Michael Schottey has left a new comment on your post "Guess Who Is Working with the New Jeske-Patterson ...":
Look, I'm all for "guilt by association" and questioning why these links would be included. However, it is a little dishonest to not include the disclaimer RIGHT above the the links.
--------
At Pilgrim we believe Christians need to be informed about news and trends in the world of religion and the world at large. The fact that we've included these links on our page should not be taken to mean that we agree with or condone the ideas and opinions you may see on these sites.
-------
Now, does that "make up for" the fact that schwaemer links permeate the list? No....
But not including it really makes the post look like a sham.

GJ - Not so fast, Michael. I reproduced the list before, with the disclaimer. I believe the disclaimer emphasizes the dishonesty of the staff, the congregation, and WELS. I was sparing the poor deluded fellow who runs this congregation. Since I provide links with my information, anyone can check out the material in context and look over all the pages.
The Wisconsin Sect has been promoting this style of deception for a long time. Gaze upon the photos of all the false teachers portrayed above. I took a long time selecting so many faces, so many denominations, so many false teachers, getting them into one coherent gang. These men are the heroes of WELS. They were and still are, as revealed by my latest posts.
These heroes have been promoted by WELS with the warning - "while we are not in fellowship with..." - but making it clear that true spiritual wisdom comes from their lupine fangs. Picture Valleskey gushing about "spoiling the Egyptians" from Fuller Seminary, where he studied, not to mention the Schwaermer books he recommended to all of WELS in FICKLE (nee NWL).
And they made Valleskey president of the Sausage Factory for this great service to confessional Lutheranism.
Swimming with Schwaermer will yield mush like this:
"Intellectual knowledge is great, but Christianity is really a relationship with Jesus. Sure, we pass along biblical truth by passing along facts. We want children to know the name of Ruth’s mother-in-law, and the books of the Bible in order. Some children do very well remembering those facts, others don’t. Are the quick ones somehow better off spiritually than the slow ones? Of course not! Jesus loves them all. He gave himself for all of us, no matter our age or test scores."
Wait three seconds and some WELS pastor will say, "This c-a-n be understood correctly." The word c-a-n should be stretched out to display the brilliance of the speaker as he ponders a translation into Lutheranese.
This is another real, relational, relevant church.
