WELS Hydra


rlschultz has left a new comment on your post "Proof That Doing the Same Thing Over, and Expectin...":

The CG methods in the WELS have morphed into the mythical hydra. If you cut off one head, two grow in its place. The lack of pastoral care to long time members is good evidence that the congregation has gone to the dark side.

Mr Meyer, you are correct that the laity eat this rat poison as quick as they can. This outreach thing is another head of the hydra. If you oppose it, then you do not care about saving souls. As mentioned in a previous post, it is now called community outreach. What it amounts to is having some sort of how-to series that has to do with life enhancement. Any civic organization could be doing that, and probably do a better job at it. But, the theory is that the community is unaware of the congregation, even though many may drive by it every day. They are so afraid of proclaiming the Gospel, that they have resorted to more gimmickry.

My apologies, Pastor Jackson. Now that you have posted a photo of the WELS CG hydra, my faulty memory recalls that you may have originally come up with this idea. I think that I Kelmed it from you.

I am glad you chose a metaphor that matched my graphic. That took a lot of Photoshop layers. I know that 29A always looks for the sausages, so I had to fit them in, too.

Money is the root of evil in religion, too.
