"I'll be baack", said the Terminator in the movie. My fear is that Church and Change will be back with the same old garbage under a new name.
I also fear they have disbanded because they believe their work is done. They've gotten a portion of the WELS to believe popcorn and Pepsi are just fine for a worship atmosphere. Now they believe they can move on to other things.

GJ - They got their hinies spanked, but good. Still, there is no repentance. If the money were shut off, they would be howling.
As long as false doctrine is not addressed in Missouri, WELS, or the Little Sect, nothing significant will happen.
Team Jackson was laughing about the contrast between the limited nastiness of corporate life, where there are rules and consequences, and the unlimited nastiness of the Olde Syn Conference.
One big loss in WELS is the passing of the fighting generation - men like Corky and Slick. They would talk to false teachers to their faces, not mincing words. Corky told the downtown Milwaukee pastors (who are all WELS leaders today) that they were "adulterers and false prophets."
When Slick showed up at The Guilt Factory, Ron Roth hid behind a divider, pretending to be gone. Slick said, "If he is not here, why are Ron Roth's feet behind that divider?" He loved telling that story. I did not know Corky, but Slick had a heart of gold.
The Shrinkers hated Slick and Corky. More on that later.
