Nate Phelps talks the family, Westboro Baptist Church and his father, Fred Phelps

[gwendes]

A deeply moving and powerful first hand account from the son of the infamous Fred Phelps. The family earned themselves the title of the 'Most Hated Family in America' for controversial and incredibly offensive comments in addition to regularly picketing of funerals of soldiers and others.

 

Highly recommend - Nate was completely inspirational.

 

Filmed at #QEDCon 2014 in Manchester on 13th April. Apologies, there are about 2 minutes of footage missing due to a full SD card and then a dead battery. Obviously God just wanted to tick me off a little bit

Hi folks. Hope you enjoyed the long weekend.

 

I've added subtitles (closed captions) so this is now accessible to deaf/hearing impaired, those without speakers or if you just can't understand an American accent (half-joking)

 

Nate's given his blessing (sorry) for this to be shared so feel free to pass on to anyone/group you think might find this story interesting.
