Facebook 101


Meine Wanderjahre - After precociously earning a DMin in three days at Fuller Seminary,
filled with despair, I went to Paris for a real education.

Wisconsin should teach these rules to their young charges:
  1. If you don't want your photo to appear, never have it taken.
  2. If you don't want it copied, never post it or send it to a "friend."
  3. Friendships do not last forever, but digital photos do.
Anyone can get a Facebook account and look up the first page for an individual. I just looked up the name of a friend. I know from email that this is not the right person. But I can see and copy his profile photo. Some people do not post one, but the majority seem to provide one. I only know one person who has posted a photo with a celebrity tart, and he is a WELS Shrinker pastor: Tim Glende. The photo is still posted.

The home page is easily found. Anyone can see Dom Perignon Patterson's home page. He has posted a photo on it. No zebras or fish were killed for that pose. Photo albums are different. They can be posted in various ways, from "everyone" on Facebook to a limited group.


Ski's profile picture is fairly tame, but it does include some minor celebrities (I imagine, from the look on his face). He has albums open to everyone, so a photo with the same tart (same dress, too) is easily found, plus other photos with similar standards.




 Katy Perry is cheating on Ski and Glende
with Russell Brand, notorious rake and potty-mouth.

Those albums are still open for viewing. People must be looking at them, because my software shows them leaving Ichabod for Facebook. Howls of outrage should be saved for those who post such pictures and keep them up for world-wide viewing.

Not another lapse of sound judgment! MLC students have that disease, too.

Hi Pastor,

Friendships do not last forever, but digital photos do

How come some of the readers here do not appreciate your jokes?


The photos of these pastors posing with some celebrity do not speak well of their character nor their set of values. In fact it shows they have questionable character. It shows they endorse what these celebrities stand for.

Back home we have a saying: Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.

OOPS! I just clicked on the link to Ski's Facebook, and it has disappeared!

Ski and Glende will no doubt prove very therapeutic to WELS if only in a negative way. Members now have the opportunity to see pastors for the sinful creatures that they are. Sadly many of them are wolves in sheep's clothing.

This describes about 95% of the worthless, sinful fools that post on this blog and break the 8th Commandment on a conscious, daily basis. How come, instead of complaining about all of this on the Internet, the people who are so upset about this just send a letter to SP Schroeder, or to Ski and Glende themselves? What a rotten hole of judgment and gossip this blog is.

And before anyone says, "Well, why don't you be the one to email SP Schroeder?", the pictures don't bother me or lead me to sin, so I have no problem with them.

Anon 5:39, the answer is obvious. You along with SP Schroeder, Ski and Glende live in denial with respect to such matters.
