Where do the members of Westboro Baptist church get their funding to travel?

I mean I can barely afford to drive across town everyday to go to work yet these assholes from Westboro Baptist church traveled all the way to Newtown Connecticut today to picket that prayer vigil they held tonight for the victims of that shooting. WTF? And I heard they're planning to go to Maryland next! Don't these people have jobs, and responsibilities? And where are they getting the money to do all this traveling around the country to keep doing their nonproductive and down right disrespectful sinister bullshit!

    First off, being a "religious" organization, they don't pay taxes. Secondly, any expenses they incur in the name of the "church" can be written off...

    i'm a Christian. i don't take the Bible actually. It became written with the aid of fellows, years after the activities easily happened. That being pronounced i'm very religious. And thinking this way does not make me much less religious. The Bible additionally condemns many different issues that folk forget approximately. It talks approximately how women people could be subject to men, and how slavery is okay. How we could continually not placed on outfits of blended fabric. The Bible for me is a handbook, not a rulebook. The Westboro Baptist Church is a team of hating people who condemn each and everything that's distinctive than them. i'm sorry yet that isn't Christian. As Gandhi pronounced: i admire your Christ, i do in comparison to your Christians. Your Christians are so in comparison to your Christ.

    "Charity" donations, I guess. Just because they're totally insane doesn't mean everyone hates them. There are plenty of rich folk willing to spare a few thousand for a "worthy cause". Plenty of less-than-rich people giving them money too. Sad but true.

    Edit: Or it could be sueing. Lots of people seem to be saying that, so I guess it's true. I don't know much about the WBC.

    They make a lot of money suing people when their antics provoke a violent attack

    They travel with video equipment and a entourage of lawyers

    I am not kidding.
