A few posts ago I had fun with WELS posting a list of the Synodical Council Nenbers (sic). I noticed the spelling mistake a long time ago, but never said anything.
I finally pointed it out.
I wondered if they would react to my chuckle about this error, since "no one reads Ichabod." I looked it up and the link was gone.
My next question was - "Is the link gone and the page missing, or did they just remove the link so people would not look it up and laugh at their spelling?"
I found the original link in my post, which I preserve with the content, whenever possible. I learned from Ski that the WELSian sneaks will take down the link while leaving the material posted. If you search for churchfromscratch.net, you will get Doebler's copy and paste congregation, which uses another URL but still links from the Church and Change URL. Somebody pays for that domain.
Here is the Synodical Council Nenbers list.
In conclusion, the WELS nenbers pay their synod leaders millions of dollars in overhead costs so the Conference of Pussycats can ponder the future far, far way - in sunshine, on the beaches, sipping some hard liquor. Meanwhile, they are too lazy to fix their spelling mistakes on their own website. That would have meant editing the PDF file and uploading the corrected file, about five minutes work. Instead, they erased the linking words, about 10 seconds work. Look at what they spend on "technology" each year.
Yes, they are reaching out with the Gospel, using Other People's Money to feed and water their paunches.
