UOJ Study Would Threaten the Rat Temple


Sure, you do not like this boy sharing milk
with the rats at the Rat Temple in India.
Kokomo is no better. Y'all are just used to it.



rlschultz has left a new comment on your post "Building Better Prisons":

If there were a serious study of UOJ within the WELS, the results may be disastrous for some. The Enthusiasm that is so rampant in the WELS may fall like a house of cards. There may be a lot of Fiefdoms that could topple. False teachers given the left foot of fellowship would strike terror in the hearts of those who cannot cope with earning an honest living.

GJ - UOJ is also a good way to maintain the priesthood. One must be initiated into the mysteries of UOJ and GA to keep the sheep sheepish.

UOJ allows for any doctrine and any behavior. It is the Pietistic version of Mormonism, ideal for dominating and destroying lives.

The WELS UOJ hero is J. P. Meyer, who taught a version of Decision Theology. NPH printed it in his Ministers of Christ.

Once people are taught unquestioning obedience to the power structure, anything can happen.

The Wisconsin Sect is just a version of the Church of Rome.

Pr. GJ,

The Wisconsin Sect is just a version of the Church of Rome.

This is what Richard Neuhaus deduced for the case of Missouri, that is why he went to Rome. He must have deduced, if his Synod was going to act like Rome anyway, why not go for the real McKoy. So he became a Roman priest.

*** GJ - You are right, Dr. Cruz. I used to correspond with Neuhaus, when he was still in the LCA. James Crumley, as LCA Bishop, curled up in the pope's lap. He sent a color booklet to each LCA pastor, copies of his correspondence with the Antichrist, photos of his face-time with the Holy Father! Yet, at Ad Fontes, Crumley seemed disturbed as he talked privately to Neuhaus. Crumley sat with me and Mrs. Ichabod at lunch, revealing at once that he knew I had joined WELS. Neuhaus joined Rome soon after.

Neuhaus found the Church of Rome inviting while his liberal pals in the LCA kept pounding him for turning conservative. Those labels are so twisted and confused that I will not even begin to unravel them.

Neuhaus went from Viet Nam radical to becoming a critic of the World Council of Churches. He was pro-life and against women's ordination. All those positions meant he did not belong in the LCA or ELCA. Rome honored him at once and the Antichrist had lunch with him.

I may rewrite my essay on Roman Catholic doctrines taught by Lutherans. Neuhaus correctly saw that Missouri was a bad imitation of Rome.

Lutherans should expect a significant increase of their clergy joining Rome or Eastern Orthodoxy. If my intuition is correct, the numbers and names will be shocking - to everyone except me.
