This announcement was taken from the "picket schedule" of the Westboro website:
Buchanan & Cody
Funeral Home in Jacksonville, IL
September 5, 2011 10:15 AM -
11:00 AM
WBC
is going to picket the funeral of Sgt. Andrew R. Tobin to remind this nation
that God said "And I myself
will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in
anger, and in fury, and in great wrath." (Jer. 21:5.) God is this nation's enemy because Doomed americans have mocked His
law through the promotion of fag & dyke marriage, mistreatment of His
servants from WBC and various other proud sins.
"Except the Lord build the
house, They labor in vain that build it; Except the Lord keep the city, The
watchman waketh but in vain." (Psa. 127:1.)
The
Lord no longer builds the American house; nor does the Lord watch over and
protect America. These soldiers are dying for the homosexual and other sins of
America. God is now America's enemy, and God Himself is fighting against
America.
Elizabeth Phelps is the eighth of the 12 children of Fred Phelps and his fifth eldest daughter. She was born in 1962 and has not been married. (Her son Daniel was born in 2001.) She is a lawyer but no longer practices. Elizabeth was the oldest one present. This photo was taken at 10:10 the morning of Andrew's funeral.
Timothy Phelps is the fourth youngest child of Fred and the youngest son. One year younger than Elizabeth, he is married to Leanne and they have ten children. He is a lawyer and works the Shawnee County Department of Corrections. This photo was taken at 10:10 the morning of Andrew's funeral.
They also brought seven grandchildren of Fred Phelps to the corner of Morton and Lincoln.
Dozens of people from the Jacksonville community, many with their own signs, faced the Westboro nine. Exhibiting good discipline, hundreds of PGRiders waited on the funeral home property. Only Mick Mills and I traveled the 400 feet to the interection. I walked. Mick took his (loud) bike.
