Alabama preacher Orlando Bethel and his wife Glynis appear to like render upon Caesar what is Caesar’s in the form of a continual stream of lawsuits. Now the Baldwin County’s school board has asked a judge block further lawsuits. The Bethels responded, you guessed it, by filing another lawsuit for $5 million.
The Bethels object to the denial of permission to set up a Christian after-school program and accuse the Board of religious bias against them. The board says that the Bethels have already cost them over $30,000 in legal fees so it filed with the local Circuit Court asking “for guidance in hopes of preventing prolonged legal expense to the taxpayers.”
“Guidance” is generally viewed as an advisory opinion, but some courts have barred filings from habitual litigants who file frivolous lawsuits. The Bethels have more than a dozen federal lawsuits against various government entities in Alabama, including the Baldwin school board, the town of Loxley and the cities of Selma, Montgomery and Robertsdale.
A bizarre video for “Corrupt Cops: Repent or Burn in Hell” appears to feature their work, here. Another protest video is shown here.
Previously, they complained that Orlando was beaten when he appeared at his wife’s uncle’s funeral to tell everyone that they (and the deceased) were going to hell, here. Glynis Bethel referred to her uncle as a “drunkard and a fornicator.” That always adds to a funeral.
There is a “Repent or Burn in Hell Ministry” connected with Westboro and features the work of the Bethels here.

sorry, I am so mad I am steaming. The smoke is coming out of my ears.
The insurance companies have NO reason to pay benefits because they can’t be sued.
Local governments have no reason to be honest because they can’t be sued.
There is no reason for a local government to find out if their employees and politicians are honest because they can’t be sued.
The police have no reason not to extort and harass people because they can’t be sued.
Employers have no reason not to harass threaten or steal from their employees because they can’t be sued.
City planners have no reason not to lie to citizens and not to take payoffs from developers because they can’t be sued.
Businesses have no reason to be careful with their products because they can’t be sued.
Lawyers have no reason to tell the truth or obey the laws because they can’t be sued.
Newspapers and internet publications have no reason not to print lies with the intention of hurting people if their advertisers want them to because they can’t be sued. They can print anything they want about any individuals with net worths of less than a few million because individuals can’t sue them. You want to hurt someone? Just place a $20,000 or $30,000 of advertising to a small town newspaper and then ask them to print lies about someone, attribute the lies to someone else, and call it First Amendment reporting privilege.
PS. What happened when I sued the City of Steamboat Springs et al is that the lawyer for the City and Kevin Bennett said they have “immunity” because they are government. Jane Bennett’s lawyer said that my claims against her should be dismissed because her lawyer had immunity because he was a lawyer because the magistrate said that lawyers have immunity. The Supreme Court said that prosecutors can be sued for their statements after a criminal charge is dismissed but the District of Colorado said that prosecutors have absolute immunity all the time no matter what they do.
Then the U.S. attorney served a search warrant on the Denver Players brothel and found that my judge, Edward Nottingham was one of their prostitution customers and the brothel had his phone number but not his credit card. And the brothel had the credit cards of prominent lawyers. So my theory is that Kevin Bennett’s lawyer paid for Judge Nottingham’s prostitutes and that’s why he said I was a vexatious litigant for claiming economic and personal damages under 42 United States Code section 1983 within two years of the events. I obviously can’t prove that Kevin Bennett paid for Judge Edward Nottingham’s prostitutes but he can’t prove that Nottingham dismissed my case for any other reason other than his paying for Judge Nottingham’s prostitutes because there was no jury trial and Nottingham didn’t write a memorandum opinion. That’s why I think I am entitled to a hearing from a different court with a judge who actually reads what I write, follows the written published rules, and actually rules according to statutes. Saying that I had my day in court because I paid $350 to file in federal court is meaningless.
DOJ put me in jail on the premise that I had sued the same parties more than once. But I never got a decision on the merits and the defense can’t prove res judicata. My claim was for first amendment retaliation. I was criminally prosecuted for the only reason that I had complained accurately that my neighbors built two extra buildings 10 feet from my property that violated the zoning. Because my neighbor was the boss the police and government harassed me until I sold my house to my neighbor’s lawyer. There was even a bullet hole through my window.
I read about a man who sued successfully for defamation and was paid. Then to get back at him the defendants went and republished the same defamatory publications. He had to try 13 times before he got a court to rule that defamation in a different time period is a new tort.
I sued the Steamboat Pilot for putting on the Internet that I would be tried for criminal harassment when they knew there was no written statement of probable cause and no evidence I did anything criminal at all and for publishing that my former neighbor Kevin Bennett, former president of the city council, and a convicted drug dealer, had been told by the City of Steamboat that his extra buildings complied with the zoning. Not only was there absolutely no evidence that I did anything criminal but the charges were dismissed in 2001 yet they continue to publish that I will be tried as if the charges were colorable. And as far as Kevin Bennett the extra buildings he built aren’t even on the tax rolls and he told the city council that all he built was a garage. Yeah, a two story garage with multiple rooms not accessible to automobiles, central heating and a bathroom for the cars to use the toilet in. He said he renovated the old garage — yeah by adding a kitchen and bathroom and a new foundation. A nonconforming unregistered former stable. The Steamboat Pilot told me they could print anything they want about me and there is nothing I can do about it. Because they covered up the truth another man burned to death because in Steamboat there are many illegal buildings and enforcement of the regulations is lax. This is a town of 10,000 with 14 professional city planners. Last time I checked the city attorney doesn’t have a contract with the city where he has been city attorney for 14 years and he operates a private real estate law practice. So if you want to get a zoning variance you can hire the law firm of the city attorney and pay him whatever and there is no public disclosure of that relationship.
I cannot express my hatred for Jane Bennett, Kevin Bennett, Randall Klauzer, Anthony Lettunich etc. enough. They deprived me of my Access to Court and they went out of their way to ruin my life just so they could get away with violating the zoning because they had the power. I wish an earthquake would devour their street. I wish Steamboat would default on its municipal bonds. I wish the Bennetts would die a painful death of a horrible disease or burn to death like David Engle, the man who died in the nearby residence whose owners didn’t feel a need to get permits or follow laws because the president of the city council didn’t feel a need to comply with the zoning either.
Did you know that the chance of a middle class person getting a trial in a federal court for a discrimination claim is less than 1% and that there are only four known instances of any pro se litigant getting damages in federal court even though over 22,000 pro se litigants who aren’t even prisoners file in federal court every year? The federal judges are simply too busy with business’s who hire lawyers who take them golfing to even read what regular people write. They might as well just rule that you can’t even file in federal court unless you have a budget of $500,000 for legal bills. Not that being in federal court should be so difficult — one of the four who won in a jury trial was a janitor.
We know longer have rule of law only rule of money. In Steamboat Springs property owners complain to the city council that when they buy the city tells them their that certain things can or cannot happen next door and 5 years later the completely opposite happens.
The 1871 Congress intended § 1 to “throw open the doors of the United States courts” to individuals who were threatened with, or who had suffered, the deprivation of constitutional rights, id. at 376 (remarks of Rep. Lowe), and to provide these individuals immediate access to the federal courts. Patsy v. Board of Regents of State of Florida, 457 U.S. 496 (1982)
That’s what Thurgood Marshall said but he lived in a different country that actually respected constitutional rights.
“Real and meaningful access to courts is fundamental to the health and vitality of any democracy. It is the shield used by citizens to protect themselves against tyranny, abuses, and simple errors in judgment. Access to the courts is the lifeblood of the system because from it flow all other rights” Issues in Democracy August 2004 Robert J. Gray Jr. former ABA president.
But these days all you can do in court unless you are rich is get sent to jail and get divorced. We don’t have a democracy anymore. Thieves and crooks run our governments and businesses with impunity because we can’t sue them.
Forget about medical insurance too. Those contracts can’t be enforced by individuals in court. The insurance companies have reason to pay benefits because they can’t be sued except by big business.
I predict the return of duels as a way to resolve our differences because judges are too busy and we can’t get to a jury even if our lawsuit “sounds like a Hornbook textbook” as the Magistrate said about my complaint.
I also advise anyone and everyone not to even step foot in Steamboat Springs because when it comes to law it is the wild west there.

