In reply to the discussion: Anyone have people living in "compounds", around them? [View all]TlalocW

From what I understand, the church and its members all own houses on the same block so they have in essence a communal back yard, and I guess some houses are connected.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing the screams from 70 miles away when Fred Phelps dies, and his family discovers his hidden cache of hard-core gay porn.
