Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps is on ‘the edge of death’, according to his son.
Nate Phelps, who left the group in 1976, also revealed his father had been ex-communicated from the organisation last August and was now in a hospice in Topeka, Kansas, in the United States.
‘I’m not sure how I feel about this,’ he wrote in a Facebook post yesterday night.
‘Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made.
‘I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved.
‘And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members… from seeing him, and saying their good-byes.’
The provocative Westboro Baptist Church, which coined the term ‘God Hates Fags’, has been criticised for protesting funerals of dead American soldiers.
Whenever he does die. R.I.P troll
