Westboro Baptist Church claims Hawaii will be 'utterly destroyed' Sunday

Aug. 6 (UPI) -- The controversial Westboro Baptist Church , based in Kansas, claimed that Hawaii will be "utterly destroyed" on Sunday.
"The churches of Hawaii have doomed the inhabitants with lies about the eternal God," Westboro Baptist Church said in a statement announcing a protest at three churches in Hawaii. "The watchers must (and will) publicly pronounce the warning on Sunday."
The Westboro Baptist Church said its members will picket outside of Grace Bible Church and King's Cathedral in Kahului as well as Wailuku Union Church in Wailuku.
It was not immediately clear why the church would travel from Topeka to Maui to protest the three congregations or how the church believes Hawaii will be destroyed. UPI has reached out to the churches for comment.
Westboro has become well-known for its controversial protests. In 2012, the church said its members planned to picket Sandy Hook Elementary School where 28 people, including 20 children, were shot dead just days previously.
"Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment," member Shirley Phelps-Roper said in 2012 before her Twitter account was hacked by Anonymous' Cosmo the God.
The hacker collective then posted private details about members of the church, which is best known for its long vitriol for LGBTQ+ issues.

Ah Westboro, the Church of God Hates Fags. I believe the fellow with the pink sign is the Big Guy in the sky.
Sadly these nut cases are still around.
Lol I thought these guys had disappeared years ago. Guess not, however they are still irrelevant
Only a nutcase would go to an island the day it's scheduled for annihilation by God.
They don't sound very smart, do they?
They really worship an evil god don't they?
Aloha nui loa. E pili mau na pomaika`i ia `oe.
Latou te mana'omia uma le alofa latou te maua
That's for sure.
[deleted] Oh, sorry Americans - after all, FREE SPEECH governs no matter HOW harmful it can be. I forgot how easy it is to be misled there.
The right to freedom of speech means nothing if the only speech that is allowed is speech that is liked.
I said nothing about it being "liked", my comment was about speech that causes others HARM. If you want examples of that here are the limitations on freedom of speech/expression in Canada. Are there NO limitations in the USA or can you cause riots and attacks on people with your speech and get away with it?
Who gets to decide what is or is not harmful?
Fortunately, not you.
I’m onto these guys. This is a Hawaiian vacation being claimed as a business expense. The business of hate.
We should pick up and move their church to South Texas while they're gone.
Let's go one step further and sneak it across the border
they were hoping to create a panic and cash in on some desperation sales of real estate...
Allowing for time differences, I am not sure if the destruction of Hawaii took place yesterday, or is scheduled for next Sunday ( here it is Monday pm ).
I wonder, if this prophesy fails to eventuate, will the WBC pack up and go home ??
Evening Way..meant to have happened y'day but far as I know no one carked it..nor is the island cactus..so all good..🐨
It's Monday morning here in Cali and Hawaii is 3 hours later so, since I haven't heard anything they must have been so thoroughly smited (smitten?... smote?..) that they couldn't even get word out before their demise. Still, the tsunami should eventually let us know.
hawaiian web cams still seem to be working...
Hawaii is still there on Monday
What the hell does that mean???? Is she trying to say that those little 6 year olds deserved to die? God hated them that much????
They worship an evil god.
If they are true believers and follow the tenants of their faith, this prophet must be taken out a stoned to death.
Evening George... Or they could chuck him into a volcano??
In Hawaii? LOL
A sacrifice to the true elder gods? LOL!
The same hateful hypocritical losers that have shown up to protest at funeral services of American service members killed in action in the Middle East.
