Former Westboro Baptist Church Member Explains Experience 

"where do you stand on same-sex marriage?" "I'm absolutely for it, love is love" - that was so beautiful and just shows you that change for the better is always possible!!

Megan is a prime wonderful example of how humans can be good

Having watched Louis Theroux’s documentaries on this family as well as many interviews with Meghan, it was still pleasantly shocking to hear her openly support gay rights. She’s kind and graceful in the way she carries herself now. She’s a new woman for sure.💜👌

Proof that you can change. Proof that you get more with sugar than vinegar. Proof that speaking in kindness is transformative. Proof that letting love lead your intentions can reach the darkest of places. She’s an incredible woman!

I'm so glad she is happy

She’s a true inspiration!

What a turnaround for what she was to who she is when she now thinks for herself and she's always been a very smart woman. God bless her honesty and freedom

I remember watching the protests and an old video of an interview with Megan and she had that glassy eyed look true believers have It's quite heart warming to see she broke out of that and seems to be a really lovely down to earth woman. She still loves her family completely despite who they are and what they do. Her mum was recently interviewed again by Louis Theroux and cracked a bit when she was asked by her kids who left the church before the brainwashing took hold again It's not hopeless for them but man, seeing the Phelps grandchildren and children leave have given me hope for people ensnared in any cult

I remember when I saw her, her mom, and sister on the Tyra show and I knew this girl was too smart, eventually, her beliefs will crack.

I love Megan Phelps-Roper so much!

I’m so proud and happy for Megan. I have no hate in my heart towards her as she saw the evil her family had created through the Church and I’m so happy she’s now preaching love and acceptance despite being brainwashed

Homie was committed to clapping them cheeks

The finale from The Who's "Tommy": "We're Not Gonna Take It." I once had a girlfriend who left me for Roger Daltrey. At the time, The Who were about to go on tour of America in support of their-'Who Are You?-album. My name is Tommy. Tommy Phelps; my first and middle name. I am a born-again Christian. My brother died of cancer last March. I, Thomas Phelps, showed up at his deathbed the day before died with a King James Bible, and started to read to him from 1 John. Standing beside was my earliest childhood friend, Jonathan. He worked for Prince back in 1984 for his 'Purple Rain' album/movie/tour.

I’m glad she is happy and free and changed her way of thinking

I'm happy for her she found love is a mother now. She saw the truth to bad the rest are still brainwashed. or know the truth and stuck and scared to leave.

Westboro church is located on 12th Street and Gage Blvd in Topeka, KS. The area is nice-looking.

I'm not christian, but from what i know about Christianity, i think that if christianity is real, megan is definitely going to heaven

I love your lenses.

When I was in the missionary Baptist Church they were not into helping out in the community or helping out in the soup kitchen or food banks or taking Christmas toys or school items to the homeless shelter and foster care homes like the Nondinominational churches do which is the church I go to now

perfect example and proof of the word of God where it says the great falling away.

Always had a thing for that girl

As a gay man, I'm so afraid of going to a church. I don't want to force people to think I'm a good christian or anything but I'd love to go in there and receive the word of God. I'm so scared that if I do. I will be met with a very strong anti gay narrative. I will not be comfortable.

Hiiiii Tamron..

My father is Jewish, my mother is German, and I am also a Phelps. How did this happen? Well, my mother has Phelps people in her family tree, and my parents named me after one of them; a U.S. admiral and war hero. In turn, he was married to a Jewess. They are buried together in Arlington National Cemetery; and on top of her grave is a very large Christian cross.

Where do you stand on same sex marriage ? why did she ask her that, like if you don't, we won't except you!.

Most of those people in that horrid "church" are ones that believe in the Great Creator and are searching for meaning in their lives and to trying to make sense of the world around them..and because of that perceived vulnerability there are those who exploit that and brainwash these otherwise kind hearted people..not all in that "church" are like that though,there likely are some genuinely hateful people..but I don't think all of them are..like this woman,she doesn't seem like a truly hateful person,otherwise she wouldn't have been able to lift the veil of lies and really see what was going on.. sadly religion in general has taken people's belief in God/Allah/the Great Creator and twisted it to serve the negative agendas of humans..but there are good people in every religion,I hope everyone can remember that..as this woman said "love is love" and at the end of the day love is all that matters :)

One extreme to another. She's now totally rejected Jesus.

sooo sad that she left the faith behind because of false baptist teachings

sounds like North Korea...

These comments here are crazy. 😢

I don't think we can define love is love. There are different kinds of love. The same love I have for my cat is different than the love I have for my family.

ALRIGHT!!!! Megan is For Same Sex Marriage!!!!!

