Getting Advice from a WELS Attorney Is Like Shopping for Fruit with Satan

The original art is worse than the NNIV.
Worse?
Yes, even worse.


quercuscontramalum (http://quercuscontramalum.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "WELS Hired Lawyers Threaten Congregation. Sierra V...":

"... and without that non-profit status, no donations, fundraising, or other endeavors could be legally undertaken."

WELS has hired a lying snake for an attorney. Not having a 501c3 designation absolutely does NOT prohibit any person or organization from accepting donations, fundraising, or other endeavors. The 501c3 status merely changes how the donor characterizes it his own tax return.

WELS' attorney delivered a malicious lie to a WELS congregation.
[What else are they willing to lie about?]

If WELS doesn't correct this LIE by its attorney in the same manner as the lie was communicated, then WELS itself is complicit in the lie. Shame!

GJ - Today most banks want incorporation papers or a 501c3 designation, but that can vary between banks across the street from each other.

I did not see District President Jon Buchholz' name on the attorney's letter. That is one way to do the deed and not take credit. Let someone else be the hatchet man. If there is a firestorm, say, "Oh, he made a mistake. He was too severe. I corrected that." Damage control. Cover your assets. Spin.

It is much easier to destroy a congregation than to build one. The DPs and SPs in Walther's SynConference papacy are wreckers, not builders. They will retire in style while their grandchildren gingerly step through the ashes of their legacy.

Meanwhile, I will wait for Circuit Pastor Steve Spencer's repudiation of the letter - and a rebuke aimed at Buchholz on Intrepid Lutherans.
