Joel Lillo, Fox Valley WELS has left a new comment on your post "Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth, Then and Now":
The British monarchy is an unnecessary anachronism. It is the most expensive example, ever, of someone living on the public dole.

GJ - But Joel, you have the best examples in your own circuit - Ski and Glende, not to mention your Overlord, HRH Mark Jeske (WELS royalty, as they say in all seriousness). Queen Elizabeth owns vast amounts of property by right and serves her country tirelessly with tedious but important public events and visits. Her Jubilee is a great boost for Britain in many tangible and intangible ways.
The typical WELS pastor will not visit his own members, not even the sick and shut-in. He will visit the gym regularly.
Evangelism for Glende is abandoning Savoy, Illinois, with a new building and debt (no WELS church in 50 miles) to start highly-subsidized competition with his own brother pastors in downtown Appleton. It is really a disgrace and a waste of vast sums of money.
Glende's situation also reminds me of the Randy Hunter parade of dollars. He had more workers than Santa for his Latte Church and feminist ministry - even Elton Stroh as a "consultant." But they were too exhausted to keep up their herculean efforts. And Hunter is a big WELS hero!
Mark Jeske lives on the public dole. His school business is based on tax money given to him to spend. Does he pay taxes on his posh mansion?
Queen Elizabeth answers to her own government. Mark Jeske answers to nobody.
Who paid for Ski, Glende, Katy, Buske, Parlow and other WELS nitwits to be trained by gay activist (and Babtist) Andy Stanley? Unleash the accountants! |
