I like the word defenestration, finding it useful in dealing with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and Pope John the Malefactor.
The word is used in history when Roman Catholic officials were thrown out the window. A soft landing followed - on a manure pile. This started the Thirty Years War -
Old Fashioned Protestant Diplomacy
Defenestration means - thrown out the window.
The congregations and pastors tossed out of the ELS have formed an association, listed here:
First Evanger (First Confessional Lutheran Parish), Fertile, Minnesota
Grace (First Confessional Lutheran Parish), Crookston, Minnesota
Reformation, Hillsboro, Oregon
St. Mary Evangelical Lutheran Chapel, Des Moines, Iowa
St. Paul, Escondido, California
Wayfarer's Chapel, Fillmore, California
And others
