NEWS RELEASE
WBC TO PICKET FUNERAL OF RONNIE JAMES DIO AT THE HALL OF LIBERTY, 6300 FOREST LAWN DRIVE, LOS ANGELES, CA, SUN., MAY 30, FROM 1:15 – 2:00 PM
This rebel had a God-given platform – for decades – which he should have utilized to publish the truth of God. Instead, he used that platform – for decades – to teach rebellion against God, in the form glorifying atheism, promoting the devil horn hand sign & other such idolatries. Now he has been cut off by an Angry God & cast into hell.
"And the rest of the men …repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (meaning druggie, which he was), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." Revelation 9:20-21.
The arrogant God-hating fool changed his name from Padavona to Dio (meaning “God” in Italian). His Black Sabbath fans worshipped him as a god. He stood idly by & watched his niece, Gen Padavona, become a filthy porn star. God’s promises are true, including his promise to punish the wicked forever. Thank God for dead brute Dio!
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels," Matthew 25:41.
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." Psalm 53:1.

Forest Lawn Memorial-Park, Hollywood Hills 6300 Forest Lawn Drive WBC to picket this public memorial to remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short. You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) Black Sabbath fame is dead, right? We'll be there! Just because the chances of any of God's elect being amongst this group of heavy metal sycophants is slim to none does not mean they should not get some good words. Yes, it is true that Ozzy Osbourne did "accidentally" bite off the head of a bat, but THAT is the least of their sins (little nasties!), they currently do not do that, but they throw raw meat to the audience and encourage violence of EVERY FORM! Here you have the list of admitted sins of this now dead and in hell pervert: 1) He hates his neighbor(s) starting with Ozzy Osbourne, and continuing down to his pornography star niece Gen Padova! 2) He hates God. Pay especial attention to the fact that he changed his original sir name from Padova to Dio, which means God in Italian. 3)Ronnie the simpleton enabled, and encouraged Sorceries: everything he was about including the little finger horn thing (he got this from his mother which is an incantation to ward off the "evil eye") to the drugs, bloody raw meat and his fellowship with those pentagon necklace wearing freakish band members. Yes, Ronnie James Padova (NOT DIO) is currently residing in hell. When all those who worship him and his false gods meet him in hell it will be just like this: Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Praise God all ye, His people. The Great Day of the Lord draws nigh. AMEN!

I'll echo Sixx's earlier sentiment: Maybe these idiots could learn a thing or two from such a beloved icon. Namely compassion, tolerance, respect of others and humility.

 

[MetalUpYourA]

They have crossed the line, not to mention not even knowing how kind Ronnie was. It's all just sickening.

F*****n religious fanatics, they always have to spill their venom, don't they? Where did "forgive your brother" and "love your enemies, do good to those who hate you" go?!? What a bunch of hatred-filled holier-than-thou pricks! Just look at their URL, they obviously don't believe in a god of love, but a god of hate, otherwise they wouldn't gloat about somebody dying...

Now they present Dio as the proof of god's wrath for heretics and whatnot, what a pile of crap... Anyone can develop cancer, my brother's wife has it and she's done no wrong to anybody, I'm really interested in their explanation for that. "God's will" I suppose, when you don't know what to say that always works... Norwegian church burners should've burnt these dorks along with their church instead of those old churches in their homeland.

...and the streets shall flow with the blood of ne non believers!
I love the way they're so convinced he's in hell now.

 

[razoredge]

religious zelots, as bad as moshers for screwing everything up. Its totally disrespectful to not leave well enough alone on ones funeral. I suspect this could get real ugly because I simply cant imagine anyone present tolerate them interfering with a mans memorial. Throughout history even enemies at war gave peace and honour to bury the dead. I surely hope the police agencys dont allow this to happen, its just so totally disrespectful and SO wrong, that it could get real real ugly. Its the worst thing another human can do in my opinion and if say someone mows a bunch of them down with a Semi it will be "just", disrespect deserves disrespect, reap the harvest you sow, hatred begets hatred

 

[carnut]

Metalheads should show their strength and completely ignore this !