Glynis confirmed fo us that “[t]hey are a bunch of losers (BCBE) because they are fighting against GOD and GOD has bankrupted them.”
********
And silly me I thought their beef was against Glynis and her wacky husband, Orlando, another apparent mentee of the good Rev. Phelps. Funny how these Christian folks always know God’s will (despite His annoying silence) and are his duly appointed earthly warriors against the denizens of Hell who always seem to be opposing them. That is very convenient from a theological point of view.
Well you are goofy glynis.
GOD is good.
How can you say that our lawsuits are “frivilous”? What is frivilous is the fact that the school board is STILL denying me the use of the building and have the audacity to file a lawsuit against me to STOP me for fighting for my rights.
They are a bunch of losers (BCBE) because they are fighting against GOD and GOD has bankrupted them. They attempted to beat the system, but I have studied law and I am able to defend myself in a Federal Court or any courtroom. The corrupt attorneys won’t help, but GOD is my lead attorney.
They underestimated the power of GOD working through me to fight for civil rights.
Anyone can see through the videos that our lawsuits are not frivilous. They are justified. For example, in the Loxley video, anyone can see that my husband is NOT breaking any laws, but being removed from a PUBLIC sidewalk illegally in which we have the right to access through the basic First Amendment.
Also, we are NOT associated with Fred Phelps even though considering him to be one of my mentors, he did not ordain us. This is a lie and parody. The website which states that is not my site, but someone is spreading gossip and lies.
Shriley Phelps denounces me as a “false” prophetess and calls me “goofy.”

There was this guy see.
He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
A few moments later…
“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
A few moments later…
“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
A few moments later…
“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”
Jill,
Since you mentioned witchcraft yesterday, I have been afraid to get out of bed! I hope I am not possessed! If I see anyone that even looks like Bishop Muthmee, I am going to run!
