Nate Phelps, an estranged son of Fred Phelps, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Sunday night that members of Westboro voted Phelps out of the church last summer, apparently "after some kind of falling out."

Nate Phelps, who broke away from the church 37 years ago, said church members became concerned afterward that his father might harm himself and moved him out of the church, where he and his wife had lived for years. Fred Phelps was moved into a house, stopped eating and since has been moved into hospice care, Nate Phelps said.

I know you shouldn't wish for the death of a fellow human being, but Freddy reneged on his membership dues a long time ago.

Come on, show a little pity, the poor guy was thrown out of his church, who knows why, and they don't let his estranged children visit him.

[Mister Agenda]

I'd much rather he come to his senses. I can't take any joy in his misfortune.

So they became concerned for his well-being and responded by... throwing him out of the church. Then again, they're known for their lack of empathy, so I suppose it was to be expected.

If he's in hospice he is far beyond "poor health." He's dying.

Don't worry about him, I'm sure god is feeding him "manna" from heaven. Since he's SOOo righteous I'm also sure he's live well into his 800's like so many of the great old time prophets... He just has to be careful of those sudden "whirlwinds" that'll whisk him off to heaven.

Stimbo beat you to it.

I almost wish there were a Hell, so Fred could spend the eternity he condemned others to Hell there. But looking at the bright side, as soon as he jumps in the box, I'm sure the WBC will pretty much shrivel up and fade away, unless Shirley keeps all the hate protests going. I hadn't heard that he was kicked out, though, so they may keep going under her leadership. She's just as crazy as her old man is. But I'm guessing that in another decade the WBC, if still around, will be but a shell of its former self.

Freddie's dead!

Fred Phelps isn't worth the energy to get excited about his death.

Heard gossip that the WBC is denuding that protestors don't picket his funeral.




irony WBC has it
