Katy Perry is known for her bawdiness and lack of talent.
Tim Glende's anonymous blog had a second post in the same month!
Many military battles have failed because the victorious army did not press its advantages and take the final steps to scatter the enemy. Treachery has also played a major role, where the actions of the leaders can only be explained by a bag of gold or future promises.
The Intrepids objected to the Jes/Ski joint ministry conference with ELCA and some LCMS Emergent Church bobble-heads. The Conference of Pussycats arched its back, mewed a little and did nothing, as Intrepid Lindee noted below. No one went to witness the conference, even though some were implored. Why risk anything, especially during Lent?
Mr. Douglas Lindee said...
For my part, I am willing to be patient for the time being. The letter that was sent by the CoP to the WELS pastors involved in the Change or Die conference initiated a process that cannot just be dropped -- especially with the bulk of concerned laity now watching. Of course, whether any "nose thumbing" has, in fact, occurred is dependant upon the terminology of the letter itself, which we know was not an "order" not to participate, but has been described as a "strong request." Further, if it was the "unanimous opinion" of the CoP that stood behind their strong request, well then, participation is still just a matter of opinion -- and we are free to differ in "matters of opinion", right? But it all depends on the terminology of the letter, of which we are, frankly, ignorant.
I say, let it lie, and let's see what happens over the next few weeks.

In a few weeks this will be old news, so bringing up Change and Die! with Holy Mother Synod will be hissed down as a sin. The brochure has already been erased from the Siebert Foundation websty. All the Changer children are tucked safely in their beds.
But Holy Mother WELS did take action!
- Church and Change is supposedly shutting down, although there is no sign of it on their websty - just more bragging and preening by Ron Ash.
- Church and Change anticipated this long ago, as I wrote, and started many different cancer nodes around the synod: Grace in Action, Jars of Clay, Women's Ministry, Prayer Warriors, Time of Generic Grace, and the only synod youth conference this year - led by Jes/Ski. Ski has R-rated church services, so that will boost attendance.
- WELS is "disciplining" Ash by giving him a synod-paid vacation in Europe, much like Gurgle's, and Robert Mueller's, and many others. He will be called a chaplain and brag about all the wonderful things he has done to help God out of a jam there.
- WELS already gave Glende a call, another part of their discipline process. This means he has official approval, so leave him alone. Sometimes the call is to a place like Calumet, which means they hate him. But Changers are always rewarded and protected in WELS. All the better to serve their Father Below.
- Anyone looking for leadership from SP Mark Schroeder should give up on that. He has continued the practices of Gurgle.
- The Intrepids are willing to trust the diaprax, the process.