1:12 "And that everyone else is wrong." That is the core of every religion/denomination out there. God is great/Jesus is Lord, all the humans who have managed to twist His message a thousand different ways - not so much. Personally I think the main components to focus on are to put God first, ALWAYS. Be nice. And help others out when you can. Now before anyone goes getting their panties in a bunch, yes there's a bit more to it than that. Things like asking forgiveness for your sins, etc. But for thé most parti think those three things are the majority of what God wants from us. Humans have been making it SO insanely difficult since the dawn of time. And in many cases they're doing it to benefit themselves. Hmm, seems like the words "the devil comes in many forms" comes to mind. I should also point out that it's only the higher ups in a lot of these "religions/denominations" that are a bit untruthful. Meaning that I, personally, feel that the people in the pews/the congregation who honestly feel they're doing what God wants will be just fine. Many of us who where brought up in any particular church or private school always heard "Never even talk to anyone from other religions/denominations because they're all wrong and will burn in hell. But fortunately for you 'we' ha6it right. Now give us your money and control of your life." Yet as we got older and started talking to others they would always say "They told us that same thing! You guys were wrong, if not the devil, and are all going to perish/they're the only ones going to heaven, blah blah blah." READ the scriptures for yourself. Personally I don't think you need anyone between you and God playing middle man. In fact I would say just the opposite. Obviously if you find a church that works for you then awesome, by all means go there. I'm only saying that one shouldn't be too caught up in all the negative stuff about how 'others are wrong' etc. Instead spend your time focusing on God's eternal love, forgiveness, bringing others to Christ. Want to do God's work? Go help some truly homeless people. Buy them some socks, underwear, coats, food, etc. Instead of giving your money to some guy in an expensive suit driving a Cadillac who lives in a mansion telling you that "God told me this morning that y'all need to buy me another private jet." Smh. And make sure when you do help those in need that you let them know the Lord is sending them this assistance, you're just the delivery guy. I know some will disagree, which is your right. And for those people, I will pray for you. Pray often. I do it pretty much throughout the day. For instance every time I hear an ambulance, firetruck, etc I stop and say a quick prayer asking the Lord to watch over and protect these amazing heroes He has blessed us with. Pray for whoever they're going to help. And something I have recently figured out to do, I pray for my enemies. Just seems like that's what Jesus would tell us to do. Anyhow thanks for listening to me ramble in and God bless you my friends. Be safe out there and please please do your best to try and bring others to Christ.

I remember her on Tyra and she was a much different person. Proof that she was groomed by a cult

Megan, please don't run into the world. Your family misrepresented the love of Christ, but that doesn't mean the Bible is wrong about everything, especially sin. God loves LGBTQ people, but he does call them to repentance the same he calls everyone else to repentance, and while God is love, hell is still a real place, because he is Holy. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water, I say this with love.

Boy this interview isn't going to age well when the minor attracted people roll up for their "rights". Oh wait, they are.

Sounds kinda like Islam

Luk 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

She sold out!

Sounds like JW teachings. It’s not up to us to be judge. We draw with love not hate. Period.

I still don't believe her

Well… I guess it’s never too late to reflect on your wrong past acts

That church might be the last church in The US that actually speaks the truth.

Good old bible. A quagmire of truth and fiction. Full of contradiction, discrepancy and error. (Bart Error) And they call that mess "The Word of God" !

We love you

She is Judas!!!

Adultery is love. Being amourous of a married woman is wrong. Venerial acts of men to men is wicked. So is pedophilia. What is this?

I'm so Glad, as smart and beautiful as she is, she left that horrible family, I'm sorry but, Christians don't bash at people like that, they don't have God's revelation. We hope 1 day they repent.

If she asked me. Do i support same sex marriage. I wud say hell no.

That’s all Megan does it goes on interviews and talk shows where she can get her 15 minutes of fame. And now she wants to be holier than thou. She was a disgrace to humankind when she was picking all those funerals And holding those disgusting signs and she still a disgrace today. Go to all those people’s and apologize for the hurt that you caused them. I Or maybe stand on all the street corners holding up for signs that saying I do apologize to anyone I have offended with my disgusting words

Megan has chosen the wide path that leads to eternal Destruction, the Lake of Fire. It's tragic that she threw the baby out with the bathwater. She could have kept Faith with GOD, and left WBC behind. It's not GOD who is twisted. But, rather, it's certain religious folks' misinterpretations of HIM. Pray that she repents and totally surrenders to JESUS CHRIST. Otherwise she's headed for Hell. And, that's so tragic, and avoidable.

She’s confused I feel sorry for her. Lord Jesus help her to see clearly dear Lord, help her to see that the way of the world is not right way to go. Dear Lord Jesus Heavenly Father I pray that you will bring your daughter back to you Lord Jesus. I pray in Jesus Mighty Name to show His daughter that she can only find true peace in Him. In Jesus’ Name I pray Amen! 🙏🏾🙌🏾📖🙏🏾 My God is going to work this out! Amen! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏽

Sorry that her mind was changed. Her understanding OR perhaps proper teaching should have been expanded. But God is Not for same sex marriage or same sex relationship. Thou he does give people d choice to repent n come unto him.
