I know all about the Phelps. I also saw this documentary on them by Louis Theroux 'The most hated family in America'(2007) wherein they allowed him to follow them around for a week and see how they operate. Quite similar to any other cult really. Peter Phelps acts all mysterious and hides away most of the time, everyone else in the family hang on his every word. Clearly alot of brainwashing from a very early age going on there.
One of the things that disgusted me the most was during one of their picketings, signs and all, on the side of the road, some guys in a car threw a bottle as Shirley's 4 year old son's head as he carried a sign stating that god hates gay soldiers or whatever.
Not only is he being mentally abused by his family, but his mother is also setting him up for physical abuse from the outside world. It's scary to think what that child is going to turn into.
