Denials - And Naturally - The Eighth Commandment Cited Twice While Attacking My Motives


A reader said: "LOL, that 2nd e-mailer seriously thinks that MLC didn't know? They knew. Half the campus knew about Zak and his deal, according to my sources."


On Zak's Coming Out

As expected, I noticed your posts about Zak Stowe's coming out on facebook. It was expected, but that's not why a fair amount of us (Zak's friends) are upset. We're more upset that you literally are just making things up about him.

Now, I've seen a few times that you've had the 8th commandment thrown against you in too many situations. And in many cases I agree, they're misused. Hell, as a student at MLC I agree with a lot of the criticisms of WELS and MLC that are put forth and think there needs to be change, so I'm not saying this out of a need to defend holy mother synod or anything. But this is a true case of 8th commandment abuse. 

"The college wanted him to stay in the closet, long after graduation, to make them look good."

That *literally* is just made up, there is no truth to it, you just made it up to make WELS look bad. I'm good friends with Zak, I've known he's gay for awhile, talked with him during the Inherit The Wind debacle and subsequent visits he's had with professors.

That. Never. Happened. They didn't know, they had no clue, there was no conspiracy, they never told him to stay in a closet, never knew he was gay. If you wanna (sic) criticize MLC and the WELS, use actual criticisms, don't make stuff up like this. That *is* an abuse of the 8th commandment, and you of all people should know that. 

Zak had no deal with the college, ever. He graduated with a degree in educational studies because he couldn't student teach for completely different reasons unrelated to his being gay, that was never known by the school. Don't lie.

In Christ,
-K

GJ - The message above arrived by email, a few minutes after an obscene, lewd, nasty email - from Zak Stowe. Facebook contacts confirm that it came from Zak, since he reposted it on his own Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/zak.stowe?fref=ts

Among other things, Zak bragged about posting photos of himself on a gay porn site. Did he use Martin Luther College's equipment and bandwidth? One year the seniors had a contest about who could get past the porn-blocking filter at MLC.

Typical WELS - they want to debate the rumor and start making personal attacks. Sorry, but I can only report rumors. That is factual reporting.

Half the student body knows about the deal Zak made with MLC. He just posted that he has been lying for the last 12 years. Why not a few more lies?

According to the two emails today, Schone is oblivious. Of course, WELS has a cover story for every scandal. 

WELS leaders know nothing and remember even less, even if they are eye-witnesses. Look at the stars of Party in the MLC. They deliberately copied every move of a gay video and publicly proclaimed their innocence about all that. Why, they just climbed off the manure wagon to go to college. They only knew about farm animals - and thus they were fooled until someone Googled "gay" after reading Ichabod. No wonder one of them is going to work with a DP - he has the lame excuses down pat.

I am not sure why today's authors are so angry with me. Zak Stowe has the publicity he wanted -842 views already. He posted his original on Facebook for everyone to see. I published his message verbatim. I had no trouble believing it was from a Martin Luther College graduate - 

I want to leave MLC with this message to those who are scared to except (sic) themselves...

Nothing verifies WELSian authorship faster than bad spelling and worse grammar. 

Naturally - everything is my fault.
