Two granddaughters of Westboro Baptist Church firebrand Fred Phelps have split with the Topeka-based congregation, indicating their views have evolved and they now regret the pain they have caused others.
One of them, 27-year-old Megan Phelps-Roper, had been a highly visible member of the church who spoke to media outlets and spread its message via Twitter.
She and a younger sister, Grace Phelps-Roper, in November left the congregation known for its anti-gay stance and for picketing funerals of fallen soldiers and others.
“We ripped the Band-Aid off,” Megan wrote in a text Wednesday to The Star.

These were pretty prominent members. I don't know if any of you have ever seen the louis theroux documentaries on them, but you really should. The two are featured prominently in it

Yes, we saw them both. Must admire Theroux's patience and restraint.

yeah but even louis cracked at one point, he seems to briefly forget he's a journalist and gets into an actual argument, you can even see him wince over his mistake of letting his emotions get the better of him at 3:17 of part 3 of 8
