Westborough Baptist Church

Members were going to protest the Amish funerals today in accordance with their own agenda and understanding of the times... Radio host Mike Gallagher negotiated to have them on the show instead of doing their protest. Unbelievable how people can take certain strands of Protestantism so far and think they are fully justified in doing so. Their simplistic interpretation of the Gospel is such an obstacle to unbelievers...

What a contrast between them and the Amish... both are in some way anabaptist with regards to baptism, but undoubtedly they differ on other points.
