Pastor Rick Johnson, in Corona, California, got his Geneva gown in a bunch because I posted a typo on Bailing Water.
First, Bailing Water posted the Open Letter, which I also published.
Second, Rick Johnson offered a typical Church and Change rebuttal, attacking the author for being anonymous, for being "too general," etc. Sanctimoniously, he signed his name (for once), as if that made his response credible. The Shrinkers have always used the same method. They avoid the issue of false doctrine because they hate Lutheran doctrine. They change the subject and cloak their agenda.
Third, I posted a quick response, identifying Rick as a Shrinker and Leonard Sweet-heart.
Rick follows the old lawyer's trick: "If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you don't have either on your side, pound the table."
Rick is a table-pounder, just like the rest of the Changers. He belongs to the secretive cabal that has controlled the finances and agenda of "conservative" Lutherans for decades.
Doctrine - not on his side.
The facts - let's avoid what the Changers have done and spent.
The Changers are offended that people have not held their hands and explained their sins to them (Matthew 18). Of course, when people did exactly that to Kelm, he wrote he would not discuss Leonard Sweet at all.
The Changers are offended that someone would write without his real name. About 100% of the attempted rebuttals on Ichabod are anonymous. A number of them are too obscene and crude to reproduce, even with the words deleted.
Rick and Company enjoy seeing names so they can activate the Changer Slander Machine, the same one which labeled Koeplin, a senior pastor, "brain-damaged" for criticizing Church Growth and amalgamation. The same Changer Slander Machine labeled the former seminary president as "senile" for opposing amalgamation.
When I revealed that Rick was a Sweet-heart with offerings deep in the red, he erased the facts he published and began yelping about his public blog being quoted. He forgot to mention that he erased his slobbering reference to Sweet. Table pounding.
The Shrinkers are terrified now. The laity and pastors can see what Mischke-Gurgle-Patterson-Mueller did to WELS. (Yes, I know how to spell Gurgel. Just having fun with a name.) I hope the Shrinkers keep shrieking like little girls who just saw a spider. People can see them for what they are - insubordinate, dishonest, lazy false teachers. They are clouds without rain, belly servers, wolves wearing the finest fleece (bought with synod subsidies).
Paul warned about wolves from within and without. The Changers are the wolves within.
Believing this relieves WELS pastors from writing their own sermons, visiting their members, and studying the Book of Concord.
Leonard is so much Sweeter, and he is FB friends with Stezers.

My,my, that describes roughly half the pastors in WELS today. Satan has been busy.
"The agenda of the Shrinkers is charted by Babtist Ed Stetzer - Make diciples, because diciples bring in more sheep to be shorn."
In the best con jobs victims bring in others to be victimized. Ed should know.
After reviewing WELS, readers must come away with the impression that Obama is running it, too.
Get the WELS monkey off your back. Take a stand, now.
Do NOT call the tree trimmer! Removal of all the rot from WELS would leave only a damaged trunk that needs to go, too.

People need to see them for the phonies that they are.
"Paul warned about wolves from within and without. The Changers are the wolves within."
They are a nest of Satanic vipers, too.

There needs to be a showdown at next month's convention. Either all WELS members are aware of the Church Growth situation and agree to stay and sway to the music, or it gets cut out 100% and we start over. Let the chips fall where they may. Church Growth will be a deal breaker for our family's involvment with the WELS.
To the Parlows and Skis out there, why don't you just leave the synod? Obviously, we're all just bringing you down. Think of all the great things you could do without all this crazy WELS negativity. Then you can go to your Drive conferences and invite your favorite speakers to preach at your church. You'll just pack 'em all in.
Doesn't "Mars Hill - De Pere" have a nice ring to it? I bet people would love it!
That's what I'm saying, JR. Why would they want to stay here in the first place? All these men know what the WELS was and what they're getting into when they felt the need to become pastors and leaders of our synod. They are doing their best to mold it and shape it into some model that has already been done...it's called the Baptist Church! It's like putting a square peg into a round hole - it just doesn't work. They should just take the path of least resistance and leave the rest of us the way we like it. Call me an old fuddy-duddy but nobody in my church is calling out for change.
