The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod recently purchased the 32,000-square-foot office building at N16 W23377 Stone Ridge Dr. in Pewaukee, from Bielinski Homes for $2.85 million.

The sale price is significantly lower than the assessed value for the property of $4.2 million, according to Waukesha County records.

A representatives for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod could not be reached for comment.
Bielinski plans to move its headquarters another location in Pewaukee, said Paul Bielinski, chief operating officer of Bielinski Homes.

"(The new location) will give us a better street presence," he said. "We found a new location that better suits our needs today."

RFP Commercial brokers Bob Flood and Scott Revolinski represented Bielinski Homes in brokering the transaction.

Bielinski Homes is the only tenant in the building and currently occupies about half of the building, said Jenna Johnson, marketing coordinator for RFP Commercial.

Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod’s offices are currently located at 2929 N. Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa.

Bielinski Homes and other home builders have been adversely affected by the downturn in the housing market. Last year housing starts were down 71.3 percent from the market’s peak in 2004.

The Vatican!

Who can take a scandal, spin it into dew,
Cover it with falsehoods and a miracle or two?
The Vatican, oh the Vatican can!
The Vatican can 'cause they mix it up with love and make  the lies taste good.

Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream,
Cover up the sorrow and skim off all the cream?
The Vatican, oh the Vatican can.
The Vatican can 'cause they mix it up with love and make  the lies taste good.
(Apologies to "The Candyman Can.")

Readers Respond to District VP Don Patterson Getting Rid of Justification by Faith

The only Justification in the 6-1/2 pages from the group of so-called Evangelical Lutherans from Holy Word is a justification of the doctrine they teach. That doctrine is not Lutheran, has little or no Evangel, and no good news for the Krohns.

Admittedly, we might say it the clearest and most detailed explication of that false doctrine we have ever read. It is so plainly put that the errors stand out like a sore thumb.

No sore thumb is the Krohn reply. It, too, is clear and well detailed; an accurate treatment of what Lutheran doctrine is, even drawn from the marginal texts of the NIV. The leadership of Holy Word has had its preaching and teaching correctly judged. Instead of getting their backs up, those leaders should let go of the doctrines they have studied and study the doctrine of the Scriptures as properly taught in the Book of Concord.

An embarrassment in the situation is the fact that current and former high echelon leadership in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod is key to the presentation of false doctrine.

The Krohns are not alone. Many WELS members have been treated in similar fashion though not so publicly. Others have just departed unnoticed. As the Scriptures point out, these situations exist to make manifest that which is correct.

Blessings, prayers, and thank-yous to and for the Krohns and all who have borne the cross while pointing out the errors or simply understanding them as such.

Fake Ichabod purported this same nonsense about the reformers always claiming two causes of justification (grace of God and merits of Christ). That is just not true. The Formula of Concord states:
25] For not everything that belongs to conversion belongs likewise to the article of justification, in and to which belong and are necessary only the grace of God, the merit of Christ, and faith, which receives this in the promise of the Gospel, whereby the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us, whence we receive and have forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, sonship, and heirship of eternal life.
26] Therefore true, saving faith is not in those who are without contrition and sorrow, and have a wicked purpose to remain and persevere in sins; but true contrition precedes, and genuine faith is in or with true repentance [justifying faith is in those who repent truly, not feignedly].

They are taking a list of 3 and reducing it to 2. That is either deceptive or poor scholarship or both.

(I made the same comment on fake ichabod. They never posted it or answered it.)

Arguing with UOJ'ers is utterly predictable. One can expect replies rife with imprecise, vague, and ambiguous terminology, commingling of theological truths (redemption, atonement, justification), non-refutation of the Calov and also R. Preus quotes--it's all there, every time. Wow, what a hasty process at HW! A quick purge from the system and jettisoned.

Joe,

I am nauseated by this travesty - I am also sickened by the erroneous differentiation these so-called leaders make between "Excommunication" and what they are doing to you. In fact, they *are* accusing you of unrepentant sin (i.e. maintaining false doctrine), and are prohibiting you from receiving the Blessed Sacrament in their fellowship (moreover, in our synodical fellowship). Despite what they call it, they *are* Excommunicating you.

In any event, I am behind you and your family. I am curious - are you allowed to attend the voter's meeting? Since you haven't been Excommunicated yet, I don't see how they could bar you from it. Moreover, do you intend to state your case with your fellow congregants? Your leadership may be off the deep-end, but are the sheep off the cliff with their "Shepherds" yet?

You and your family are in my prayers.
