    Ah that shower of nutjobs have been causing outrage in the States for sometime now. They should just be left to their own devices most of the time, but arrested on public disturbance charges when they gatecrash a funeral.

    I'm constantly amazed at how Theroux manages to gain such access to people like this, but I suppose waving a bag of British tax payers money at groups like this will gain you some bit of clout

    This was frightening at first, that scum like this exist in the world should make all fair-minded, right-thinking people on the planet reach for their rusty razorblades.
    As it went on though, it was reassuring how isolated they are, and in a country full of religious nutjobs that's really some going.
    Louis really didn't like them, you could tell. Got quite het up by his standards. Kind of tore them apart!

    I doubt he has to pay much, if anything - most of the mentalists want to get their view out there.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    For a gang like this though, who hate him for having a child out of wedlock etc., I'd say some money would have had to change hands for them to open up as much as they did initially

    Very very scary. I'm surprised nobody has tried to blow up their HQ.

    Im just glad after so many years they only have 71 members , but still as in one clip they packed up the whole family to fly to chicago to picket a funeral

    They reckon stuff like if you get knocked down by a car it was god because you are wicked and you will go to Hell !!!! .

    You can have a look on youtube there are some clips from fox news with this woman she just looks mental

    im surprised no one has gunned the lot of them down in a drive-by job at one of their 'protests', there must be a chance of it happening with the ammount of twitchy, trigger happy, gun-collecting, ex-marine types in that country.

    It is disturbing to see people like that and shows the problem with indoctrinating children.

    The funny thing is that these are probably the only people who are following the bible to its exact words and not cherry-picking the bits that suit them like other religions.

    Did anyone see the 'Best of' show they had before he started making new documentaries?

    One of them was a woman in Southern California who was putting her pre-adolescent daughters into a musical group that sang songs about Neo-Nazism. Very scary.

    Hannity and colmes in denouncing religious radicalism shocker.
    Makes me think an old fashioned cult mass suicide wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

    Is that the two blond twins who sing neo-Nazi folk songs? If it is they're far too popular stateside for it not to be very scary

    Prussian Blue is the name of their group.

    As for the Phelps, I seen the show the other night and was disgusted by their views on homosexuality. You'd swear it was a choice. I felt sorry for the children, who obviously hadn't a clue what it was all about.

    Agreed, the brainwashing of the children was the truly disturbing aspect of their crazy gang. I was also disappointed that Theroux failed to challenge their image of an angry, vengefulful God.

    I think (not sure) Theroux is an atheist, so either he is the type of atheist doesn't care what they think about someone that doesn't exist (in his opinion) or he's the type that posts in the Dawkins God Delusion thread on this forum

    Prussian Blue are just plain creepy, but you have to feel sorry for those two girls, they hadn't a hope of being brought up normal. Their parents should be in jail for child abuse.

    I felt sorry for the young kids who were brought out on the protest. One got hit by a 'soda' thrown from a passing car at the protesters.

    Grampa Phelp's was one scary individual. When Theroux first meets him and Grampa is doing a sermon for TV do I hear him denouncing a person and naming him individually. I thought thats what I picked up from the sermon.
