| The First VP of WELS attended Fuller Seminary and has been echoing their false doctrine ever since. WELS admires and plagiarizes the false prophets portrayed as a cloud of witnesses... to their Father Below. |
The Penn State debacle is unraveling fast. Their defensive coach, Jerry Sandusky, used his football connections and his own charity to prey upon young boys. The scandal began in 1998.
Quote from the LA Times: "If they would have done something about it in 1998, and then again in 2002 -- there was two chances, they dropped the ball and I think they should all be held accountable," said the mother of a boy referred to as Victim Six in a grand jury report released Saturday.
A mother said: She added: "I’m infuriated that people would not report something like that .... I still can’t believe it. I’m appalled. I’m shocked. I’m stunned .... They could have prevented this from happening."
The mother said university officials "tried to make my son and the other boy out to be liars."
Denomination officials use the same tactics as the Penn State University executives.
- Never address the real issue, especially when it involves criminal activity.
- Make up an excuse that changes the crime into a misunderstanding.
- Call the victims liars, insane, greedy for money.
- Fire anyone who dares to address the issue.
The Penn State Alma Mater
by Fred Lewis Pattee
For the glory of old State,
For her founders strong and great,
For the future that we wait,
Raise the song, raise the song.
Sing our love and loyalty,
Sing our hopes that, bright and free,
Rest, O Mother dear, with thee,
All with thee, all with thee.
(Softly)
When we stood at childhood's gate,
Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us, dear old State,
Dear old State, dear old State.
(Louder)
May no act of ours bring shame
To one heart that loves thy name,
May our lives but swell thy fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.
For her founders strong and great,
For the future that we wait,
Raise the song, raise the song.
Sing our love and loyalty,
Sing our hopes that, bright and free,
Rest, O Mother dear, with thee,
All with thee, all with thee.
(Softly)
When we stood at childhood's gate,
Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us, dear old State,
Dear old State, dear old State.
(Louder)
May no act of ours bring shame
To one heart that loves thy name,
May our lives but swell thy fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.

bruce-church (https://bruce-church.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "The Denomination as a Football Franchise":
The spontaneous student pep rally for Penn State's Joe Paterno outside his home, who ought to be doing a perp walk to jail right now, reminds me of the MLC students who took a bus to Arizona to support Al Just during the court hearings over his murdering his wife. It also reminds me of the automatic, unthinking MLC and WLC student support for the makers of a homoerotic video being shown at a pep rally, or whatever it was, at MLC. Then SP Schroeder even lied to Otten in defense of the students. That's like sinking the Titanic (WELS) in order to save a row boat (the morals-challenged students). When will the interests of the WELS and the Kingdom outweigh the interests of nepotism in the WELS? Probably never:

Police estimated there were about 300 people outside Paterno's home. Officers asked students to leave after Paterno addressed the crowd a second time.

GJ - College students are not very discerning. They will support someone who appears to be the underdog at the moment. Would they share office space with a known child rapist? Paterno did until last week.
When someone thinks his job is threatened, excuses abound.
