Inside The World's Most Evil Sect

By EMMA COX


THEIR young children go on marches waving placards that read: “Thank God for 9/11”.

Members openly admit that the thought of an outsider being hit by a car or dying of cancer makes them laugh.

Their hatred is targeted at a massive range of people including gays, Jews, soldiers, the Irish, anyone who has sex outside marriage — and SWEDES.

But the most scary aspect of this cult is that, far from being an isolated community, its followers hold down normal jobs, mix with normal people and send their children to normal schools.

Welcome to the Westboro Baptist Church — the most evil religious sect in the world.

The group — established in the 1950s by ordained Right-wing Christian extremist Pastor Fred Phelps — are the subject of a new film by TV documentary-maker Louis Theroux.

Accompanied by a BBC film crew, he spent three weeks with the 71-strong cult — most of whom are related to Phelps — in Topeka, Kansas. His findings make shocking viewing.

In one scene, the fanatics picket funerals of US war heroes, claiming their deaths were punishment for America’s tolerance of gays. They stand yards from the grieving family of Kevin Zeigler, 31, who died trying to disable a bomb in Iraq.

Their placards, some carried by children as young as six, read: “Thank God For Dead Soldiers”, “Don’t Worship The Dead” and “Fag Marines”, accompanied by a crude drawing.

One poster even depicts Princess Diana — who had many famous gay friends — with the words “Royal In Hell Whore”.

Particularly shocking is the way the cult involve youngsters.

At one point a pretty seven-year-old called Shirley, wearing a pink hat with the slogan “Girls Are Cool”, is asked if she knows the meaning of her placard. She answers: “No”.

Six-year-old pal Noah is asked what you are if you are not a “fag”. His response: “A dyke?”

Later, a child no older than eight sobs as a passing motorist incensed by the placards lobs a bottle at him, cutting his head.

Yet the group’s leaders defend their sickening tactics.

Pastor Phelps’s daughter Shirley, who has 11 children, says: “The world hates us. So? It’s very sad at these funerals, it’s true. It’s very sad that these people won’t get the message.

“You are not going to make me feel bad about it. If they’re offended, that is a clear indication they hate God’s word and are headed for hell.”

The cult’s marches have enraged America and been condemned on chat shows including Oprah Winfrey’s.

They have been branded a “hate group” by renowned civil rights group the Southern Poverty Law Center, which compares them to the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis. Yet the family revel in their notoriety. Shirley says: “When we picket a funeral, I do it to help him (the victim).

“He was fighting for a nation that has made God their enemy.”

She also boasts of sending letters to grieving families. “They say, ‘You angered God’.”

In Louis’s programme — America’s Most Hated Family — he attends a sermon where Pastor Phelps says of the war in Iraq: “God duped you into starting a war so he could punish you. And you fell for it. They’re eating their babies! You will eat your babies!”

The cult’s children sing songs with lyrics such as: “I’m ashamed to be an American where fags are free to roam.”

Their definition of a fag is not only homosexuals but anybody who has sex outside marriage.

They hate Swedes because the pastor was once jailed in Sweden for preaching against homosexuality. And Louis is told he deserves to be KILLED for having a child out of wedlock.

The cult’s children have been brainwashed into total obedience.

Despite going to a normal school, they will never have boyfriends or girlfriends due to their extreme beliefs. One girl says: “We don’t have anyone we consider a true friend because that takes time away from God.”

Yet Louis does get friendly with the family, even going bowling with them. He admits: “They’ve made a life that in many ways is appealing. It was easy to become desensitised to what they were doing.” His point was chillingly proved by another documentary maker — Steve Drain — who joined the cult after making a film about them, despite having held liberal views.

Asked if he is glad when “sinners” get cancer or are in car accidents, he replies: “I love it — it means God is doing his job.”

Fellow member Jael, 21, explains why she laughs when she says Louis is going to hell — “It brings me pleasure to think God will carry out his wrath.”

Louis told The Sun last night: “The children are intelligent and kind for the most part. But what they’re doing is terrible. It doesn’t make sense. I was as challenged as I’ve ever been in this film.”

The Most Hated Family In America is on Sunday, 9pm, on BBC2.

Extraterrestrials Tremble at the Name of Jesus by Stephen Yulish PhD

Extraterrestrials Tremble at the Name of Jesus
by Stephen Yulish PhD

"There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and countered claimed by Satan"
C.S. Lewis

