim, I presume.

That is their aim, exactly, I think. I'm a bit miffed at myself for letting them get to me last week.
