The Phelps kids


I was bummed out to see how the Phelps kids developed in these four years. They're all so bright it's painful to watch. Like the two boys, especially the curly kid who is talking about his shame for having pride. And Grace, who is really talented and sweet. But all in all, if you listen to all of them and listen beyond the brainwashing, they are intelligent. Even the oldest one who had potential 4 years ago but became a proud posterchild for the family is very obviously smart. My only hope for these kids is that they manage to see through their (parents') beliefs and use their smartness to their advantage. Because maybe with a normal family they wouldn't stand out so much and be average, while growing up in this kind of environment gives them an edge. If they can get out and survive the initial shock of the "real world", they could become really good spokepeople.

I usually hate it when aspiring artists show me their photos, but Grace really did a beautiful job.

The story behind the pic with the Muslim boy was just sickening. But the picture itself says so much.

I hope that one day, Grace can really look at that picture she took and see the true meaning of life.

Apparently she did, cuz Grace and Megan quit the church a few months ago. You can find articles about it, and a statement they issued in February.

Noah was still going on about something he didn't understand.

Not too sure about all the daughters doing that stupid dancing to a Lady Gaga song?
That was weird.
