About this item
-Now a New York Times bestseller- Youve likely heard of the Westboro Baptist Church. Perhaps youve seen their pickets on the news, the members holding signs with messages that are too offensive to copy here, protesting at events such as the funerals of soldiers, the 9-year old victim of the recent Tucson shooting, and Elizabeth Edwards, all in front of their grieving families. The WBC is fervently anti-gay, anti-Semitic, and anti- practically everything and everyone. And they arent going anywhere in March, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the WBCs right to picket funerals. Since no organized religion will claim affiliation with the WBC, its perhaps more accurate to think of them as a cult. Lauren Drain was thrust into that cult at the age of 15, and then spat back out again seven years later.
