ELCA Congregational Newsletter Shows Disintegration

Liberty is the natural product of God's Creation.

This ELCA congregation in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, tried to leave ELCA but fell short a few votes.

The newsletter shows that the congregation's members and staff are breaking up over the failed vote. In many cases, a failed vote has meant a new congregation forming almost immediately.

Even ELCA calls those votes to leave the synod "successful." Sometimes the bishops have to be honest, if only for a moment.

This congregation gives about $6,000 per week in offerings and has a very large staff.

ELCA takes every opportunity to divide and conquer. Notice that the required 66% vote is difficult to obtain on almost any serious matter. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to see congregations finally moving against the Lavender juggernaut.

ELCA began by saying, "Only a few are leaving." That was true for a month or two. The exodus gathered momentum. Now ELCA is going to be especially thuggish, which will only push congregations out faster and more effectively.

Thanks to blogs, Twitter, and email, Lutherans are no longer slaves to the lying. spineless church executives. ELCA is so bad that six bishops have jumped ship. Even slowly warmed frogs in the kettle will ask, "What's cooking?"

The Frog in the Kettle is Fuller Seminary's text on introducing change slowly, until the frog is boiled and dead. WELS loves the book, having cooked many congregations to death with it. Look at their hero, Change and Change Founder James Aderman (FICL editor, too).
Some frogs wake up and jump.

Aderman suggests kissing a lot of frogs,
apparently mistaking the origin of the name Wartburg.
