The women of the Concordia Deaconess Conference have had to fight every inch of their way for recognition, the previous admin virtually ignored them, in spite of all it's (sic) rhetoric about the service of women.

GJ - Someone on ALPB pointed out that McCain was saying the Barry administration ignored the CDC, since the new one under Harrison has not started. I noticed the freshman English error of turning its into it's.

Someone added - "Nice catch, Jim. It is always fun to catch Paul "Word Master" McCain like that - it doesn't happen often. Well played!"

That is funny, because they missed the Word Master on basic English. I have decided to change the English language the same way. From now on, his will be hi's. I like that - hi's, he'r, and it's.

Abolutely! (another McCainism). Bad punctuation, too - but worthy of absolution since he has to tend so many blogs and Facebook pages.

its to bad that people just belch out there thoughts without editting. (hint to gen Y and Z: the little red line under the word indicates your guilty of mispelling.) This seems like a good arguement that the addition of the internet (or all technology?) in contemporary life is a zero-sum game. Or maybe it's a testament to Newton's third law of Motion? (for every bit of knowledge the internet has made possible an equal amount of ignorance must also be propagated?)

GJ - That is funny, Bored. But for real comedy, check out the Church and Money Changers' website. They never fix their mistakes, doctrinal or spelling.

Looks like Jack was here early this morning.

GJ -

McCain does not know basic English:

"I think the final wake-up call will be when the ELCA has it's (sic) first homosexually active bishop and when his/her ministry is specifically rejected by a pastor or congregation, appealing to "bound conscience" and having that appeal firmly rejected by ELCA leadership."

Warning: The ALPB Internet Forum May Be Hazardous to Your Mental and Spiritual Health

600px-Warning_icon.svg
Some time back I recommended folks give the American Lutheran Publicity Bureau's online forum a try. I now need to withdraw that recommendation. The ALPB forum is very poorly moderated, and when the ELCA moderator actually ever does attempt to exercise some modicum of control, it is generally to slap wrists with a ruler for not being nice, which apparently in the ELCA is a sin far more serious than doctrinal heresy and moral bankruptcy. The forum has reached the point where it is no better than sites like LutherQuest. There are two very liberal ELCA pastors on the board who dominate every conversation to the point of destroying any possibility of reasonable conversation, one in particular is permitted by the site's moderators to question incessantly every major article of the Christian faith. It is a mess. It is actually a bit like watching a train wreck, it is so awful you can't take your eyes from it, but…you really should. I have, and feel much the better for it.

GJ - McCain must love trainwrecks. Now we know why his mental health is impaired. He cannot stop posting on ALPB.

Who pays him to natter all day long across the blogosphere?

And again - today:

"The Church will simply say no and bear whatever consequences there may be for confession of the truth, there woll (sic) be churches willing simply to bow the knee to Baal ."
