Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church, whom a Tennessee newspaper called "a vile cult of losers," is coming to torment the friends and family of Army Specialist Timothy D. Watkins in Yucca Valley CA on November 1. Watkins was killed in Iraq by an IED two weeks ago.
Blogger "Some Soldier's Mom" is the mother of one of the soldiers who served with Specialist Watkins.
From the San Bernadino Sun:
The young man had been passionate about his beliefs since childhood, his father said. He was converted to Christianity at age 5. He carried that through his entire life.
Tim Watkins was heavily involved in the church, taking part in school theatrical productions and working with children at Ironwood Christian Camp in Newberry Springs.
He was part of the ministry of Pacific Baptist College in Pomona and sang with a worship group.
Meanwhile, those jackals from the Westboro Baptist Church feel the need to picket Timothy Watkins funeral, because of American tolerance of homosexuality.
Westboro Baptist Church, incidentally, is not affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (they've repeatedly denounced him) or any other major Baptist organization.
Members of his church mostly consist of his family and in-laws.
