Hi Nicole –
We have planned to phase in changes to the fundamentals, as we keep growing in attacks and traffic, so when the rebels began to try and mess with our pages, we took them down.
In the days since we took them down, our God has given us a global mega phone, and that of course reaches billions of people, and our pages don’t do that on their best day. So we love that and we thank God for his mercy to us.
Also, it has caused me to reflect in a quiet moment about the fact that the day is coming when God is going to take the words COMPLETELY away from this nation! Their destruction is imminent! It is a curse upon the nation that they loathe the Bread of Life. So we run!
I’m happy to answer your questions. Answers contained below with the questions.
Also, I will tell you that you can follow me on @DearShirley on Twitter.
That said, I’m happy to share our parodies and videos, as they are fun and full of excellent doctrine and more!
Dear Shirley,
Hello, my name is Nicole Lipari and I am a student at Rider University. You may remember me, as I sent you an email about a month ago, requesting an interview, for my writing class, via email.
I know that recently, the church has been the target of an anonymous group who hacked your websites, so it is a shame that I am not able to link them for my resources. You mentioned to check the FAQs since they would probably answer many of my questions, but I am now unable to do so.
If you have any free time, I would be very appreciative if you were able to answer these few questions:
1. When and how was the Westboro Baptist Church founded?
November 27, 1955 – Eastside Baptist Church began the ministry and asked my dad to be the preacher.
2. Why do you think that mainstream Baptist associations reject your church as legitimate?
Because they lie on God and they cannot discredit our doctrine, because they have no Bible for their lies, so what else can they do?!
3. What is your perspective on those who are born outside of the church who want to become members of it?
My perspective is found best in this verse: Ro 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. ALSO, this verse: Ro 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Finally, I say with a loud voice and some leaping for joy! YAY!! Because per this passage, God will have mercy upon whom he will and whom he will, he hardens their hearts and add another line of scripture, he blinds eyes and stops up ears!
Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
All are as welcome as the flowers in springtime, but only those that were ordained to eternal life will believe. : Ac 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
4. Do you ever worry about the safety of the children who are involved in pickets and demonstrations?
Listen carefully, NO, NO, NO!! We serve God! The Almighty! His name is Man of War! I pity the fool that tries to hurt one of these little ones! You think God is going to send us to the mean streets of Doomed america and NOT keep us in line with his precious promises?! E.g. Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
1 Chronicles 16: 19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
There are so many promises that I cannot give them all here!
5. What would you do/how would you feel if one of your family members came out as being a homosexual?
What a special question! That question presumes that it is a crap shoot! IT IS NOT! If you serve God, you don’t look up and have a fag for a son! More than that, if there is a fag or dyke among us, they will GET OUT! They will not be happy here nor content. You cannot live this life if you do not believe! You cannot fake it! We don’t own salvation, further, I will NOT give up my crown for any rebels. Life is TOO short; Hell is TOOO hot; Eternity is TOOOOOOOOOOO long!!
6. How do you feel about the term “brain washing”, and do you think it is fair that you are accused of it?
Time is running out for this nation. The LAST thing on this earth I give any thought to is what new or different or additional names the rebels will attach to this little Flock of Slaughter! We go out faithfully EVERY DAY onto the mean streets, and have done that EVERY DAY for 20 years and 45,300 +++++ pickets. Our testimony is almost finished! WOE unto you for all those words that have been multiplied and hard speeches against us as a pitiful substitute for OBEY YOUR GOD! God will require it.
7. Being a lawyer yourself, how do you feel about the recent win at the Supreme Court over your freedom of speech?
God gave this nation the First Amendment and he required the rebels on the Supreme Court to OBEY THE LAW! Praise ye the Lord all creation! He found america in a pool of her own blood back in the day. She was dead where she lay, with no help in sight! God swaddled her and comforted her and clothed her with BEAUTIFUL garments, the crowning jewel of which is that First Amendment. HE KNEW that just down the timeline, was going to come the time of the restitution of all things! He knew that his people were going to have to have BABYLON to stand in and preach to the whole world! But she has forgotten her love and like a whorish wife, she has spread her legs to every filthy nation that has a false religious system and taken all those foul lovers and forgotten her God! Now, her destruction is imminent! Yet, in the midst of it all, he keeps his people PERFECTLY! He gives of the oil of gladness and he gives us tokens of his love and lets us know that he is yet pleased to dwell with us! We are so very, very thankful to our God! We are NOTHING and less, but God has called us out of gross darkness and into HIS marvelous light and given us this ministry and promises, and so we RUN! What else is reasonable for us to do at this hour! Once all the humans are dead in Doomed america, we can’t warn ANY of you!
8. Hypothetically speaking, if something horrific were to happen to one of the church’s members, would you immediately connect it to God’s wrath?
FIRST, that has not happened! Second, we would consider the circumstances of THAT PERSON, and we would know the answer. I don’t know what you mean by horrific, but we don’t engage in idle speculation.
9. Do you believe that God’s wrath is always just?
Well of course! I have trouble believing or understanding how any stupid human could believe otherwise! Who is it that thinks they can outthink God?! Who would dare?!
10. Do you care about how the outside world views you, your family, and the church?
NO!! God is faithful and true and his program does not change, he is the unchanging God, and he did a thing for us, and this is what it looks like:
Ezekiel 3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of [america], and speak with my words unto them.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of [america];
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
7 But the house of [america] will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of [america] are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
I find that to be so very true! I could not care less what you think or what you say, unless you have evidence that you bring forth that looks like repentance, then, you have my full attention, unless and until you demonstrate that you are a pretender, then, you must go!
11. Anything else that you, personally, would like to add.
Time is RUNNING OUT! The destruction is imminent! If you have any interest in your never-dying soul, GET BUSY, decide where God meets with his people in this earth and GET THERE! Otherwise, go down with this ship!
I really, truly appreciate your cooperation and if you have any questions for me, I’d be happy to answer them.
