rlschultz has left a new comment on your post "UOJ and Antinomianism":
The WELS scandals that go public provide an interesting diversion. It reminds me of the horrible skin condition called eczema. While the blistering skin is the symptom, the real cause of it is toxicity inside the body. Yet, the Church Growth leaders are all around within the WELS, and they get a free pass.
We can expect the usual damage control from the WELS leadership concerning the overt, public sins. What is happening is because of internal toxicity to the body of WELS. No amount of salve from the leaders will take care of that.

GJ - That is a cogent analysis of the WELS situation - Missouri too. Each scandal is viewed as a public relations opportunity. Dissenters are silenced and shunned. Pious announcements are issued. Journalists print the lies, and everyone forgets until the next time.
Notice that nothing was ever revealed about where the MLC Schwan Cathedral money went. All kinds of controls were established (after 150+ years?) and whoops, another $300,000 vanished.
What really grinds the ordinary parish pastor in the boonies is this - he can barely take care of his family and pay for needed medicine. Meanwhile, the synod leaders waste money fast enough to make President Obama and the First Wookie jealous. And nothing is done by SP Helpless or SP Hapless. They are good at
shutting down discussion and mocking those who want solutions, but their mysterious powers ebb away at that point.
Heretics make merry with synodical money, the sheep are flogged and fleeced, and the seminaries charge Yale fees for a community college degree. As I often told my community college students, "Your associates degree will earn you the second window at McDonald's - at best."
