The story is called:

Damsel, Arise: A Westboro Scion Leaves Her Church

And it begins like this…

Just after 11 last Sunday morning at Old First Reformed
Church in Brooklyn, the Rev. Dr. Daniel Meeter is starting the Sunday service
as he always does. He runs through the opening salutation and the collect for
the day, and then he welcomes everyone to church as he always does, introducing
Old First “as a community of Jesus in Park Slope where we welcome people of
every race, ethnicity and orientation to love God and love our neighbors as
ourselves.”

The congregation—some eighty strong on
this sunny but cold
February morning—is the usual mix of Park Slope churchgoing types: a
smattering
of journalists, a few artists, a handful of old ladies, some
rambunctious
children. But in the back row of the tin-ceilinged, wood-floored hall,
there’s
a visitor. It is Megan Phelps-Roper’s first time not only at Old First
but also
at any church not called Westboro Baptist. Yes, that Westboro Baptist,
the Topeka, Kansas, congregation that has become famous (or infamous,
depending
on your viewpoint) for its strident views on sin (and the abundance of
it in modern America), salvation (and the prospective lack of it), and
sexuality (we’re bad, in far more colorful terms).

Why did she leave?

“My doubts started with a
conversation I had with David Abitbol,” she says. Megan met David, an Israeli web
developer who’s part of the team behind the blog Jewlicious, on Twitter. “I would ask him questions about Judaism, and he would ask me
questions about church doctrine. One day, he asked a specific question about
one of our signs—‘Death Penalty for Fags’—and I was arguing for the church’s
position, that it was a Levitical punishment and as completely appropriate now
as it was then. He said, ‘But Jesus said’—and I thought it was funny he was
quoting Jesus—‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.’ And then he
connected it to another member of the church who had done something that,
according to the Old Testament, was also punishable by death. I realized that
if the death penalty was instituted for any
sin, you completely cut off the opportunity to repent. And that’s what Jesus
was talking about.”

But that’s just the beginning. Seriously, just the beginning. Read the whole piece here.
