Christians To Help Synagogue Targeted By Hate Freaks

2009_09_ordc.jpg Here's a nice sweet story for a change: Beth Elohim, the Park Slope synagogue targeted by the Westboro Baptist Church, will be holding its Yom Kippur services at Park Slope Old First Dutch Reformed Church. Apparently the synagogue had suffered a partial roof collapse on Thursday, and needed a place to go for Yom Kippur, Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn tells us. Pastor Daniel Meeter of OFDRC offered Beth Elohim the use of his church for the holy day — even though it's a Sunday. Makes up a little bit for the harassment Beth Elohim is getting from those other "Christians."

I bet those Baptists will use this in their campaign. "You see! It has begun! God has raised His mighty hand and smote the Godless house of the Jews! The Jews themselves are next!"

Those "Baptists" are not really baptists other than that's the name they chose. They aren't really affiliated with any church at all and are really a family cult with only family members in their "church" But yeah, those wackos will try to prove something from this. They are the next manson family if you ask me.
