"Robert Schumann polarized St. Paul, German Village, with Church Shrinkage, and became an AAL agent."

Robert is now an awowed atheist. Sad, but true.

How treacherous for the lost and believers alike when the religious leaders practice their own brand of superstition.

James Witt sold copies of Paul Y. Cho at a WELS conference on starting cell groups?!!!

You have got to be kidding! I can't imagine any WELS pastor endorsing that stuff.

I was once given a Cho book by a co-worker and an immediately alarm bells went off inside me. I knew this was something other than Christian doctrine and believe me I was not exactly a confessional Lutheran at the time. Very occultic, but then I knew plenty of pentecostal types then.
