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

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


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.

Only a nutcase would go to an island the day it's scheduled for annihilation by God.

[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?

Limits on freedom of expression in Canada include  Criminal Code and Human Rights provisions regarding hate speech, harassment, and discrimination; civil defamation actions; a variety of municipal by-laws; and both government and private restrictions on online access and content .

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 ??

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.

If they are true believers and follow the tenants of their faith, this prophet must be taken out a stoned to death.

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.
