Unfollow - An experience of Westboro - BBC Radio 4
« on: June 29, 2021, 12:57:29 PM »
Each morning this week, the granddaughter of Fred Phelps tells the story of her disengagement from Westboro Baptist Church.

Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper is on BBC Radio 4 at 9.45 each morning.

Thank goodness that woman eventually realised how evil that ghastly organisation is. Her grandfather must have had a screw loose to create it. >:(

The sad thing is that Fred Phelps was once one of the goodies: as a trained lawyer, he volunteered his services to the civil rights movement in the 60s, but then went a bit bonkers and set up WBC.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.
