Are you glad this happened? Do you take pleasure that a WELS pastor made a fatal error? Is his death just another "thing" to you that makes you feel superior to the WELS? If not, why else would you highlight the detail that he ran a red light?
You, sir, are despicable.

GJ - Everything above is from the Internet. I supposed the news sources are despicable because they reported what the police told them. The police are despicable because they investigated the accident. They should over up the facts to make Holy Mother WELS look perfect.
I believe people should consider auto accidents and think about how they can drive more safely. I recall how the news sources said 1,000 soldiers died in Iraq after several years of fighting. I pointed out to my college classes that we lost that many each year in Arizona, from car crashes.
The red light was highlighted merely because the other reports did not give a cause and people speed read through posts.
Looking for motivation in a verbatim report is rather Eighth Commandish.

I do have sympathy for the family. It is a great tragedy. I don't think I was "hyperanalyzing" Greg's post. He had no words of sympathy for the family, either. Given his attitude toward the WELS, I don't think I was out of line suggesting that he felt a little superior when he read the article, especially (as noted before) since he highlighted the cause of the accident without a word of sympathy for the family.
Wake up, Jackson lackeys! He is a bitter, bitter man.

GJ - Pardon me if this new comment reminds me so much of WELS Pastor Tim Glende. This anonymous (no profile) Samuel Thrace has no words of sympathy for the family, only condemnation of a simple, factual post. His two pathetic posts so far are full of rancor and bitterness. The trouble is - it could one of many WELS pastors. They are thin-skinned but eager to condemn. But - not all of them are like Glende. If they were, WELS would be even worse off than it is now.
I know a lot of people read this blog, so I posted the information as a favor to those who follow these things. For Moliners I also post obituaries and death notices on that blog and FB page. I spent some time looking for an obituary for Pastor Voss. So far it has not appeared.

I find your highlighting of the red light incredibly disturbing and extremely disrespectful. This post is the first time I've seen your blog. (I googled Verne Voss and your blog came up...I'm sure that makes you happy.) It's obvious I don't need to look any further through it. You're a sad man. So sad. Thankfully, Pastor and Kathy won't ever read your heartless copy and paste...and therefore they won't see that you said nothing about them losing their lives and, more importantly, gaining their crown of glory. You are just sad.

GJ - Another anonymous just found the blog post! How they do crop up and how they all read the same. But they are filled with love and concern...and more WELSian name-calling. They are good at that.
Making information known is "heartless"?
When two MLC students died in another auto crash, I copied what was available, so people could find out for themselves. I did not know them either, but I heard that many appreciated having a place to go for the information.
If you think this makes WELS look good, to send such immature comments anonymously, you must have studied at Mequon.
Anyone who thinks that others rejoice in a car accident is a sick person.
