| The Little Sect on the Prairie also likes to turn a Gospel admonition into law - "Go manufacture disciples!" rather than "Go, teach all nations." |
The New NIV has already been approved by WELS. The franchise is simply waiting a bit to squash all opposition.
The next step is the January exercise in process (diaprax). Victims from all over WELS - two from each district, I believe - will gather at The Sausage Factory for some GA nostalgia.
Hold back the tears of laughter now. This is not a post from The WELS Potato. The participants will have an open discussion of the translations being considered (really only one).
This process will identify the boot-licking and ignorant friends of the NNIV while setting apart those who actually understand Biblical translation. Those who go along with the program will be rewarded while those who resist will be vilified behind their backs and punished in various ways.

| Lying is basic to WELS management. GA is based on lies, and still exists, but they lie about that too. |
The look on Paul Wendland's face during the convention discussion said it all - "How dare they question my authority and the majesty of my office?"
After this farce is over, the Dishonest Presidents will manipulate the upcoming meetings to approve the NNIV. They may even pull a Gurgle and say, "The presses are running at NPH already. We can't stop now!" (Feign a look of alarm and concern, for effect.)
The Gang of Four (Wisconsin plus Minnesota) will deliver roughly 75% of the WELS population to the NNIV. They are not alone in their doctrinal lassitude. If a district comes down against the NNIV, the minority will be condemned as extremists and Ichabodians. Even the ultra-polite Intrepids are dismissed as radicals.
The discussions and votes do not matter, except they serve as justification for the final decision. Only the feminist Shrinkers wanted Northwestern College merged into Dr. Martin Luther College, but amalgamation turned into a fact from all the fake participation and faux-votes. The ultimate vote failed, so amalgamation buddies turned the results around and reported a victory. It pays to have the power to appoint the ballot committee.
The only question is - will anyone fight this battle?
PS - Don't expect Synod President Mark Schroeder to show any leadership. He is utterly silent.

The attempted steamroll by Committee 19 can be watched here (Note: most of these men have been teaching the (W)ELS called workers - Clergy, teachers etc)
