I haven't seen the Michael Moore one. What's it called?
The Phelps' situation is an odd one, because the majority of the church are members of the one family. So unless there's 2-3 outsiders brought into the church every generation, I don't see them lasting very long anyway.
Their hate mongering has also been spread by the media - these documentaries and all the news reports (there's this one interview where Shirley blows up at a Fox news reporter, they both lose their shit, funny stuff) serve to give Fred Phelps a much louder voice on these issues than he obviously deserves.
