Perhaps you think your blog is your "right" and perhaps you think you are providing a service.... but this entire website is nothing more than a vehicle for you to break the 8th commandment and your weak excuses to justify it. The Apostle James says, “Brothers, do not slander one another… don’t speak against your brother or judge him… who are you to judge your neighbor?” Slander is what happens when we speak without love or knowledge… we judge others and we end up slandering them. Your website is dedicated to "speaking without love". You may not be spreading gossip but you are not using your words in the kindest possible way. You may not be telling lies but you are using your words for the sole purpose of hurting someone else. You are only looking for opportunities to do harm and not build up and encourage. You are not helping the God' (sic) kingdom come... you are attempting to prevent it from doing so. Please use your website to spread the gospel… not as a tool to broadcast whatever ill feelings you hold for the WELS or anyone else.

GJ - I publish one to three sermons a week, often one by Luther himself. You can always read the Bethany Lutheran Worship site, which is only for sermons and quotations.
Few if any sites have so many quotations from various sources, from UOJ to the post-Concord orthodox. There is much to gain from comparing false doctrine to sound doctrine.
Many laity offer their insights. Church leaders should pay attention to them. One post is equal to 10, in the field of journalism. The 15,000 comments posted so far--mostly positive--suggest a different reading of this blog.
Joel Hochmuth is 52, an example of pathetic, incompetent, destructive pastoral care in WELS. Several people knew of his problems, which must be long-standing, given the syndrome. He was not contrite until he was caught by the FBI.
According to the UOJ leaders who run the synod, Hochmuth was forgiven before he was born. That blind antinomianism is the fuel behind so many scandals.

glc7610 provides the definition, "Slander is what happens when we speak without love or knowledge...we judge others and we end up slandering them."
But then she goes on to share her judgement of this blog, "speaking without love", "you are not using your words in the kindest possible way", You are only looking for opportunities to do harm", "you are not helping God'(s) kingdom come", "you are attempting to prevent it (God's kingdom come)".
Who's judging?

GJ - Brett, this is most likely Poor Tim Glende from Appleton, so you may be using the right pronoun. He fights like a girl. No wait - WELS Church is a girl who fights like a man and uses her own name. WELS is quite confusing that way.
Poor Tim just has to post every so often. He sends the same old things, year after year, almost verbatim, always hiding his identity, always changing the ID, which just happens to be from the current month each time.
Long ago, in another controversy, some women said, "If the bishops are going to act like women, then the women will have to act like bishops."
The leaders and pastors of WELS have abrogated their responsibility, choosing to live like fattened capons on the harvest of the faithful.