Several people have expressed to me their bewilderment over me writing articles for UFO Digest. While most of my articles do discuss UFOs, they rightly say that my articles overwhelming tend to end up discussing the Bible. That is a fair assessment because I sincerely believe that extraterrestrials are not aliens from another planet or galaxy, but are instead fallen angels here to undertake a diabolical plan that is more sinister than any alien invasion. Military historian Trevor James Constable once wrote 'that the battle with UFOs is not for the planet of man but for the soul of man'. These extraterrestrial fallen angels are setting us up for the coming great deception where those people left behind when the body of Christ is caught up to be with Him in the air during the harpazo (rapture), will believe that those who have suddenly vanished were abducted by UFOs. It fits in perfectly with our popular culture's ongoing fascination with books and movies about UFOs and extraterrestrial life, and our likewise disdain for anything smacking of self righteous, judgmental or religious insincerity. People will more readily believe that millions of suddenly missing persons have been abducted by UFOs than that they are in the clouds with Jesus, especially if the skies are filled with UFOs at the time. Many people also want to believe in an extraterrestrial savior who will come and save them from wars and plagues and global warming and mostly from themselves. Some have been told by these entities that Jesus was an extraterrestrial or a heavenly angel. That is the connection between Jesus and UFOs that is so critical to understand. The Bible says that if an angel from heaven (extraterrestrial) should preach to you a gospel contrary to that we have preached to you let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8). If these extraterrestrial, fallen angels try and tell you things that run contrary to the Bible, beware of them because they are false Christs (Matthew 24:24). This entire UFO phenomenon is about deception and misdirection and cover-up, but to a more sinister extent that most people realize including the government? The Roman Bishop and early Christian martyr, Ignatius, said that the devil bewitches his victims before he destroys them. I believe in UFOs and extraterrestrials. I do not believe that I am either delusional or hallucinating. I believe that the government is covering up these phenomena even though they are as deceived as to its origins as are most people. I write for UFO Digest, not only because of the generosity and good will of the Publisher, Dirk Vander Ploeg, but because I share with all of you a deep yearning to understand and explain this phenomenon. As I have written before, the Bible speaks about the interaction between extraterrestrials and earth women. The Sons of God saw the daughters of men were beautiful and took wives for themselves (Genesis 6:2). They begat children, the Nephilim, who were on the earth in those days and also afterward (Genesis 6:4). Modern day Bible scholars like W.F. Albright and F.J.Dake and John Walvoord and many others believe in the fallen angel concept. Jewish apocryphal writers of the Apocalypse of Baruch and The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs as well as early Jewish theologians like Philo of Alexandria and early Christian theologians like Justin Martyr, Iranaeus, Tertullian, Eusebius, Ambrose and the Anti Nicene Fathers also believed that these angels (the Sons of God) had fallen into impure love of virgins and were subjugated by the flesh and begat children. Don't let people tell you that early Jews and Christians believed these Sons of God in Genesis to be the sons of Seth and therefore human. Josephus, the Jewish historian of 2000 years ago, wrote in his Antiquities of the Jews about these fallen angels and women. In 1947 when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by an Arab boy at Qumran, there appeared the Genesis Apocryphon manuscript which was written in the 2nd century BC and spoke also about celestial beings from the skies that had come to earth and mated with human females. These hybrid children were called Nephilim in Genesis 6:4 which were mistranslated by King James to mean giants. The Hebrew word derives from the root naphal which means fallen. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Old Testament called them gegenes which means earthborn and is probably where the English word giants came from.

The Bible goes on to say that these angels who did not keep their domain but abandoned their proper abode (the heavenlies), God has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day because they went after strange flesh (human) and they are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire (Jude 6-7). God did not spare these angels when they sinned but cast them into hell and committed them to the pits of darkness (Tarturus) reserved for judgment (2Peter 2:4). That is why God brought the Flood to wipe out all vestiges of these hybrid Nephilim. Noah and his sons and their wives had preserved their pedigree and kept themselves pure in spite of the prevailing corruption brought about by the fallen angels (Oxford Companion Bible). In other words, Noah's bloodline had remained free of genetic contamination (Genesis 6:9). Noah and his family kept the human DNA pure and preserve the coming bloodline of Jesus, while the fallen angels who had perpetrated these blasphemies and attempted to corrupt the human bloodline of Jesus were kept in eternal bondage and chains in the pits of darkness. The Nephilim appeared again in Numbers 13:33 and that is why God told Joshua to kill all the Canaanites-men, women and children. He again wanted to keep the bloodline, the DNA, pure. Thus fallen angels must have continued for a time to breed with human females. While I do not know if there are any Nephilim present on the earth today, I believe that there are fallen angels roaming about to continue to deceive us humans. The non canonical Book of Enoch, while not a part of the Bible, is quoted verbatim in Jude 14-15 concerning the return of the Lord to execute judgment upon all. The Book of Enoch speaks of fallen angels as Watchers (as does Daniel 4:17) and says that the worst was Azazel. Azazel is the name of the fallen angel in both of my novels, The Great Harpazo Deception and Invasion: Israel. Later and most importantly, in the three days between His crucifixion and His physical resurrection from the dead, after Christ had died for sins once and for all, for the just and the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, Christ also went and made a proclamation to these spirits (fallen angels) now in prison who once were disobedient in the days of Noah. He proclaimed His triumph over them and over sin, death, hell, and Satan (1Peter 3:18-20). When He had disarmed the rulers (fallen angels), He made a public display of them having triumphed over them (Colossians 2:15). This is significant because Christ told His followers that just as it happened in the days of Noah, so shall it be also when the Son of Man is revealed (returns) (Luke 17:26, 30). Today in our world, we have goings on much like there was then including a great deal of sin and debauchery and possibly chasing after strange flesh by fallen angels (extraterrestrials). Look at all the immorality like pedophilia and child abductions as well as all of the UFO sightings, alien abductions and the cases of alien human hybrid experiments, and you will see a return to the days of Noah when the Sons of God (fallen angel extraterrestrials) mated with the daughters of men. You will know that the Lord is about to reappear very soon and take His own to be with Him in the clouds while all hell breaks loose here on earth. The sudden disappearance of millions will be explained as abduction by UFOs. We have been conditioned, programmed if you will, to believe such lies by the great Deceiver himself, Satan and his minions of fallen angels (extraterrestrials).

