Extra Nos is the central meeting place for UOJ Stormtroopers. MDiv classmates Jay Webber (Little Sect on the Prairie) and Paul McCain (LCMS) are dodging issues about their peculiar opinions.
I need to find my loving pigs graphic again, where I show how Pietism unites UOJ, Church Growth, and Receptionism.
Needless to say, neither Paul nor Jay has ever done anything against Church Growth.
McCain supported the biggest church growth location near the Purple Palace, St. John Ellisville (The CORE of Missouri - yes, that bad) and Heresiarch Al Benke. But McCain rejoiced in pulling the rug out from under Robert Preus.
Jay had no trouble working with Shrinker Floyd Luther Stolzenburg via their Church Growth buddy Roger Kovaciny. Stolzenburg was kicked out of Missouri "for cause," forced to resign. The question was not "who and for how long" but "how many and what ages?" In truth, Webber was against working with Stolzenburg until Jay was on the receiving end of the money from that Masonic congregation.
When I asked an ELS list-serve about Floyd never helping with the pro-life counseling agency in Columbus, in spite of his record of meddling in everything else, the list-serve went nuts and shut down. Rule Number One - never ask a serious question in the Little Sect.
UOJ dissolves the conscience but sanctimony remains.
LP asked me why these people are having so much trouble about UOJ. One reason is their theological immaturity. They have not done any study since seminary and it shows. They are still at the repeat-after-me level of education, the goal of parochial schools.
Another reason is the construction of their house of cards. UOJ is a bundle of contradictions and evasions. When someone pulls away one little card (efficacy of the Word, Means of Grace, the work of the Holy Spirit), the UOJ palace falls down.
Book salesman Paul McCain is now so hyper that he lets loose against me, very ad hominem, on Facebook and goodness knows where else.
McCain likes to warn people, but he and Otten agreed on one thing - neither one worked secretly with the other to get Al Barry elected. Both denied it publicly after bragging about it to me. That would make Paul McCain a ...
