I enjoy looking around the Net, observing the vast gulf between the posture of blogs and the substance.
Most of the blogs copy and congratulate one another, linking one another. They link the safe URLs, nothing outrageous. They stay safe and avoid the real issues, but they are confessional in their own minds and boring.
They prove to me that nothing will change for the better, only for the worse. Too many people complain softly and quietly about conditions but let outrageous doctrine be taught day after day.
What is the last straw? When inept DMB Chairman Fred Adrian began talking, I got up and left the room. DP John Seifert liked his work so much that Ready Freddy got another call.
Copying Groeschel is outrageous on several levels. First is the dishonesty and fraud involved. Second is the stupidity of copying a pathetic circus-clown. The only outrage expressed is blogging against it. Doug the Unready was outraged by Ichabod, nothing else, because "a lot of pastors copy sermons."
Thirty years ago, no one was outraged that their confessional Lutheran leaders were being trained at Fuller Seminary and bragging about it, Willow Creek and sending more pastors to be trained there free. But when I quoted them, 20+ years ago, from their own syphilitic publications, they were outraged. Everyone was outraged. The cowardly leaders of today encouraged me anonymously to continue, as long as they were not involved.
They fed me documents and said nothing.
They told me where to find more evidence and never backed up what I published. Never. Not even with an anonymous letter in their favorite tabloid. Not once. Afraid the WELS KGB would trace the DNA on the postage stamp on the letter that was never sent?
CP John Seifert encouraged me to put DP Robert Mueller on trial, but flipped to Mueller's side when convenient and ran for DP as a conservative replacement!
The WELS leaders say, inspired by the Holy Spirit, "Send a letter." I sent three registered letters to two WELS pastors and Synod President Mark Schroeder. All three signed for the letters. Not one of them answered by mail, email, or phone.
In ten years the Lutherans will look around at the ruins and ask how things got so outrageously bad. They do not care to look at themselves as the cause. Doubtless they will find a scapegoat to blame.
