At Home in the Hoosegow of My Fathers Walther left Europe early to escape arrest warrants for kidnapping. Zion reports that other minor children, including girls, were also smuggled to America. |
It looks like the ULC chapel sale was a secret work in progress at the district level ever since 2001. Up to that year the Southern MN District held the deed, paid the property expenses, and paid for the chaplain. Then in 2001 an agreement was struck whereby the congregation became tenants who paid $42,000 in rent to the district, and the congregation paid the campus pastor. So the district in 2011 sold the building out from under the congregation based on the false charges that ULC was a bad tenant because they installed a washer and dryer and rented out space w/o authorization and kept the money. One can see the district was hoping to sell the building to real estate developers for an entire decade:

GJ - Walther was an Antinomian legalist. He had a law for everyone except himself. The Saxon society got out of its financial crisis by robbing their bishop and sending to Illinois at gunpoint. Zion on the Mississippi says they all knew Stephan was a serial adulterer.
Today the Olde Synodical Conference claims that the Great Walther handled the matter well.

"Jackson and his ilk will try all they want to discredit the WELS in connection with Joel Hochmuth's arrest. But WELS has handled the situation well." Yes, it sounds familiar - same UOJ DNA.
