Dr. Gray’s WBC blog at Quora

Listening to 3rd generation WBC’ers

For a few years, Dr. Gray wrote posts about Westboro Baptist Church on the Q&A website Quora. A few examples:

How does the Westboro Baptist Church think they’re doing good?

Does the Westboro Baptist Church have any redeeming qualities?

What is it like to meet Fred Phelps in real life?

What does it feel like to be part of the Westboro Baptist Church or know somebody who is part of the WBC?

Do Christian theologians think Fred Phelps will go to heaven or hell?

Will Fred Phelps’ funeral be picketed? Have the funerals of other members of WBC been picketed?

Why is the Westboro Baptist Church so hyper-focused on homosexuality as the crux of its doctrine, protesting, and picketing?

What are the third-generation Phelps family members like in person?

What do you think about Planting Peace’s choice to buy a house opposite Westboro Baptist Church?

Have you, or anyone you know, ever verbally engaged a member or members of the Westboro Baptist Church during a picketing of theirs?

How did the Westboro Baptist Church come to choose Kabel Ultra as the typeface for their protest signs?

Please let us know if you would like more information about one of these posts, if you notice any mistakes, or if you have your questions about WBC.
