Mark Phelps, one of the oldest (and departed) children of Westboro Baptist Church, the infamous Kansas congregation known for its hateful and emotionally-distressing pickets of military funerals, political events and popular concerts, has just recently started a blog on his journey of healing. It can be found here.
Reading the blog can both disturb you and give you hope. Praise be to God for His recent healing work in Mark Phelps's life. But you also learn some of the scary details of Westboro's beginnings and life in the Phelps's abusive and prison-like household, submitting in fear to the anger of Fred Phelps and the application of hateful theology of what Mark Phelps only refers to as "his [Fred Phelps's] god."
