Doctrinal Morons Sell the Fuller Seminary Toxins -
For a Hefty Fee

While Fuller provides misguided education, it took lame-brained pastors with their political shenanigans to soak it up and peddle it to their flocks.

GJ - I contend that the Enthusiasm of the Syn Conference prepared the leaders to receive the nonsense of Fuller Seminary with joy and approbation. These leaders got synodical offering money and Thrivent grants to pay for even more education, until the Syn Conference became a super-saturated solution of apostasy.

WELS does not have the doctrinal spine to shut down Church and Change or to mark and avoid Jeske. The faux-Lutheran New Ager straddles two weak synods at once, a Colossus of Toads, far more eager to share his ego than we are to partake thereof.

Jeske's Church and Change operation is the management of WELS. When the Wisconsin sect needed a new president for their tiny Asian seminary, a founder of Church and Change took over from another Changer (Witte from Lawrenz).

The expensive but seldom read FICL is a Church and Change newsletter, printed at synod expense.

Mideast dictators, Rev. Jeske and C&C are all shaking in their boots this week. The apostasy in the WELS may finally be defunded by Republicans in Wisconsin, and shortly, in other states.

Jeske's school is premised on the idea that it's giving a quality education at cut rate pricing that public schools can't provide. However, as soon as the state can provide it, courts have ruled that the state must pull funding to private educational entities.

If the teachers union loses its collective bargaining rights, quality education at more reasonable prices will follow, and then the state will pull the plug on St. Marcus school, and also on 4th grade kindergartens and daycare centers run out of churches and parochial schools. These are all "marks of the C&C churches" since they are into grants more than anyone else.
