Megan Phelps-Roper's Struggle Of Leaving Everything She Believed Her Whole Life
Born on 31 January 1986, Megan Phelps-Roper was raised in the Westboro Baptist Church alongside her mother, Shirley Phelps-Roper and her ten siblings. Megan’s grandfather, Fred Phelps founded the church.
During her time while she was in the church, she would make frequent appearances on the Howard Stern Show with her family.
And it was is November 2012 that the 32-year-old activist made a public departure from the church with her sister, Grace as they published an open letter that explained the reasons for leaving.
With all her siblings and relatives crying during her departure from the Church, one of her cousins came in the room stone-faced and told Megan that she was going to Hell. She has confessed that her family members have cut ties with her.
In fact, after they left the church and her sister, Grace tried to drop off a birthday cake they had prepared for their younger sister. And their mother locked the door refusing to let them in.
But despite all the emotional damage Megan and her sister faced with the parting with their siblings and their family disowning them, today Megan has stood tall, and people have recognized her for publicly criticizing the Westboro Baptist Church.
