If Adultery Is Not Enough To Boost Your Career in WELS,
Try the Appleton Liquid Diet - Beer

A steady supply of beer will help a WELS pastor's chance of becoming DP.
Never overlook the value of a DUI arrest:
It won't hurt and it might help.

Hebrews Will Be the New Adult Study




I decided to have a study of Hebrews, since we finished the Pastoral Epistles. I wanted to add to the Hebrews graphics. In doing so I discovered many similarities to the Gospel of John.

Hebrews is the most colorful epistle and unusual in its language. The letter has been attributed to Paul and to Apollos.

I will have some additional introductory material later today. The graphic above is my latest one, as I work through Hebrews. I decided some time ago to do some Photoshop work each day, to build upon my rudimentary skills. The satirical ones are fun, but the most fulfilling work is to illustrate Luther, the Book of Concord, and the Scriptures.



UOJ Enthusiasts Cannot Refute the Scriptures or Luther



Luther's Commentary on Galatians, posted here.
Listen to the UOJ fanatics -
they are all law (their own) and glory in their works.
They hate justification by faith.

Pope Paul, the Unlearned Plagiarist,
Has Found His Brother in the UOJ Un-Faith - Tim Glende

Pope Paul McCain does not apologize for his plagiarism, for sinuflecting to Rome. All his comments piled up high will not absolve him from breaking the law. We cannot steal the original words of others and claim them as our own. 

Yet McCain takes $182,000 a year from Concordia Publishing House to pose as an editor. If CPH imagines someone is using their stuff - oh my! They pounce instantly. The post above is the real McCain. He has found a UOJ/CG brother in Tim Glende. They "work" the same way.

Nevertheless, plagiarism is against the law. Glende is another plagiarist who denies copying without attribution. His response to the evidence was to excommunicate the attorney who told him the truth. Remember WELS' love for Matthew 18?  

When the district pastors and laity wanted to meet with the District Pope, Deputy Doug, he set up a meeting finally and skipped it, leaving a letter that blamed me for his troubles.

McCain could always find a job in WELS if he finally gets the Left Foot of Fellowship from Missouri. He could copy and paste for Ski and Glende.

DP Doug says there is nothing wrong with plagiarism. Lots of his pastors do it. When the Bethany Appleton pastor got caught copying Swindoll verbatim and taking credit for it, the pastor accused his accusers of...wait for it...violating Matthew 18. Yes, he was truly sorry - sorry he got caught.

Bethany in Appleton hosts Church and Change conferences, but why not? SP Schroeder backs Jeske and the Changers, protecting and promoting them.

 

In Paul McCain's Copying Work - "Source" Means a Roman Catholic Website

Do not annoy Paul McCain with Lutheran doctrine
or the facts.

Paul McCain wants people to read Roman Catholic material, but he does not admit this in his flimsy citations.

The latest violation is his Justin Martyr post. It is not one of his 100% copied pieces, with little or no citation, but once again, "source" means a Roman Catholic website.

http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=4144

The Roman Catholics have a massive apologetics efforts, but the Lutherans are content to promote Fuller Seminary (LCMS, ELCA, ELS and WELS) and Roman Catholicism/EO (LCMS, ELCA, WELS, ELS).

Roman Catholic Archbishop Weakland and his priests gave
a series of lectures at Wisconsin Lutheran College, (WELS).

Floyd Stolzenburg was kicked out of the LCMS "for cause,"
so WELS adopted him as their Church Growth expert in Columbus.
When he finally wore out his welcome, they endorsed him for a parish.
The ELS welcomed him as a money source for Thoughts of Faith.
Remember that when the "conservative" Lutherans knock the Church of Rome
they secretly admire and emulate.
The Glende boys grew up in the congregation Floyd infected with CG.



VirtueOnline - News - Exclusives - KALAMAZOO, MI: Disgraced Rector given $468,000
In Severance Payout by Bishop.
Mainline Denominations - Like WELS and LCMS -
Reward Incompetence

"We are walking together with WELS and Missouri,
thanks to Thrivent."


VirtueOnline - News - Exclusives - KALAMAZOO, MI: Disgraced Rector given $468,000 in Severance Payout by Bishop:


Three days after shoving a 74-year old parishioner Marcia Morrison, the rector of troubled St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Kalamazoo resigned and has been given a $468,000 payout by Western Michigan Bishop Robert Gepert.

The Rev. Jay Lawlor, 41, served a brief 21 months as rector of the parish. Parishioners described his tenure as uninspiring and said he was unqualified to lead. One parishioner described him as "inept" and "narcissistic" and a "puppet of Bishop Gepert."

Church members say there has been tension in the parish ever since Lawlor started as rector in July '09 and continued till March '11 when he tended his resignation to the satisfaction of the vast majority of the parish who wanted him gone. Last fall, the diocesan office got involved in trying to resolve the dispute.

