WELS Church Lady wrote me to say she did not send the comment posted about Mary Lou College's Gaydar dish.
She suspected a college student. As people know from the front page editorial in WLC's The Thword, the students at both schools tend to be weepy and whiny, easily hurt and offended. They really need your support and affirmations, so mail them some Miley Cyrus and Adam Lambert videos to watch, to boost their spirits.
I question that they have really forgiven their opponents, as they claim, because gracious losers would not feel compelled to take on another person's identity on a blog. Deceit is so subtly taught at those two colleges. WLC even tried to hire Gunn as a second chaplain, to provide even more contemptuous worship when the students are not interested in it anyway. Gunn pretends to be Lutheran, one more deception from the Chicaneries. WELS pretends to discipline Gunn. "What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."
Someone posted on Bailing Water, using my name. I do not mind anonymous comments at all. Many people do need to protect their identities, knowing what the Chicaneries are like. However, stealing someone's identify is really low.
The Church and Change leaders excel at only one thing, and that is not Lutheran ministry. They are superb at destroying relationships. They will do anything to keep their opponents from reaching critical mass and tossing them out. WELS would be better off losing 1/3 of the pastors and most of the teachers. The entire school system could be sold to Missouri, Fuller, or ELCA. It is nothing more than a feeder system for Fuller, Willow Creek, Granger, Northpoint, Life Church, Mars Hill, and Leonard Sweet.com.

TR has left a new comment on your post "More Puerile Behavior":
Greg,
As a WELS member, I have some issues with your comments. I will not stand and defend everything that MLC students do - they are students and sinners. However, their choice of college does not change their sinful Adams overnight. Are they held to a higher standard? Yes. Should they be?
You will find, if you looked, that the majority of students at the school are strong Christian leaders. They are doing their best to prepare themselves for the public ministry.
The problem, of course, is that there are some students who give a bad name to the others. You could categorize them by the sports they play, the high schools the attended, or even by their family name. Those students would be doing many of the same things at any other school. Would you use the statement of "the students at both schools tend to be weepy and whiny, easily hurt and offended" to say that all students at the University of Phoenix or the University of Notre Dame are also weepy and whiny - because of the actions of a few?
Your post on the "gaydar" is going too far. If you have ever spoken to President Mark Zarling, you would recognize a man who is a stalwart Lutheran, who has a genuine love of education, and who is actively working towards change at all levels of the school. His door is always open to talk with students about any problem they face. His door was open when the men who put the video online wanted to talk about what they should do.

GJ - A stalwart Lutheran would not allow his school to be used as a backdrop for "Luther" flinging the Scriptures away to do battle with the Sprinter. A stalwart Lutheran would have the video removed from You Tube.
The excuses for "Party in the MLC" were so flimsy that they deserved the gaydar graphic. I asked one Lutheran if anyone could possibly miss the gaity of the original, "Party in the Fire Island Pines." He said, "Impossible." Needless to say, the MLC version was far worse in every respect, but the actors have "forgiven" those who objected. Tis funny how that forgiveness was expressed in a rather nasty, self-indulgent front page editorial in The Thword (WLC), which was weepy and whiny.
I do not blame all of MLC or all of WLC for the idiotic behavior of a few athletes. I do blame the student bodies for jumping on the bandwagon to defend the video by attacking anyone offended. Readership doubled overnight when I posted the video the first time. College students could not wait to post examples of their blind loyalty to friends, poor education in Lutheran doctrine.
I know there are good students and professors at both schools, but both schools are turning out classic mainline apostates nevertheless.
MLC's need to run their own Church and Change day (disguised as Missions Day) was another example of flinging poo in the face of WELS, especially with Paul Calvin Kelm as the elderly exemplar of apostasy - keynote speaker, no less.
