WELS Discipline - Notice Who Is Excommunicated

When the Arkansas football coach got caught with someone's fiance,
locals say that her intended husband messed up Bobby Petrino's face,
not the bike accident that left Jessica's smile immaculate.
WELS would have promoted Petrino to Athletic Director.

Notice two recent excommunications and their cause - upheld by the DPs and SP Mark Schroeder:

• Rick Techlin - for correctly identifying Tim Glende's plagiarism and his false doctrine from Groeschel. 
• Joe Krohn - for asking Kudu Don Patterson about being born forgiven, and for asking about all the money spent on fund-raising fees.

Just as important, look at who was NOT excommunicated by WELS:

1. Al Just, for murdering his wife with a steak knife and lying about it. He married his children's babysitter while enjoying a brief stint in prison.
2. Bill Tabor, for participating with his mistress in murdering his wife, lying about it, and moving to a new call in Escanaba. No time in prison.
3. Joel Hochmuth was caught swapping man/boy rape files with other deviants. SP Schroeder immediately absolved Joel, who promptly pleaded "not guilty" before plea-bargaining for lesser charges.
4. DP Ed Werner went to state prison for molesting girls in his congregation. He also arranged for the adoption of illegitimate babies from his congregation while serving his time. Not one leader in WELS did anything about his proclivities until the women in his parish united against his predation.

I could list more, all well known, but lacking a complete file. 

A reporter asked SP Gurgle (now working with Patterson) about the pastor promoted by WELS for having an affair with a woman in his congregation. Gurgle's response was to phone people to find out, "Who told the truth?"

DP Buchholz wanted to know, as well, "Who told you?" Like any criminal lawyer, Buchholz claimed, "That is very difficult to prove."

When your belt size is bigger than your IQ,
you are ready to serve Holy Mother WELS.
