Your crude Photoshoped images make me laugh! :)

That's the idea.

This was not mine. I distribute many graphics from various creative types, and I do a few of my own.

Don't you think that is a bit too harsh?

Why would that be a bit harsh? Ellen G. White and Joseph Smith committed plagiarism to separate their sects from mainstream Christianity, and everyone calls them on it, so why not relate how Walther separated the Synodical Conference from the rest of Lutheranism in large part by plagiarizing UOJ from Knapp?

Maybe James Bond was in the Walther League. His favorite pistol was the Walther PPK, which stands for Preacher's Preacher's Kid:

Walther PPK

* The Walther PPK was manufactured in 6.35mm auto (.25 ACP), 7.65x17mm (.32 ACP) Auto or 9x17mm (.380 ACP).

...it is the most famous as well as being the weapon of choice for fictional British Intelligence (MI-6) officer 007 James Bond.

More Kelming by Walther?:

C.F.W. (Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm) Walther (1811-1887) Papers, c.1828-1887.

http://chi.lcms.org/collections/fa/m-0004.htm

excerpt: About 0.6 linear feet of sermons not in Walther's hand were found interfiled with Walther's sermons. Many of them appear to be in Wilhelm Sihler's handwriting. The "Sihler Sermons" have been separated from the Walther sermons, as have the other sermons not in Walther's handwriting. As they are better identified, they will be removed to the appropriate collections.

Other unrelated writings were found among the sermons. They have been filed under miscellaneous writings.
