"Shall we permit this to be done! in the name of Christian unity! and by a latitudinarianism that is our own heritage, which rises ever anew from the embers of the past to find such veiled support and strength in the citadel of Zion that Confessionalism is told to whisper low in Jerusalem lest she be heard on the streets of Gath."
Theodore E. Schmauk and C. Theodore Benze, The Confessional Principle and the Confessions, as Embodying the Evangelical Confession of the Christian Church, Philadelphia: 1911, p. 941.
The latest Church and Chicanery tumor has revealed the plan for the Jeske Time of Gath Network.
They will use their WELS connections to organize as many congregations and laity as possible, to leave with Jeske when he announces the consummation of his morganatic marriage with the Missouri Synod. Actually, in keeping with today's customs, the honeymoon came first.
To maximize their gain, they will play loyal servants until the heat is turned up. So far, the three State of Wisconsin Doctrinal Pussycats are in their corner. If that changes, Jeske will speak increasingly with a St. Louis accent, saying "fark" for "fork" and "carperation" for "corporation."

The fifth column in WELS.
God has a way of separating the wheat from the chaff. Jeske leaving would not be a great loss. He and his friends can head for the Missouri-Sinners. Do not let the WELS door hit you on the bottom on the way out. It will be just one less problem for WELS. The great “sifting” has begun. Even the chameleons will be rooted out and sifted. I am sure that God will supply eager young Confessional Lutherans to fill those slots.
“People today want to remake Jesus in their own image. They want a Jesus who demands nothing, never scolds, who accepts everyone and everything, who no longer does anything but affirm us.” This quote is from Pope Benedict and I think that it fits into the CG Movement. (I hated to use a quote from the pope, but it seems to fit so well).

Why the delay in giving Jeske the left foot? He should be gone by now. Could it still be in the works? Good grief, how long can it take to tell him to make his bed and then lie in it?
