WELS pastors are experts on Scriptural divorces. All the divorced and remarried pastors have Scriptural divorces. In Columbus, three of the six pastors (one a phony) were divorced and remarried, a bit higher than the national average. All of them were Scriptural divorces.
Marvin Schwan, who divorced his first wife and married his employee's wife, also had a Scriptural divorce. His second wife probably had a Scriptural divorce too.
The neat thing about this Scriptural divorce gambit is the attack on the ex-spouse. Someone was anonymously thundering about that in the name of the Eighth Commandment, of course. He was loudly and anonymously accusing the first Mrs. Fleischmann on a public blog. Is she there to defend herself? What about the others involved?
Once a pastor's wife is disposed of, the rest of the brethren are free to slander her at will. I saw that in Columbus and elsewhere. The statistical likelihood of all these pastors being innocent victims?
Rule Number 1 in WELS - homies can do no wrong.

ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
