into a pit.
The Not Exactly Intrepid Lutherans are already managing the news, synod style. That is because their leaders saw their blog as a marketing tool to support SP Schroeder. Previously, Rydecki was complaining about The SORE instead of opposing justification by faith. I could tell they were obeying orders as soon as they dared question the idiotic sermon from The Guilt Factory (formerly The Love Shack). Rydecki doubted unbelievers were declared innocent by God, so The Guilt Factory stepped up to reverse their course.
The comments at their IL blog are managed and squashed, as people have already noticed. Their blog is not a forum for discussing doctrinal issues, but a misfiring propaganda tool.
I knew that Floyd Luther Stolzenburg's former employee, Jay Webber, was itching to be featured there when when one of his pen-pals began interceding with me about Webber's disgusting career at Thoughts of Faith. Pistol-packin' Professor Kovaciny had to have his say, too. Kovo was the ELS bagman at Stolzenburg's church, where Floyd pledged in advance to commune Masonic Lodge members. Everyone is forgiven, so why bother with doctrine?
Jay Webber advocated communing ELCA members for similar reasons. I wonder if he will post on IL about his apostate communion policy. Even the LCMS, which would not ordain Jay, was more disciplined about Holy Communion policy. I am not sure why UO Jays commune anyone. They are already forgiven.
Once Joe Krohn began publishing his comments on IL about the obvious gaping holes in UOJ, the comments were quashed. I have linked his blog, and it will stay linked.
Joe Krohn just wrote for publication:
LutherRocks has left a new comment on your post "Jay Webber's Colleague Roger Kovaciny Reminds Ever...":
If a former proponent of deformed rock and roll church can turn from error, they too can correct their errors. It's called manning up.
Its been a struggle for me since the day my pastor told me that he felt our band was affecting the growth of our church. And the struggle is probably just beginning since I am still a member of WELS and the outlook for confessional change is dim. But with God all things are possible. Kudos to all of you who hang out around these parts and remain true to God's word and are willing to publicly proclaim it.

I suspect comments favorable to the Book of Concord are not only blocked but erased by IL dungeon masters. I am not sure about them kilcreased, because I would have to spend time comparing and remembering. Others can report here if and when they see that happening.
Otten has boasted of his open forum in Christian News, but he spikes stories and letters which challenge his peculiar views (including his love for UOJ).
The synods think they can manage the news and get their story to dominate everyone's thinking. Everyone can see their publications are freeze-dried, shrink-wrapped PR pieces.
The Ichabod readers know they can get their comments published here. I even post the vindictive rants of Paul T. McCain, Otten's former spin-doctor, when I find them elsewhere. That is almost like having a free clipping service. Does he thank me? No. His "time out" on the ALPB Online Forum has been one of the most read posts in the last few months. He left the ALPB Forum before, claiming it endangered his mental health.
Doctrine is our only light. There is a relationship between ordinary facts and a love for pure doctrine. Trusting the Word of God means that the facts do not have to be managed, spun, quashed and sorted for the hoi polloi (the masses).
When people do not trust the truth about the most ordinary events, I suspect they do not trust the Word of God. They may still have a sentimental attachment to the Scriptures, but they really trust in their own cleverness rather than God's wisdom.
