I was abused for many years by my father, a WELS pastor. I was too young at the time to do anything, but be the "good girl" and do whatever was asked of me. Many years later when I did tell my"secrets", the DP, along with others, turned it all around and made it become my wrongdoing. Please do NOT give into them. You are the victim and the WELS is doing everything it can to turn it around and placing the blame on you. I pray that you talk to those who believe you and your safe pastor and reconsider your plan to stop writing your blog! You have opened the eyes of many people: people who DO believe you. The hierarchy of the WELS is trying to cover up anything which reflects negatively on them. You have many people praying for you. God is on your side and He will continue to be there for you. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. May God be with you and give you strength to accept His help!

| His son, the first VP of WELS, thought Floyd Stolzenburg was the victim. The apple does not fall far from the tree. |
GJ - Three messages will always come through:
1. The victim of abuse is the sinner, even when he or she is a child.
2. The pastor or teacher is an honored member of the Brotherhood and could not possibly be guilty of anything.
3. If someone dares to do something about the abuse, that action and those words are so heinous and wrong that the person objecting becomes the villain. The abuser is the helpless, innocent victim.
Lillian and Jane told their stories, which fit into these parameters quite well. I have experienced #3 first-hand.
Remember, worshipers of WELS - Al Just confessed to murdering his wife, lied at the trial, and was defended at the trial by Lloyd Huebner, the president of Martin Luther College in New Ulm. Al Just spent a short time in prison for murdering the mother of his children. He married the baby-sitter of his children, but she wised up soon and left him.
Lloyd Huebner got on the stand in court and served as a character reference, even though Al Just claimed that his wife rolled over on a steak knife - in bed - dozens of times and bled to death. A busload of WELS supporters came to his trial.
