Paul McCain is entertaining the troops over at Steadfast Deletion, Inc.
Waldo Werning is still my Facebook friend.
McCain and his high-priced boss, Bruce Kintz, both unfriended me. So did SP Matthew Harrison.
I only have 1435 FB friends left, about 800 of them are LCMS.
Werning last wrote me, "Are you staying out of trouble?" I said, "Never."
McCain has severe problems telling the truth, which is a common problem with plagiarists. I have had them in college classes. Except for one young lady, they rant and rave to the administration when caught. The leaders laugh about this, because it only calls attention to their dishonesty. After all, I already provided the evidence. "Here is the essay and here it the verbatim copy from the Internet."
One student failed a computer class. I said, "You can take it again." He shouted as he left, "I will take it from someone who can teach." I said, "How do you know? You never came to class."
Plagiarists are stuck at an early teen-age level of maturity. One girl stormed out of class when I took five seconds to help her with her work. Next she stormed into my boss's office and reported me. He asked, "Have you attended each class?" She said, "No." He said, "That would be a good start in passing the class."
The "work" of plagiarists is a lie and their cover-ups are a lie, too. I had one entire class involved. They said they had no idea! But when I left for the supper break, all the evidence disappeared from the table up front. No idea, indeed. The unrepentant say, "Everyone does it." and "I provided the citation."
It is exceptionally strange to have an aging, high-priced editor at CPH engaging in high school level plagiarism, in teen-aged temper tantrums when caught.
McCain's reputation for telling the truth precedes him everywhere.
Example One - He denied working with Herman Otten to get Al Barry elected. That was during McCain's two-year parish experience. But McCain bragged to me that he was doing sending Al Barry's material early to Christian News so it would be in Christian News as if by magic. Otten and McCain denied engaging in subterfuge, but both of them bragged to me about it. McCain told me that Barry hired him, but said, "Don't tell Otten."
Later, Otten was telling me about this great adventure and said, "Barry hired McCain." I said, "I knew. He told me not to tell you." I should have said, "How marvelous! What a shock!" Otten was not happy about the secrecy. But I figured, "Lie down with dawgs, git up with fleas."
Otten has all the evidence of their work together, in his files.
Example Two - McCain makes up whatever suits him at the moment. Norman Teigen is just one example of a person he deeply offended. Larry Darby started legal action against McCain, which I know from Darby describing the exact circumstances.
McCain told his gullible readers that Bethany Lutheran Church was named after my dead daughter. And added, "How sick is that?"

| This is our little Bethany. McCain and Glende both attacked me through this little baptized saint. They wonder why people are jumping out the exit doors of Missouri and WELS. |
McCain had no idea how Bethany Lutheran Church was named. The members picked the name from a list they compiled themselves. They liked having a Biblical name. Bethany is in the Bible, but I doubt McCain processed that fact. He invented a fact - he lied and asked - "How sick is that?" I have to ask, "How sick is a fake pastor who uses the death of a helpless infant to score meaningless points?"
Tim Glende engaged in the same behavior, even using my sainted daughters against me. No wonder McCain and Glende became blogging pals.
McCain is a nasty, little Romanizing plagiarist. I told Pastor Scheer they should not be enabling this vile beast, but Missouri seems to enjoy having its own pet Tazmanian Devil each generation.

Pastor emeritus Nathan Bickel has left a new comment on your post "McCain Makes Waldo Werning Look Tame":
Ichabod -
I can't imagine the sorrow you and your wife went through losing to this life your two little baptized angels. What was said about them and in reference to them, is almost bordering on [humanly] unforgivable.
However, be that as it may: I hope that you can (from the heart) forgive this LCMS "Tazmanian Devil." But, then, again, I don't read in Scripture that one is called upon to forgive devils. Perhaps, you could [then] forgive (from the heart) all the other myriad personalities of this particular human jackal......

P.S. My comment presupposes that there is a difference of forgiving (from the heart) and reconciliation.

GJ - It is not good practice to offer absolution for the unrepentant.

A. Berean has left a new comment on your post "McCain Makes Waldo Werning Look Tame":
“At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea…Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish”
(Matthew 18:1-6, 10-14 - KJV)
Dr. Jackson, I’m very sorry for your loss. I take comfort in knowing that your dear daughters were baptized, little lambs of the Lord Jesus and are resting in Abraham’s bosom. It appalls me to read that comment from Rev. McCain. It astonishes me that a comment like that can come from someone who calls himself a Lutheran Pastor, let alone a Christian! I hope that he sincerely repents of this horrible offense to God who says that he ought to have a millstone hanged about his neck and drowned in the depths of the sea!

GJ - A WELS member phoned to say how disgraceful it was, too. I pointed out to that person that WELS District VP Paul Kuske started that kind of thing, using Erin Joy's death against me. He told everyone that I went crazy after Erin died, which is why I was against clergy adultery and Church Growth. Of course, that is the very definition of insanity in WELS - to be against adulterous clergy and adulterous doctrine.
WELS and Missouri lead the way in vicious behavior, yet always ready to howl "Eighth Commandment!" when someone brings up false doctrine.
