What, you don't believe it was a terrible steak knife accident in bed? I didn't believe it thirty years ago, and I believe a jury didn't either!
Pray the small ground swell of the WELS may grow larger and sweep out the false teachers and money changers. Then we can get back to the work of preaching the Word instead of building buildings and programs.
Pastor Jackson, keep up the good work.

GJ - Scott is referring to Al Just's defense, that his late wife rolled over a steak knife in bed, inflicting dozens of wounds, in her sleep.
First VP Jim Huebner's father came to Phoenix to help defend good ol' Al. So did a busload or two of brain-washed WELS members. I wonder if God curses those institutions which deceive people about adultery and murder. Mary Lou College is perishing from a lack of repentance and shameless false teaching.
A jury of his peers convicted Al Just of murder, but he got out of the hoosegow in a few years. While in prison he married his children's baby-sitter, who subsequently divorced him. He claimed innocence and some clergy still beat the drums about his persecution - but he did confess all to someone. That gets forgotten.
Al Just taught at the Arizona Lutheran Academy of WELS, where CrossWalk meets.
Another WELS worker who went to the Big House was DP Ed Werner, for assaulting minor girls in his own congregation.
Did you read about them or the imprisoned vicar in NWL/FIC? No, the magazine is reserved for rave reviews of Shrinker experiments, which look alarmingly like Babtist New Age clones.
You will never read about their colossal Shrinker failures, the millions wasted, the members alienated, and the clergy leaving for Pentecostalism and atheism.
I would love to see a budget printed up for The CORE, and notes from meetings about how that disaster was hatched under the watchful eye of Deputy Doug Englebrecht.
Does God bless church workers who deceive people about their confession of faith? The Shrinkers pretend to be Babtists to the Babtists and Lutheran to the Lutherans, so they grovel in their deceit toward both sides at once.
Has WELS benefited from lying about the two murders committed by their own church workers? Did Team Mischke explain to the members of Salem, Milwaukee that WELS knew from the beginning that Tabor had wanderlust in the LCR and was known for adding an extra baby to his own congregation, through birth and baptismal regeneration. That was all known before WELS gave Tabor a mission congregation to start with members he took out of Scriptural, Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I have been there, too.
I know from many sources that WELS knew all about Tabor before they inflicted him on their unsuspecting members. And they called him to Milwaukee after his mission disaster in Cape, which closed soon after. But they also moved him to Escanaba after the murder of his wife. Three divine calls were given to a man who entered WELS racing ahead of shotguns, pitchforks, and other weapons.
Did they learn anything from Tabor? No. They inflicted Floyd Luther Stolzenburg on Columbus, lying to everyone again.
Did Jay Webber learn anything from being at Scriptural, his first call? Apparently not, because he was willing to work with Shrinkers Kovaciny and Stolzenburg to raise money in the Ukraine. Floyd had a Scriptural divorce, he claimed. WELS workers echoed his lie. Do you see the irony? Jay Webber, from Scriptural Lutheran Church, worked with a man who falsely claimed a Scriptural divorce. Tabor's Scriptural divorce was instant and inexpensive.
I imagine Pope John the Malefactor said about Webber, "That's the kind of man we need on the ELS doctrinal committee, someone who can take a stand and abandon it with dexterity."
