I checked in again recently over at Ickybog, Greg Jackson's ranting forum.

The guy who runs a congregation out of a bedroom in his house, consecrating elements over the Internet for his little cult really can't handle any kind of criticism. Which is ironic since he is consumed by hate and anger and blasts everyone/anyone in a manner that, frankly, would quality him for some kind of mental health ward.

But it makes for some really entertaining reading.

He makes LutherQueasy look positively docile.

GJ - If Paul obtained a humor transplant from an actuary, it would still be an improvement. Or he could consider what Missouri's Francis Pieper wrote:

"Let us learn more and more to look upon the Lutheran Church with the right kind of spiritual eyes: it is the most beautiful and glorious Church; for it is adorned with God's pure Word. This adornment is so precious, that even though an orthodox congregation were to consist of very poor people - let us say nothing but woodchoppers - and met in a barn (as the Lord Christ also lay here on earth in a barn, on hay and straw), every Christian should much, much rather prefer to affiliate himself with this outwardly so insignificant congregation, rather than with a heterodox congregation, even if its members were all bank presidents and assembled in a church built of pure marble. Let us be sure that our flesh, and the talk of others does not darken the glory of the orthodox Church, or crowd it out of our sight."
Francis Pieper, The Difference between Orthodox and Heterodox Churches, and Supplement, Coos Bay, Oregon: St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 1981, p. 47.
