I am glad the fake-Ichabod is presenting his case--anonymousely.
First of all, he is a coward who is afraid to sign his name, either to his posts or his comments on this blog. I do not think Joe Krohn is the blogger, because he knows how to format and has a sense of humor. Tim Felt-needs is similar. Besides - both guys have signed their names to comments and their blogs while the new/old blogger never has.
Secondly, the fake-Ichabod has to ape this blog. Envy and malice are the fruits of Church Growth, but only when leavened with deceit, stealth, and timidity.
Thirdly, the doctrinal stances of Church and Chicanery are revealed - exactly as I have stated so many times. The three hobbyhorses are:
1. Universal Objective Justification.
2. The Church Growth Movement.
3. Valleskey's We Believe, Therefore We Sneak.
Does the fake Ichabod want to promote Deutschlander's Theology of the Cross and his comments on Whoopee Worship? No-o-o-o-o.
Does the fake Ichabod want to inform readers about Pietism? No-o-o-o-o-o.
Someone suggested that I complain to Blogger, but I love seeing Church and Change reveal itself in its simian glory.

The fake Ichabod has a mission: protect and preserve the misguided C&C, its minions, and the illusion that all is well by attacking any and all Truth.

Sadly synod leadership refuses to see that it is not only part of the problems but also the cause of so many problems in synod. This includes the Great Valleskey.

Pastors repudiate the examples of Christ. If they sought to emulate Christ, they would hand-pick Christians and go preach in shopping malls, or anywhere else for that matter. They don’t. Instead they wait for unbelievers to come to them in their churches.

GJ - The Pietistic agenda is to have the sheep find the sheep, apart from the Means of Grace. However, the Shrinkers are not interested in unbelievers. Most of their gathering is from other churches. They have not increased the numbers of Christians in America, as they admit. Look at shrinking WELS, after 32 years of Church Growthism. Some WELS/ELS hives have grown in numbers from being anti-Lutheran entertainment centers. Kelm-Parlow's St. Mark Depere is one of those.
C&C wants to gather where they have not sown. For example, The CORE Lutheran Church aims at the WELS members in Fox Valley, not the unchurched. The services Sunday evening allow people to go to their own churches and gather for a C&C revival at the Imax Movie Theater.
