Fred Phelps was at one time a well know civil rights attorney but was disbarred. Many of his children continue to practice law and manage to stop almost every attempt to limit their activities. They are by most definitions a cult. The group is mostly Fred's extended family, children, grandchildren, greatgrand children and in-laws. Their church, the Westboro Baptist Church, is in a 2 block walled compound where most of them also live.
They don't serve koolaid there do they?
