ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Build It and They--The Tetzels--Will Come
rlschultz has left a new comment on your post "The Lutheran Clergy Have Lost the Gospel":
At least Lenin was more honest when he called yes-men "useful idiots". There is a masonry evangelism program at a WELS congregation that I am very familiar with. Even before the expansion was put into place, the yes-men and yes-women were sought out and placed into positions as facilitators for the congregational forums. The whole process was well scripted.
The yes folks were convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that a multi-million dollar expansion was needed to save souls. This allowed the puppet masters to pull the heart strings and also to instill guilt into those who opposed expansion. The CG promoters were insulated from accountability. Even when Cornerstone Ministries was brought in to fleece the members, few members could see the man behind the curtain. Stealth plans are often needed to hide the rotten fruit of apostasy.

GJ - The pastor retaliated against the Schutz family by refusing to let their son be a student in the school. However, no one even asked the teacher about the situation.
