Slide from the Ukraine - "Without WELS, the Word would not be as effective."
***
GJ - I was watching and thought, "I'll bet John Shep is going to phone me." A short time ago, John Shep phoned and said, "You probably thought I was going to phone you."
He had some questions for your evening discussion:
1. Is the ULC bishop still on the payroll of Lutheran Heritage, a Missouri RSO?
2. Does the bishop have a 6,000 square foot home?
3. If the ministers are without shoes and clothing, why are they wearing them in photos and vacationing in Italy?

Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Ukraine Heretic Speaking at WELS Convention":
The second and third questions seem to explain, "Without WELS, the Word would not be as effective"
The laity are getting a good shellacking during this convention! If WELS had a dollar for every compliment given to the incompetent Bible selection committee they'd be debt free - doctrinally broke mind you - but debt free.

GJ - The compliments were really the standard way of getting into criticism. One must start, hat-in-hand, pleading ignorance, speaking in a halting voice, and denying any possible negative inference from what is coming. The only one who did not do that was their lone supporter, who launched into his confused defense of the NNIV.
So the compliments were just a prelude to the real content. I heard voices cracking with emotion, although quietly expressed, which told me how enraged they were. Naumann was one example.
Two DPs spoke against adopting the NNIV now, which was the sole agenda item of the
By far, the strongest speech was DP Glaeske's "Slouching Toward Gomorrah" comparison. If examined closed, it was brutal, especially coming from a senior DP. He made the cultural comparison, that the NNIV was aimed our current culture, then moved to the book by Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork - Slouching Toward Gomorrah.
Babylon would be negative enough for WELS, but Sodom and Gomorrah represent the absolute pit of immorality in the Old and New Testaments. Look up the passages in your NIV, gentle readers.
DP Glaeske asked whether WELS wanted to go down that road and whether WELS would be stranded there. The sect made a grave mistake in adopting the NIV and persecuting/abandoning the KJV. Those who practice BOHICA get BOHICA in return. Billionaire Left Murdoch owns the NIV and calls the tune.
God's judgment will be measured out upon WELS in the coming years. Look at the sound theologians forgotten and excluded. Count up the crimes of the church workers against the members - often unpunished and glossed over. Read the putrid false doctrine being promoted at every teaching node of the sect.
