How To Recognize an Abusive Cult
To save space on the blog, I am linking the crime stories from this page. Additions will also be linked on this page. To make it easier to Mequon and Concordia graduate to see their old friends, I have posted a photo when available and the link below it.
Several survivors of abuse have already thanked me for doing this.
 |
| WELS District President Edward Werner has now faced his Maker for crimes against young girls. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2016/01/in-public-record-x-rated-sorry-wels.html |
 |
| WELS Evergreen Teacher Anthony Natalie Jr. was arrested for voyeurism. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2016/01/wels-teacher-anthony-natalie-jr-was.html |
 |
| WELS District President Steinbrenner flew to Alaska to keep Pastor Wall from being fired for writing a love letter and special Christmas card to a minor girl. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2015/11/wels-district-president-bullies-council.html |
 |
| Circuit Pastor phoned me to straighten me out about Wall's love letter and Christmas card - denying he and the DP had a duty to report. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2015/12/alaskan-wels-circuit-pastor-same-old.html |
 |
| WELS Pastor Bendix, far right, was arrested for soliciting prostitution. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2015/07/wels-new-ulm-pastor-arrested-on.html |
 |
| Synod President Matt Harrison ordered Steadfast Lutherans to erase their posts about Darwin Schauer, a sex offender encouraged to enter the ministry by a Missouri DP. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2012/04/lcms-case-darwin-schauer-convicted-sex.html |
 |
| A criminal report in 1999 had B-Rod involved with a minor girl, but he taught in WELS and offended again. How did the lawsuit end? http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2016/01/from-2008-wels-facing-lawsuit-over.html |
 |
| This WELS teacher slept in a student's bedroom, but not on the floor. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2008/12/another-wels-church-worker-charged.html |
 |
| The CLC (sic) was organizing conferences in Germany with Horst Gutsche, who was arrested in Needles, California for messing with young boys. Gutsche has been a WELS, CLC (sic), ELCA, and ELCiC pastor - and still is one! http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2015/09/gutschekoenig-conference-held-in.html |
 |
| The FBI raided WELS headquarters, the old Love Shack, and found hundreds of child porn files in Joel Hochmuth's office. Hochmuth was absolved publicly by Mark Schroeder, convicted, given a featherweight work-release sentence - and offended again. http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2011/11/wels-love-shack-director-of.html |
More later - two murders, sex with a minor girl, DUI arrests, embezzlement, and a massive ELCA lawsuit for ordaining a boy predator.