On March 2, Bishop Gepert sent a letter to parishioners informing them that he was taking over the parish and disbanding its lay board. At that time, Gepert announced that Lawlor would be going on a four-month leave, but first Lawlor had been was ordered to downsize the church staff.

On March 3, Lawlor terminated the employment of the parish secretary, music director and facilities manager.

After church services on March 6, parishioners confronted Lawlor about these unacceptable changes in the church. Witnesses said Lawlor became upset and headed down the church aisle hitting the elderly lady. He did not stop to apologize. She sued. A jury found him not guilty as the incident did not constitute assault.

The bishop has paid out nearly half a million dollars to Lawlor for a 3 year 9 month severance package, which includes his salary, medical and pension as well as his moving and attorney fees. The grand sum totaled $468,000. The money was taken from an unrestricted bequest fund.

A parishioner described the severance package as "criminal" saying he hoped that with Gepert's tenure being up in 18 months, a new bishop might change things.

Bishop Gepert did not return e-mail requests for an explanation of the payout.

Lawlor left the diocese and moved back to his home state of North Carolina. At his blog he maintains he is a priest and economist who has worked with Jeffery Sachs and the Earth Institute on the MDGs. He says he is founding an interfaith nonprofit aimed at getting faith communities involved in the Millennium Villages Project.

This is the practice in large companies also. After ruining the company, a CEO gets more when the company goes down than when it is making profit.

Immoral no?

This issue is going to take on more prominence as days go by and earth worship (satan worship) absorbs other religions.

From the above article (Lawlor) He says he is founding an interfaith nonprofit aimed at getting faith communities involved in the Millennium Villages Project.

Same goes for LCMS' Pres Harrison's favorite group - Lutheran World Relief and the Lutheran Synods financial glue - Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and their support for the United Nations United Religions Initiative - the new global religion.

Walmart Annual Meeting - Another Quiet Day in NW Arkansas


Celine ended the meeting with a three-song set.
No one sat down during her singing. All the cameras were flashing.



Justin Timerlake wore a hula skirt, imitating the founder, Sam Walton.



Lionel Richie and many others had the audience dancing in the huge Walton stadium,
with 16,000 cheering stockholders packed to the rafters.



Taylor Swift sang her mean song, which she blended perfectly with  smirky close-ups.



Walmart is selling Acts of Valor, an action adventure movie featuring Navy SEALs instead of actors.
The director said, "I am spoiled after working with them."


Many of the associates from all over the world toured the $1.2 billion American art museum,
not far from our woodsy home in Bella Vista.
Admission is free.





Prophetic about how Church and Changers treat everyone, eh?
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing.

But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean.

WELS Reports Linked Here - Murdoch NNIV, Dying Schools, and More Diaprax (Process)

Piepenbrink is the latest WELS felon to plea-bargain.
He did not receive a papal absolution, because he skimmed WELS money.
That is considered usurping the power of The Love Shack staff.
SP Schroeder immediately and publicly absolved Joel Hochmuth,
WELS Director of Communications,
for sharing man-boy rape graphics/videos with fellow aficionados.
Plea-bargaining, he should be sentenced soon.

https://connect.wels.net/sites/sew/SitePages/Home.aspx

SP Schroeder has little to say. A chart with felony arrests of WELS staffers should be in each annual SP report, so he can say, "Felony arrests dropped 50% this year, but plea-bargains were up." It would add  a note of reality to the traditional smoke and mirror approach.

The Murdoch NNIV gets puff treatment again in the latest TEC report, which is as objective as David Valleskey's analysis of the Church Growth Movement.

The language of the NNIV report proves how little those men are to be trusted with the Word of God.

For example, they write - translations may have doctrinal problems, but those are offset by other doctrinal passages in the Bible that teach the doctrine clearly. Everything is kept delightfully vague, but that principle alone should be enough to get the whole group tossed into Lake Michigan by an angry crowd. Instead, they will be praised and thanked, world without end, Amen.

The old NIV is treated like a favorite, beloved grandma who is slowly slipping away, shovel-ready in the words of President Obama. In reality, the old NIV travesty made the New NIV possible.

Mequon got WELS ready for the NIV by trashing the King James Version every chance they could get. The pastors obliged their overlords by carrying the message to the congregations. Now several generations are trained on the anti-Means of Grace and leaden prose of the NIV.

I may translate the entire report into Word and post it, with highlights, today or tomorrow.

This prediction just came in from a secure, undisclosed location in WELS - the Traitorous Evaluation Commissars will announce they have one more year of grace to use Grandma NIV - oh joy! They will continue to promote the NNIV and claim at the convention next year - "Time's up. We have to approve the NNIV now! Emgency! Blow the ballast tank! Sound the klaxon. The entire Kingdom of God is at stake."

That may sound extreme, some may claim. That is how they managed to buy Prairie and turn a failing Catholic high school into a failing WELS prep school, only to have it find success as a prison.

Good news - Last year, Stroh helped close down the Latte Church
with the female pastor.
