Heh. I doubt they'll actually show but this could be something to see if they do:

OMG I hope you're there with your camera!

ETA: I wish they linked the fb page because I'd join.

I'm going to go take a look and bring the camera just in case but I doubt they'll actually show up.

Well at least it will tie them up for two weeks, getting there and back, from doing other protests...

What a bunch of tripe. I hope none of them show up, it would only serve to show their insignificance.

Apparently they are also going to protest at ChangePoint in Anchorage as well. This from their Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/changepointalaska

ChangePoint Family, We have had messages, phone calls, and emails from many of you regarding this mornings announcement that Westboro Baptist Church is planning on picketing our services on Sunday, June 1st.

We are saddened by the continual hurtful actions and vitriolic language from Westboro Baptist Church. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to bring life, hope, peace and joy to humanit...
y. We will not be dismayed or shaken by the threats of protest and hate speech of Westboro Baptist. Like Jesus, we will pray for them, demonstrate the love of Christ to our city and state, and continue to love Alaska in Christ’s name.

Will you join us in praying that the love of Christ will take center stage in our city and state?

They're like messageboard trolls. Don't feed them. Although it can be hard not to, at times.

I'd rather spend my time and energy fighting destructive but mainstream happenings and thought patterns, rather than some goofballs from Kansas. The media attention makes WBC seem much larger and more influential than they actually are. It's literally a couple dozen people from a tiny church in Kansas. NO ONE takes their "message" seriously (including evangelical and fundamentalist Christian groups), so they can be safely ignored.

I'll bet those same folks have a statue of Jesus on a cross in their churches, that they pray to. It is no different than what they claim Natives are doing. Talk about hypocrites...this bunch is right up there at the top of the list.
