Braun Tips the Scale in the WELS Translation Retreat

Here's how it works - Ski and Glende love Mark Driscoll (left),
and he is meeting with Packer, right.
Packer edited the ESV, so that makes the ESV good for WELS.
I forgot - Moo loves to work for Murdoch, who sells the NNIV.
Money is the only Means of Grace.
The NNIV means more money, they imagine,
so the NNIV is best for WELS.
But the ESV ain't bad.

Someone is stepping on the translation scale in the WELS -

"Differences of opinion may exist in those options, and we may have to do what the ancient church did—call a council to decide what it best for us."

GJ - A toe on the scale? Brett, that is definitely an Eighth Commandment violation, except one cannot cry slander if it is true.
