    This is such a neat idea!

    Thats alot of good that came out of alot of bad :slight_smile: Ten grand can do alot of things for this pro-LGBT Synagogue.

    I wonder how many other churchs and synagogues follow this method the next time the WBC shows up at there local area? It could make for some good fundraising :slight_smile:

    That's actually a pretty smart idea. I would donate to them.
    They don't even know they are hurting their own cause. Idiots. :lol:

    The WBC tried to protest the performance of Rent at a high school near my college once. The six of them were faced by like 1,000 pro-LGBT protesters holding various signs, one of which said, "God loves everyone: even the WBC."

    I've heard of some Planned Parenthood clinics doing this, as well. Great news nevertheless. :slight_smile:

    This only feeds into the Jewish stereotype in a very positive manner.

    I think for every five WBC protesters, there should be 5 slugs in the shotgun :slight_smile:

    Novel Idea nonetheless.

    Here is the thing I don't understand. Most small churches just barley collect enough to keep the doors open. The WBC travels all over the country protesting stuff. Traveling costs a lot of money. These folks are protesting and thus not working. So how exactly do they raise money?

    That's so awesome. Wonder how Phelps would react if he knew he was actually helping the cause? :lol:
