GJ - WELS Pastor Steve Spencer suggested sending $1 a month for the mission offering. If 100 congregations did that, the WELS leaders might start listening to the congregations.
Beckie's response was that it would "hurt ministries" even though Spencer was arguing for sending the mission money directly to those who needed it. Hint - most mission offering money sent to the synod goes to the bloated salaries of the bloated staffmembers.
The discussion is about the utter lack of support for the woman and her husband who objected to the sexual harassment by Ski and Glende.
Several have jumped into the discussion to say they do not believe the woman and her husband, even though Glende had to admit to the court (since he sued the husband for telling the truth) that the charges were true. Ski admitted to showing the x-rated photo to his executive assistant when he talked to Deputy Doug Engelbrecht, so there is nothing to deny at this point.
The synod minders continue, and the women are the worst.

The synod minders are an amazing lot. You can glean from their writings that
they are a part of Team WELS. It reminds me of Packers fans. When they talk
about their team, they will use the pronoun we, as if they were also on the
field and were part of the game.
My not so deep psychological theory is that
they feel the need to be part of Team WELS. Therefore, any actions and events
which tarnish Team WELS will likewise tarnish them. The 8th Commandment and
Matthew 18 are like a pair of broken crutches that they try to hold themselves
up with. There are a multitude of analogies for them which cross my mind.
The
worst part is that Whack-a-Mole game that they engage in when the victims go
public.
In Christ,