This is also important because demons (fallen angels) tremble at the name of Jesus (James 2:19). God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above all names (Philippians 2:9). At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of those on the earth (us) and those under the earth (fallen angels) and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10). Next time you are confronted by an extraterrestrial ("alien") who is trying to abduct you just call out the name of Jesus and it will leave. I did it when I was confronted by demons who wanted to harm me and it worked. The name of Jesus is a powerful name above all other names. In conclusion, all that I am trying to say is that this UFO phenomenon is real and is an important part of the end times fulfillment of Scripture. Do not be deceived by these cunning fallen angels who would love nothing more than to lead you smiling to the pits of hell with them. If what I am asserting is incorrect, then just throw my warnings onto the scrap heap of zealous, religious history-no harm no foul. But if what I am saying is correct, and I sincerely believe that it is, then what I have said is important not only in order to understand UFOs but is more importantly vital to possibly saving souls from the ravages of Satan and of hell. I do not say that with any malice or forethought or judgmental self righteous feelings. I do not want to proselytize or to judge, but I sincerely believe that the good Lord has given me access to UFO Digest and all its internet connections for a purpose. I am to be a watchman on the wall who is trying to tell each and every one of UFO Digest's readers that God loves you all and wants everyone to return to Him. He loves everyone so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die for everyone's sins and give everyone who believes eternal life (John 3:16). He wants everyone's eyes opened to the ultimate spirituality of this UFO phenomenon and for everyone to realize that Jesus is their Savior not some extraterrestrial, fallen angel, antichrist, demon. "We struggle not against flesh and blood (extraterrestrial aliens) but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (extraterrestrial fallen angels)" (Ephesians 6:12). Remember, that "Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things" (Romans 10:13-15).

Does Maya calendar predict 2012 apocalypse?

Does Maya calendar predict 2012 apocalypse?


By G. Jeffrey MacDonald, Special to USA TODAY

With humanity coming up fast on 2012, publishers are helping readers gear up and count down to this mysterious — some even call it apocalyptic — date that ancient Mayan societies were anticipating thousands of years ago.

Since November, at least three new books on 2012 have arrived in mainstream bookstores. A fourth is due this fall. Each arrives in the wake of the 2006 success of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, which has been selling thousands of copies a month since its release in May and counts more than 40,000 in print. The books also build on popular interest in the Maya, fueled in part by Mel Gibson's December 2006 film about Mayan civilization, Apocalpyto.

Authors disagree about what humankind should expect on Dec. 21, 2012, when the Maya's "Long Count" calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era.

Journalist Lawrence Joseph forecasts widespread catastrophe in Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization's End. Spiritual healer Andrew Smith predicts a restoration of a "true balance between Divine Feminine and Masculine" in The Revolution of 2012: Vol. 1, The Preparation. In 2012, Daniel Pinchbeck anticipates a "change in the nature of consciousness," assisted by indigenous insights and psychedelic drug use.

The buildup to 2012 echoes excitement and fear expressed on the eve of the new millennium, popularly known as Y2K, though on a smaller scale, says Lynn Garrett, senior religion editor at Publishers Weekly. She says publishers seem to be courting readers who believe humanity is creating its own ecological disasters and desperately needs ancient indigenous wisdom.

"The convergence I see here is the apocalyptic expectations, if you will, along with the fact that the environment is in the front of many people's minds these days," Garrett says. "Part of the appeal of these earth religions is that notion that we need to reconnect with the Earth in order to save ourselves."

But scholars are bristling at attempts to link the ancient Maya with trends in contemporary spirituality. Maya civilization, known for advanced writing, mathematics and astronomy, flourished for centuries in Mesoamerica, especially between A.D. 300 and 900. Its Long Count calendar, which was discontinued under Spanish colonization, tracks more than 5,000 years, then resets at year zero.

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time," Joseph writes.

But scholars doubt the ancient Maya extrapolated great meaning from anticipating the alignment — if they were even aware of what the configuration would be.

Astronomers generally agree that "it would be impossible the Maya themselves would have known that," says Susan Milbrath, a Maya archaeoastronomer and a curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History. What's more, she says, "we have no record or knowledge that they would think the world would come to an end at that point."

University of Florida anthropologist Susan Gillespie says the 2012 phenomenon comes "from media and from other people making use of the Maya past to fulfill agendas that are really their own."
