The lifespan of an independent WELS website is rather short. Issues in WELS stopped and removed all the files.
Bailing Water went through three editors, I think, and got cut off from information.
Even poor Fake-O-Bod has stopped publishing several times, erasing his nasty files and disgusting photoshops. Now that everyone knows he is Tim Glende, the thrill of posting scatological pictures and exposing his doctrinal ignorance is gone. Maybe Uncle Brug said to him, "I cannot believe we let you graduate from Mequon."
I knew it was a WELS reader, writing, when I got this comment - "Do you have proof they are trying to shut down the Intrepds" A typical WELS response is:
1. Question whether there is proof.
2. Change the subject when proof is offered.
The Wisconsin sect thinks unity is achieved by lying and suppression of the truth. Why tell the truth about false teachers, murderers, and church leaders lodged in the Big House? The members like being ignorant, so leave them alone.
Or, look at it this way. Ex-SP Gurgle was claiming that Church and Change was closed down while Church and Change was registering people for their next conference from the WELS.net website.
Church and Change leaders have been setting the agenda since 1977. They run the colleges, seminary, and FICKLE. They have elected DPs like Englebrecht and re-elected them.
The Gang of Four (State of Wisconsin DPs plus the one representing the People's Republic of Minnesota) can be counted upon to block anything hinting of Lutheran doctrine.
Can anyone imagine the roaring that went on when the Intrepids opened up the topic of UOJ?
The Doctrinal Pussycats are spineless when dealing with false doctrine, but they suit and grab their weapons when that false doctrine is threatened.
UOJ turns people into Antinomians - good is bad, bad is good, deception rules.

Gee doctor, I asked for proof because I was curious for info, not because I was suggesting you were blowing smoke. Perhaps you are so quick to suspicion because you've been been the target for people's wrath for a while now.
In no case could what I wrote be construed to be a "oh yeah buddy?? Prove it" sort of challenge. My kin just come from the state of Missouri, that's all.
It's OK, Bored. I just used your statement as a springboard for another irenic post, trying to calm the troubled waters of WELS.
Does anyone remember the jingle WELS wrote. "Come to the WELS where the living water floweth?"
Or the WELS rap?
That brought them in by the thousands.
My short answer is - I could prove it but I choose to remain silent.
okay, gotcha. A good reporter never reveals his sources, I suppose.
WELS rap? Please tell me that was a joke.
Not a joke. Barber played it. He was a Madison Ave ad guy.
Clearly the election of SP Schroeder has not changed anything within the WELS. Scriptures tell us that the only unforgiveable sin is that of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. False doctrine, schmoozing up to enthusiasts, covering up clergy bad behavior are all tolerated. The only unforgiveable sin in the WELS is dissent. Specifically, not carrying water for the Holy, Mother Synod.
The Gang of Four (State of Wisconsin DPs plus the one representing the People's Republic of Minnesota) can be counted upon to block anything hinting of Lutheran doctrine.
This raises the question of exactly what does the WELS stand for. Even their apologists appear devoid of genuine understanding.
