Incompetent leaders ran St. Matthew into the ground. WELS has very few competent leaders.

GJ - Meanwhile, The CORE and St. Peter Freedom disguise sheep-stealing from brother pastors as "reaching out to the lost." That is what Tim Glende learned from Floyd Luther Stolzenburg, Church Growth expert for the Columbus circuit, WELS.
St. Matthew's Church and Change:
1. The school was closed to hire a second Shrinker pastor, in addition to the Shrinker pastor and Shrinker staff minister (Larry Oh's program at Mary Lou College).
2. The congregation has been losing ground every since it adopted the WELS CGM program.
3. Many have escaped to Riverview.

How much longer will WELS continue to self-destruct?
WELS will continue to self-destruct until their leaders with a contrite heart seek forgiveness from God for all their wicked ways. Assuming they will study their bibles, they will learn that the work of the Lord is much more than a poorly run business placed on the backs of believers.

Greg,
Not that it matters all that much, but Monkey Joe's is very much alive and well. My wife and I think that the property in question might be the former Springz building. It was an indoor family amusement center that featured go carts, mini bowling, rock climbing, arcade games, and a restaurant. It did, indeed, go belly up after it had been open for only about four months a few years ago. Someone I know actually worked there.
I recently discovered your blog and would love to post, but cannot figure out open I.D.

GJ - Can someone offer EZ directions for Open ID? I know one way is to have a blog and use that ID.
