True, but the majority of them belong to international neo nazi organisations, use German in their publications and have no regard for Polish culture and history.

It's a shame they exist at all. They manage to fly under the radar if they aren't too explicit, but that means they can't say what they would like, at least.

I also find it to be poor taste. They are a hate group like others have said. I love how hate groups class themselves as "Christian" and some even have a "Church". Look at the Aryan Nation. They claim to be a "Good Christian Group". Up where I live there use to be a Compound in Hayden,Idaho (not far from here). There are still gatherings in various places up here. They also have parades and marches. You rarely hear them on the news but some publications do post it... Like in Coeur d'alene,Idaho.

To me its the same thing. WBB and Aryan Nation. Just WBB is much more vocal about it and go around the nation regularly. There was also a gathering in Washington D.C. a few years back with the Aryan Nation and people counter protested and it was discusting to me, to see how the counter protesters were drove away by the Police. Of course they were still there and able to protest (counter protest) and it resulted in many arrests.

As far as the funeral of WBB leader... Didn't someone vocalize that they would never "stoop to there level". Honestly I wish they would have because it would show how much it hurts to do that to someone.

It's a complicated matter to myself how free-speech and harrassment can somehow be classed under the same umbrella. (If that makes any sense).

If after I die it turns out there is a heaven - and I manage to blag my way in - the only time I'll "look down" will be to check if my penis still works up there...
I mean - if looking down at the poor sods still stuck on Earth is the best entertainment Heaven has to offer, then it's hardly even worth the hassle.

Another would be getting a smack in the mouth for disrupting a private family funeral. That they whine and crawl behind their free speech rights while denying them to others is the most disgusting thing about the Phelps larvae. Clearly they don't hate everything about their country.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It is deeply offensive but I'd hate to live somewhere where being offensive was a crime.

And of course there are ways to mess with them using your own freedom of speech...

The only thing I know about this baptist group is what you guys show.
Seems to me it is a cult.
They (and especially the leadership) are in deep do do.

Rebellion is as witchcraft and that is what has a hold of these people.

They will be dumped into the Tribulation dead ahead, being without excuse-
fully knowing what is required, yet ignoring what God said.

You guys have more excuse than them (having a make-believe god in your mind that you rebel against).
God's great lament has always been that His people act worse than the heathen around them.
I pray for these clowns.
God does not want them (including you) to have to go thru what is coming.