Maybe everyone knows about this group, but if you don't, they are just a crazy bunch of folks from Kansas who the media gives far too much coverage too. I read not long ago that there are only 30 or 40 members in this church, and that the majority of them are family members of the pastor, a title I use loosely.

We'll see what happens. I think they are just silly, of course, and I hope and trust that the metal community will just look the other way. Most metal concert attendees in America have suffered at least one picket line of, 'religious,' folks - I've seen it many times myself, even in the forward thinking San Francisco Bay Area...the last time I saw Iron Maiden even, which was just a few years back now. Point being, metalheads have experience with protesters, and I think can pretty successfully ignore them at this point. Granted emotions may run a little higher at a memorial.

If the Marines and their families can more or less successfully avoid fist fights with them, I'm sure music fans can handle it - This is the same group who pickets the funerals of soldiers who die in battle...somehow oddly labeling them as homosexuals, for what reason I am not sure.

I'm just reporting - I don't have any particularly strong opinions on soldiers, gay people, or metalheads! Live and let live. All are welcome to seek their happiness - maybe with the exception of these asshats from Kansas - ha.

Dio was not religious, this cult spreads ignorance.

 

[poundingmetal74]

Fred Phelps and his cult are a bunch of charlatans. Here's another article about the protest and they also explain more about these "protesters":

As the mod, and along Henri I think in order to keep the peace in the forum we should do as you say.

But as an individual I say let's put those assholes into their church and blow it all with thermite and napalm. Let's God sort them out .

My final take on the subject, please everybody keep the thread calmly.

 

[desert_demon]

And I thought this whole "metal is the devil's music" had gone out of fashion. I guess it will never really go away.

 

[Hawk]

desert demon it's a very marginal group of loonies.

 

[wdiv]

desert demon it's a very marginal group of loonies.

They're a group of fanatics pretty much hate everything and like to get attention. They got attention locally last year for picketing military funerals, claiming that the soldiers' deaths was result of military allowing gays in the military. They've got a long track record of being stupid and disrespectful, so Dio's not really being singled out here.

I have nothing against peoples beliefs in general, if you believe in god and that gets you through the day GREAT!! I am truely happy for you its a good thing .... but these people have a very sick and twisted view on things, I first heard about them from their protests at soldies funerals ... now I dont believe in the war and dont feel particularly bad for the soldiers ... they signed up for it and do what ever the goverment tells them ... but I was horrified to find out about their protest at funerals, this should be illeagel(sp?) it is not a protest but harrasment, they should let folks mourne in peace. now I am not a realigous person never have been, but I am pretty sure that if there is a hell these twisted fucks will be there, and that Ronnie James DIO is far more deserving of a place in Heaven than these fools will ever be ... I know as a metalhead I can ignore these morons, but as an American they are pissing on the constitution and taking advantage of its wording, I personally think they should be taken to a living hell where they are skinned alive and dipped in a salt and vinagar brine untill they die

 

[Marco Spain]

I love America but that kind of things can only happen in the US.

 

[bt9x]

i am with the rest of you on this.
this is sick and deplorable.
i have been raised Roman Catholic and even now at 42 years i still love God-although Catholicism has been brutally stained in recent years

i always was happy to say to people about the song;"Last in Line" hey! that song reminds of the bible quote;he who is first to enter heaven shall be last,he who last shall be first

i am proud of that and tell people an intelligent man wrote the song"Last in Line"

 

[mutantllama]

hopefully if they get hit at all it will be hard.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Wendy Dio is appealing for calm, and wants them to just be ignored. My gut instict, if I was going to be there, would be a beat down, but I would respect the family's wishes, and ignore them. I personally think that the US has become extremely pussified in the last 10-15 years. We worry too much about offending people. Cartoonists are threatened, Words removed from pledges, school text books altered, it just never ends. I beleive ignoring them only empowers them to continue on. I'd love to come home with WBC member's molar embedded in my boot heel...
